Favorite place: On stage! I recently got to play with those amazing fuckers in Incursion at Diamonds. It had been so long since I had gotten to really get down to music like that. That's the best I'd felt on stage in a really long time.

Favorite sports or team: Kentucky Wildcats or whoever is playing Louisville…. Sorry Donnie ;)

What I'm listening to nowadays: Louisville boys ARTIFEX PEREO!!!! Pick up this record…. You will not regret it!

Coolest thing I've done: I've done soooo many cool things at this point. Skydiving, Playing in front of 15,000 + people, countless tours, Sturgis trip…. All that stuff was awesome, but creating and raising my kids has by far been the coolest thing I've ever done.

Most embarrassing moment: I was running a service truck for awhile. I got a call to Horseshoe Casino to work on a broken-down Budget rental truck. Turns out, it was for Dwight Yokam! I was out there getting this thing fixed and he came out of the tour bus next to me. I noticed him and yelled "There ain't no god damned band, Randy! You tunin son of a bitch!" You know, from "Sling Blade"? Anyway, He gave me this look like I was the biggest idiot ever, shook his head and walked off….. One of his crew members came up to me and said "He really hates that…"

Bad Habits: Overbooking myself!!! I just love to play, though!!!!

What was your first concert: Foreigner at Cardinal Stadium. It was cool as shit! I was probably 6 years old.

If you could meet a Rockstar (past or present), who would it be and why: I would want to meet Dimebag and get wasted with him! He just seemed so freaking cool. I know a bunch of people that got that privilege and thoroughly enjoyed it! He had a heart of gold and was probably one of the most spirited musicians I had ever seen.

2Who do you love: I love my wife Jessica, my kids Avery and Camden. Without them I am dead weight. I love my parents, siblings, my aunts and uncles and cousins. I especially love my friends. All of my former band mates and current band mates. Those guys are the reason I am even getting featured. I learned so much from all of them and wouldn't trade any of the moments I ever had, good or bad, with any of them!
