It doesn't matter if people perceive me as being a little strange. I think overall, even when I am on stage, when people see me, I am setting an example.
You can hit your legs really hard, you can get very, very sore from training and I love that, but, the one I'd feel most on stage is legs. But, the thing that happens is once the adrenalin kicks in, that's the trigger.
The lights go down, you hear the applause and you're up there, and then everything else is forgotten.
The health industry, the fitness industry, was really starting to pick up. This was around the mid 80's.
Yeah, I came in at the end of the Notorious album, played on about five tracks and then we went on a tour. Then we did another album, Big Thing, and then we started writing songs together in 1989.
Yeah, about sixteen to twenty weeks a year. For example, we can do America in six or seven weeks. You can do Europe in three weeks; England in two weeks. South America you could do in three weeks; Asia you could do in three weeks.
Plus, we spend most of our time writing music. Most of the time is spent in the studio in my house.
It is a career that can be enhanced or destroyed by success.
I'm a product of good nutrition, cutting edge supplementation and hard training, and I'm an old guy.
I would never go to a gym. How could I do it? So I tried to do it in my house and it doesn't work.
I went from 118 pounds to 135 pounds in a few months. But, I still didn't know anything about food.
I thought, you know the food and the diet thing is one way to start yourself onto a healthy lifestyle, but if you don't move, if you don't start exercising you're gonna deteriorate.
I never used to drink water. I am drinking six liters of water every day now. That's the key.
I love the life of a musician but I live the life of a bodybuilder.
I have had shoulder injuries in the past, but usually it's from training.
