I don't feel guilty about the music I love. If you feel guilty about something you dig, then you should stop feeling guilty about it.

Rick Nielsen, Angus Young. Huge Eddie Van Halen fan when I was younger. Jimmy Page is an enormous one who impacts me.

Even when I started listening to the Clash or the Sex Pistols, I still always listened to Led Zeppelin or Kiss.

And that's really not a good instinct with a 'Daily Show' field piece, where it's supposed to be an interview.
John Oliver

Every July, August and part of September I escape of the guitar, I escape of Paco de Lucia and I go to Mexico to the Carrabian.
