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. ↗

I did some research and tried to pull out some old, classic Van Halen that they had not played in 10 or 15 years. I think that was Sammy's mistake. I he didn't want to do the Dave stuff. ↗

I had a solo career before Van Halen. My fan base filtered through Van Halen with me and came right on out the other side with me. ↗

It was fun while it lasted, but it never seemed real to me. I could not believe I was in Van Halen. ↗

The name Van Halen, the family legacy, is going to go on long after I'm gone. ↗

Dave thought he was bigger than Van Halen the band. So there was this catfight going on for 10 years. ↗

If I had had a chance to tour with Van Halen before the record, I think it would have been a different record. ↗

I liked a lot of the things other people liked - Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Van Halen, AC/DC - but if I compared it to my dad's music, there just seemed to be elements missing. ↗

David Lee Roth had the idea that if you covered a successful song, you were half way home. C'mon - Van Halen doing 'Dancing in the Streets'? It was stupid. I started feeling like I would rather bomb playing my own songs than be successful playing someone else's music. ↗
