How was the Bury The Hatchet tour? did Everyone getting along?

The Bury the Hatchet tour was amazing. Everyone got along, it was like a family reunion. All the bands would hang out and shoot the shit before and after the shows. Falling in Reverse ended up getting us good with a tour prank that involved 35 bags of packing peanuts in our tour bus. We were swimming in it. Hopefully there will be a Part 2 of the Bury The Hatchet tour in other countries so we can strike back at them. Haha.

What has been your favorite Tour to be apart of thus far in your touring career?

My favorite tour I've ever been apart of so far has been the 2011 Uproar tour. The line up was Avenged Sevenfold, Three Days Grace, Seether, Bullet for my Valentine, us and Black Tide. I have never seen A7X before that, and they totally blew me away. They are an amazing band, and treated everyone with respect. They definitely are a big inspiration for me.

What inspired you to start playing The Guitar?

Watching Jimi Hendrix on the Woodstock '69 movie inspired me to start playing guitar. I new from a very early age that I wanted to play, and fortunately my Dad got me one for my Birthday.

Who is your biggest Musical Inspiration?

This is a hard one. I've been influenced by so many artists over the years and draw inspiration from everything I listen to. Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan were strong musician inspirations early on. Then I got into 80s metal bands, and shredders. Paul Gilbert, Yngwie Malmsteen, Jason Becker, to name a few.
