I play guitar on the songs Dirty Dreams and Hurricane Years. I was sent a tape of the tracks in advance, so as a result was able to record all of my parts in a few hours. The recording was done at Bearsville Studios in New York. It was great to work with Alice and also producer Peter Collins.

I had a blast playing on these tunes. I remember being slightly disappointed though when I heard the final mix because my guitar sound was a little thinner and brighter than I like. When you guest on someone else's project though, the most important thing is being part of their vision.

After playing on these tunes, I was asked to play in Alice's band on the Operation Rock 'N Roll tour. I was really impressed with how nice of a guy Alice is. For being such a legend, you would almost expect him to not be such a down-to-earth normal guy. This was a really fun tour. One thing that really stands out in my mind is playing some great games of poker on the tour bus. We did a bunch of shows throughout America, but unfortunately I was unable to do the European leg of the tour because I was going out to do the Meltdown tour.

One of the unluckiest things that ever happended to me was that I left Alice's band two weeks before they appeared in the first Wayne's World movie. I was told that the band would be doing this Wayne's World thing but at that time, I really didn't watch TV, and so I had no clue what Wayne's World even was! HEY STOOPID!! HELLO! You could have been in a huge movie. Duh! I have been told that bassist Greg Smith and I look alike, and so the one cool thing is that some people actually thought that Greg was me in the movie! I did appear in the Hey Stoopid video, though
