Well, I actually first got into music as a small child, and as I became a teen, I sought out making money from music, weather that was singing lounge gigs, backup in studios, or weddings.
Mary Gauthier's great. Yeah, we've played a lot of gigs together. She's really wonderful.
My feet never touched the ground. Lots of good groups with crazy and unique images. It was wild. I spent all of my time doing gigs, TV appearances, interviews, or recording. I could write a book -- and probably will.
If you have to have a job in this world, a high-priced movie star is a pretty good gig.
My ambition when I started out was to play two or three gigs a week. And that's what I'm doing.
At the end of '69 I did a gig with Jean Luc Ponty here in L.A. He was an electric violinist.

Like most things that happen with Sabbath, it happened all of a sudden. I was intending on doing some recording, but out of the blue, Sharon called up and said she wanted us to do these gigs with Ozzy. I said that if everybody else was up to it then I would love to do it.
It took us two years to get our first real gig. That was a big dream. We ended up booking a lot of our own gigs and putting on a lot of our own shows. We were trying to get our actual music across, trying to make a connection there.
The Misfits pretty much funds the Misfits. It used to cost me money to be in the band. I think we got paid the last gig we ever did. After that, we had to work to support our families.
I do road gigs occasionally but I don't want to go out on the road for months at a time.
I learned the songs and played the gigs, and then they called me about a month later. They told me they were like super stoked on me and asked me to join their band.
At the moment I have my family coming out with me on the road. We have our own vehicle and its more like a family vacation. I just stop, do some gigs, and take off. Its a lot more fun now with the family.

The best part was watching Journey grow into this monster. The band was huge, playing these enormous gigs.

If the gig's going really well, I'm incredibly happy on stage and really feel good about my life and things.
