There's two types of guitarists. Like Blackmore, I used to hate, because I met him once at  the Rainbow with John Bonham when we were just playing clubs. You know, I grew up on him too, and I ran  over and said hello, and they both just looked at me and said, "Who are you? Fuck off." And it pissed me  off. And to this day I remember that. And then just recently Rainbow played at Long Beach Arena. This is  right after I won Best Guitarist [in the Guitar Player Reader's Poll], which I'm real honoured - makes  me feel good. I went down there, in a way, with a vengeance, you know. I just felt like saying, "Hey,  motherfucker, remember me? About three years ago, when you treated me like shit?" But I didn't. I just  said hello, and he knew me just through records and radio, and he complimented me.
