Who are your major musical influences? Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, and Richie Sambora

What was the first album you owned? Paul Stanley of Kiss’ first solo album. The next 15 albums or so that I bought were also from Kiss. Yes, I’m a member of the Kiss Army, baby!

Your first band?  It was so long ago but I think it was a band called Redline

Your most memorable gig?  May 25, 2008. It was our first time at the world famous Whisky-A-GO-GO and oh what a show-show!

Who was your first crush?  When I was 14 and went head over heels for a girl named Carrie.  When I saw her a couple of years later, I was like "What the hell was I thinking!" 

What's the worst date you've ever been on?  When I was 18 I took a girl who lived down my street to her prom. Once we got there, she commenced to dance and flirt with every dateless guy who was there. After a couple of hours I left and walked 5 miles in the pouring rain until I got back home.

What's your perfect/ideal date?  Preferably someone with a pulse!

What do you like to do in your spare time?  I like to play naked hula-hoop! But seriously, I play my guitar. It’s what I love to do.

If you were stranded on an island and could only listen to one album, what would it be? Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet, but a close second would be Kiss Alive. Both are timeless classics and they bring back fond memories of my childhood.

If you made a movie, what it would be about? A rock band, one full of tenacity and the determination to never quit. One that goes from being the biggest underdog to being the biggest band on Earth. And you’d call it… I think you know what I’d call it;-)

Who would you count on to rob a bank with you? Why? My band. We’re partners in crime and like most musicians, we can sure use the money!

If you could be anyone for a day, who it would be?  Megan Fox! I would never leave my room;-)

If you could create your own rock & roll heaven for when you die, what would it be like? It would include Randy Rhoads, Jimi Hendrix, John Bonham, and Elvis. We would jam right outside The Pearly Gates so all those waiting to get in would have something to pass the time with. Heaven would never be the same!
