I once said to someone, If I could shave my head and wear no makeup and get a part just on my talent, I would be the happiest person in the world.
Playing live is about going for it. . it's about bringing it. . . you should see a bunch of people trying out stuff, actually performing, instead of learning the record and recreating it note for note. I can't play the show the same way every night. . I really need to be in a creative environment, every night or I'll go nuts. . . my manager accuses me of singing just long enough to get me to my next guitar solo - which is true.
