| Equipment | Guitar: 1991 Jackson Randy Rhoads Custom. Amp: Peavy 5150 (original block letter). Obviously, I'm not much of a gearhead, but I had a ball using all of the great shit Matt Crooks has in his studio |
| Favorite guitarists | Ron Jarzombek and Mattias Eklundh are my very favorite players at the moment, but my list of favorites will always include Andy Summers, Chris Poland, and James Murphy |
| Size of music collection | 3600 CDs, ~150 LPs and 7"s, ~1000 demo tapes and live bootlegs |
| Most wanted items | off the top of my head: The Last Exit sessions featuring Sting, "Images of Despair" by Coprofago, and anything from Arakain. I'm always looking for something! |
| Fondest studio memory | Nailing the "After the Fire" solo in one take, or doubling the "In the Violet Fire" solo in two takes. (I guess solos in "Fire" songs are my forte.) And if not one of those, then drinking the fabled Coronita! |
| Worst studio memory | Recording a certain Iron Maiden cover which shall remain nameless |
| What's wrong in the world | President Bush and fascists everywhere |
| What's right | Hayao Miyazaki's movies |
| Favorite Pharaoh song | "Sunrise" |
| Heavy metal mantra | "Don't just listen to metal, but don't stop listening to metal!" |
