“WHEN I WAS about 11 years old, the song that really got me was ALICE COOPER’s I’m Eighteen, from Love It To Death. I actually ended up taking the CD to a sleepover and the girls all looked at me like I was an alien from outer space. Now as an adult, I’m out here owning my weird and it probably was because of Alice Cooper -he gave me the permission to find my own path. I was into BLACK SABBATH because of my dad, and I was very much a fan of the Dio years. Heaven And Hell is just so beautiful. Every time I thought about writing a song about some made-up character from one of my dreams, I tried to talk myself out of it, but then I would think about how Dio talks about dragons and witches. It was also one of the first riffs that I ever learned on guitar.
