    • Trivia
      Guitarist and main songwriter for rock band Cheap Trick.
    • Quotes
      I'm a really normal guy. You know our song, the one that goes, 'It wasn't easy, it was hard as hell ... Never worked so hard, had so much pain.' That's really what Cheap Trick is all about: Work hard, keep trying.
