What made you decide to play the instrument you play? Spontaneous decision when I was 12 or 13 years old. A bunch of us decided we needed for form a metal band, even though none of us had ever even touched a rock-related instrument. A couple years later I got together with Kev, and he told me I was now a lead guitarist, by way of him not wanting to learn to solo.
