“When I was writing the music to The Master. I wanted to create what I called and iconic guitar riff that as soon as you heard it you went wow what a great riff. I called Scott Gregg (rhythm guitarist) at like 6 am in the morning and said hey get over to my house I got this great riff I am turned into a song. He came over and was like yeah I love it. Then I finished all the music to the song. I had a theme of addiction but had not named the song. At rehearsal Scott came up with the name The Master. TOM”
