Who doesn't like to play Black Sabbath tunes!

I really respect Zakk Wylde's guitar playing and his compulsive work ethic.

Learn licks and songs from records.

Even though I'll do finger warm-ups that go up and down the neck to build up my chops and dexterity, I never, ever sit around and practice the actual licks I'm gonna play live. If you do, then you'll be all worried about the complexity of getting the fingering right and everything else about it, as opposed to the feel.

Play the pentatonic blues scale, just for fret- and pick-hand dexterity and to mesh them both together.

To me, a sure-fire way to get in a rut is by sitting around playing by yourself for too long. You've gotta get out there and jam, man! You don't have to necessarily be in a band, all you've gotta have are a couple of buds who play too. They don't have to be guitarists either; jamming with a bassist or a drummer is cool.

The easiest place to get a natural harmonic on any string is at the 12th fret. All you do is lightly rest one of your left-hand fingers on a string directly above that fret and then pick it.

When I first started experimenting with harmonics, I'd sometimes hook up two distortion boxes just to get my strings 'frying,' which helped bring out the harmonics.

Some of my favorite harmonics are located between frets. There are two really cool ones between the 2nd and 3rd frets that I use a lot.

I use some pretty radical harmonics at the beginning of 'Heresy.'

As far as I'm concerned, it's no good being able to wail out smokin' leads if your rhythm chops hugg!

When you're on the road, you've got to have your four-track - or some kind of recording device to jam on and have a good time.

I do some three-part harmonies on 'Throes of Rejection' and 'Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks,' but I didn't go overboard with it.

Whenever I record more than two or three layers, it starts to get cluttered up, and you can't hear the cut of the guitars as good. It's hard to get four guitars to hit at exactly the same time and keep the attack tight.

I'm not going for a soft sound. I ain't lookin' for a warm sound. My sound is warm, but I don't need tubes to do it. The Randall RG-100 is the best amp for what I do.

I love 'Dogman' by King's X and Living Colour's 'Stain.'

To make harmonics scream, I first dump my Floyd Rose real quick, hit a harmonic with my left hand while the string is still flapping, and then use the bar to pull it up to the pitch I wanna hit.

Find someone you can jam with. That's a big deal. When you play with someone else, you gotta work together to get the thing started and in time, working and in the groove.

Yeah, nothing feels better than knowing that I can put a guitar in my hands at any time and rip - even when I'm taking a crap!

I'll sleep anywhere!

It's funny, man, sometimes you record something that you plan on re-doing later, but then when you listen back to it, you decide to keep it because you realize that it's gonna be real tough to beat!

I always go for that live, honest feel when I'm going for that first rhythm track. I'll never hold back on a part just so it'll be easier for me to double it later on - to my ears, it sounds sterile if you do that. I always want to get that initial track kicking and full of slurs, squeals and feel. I'll worry about doubling it later!

I'm into the whole song-as-a-piece-of-music thing: if it literally doesn't call for it, if it already has enough stuff going on, then it's okay not to play a solo.

I've tried to force a solo before, but sometimes it's like, 'That thing don't really fit, man!'

I can never understand how a solo could ever be 'uncool.' Play something good, and it won't be uncool, you know?

I respect the Pantera fans with all my heart.

Way before we got a record deal, we were playing clubs seven nights a week, three one-hour sets a night. Then we got the record deal, and we took off on the road and stayed out.

Most bands don't make it past two albums and tours, if that. We pulled it off, and everybody's been happy and cool, but we got to the point where we knew it was time to take a break.

I've come to find out everybody loves ol' David Allan Coe, even people like Kid Rock.

I credit my success to my mother. Her prayers and support are everything to me. I know all she does for me, and I know nothing I do can ever pay back the amount of support she has given me.

Sometimes, against the underdog, you can lose because they want it more. It happens to every team.

The small details are important if you want to be a good player.

Ronaldo is brilliant, Messi more my kind of player. He sees the game so clearly. He can score, create; he's the complete player - the best ever, probably.

I don't smile all the time, but I smile inside.

I wanted to win trophies and play for the biggest club, and the biggest club in England is Manchester United.

I am a striker, and people expect strikers to score goals. But I don't see myself as a striker.

I am a perfectionist, and I set high standards.

You need to be a professional - how you train, how you eat, how you sleep, where you go outside of football.

You can find yourself doubting yourself. But that's when you need to keep faith and realise everything is going to be okay. You work hard in training and keep doing the things you're good at.

A player becomes great only when he realises he has great team-mates.

There are small things that every coach brings when they go to a new team. Like, you need to press this way or the other way.

Top-level football gives you fame and money, but it takes away a lot, too.

To win the league, you don't just need great players, but you need players who have the mentality of title winners.

If every player is on the left, and I am on the right, you need to trust me that I have seen something the other players have not seen.

I like to play with the ball and have the freedom to move around.

Like Nemanja Vidic, I came from a small town in a small country in Eastern Europe, but we had reached the top.

Sport is healthy, but it can be the opposite of that at the top level. You have so many injuries; you put your body through so much. You wake up at 2 in the morning, and you cannot move.

I came from a background where we didn't have bread. I know what it's like to live with money and no money.

When you know how to read football, it is easier for some players.

If Lukaku is not as good as others with his first touch, then give him a ball that he can handle.
