I am the man who put the hair in hair metal.
Metal is still the biggest music now in America.
I still get crazy once in a while, but just less crazy.
It's weird, like, my life has always imitated art, and my art has always imitated life.
Sometimes you can do things for people other than yourself.
If I ever grow up, I don't want to be around for it.
I don't understand the mentality of a rock fan, being obsessed with two or three songs from 25 years ago. I'm not that kind of a fan.
It is easy for me to go play a rock show, I have been doing that all my life and I love that.
It's too easy to do your own site to not have one these days. I guess everyone has one.
Maybe one day I can have a reunion with myself.
You have got to make new music, that is the way that I look at it anyway.
The worst thing I ever wore, really, was rubber pants, but I don't think that was a cliche. They were just way too hot. Rubber doesn't breathe. I look back on my photos, and I dig them. I think I look really cool.
What is music for? It's to make you feel good.
A lot of people when they try to sing Skid Row songs, they're screaming and yelling too much. It's more singing than screaming.
You ever heard of a guy named Jeff Buckley? He's one of the best singers I've ever heard.
Inside I never said I wanted to do theatre or be an actor.
Maybe if they start playing new rock bands videos, then maybe but there is no point in a guy like me spending 250 grand for a video that no one is ever going to see.
I get noticed for different things I've done in different areas of town. If I'm in a rock club, it'll be Skid Row, if I'm in a mall it's the 'Gilmore Girls.'
There is no singing anymore, everything is yelling and shouting and rapping and that is real boring to a guy like me.
My voice has gotten me everything in my life, not my hair.
My vocal style is called bel canto, which is an old Italian vocal style going back hundreds of years.
Well, you know, if you do 200 shows a year, they're not all going to be like Castle Donnington.
I had to get out of my record deal that I signed with my previous band and get a full solo record deal going so, with all of the paperwork that, that entails it did take a while.
I think that the best rock n' roll is about the spirit of being young, the feeling of being 16 and getting crazy with your friends and going out to a show and just that whole feeling.
Quebec City is the most European of any city in North America, they speak French all the time. There is a part of town called Old Quebec which is really like being in France. The architecture is just gorgeous, food, shopping. I'd say Quebec city is the most beautiful city in North America I've seen.
