almost far genres good knows music obsession relate side songs type universal
I've been through almost every type of obsession as far as music genres go, so I usually say I just like a good song, but the songs that are the most universal that a person on the other side of the world knows and can relate to is a very powerful entity.
albums far inspired jam pearl
'Ten' by Pearl Jam is still by far one of my favorite albums and is a big part of what inspired me to learn guitar.
al guitar kurt mercury mostly nirvana players queen several studied
I've studied several guitar players and songwriters, mostly from Al di Meola to Dimebag Darrell, from Freddie Mercury of Queen to Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and Bradley Nowell of Sublime.
alice cover great hear led
Every day, I hear a song and I think, 'This would be great to cover on Glee.' I like Led Zeppelin, of course, and Pink Floyd, Alice in Chains.
coldplay cover rely share songs sure woo
I don't usually try to rely on songs to woo a girl, but I think Coldplay can get a girl in the mood... or make her cry, one or the other. I used to play in cover bands; we sure did our fair share of Coldplay. I like 'Viva La Vida.'
document influences inspired people
I've had so many different influences musically, even from people who aren't even musicians. If you're inspired by someone and you document it musically, then they are your influence.
aware great people viewers
It's great that 'Glee' is making viewers more aware of the arts. People appreciate it.
time tv work
You don't really have time to watch TV if you work on TV.
saw
I saw the film 'Amadeus' from when I was five, which made me want to take piano lessons.
believe might people
Hollywood is a small town, believe it or not. I see the same people over and over, so it's not that overwhelming or crazy as you might think.
life music
Playing music was always a part of my life; I don't know anything else.
embracing good telling underlying
Glee's good because it tackles the issues by embracing what's different, and telling people, 'That's what makes you special' - I think that's the underlying thing.
bad boys changing girls
Some girls go for bad boys because they like the challenge of changing them - which is usually unrealistic.
alice chains episode greats inch love miles nineties stuff
I love nineties stuff like Alice in Chains and Nine Inch Nails. It'd be my dream to have a Radiohead-themed episode of 'Glee.' I also love jazz greats like Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Herbie Hancock.
