Also, after being flippant throughout the whole article on the subjects of
practicing & performing ("I really don't do it [practice] anymore." & "I can
do this with my eyes shut. It's easy."), he ends the interview stating how,
in life, he now wants to "enjoy perfecting the talents, skills, & craft" that
he has.
I do enjoy his attitude, however, when he gives interviews to one of these
"guitar-tech" magazines:
Do you practice? No.
How do you warm up before shows? I don't.
Still getting a thrill onstage? No. It's a job.
And while we all know Pete probably isn't as pessimistic as his above comments
seem, his answers are still somehow refreshing.
