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. ↗

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. ↗
