I don't really understand the question

RATT - Infestation


New Year’s resolution?

Make sure to not have sex with girls that are blood related. We are getting old and we really have kids around the world and they have grandchildren. It gets confusing.

Ozzy pulled his back out and cancelled part of the tour that we where on. So we got to hang out in London and get hammered and wrote some songs.

Lose about 10 lbs before our New Years Eve show here in Hollywood so I can fit in my new outfit.

Van halen
Ryan Cabrerra
Bryan Adams
Cheap trick
Shania Twain
Thornley


If you could bring back one musician from the grave for a day, who and why?

Bon Scott - Cause he wasn't really done reaching his peak
