I think we all appreciate it now just how lucky we are to be in a band like Judas Priest.

We love not just Judas Priest music, but we love heavy metal and we love to get out on that stage every night and perform. It's a joy to be able to do it.

Shortly after that, we got management problems over in England, and Judas Priest asked me to join.

The hardest part is to travel, and to be away from your family.

I've got the luxury to tailor make the songs so I can sing them.

In my first bands I was a singing guitar player, but if you heard any of those songs you wouldn't describe me as a singer. But I can make it work.

A lot of bands that reunite do it for the wrong reasons. They do it for the bucks and everybody can sense it.

I never took a lesson until I was 20, and I'm glad I had those years living the life of a normal person. I don't consider that time wasted.

Back in 1994 there was no Judas Priest.

There are a lot better musicians than me out there that just haven't had the luck to fall into everything like I have.

I'm a married man and I've got two children, and you have to do sacrifices.

Always go after the girl. No matter what she says. Chase her.

There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we believe we left without having lived them, those we spent with a favorite book.

How we take it for granted – those trivial conversations

I could leave—because I could return. I could return—because I knew adventure lay just beyond an open door. Instead of either/or, I discovered a whole world of and.

I can't explain my feelings for him...they're strange. But he says it is why we are so much alike, why I dream of him. He calls it The Craving.

Misery alternates with euphoria.

The harder you tried not to think, the more you thought.

Well, you know, in this crazy world of entertainment, I would say if you have a dream, you have to pursue it.

When nothing makes sense and the world seems upside down, listen to your heart, it will never lie about your true feelings.

Feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise.
