JOHN CORABI

Everybody that I've ever played with is awesome, and I've learned from all of them, so it's all good.

Everything happens for a reason. Like, I kind of hear people go, 'Man, you've been in a lot of bands.' Yes, I have. I've also been married several times, too, and every time I get into something, I think, 'This is the one.' I think that's just human nature.

A lot of people assumed I faded off into the sunset.

People laugh at my analogy in most cases - I go, 'Yeah, everything looks awesome on paper until you stick six guys in a submarine and go, 'Okay, go out and conquer America.''

Bands like - even Kiss to a degree - bands like Kiss and Motley, Ratt, Poison, Bon Jovi - I just think the days of those bands going out and selling ten or twelve, fifteen million records like they used to do back in the day, it's not happening.

My mother raised me to open the car door, open the door; if you take a woman out, you should pick up the check, and blah blah blah - whatever.

I'm a songwriter, and I'm more than just a screamer.

I love giving you my opinion, but I don't like taking sides.

Pretty much every record I've ever done, I can go back and listen to them and be proud. I'm proud of everything I've done.

I can do a documentary on myself, and it would be, like, 10 minutes.

I have a beautiful wife, I have two great kids, my career's still going, I've got my health. What can I ask for?

When I was in The Scream, I thought I'd be around for 30 years playing with The Scream guys. Who knew I was gonna get a call from Motley?

I had a great run with Ratt.

I love bands like Queen, Zeppelin, The Beatles.

I'm a huge Glenn Hughes fan.

Motley is a great band; they're a legendary band. They're probably going to go into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame at some point.

Looking at it half-full, there was only two singers in Motley, me and Vince, and I'm still here, 25 years later. And whether I like it or not, I'm the other singer for Motley Crue, and not to sound weird, but I've gotten a lot of extra mileage, I think, out of my career because of it, so I have nothing but positive things to say.

My son is my drummer.

I think the one that resonates the most with a lot of people is from The Scream album - 'Father, Mother, Son.'

I kind of look at things from a very common-sense point of view.

From a vocal standpoint, Glenn Hughes is just a god.

It doesn't bother me when someone is totally unaware of anything I've ever been in or done and says, 'Hey, man, I really like your music. I've never heard of you.' That doesn't bother me at all.

When I started doing the acoustic shows, people would be yelling for 'Hooligan's Holiday' and 'Smoke The Sky,' and I had no idea of how to pull them off.

The bands that do well don't get caught up in fads; they are just true to themselves.

With technology being the way that it is right now with Pro Tools and all that other stuff, more and more people are recording stuff at home and just utilizing Youtube and Facebook.
