- Allan Holdsworth is a true living legend in my book because of what he did melodically and harmonically, and just in the pantheon of rock guitarists.
- Some of us are going to play faster than others. Hitting the right notes and getting your technique right is so much more important than speed.
- Radiohead - man, I like that band but they depress me sometimes.
- I'm always focusing on melody and unique harmonies, and I try to bring in people who will enhance the rhythmic approach.
- [on giving autographs] I've signed the obvious things - body parts of every kind, just about. Women get their breast tattooed when I've signed them, bald guys have their heads tattooed with my signature. We've had a lot of leg signatures, just about every article of clothing. I think the weirdest was I signed a birth certificate for a young kid whose parents had named him 'Satriani'. He'll be wondering why he's called Satriani and not Dave or something.
