You have to remember now, I was not being terribly successful at going solo. ↗

I didn't want to take the guitar solos down note-for-note, but more or less use them as a map, and keep all the hooks from the guitar playing, and let myself come through. ↗

As a solo artist, I just felt cemented in front of the mike stand. There was very little time to play with the audience and be a band member. ↗

By the time I did that third solo album, I'd finally learned how to do it, but I'd also learned that I liked being in a band. ↗

I love the idea of stepping out of the band situation into a solo world with no boundaries, no expectations, where nothing is out of bounds. ↗

When I was 15, I made a solo record. It made Artie very unhappy. He looked upon it as something of a betrayal. ↗

It's interesting when you've been a partner with someone for so long. So now to sing solo and starting all over again I am learning that I am more bodacious than I thought. I don't know where it's coming from but I am glad. ↗

My dad is a huge rock and roll lead guitar fan. I didn't even really know that until recently. Everything has to have a guitar solo in it. ↗

There's something about the rawness of the live thing, there's no rhythm guitars behind the solo, nothing other than what you hear the people playing at that moment. It's exciting, it's about the performance. ↗

Oh. Yes. There. Is. A. Lot of pressure. As a solo singer. Absolutely. ↗
