iRock Radio conducted an interview with BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE guitarist Michael "Padge" Paget at this year's Rock On The Range festival, which was held earlier in the month in Columbus, Ohio. You can now watch the chat below. Asked who his biggest inspiration was that made him want to become a musician, Paget said: "I think it was [late PANTERA guitarist] Dimebag [Darrell Abbott], being a guitar player.
