FAVORITE SONG:

“‘Becoming’ by Pantera. Whenever you get asked a question like that this, the answer is whatever comes to mind first. But it’s Pantera and [guitarist] Dimebag Darrell was my boy. It’s one of my favorite Pantera tunes.”

FAVORITE ALBUM:

“AC/DC live with Bon Scott, but I did see the movie Beyond The Thunder, and it seems like he would be a cool dude to party with!”

FAVORITE WEBSITE:

“Moreliapythons.com.Because I am a better snake breeder than I am a guitar player!”

FAVORITE TV SHOW:

“Family Guy. It’s just intelligent comedy. Some of it is so fast paced, I sometimes have to rewind and figure out why it’s so funny.”

FAVORITE MOVIE:

“Seven. It’s a real heady horror flick.”

FAVORITE FOOD:

“Blue Cheese crusted Filet Mignon. Because it’s delicious!”

FAVORITE RESTAURANT:

“St. Elmos in Indianapolis and Dickie Brennan in New Orleans. It’s fun when you are on tour to go a place you are familiar with in any given city. It’s like being home away form home.”

FAVORITE DRUG:

“I don’t do drugs, but I am the town drunk! Period.”

FAVORITE STORE:

“Best Buy. I heard recently they are downsizing and I got sad! I remember when Circuit City was around, I never understood why people would shop there. I always thought Best Buy had a better selection and cheaper prices.”

FAVORITE PET:

“My snakes. It’s a great pet to have if you’re a touring musician because they don’t need daily care.”

FAVORITE CELEBRITY:

“Ryan Reynolds. How can you go wrong with Van Wilder! Just watched it again last night.”

FAVORITE PIECE OF CLOTHING:

“Camouflage pants or shorts. I’m always wearing them. I think it started when I was on a charter fight with Pantera years back. I had a bottle of vodka in one pocket and a bottle of orange juice in the other. I was like a walking bar!”
