What are the differences playing with Whitesnake compared to the previous bands youve been in?
Well, its my first true headlining band. You just get treated a little better when youre a headliner. Its like when you go to the bank and you have a lot of money in there. The tellers seem to treat you better. My father always checked into hotels and made reservations at restaurants under Dr. Beach. He said the difference was uncanny. Better service all around. Playing with Tommy is a big thrill. He is a legend and still plays exactly the same way he did 20 years ago. He is in my top five best rock drummers. Marco and I have a thing on stage where we just mess with each other all night. We see how low we can get to the ground when we are jamming and point stuff out to each other and laugh a lot. Kip and I had a similar thing. He would punch me in the arm right before the solo. It hurt.
