Hello
I heard yesterday about Johnny's demise and still I feel a little sick about it...so I wanted to hear what you have to say about it, since you always told in you interviews that he was one of your favs. I'm sure he did influence your playing style a lot.

This may be hard to believe, but no one has influenced me on guitar more than Johnny Ramone. When I play rhythm, the Ramones sound comes out. The Ramones have been such a huge part of my life, my friendships, my personality, that I don't even know where to begin on how sad I am that 3 of them have died, and so young.
