That's the life really isn't it? You write. You record. You play. And it never grows old.
I love people. I love being in a band. I love making music. I had to figure out that was way more important than being addicted.
The last thing we wanted was a copycat. When we saw [Richie Faulkner] play, we thought, "We don't have to tell this guy anything. He's got it."
Richie Faulkner is very respectful to the songs that he plays from when [founding member] K.K. [Downing] was in the band. He plays them incredibly. And he's got his own nuances and his own techniques that he puts in - as he should.
The only advice we gave Richie Faulkner was we wanted Richie to be his own guy. You have to let your musicians in your band be who they are.

It's a joy to actually be able to control your own music.
