A Good Producer Brings Out The Best

Rock Stars Come And Go. Musicians Play Until They Die.

If Your Going To Learn To Play Lead Guitar, Get An Electric Guitar .. It Doesn't Have To Be An Expensive One .. Acoustic Guitars Aren't Good For Learning Lead, Because You Can't Play Up Very High On The Neck And They Take Heavier-gauge Strings Which Makes It Hard To Bend Notes

When Van Halen Started Out, There Was No Path To Fame. We Just Played What We Liked. Even Today It Always Comes Down To The Simplicity Of Rock And Roll.

We Make Music For A Living. Like I've Always Said, If You Like What You're Doing, You're Halfway There; If Someone Else Likes It, That's Even Better. If They Don't Like It, At Least You Like It. Not To Be Selfish, But You Kind Of Have To Be.

It Comes Back To The Same Old Question People Are Always Asking Me: 'when Are You Going To Do A Solo Record?' Well, If I Did, It Would Probably Be Similar To 'baluchitherium,' Meaning It Would Be Van Halen Music - Which I Write Anyway - But Without Singing.
