I heard recently that you've done some work on the new Tourniquet album, as well as some work with Ken Tamplin, another Christian artist. My first question is have you, yourself become a Christian? If yes, did that have something to do with your decision to leave Megadeth. If no, what why did you choose to contribute to these artists' albums?

I have friends of all races, religions and shoe sizes. You are putting too much thought into the issue. It`s just rock and roll...
