"Music has a unique way of connecting to people on an emotional level, as the length of most songs is easily associated with activities associated with nostalgia. I want people to feel the music just as much as I want them to listen to it, so many of my favorite guitarists do that, like David Gilmore, Adam Jones, and James Hetfield."
