At a magazine interview with Brian May, on the release of Brian’s solo album ‘Back To The Light’


One of my first ‘big’ interviews for Guitarist. I’m smiling
because I’d just joked to Joe, ‘You’ve no idea what this will
do for my reputation…’ and he’d replied, ‘Or mine…'


We took Frank Zappa’s son Dweezil shopping for an article in Guitarist magazine - it was actually a great day!


Wilde Thing! Depping for regular Marty Wilde guitarist Neville Marten at Butlins, Minehead in 1993.
The only time I’ve ever worn a suit on stage…


This pic was published in Guitarist magazine, the original caption read: ‘Steve Vai with a small spiky fruit - oh, and a pineapple…’ Thanks, guys


With Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme, just before they self-destructed - a shame, I thought they were a great band


With Mark Knopfler, Air Studios, London 1995. Mark actually interrupted a Three Tenors session in Studio One just to show me the stained glass!
