It's part of our nature. As much as I love (brother and guitarist Eddie), if you put us in a room with no one else for 15 minutes, we'd be at each other's throats. |
Van Halen is a work in progress. |
The Beatles will never get back together and David Lee Roth will never again sing with Van Halen. |
There's nothing worse than having everybody thinking alike, talking alike and having the same direction in mind. It gets stale that way. |
Whatever our personal differences are, there are no bigger fans of this band than the people who are in this band. |
At our age, you don't want to stop. |
Yeah, we have our differences, but we put those aside, and now we're making music. It's great. |
When you leave the planet, you leave music behind. |
Nobody sets out to make a bad record. |
We're very needy people, you know. |
It's unfortunate nine years were in between - you can't take that time back; you can't undo it. |
You come to the planet with nothing and you leave with nothing, so you'd better do some good while you are here. |
Sammy and I got together and it was like we hadn't missed a beat. |
Everybody has a high point and a lot goes into that: timing, situation, general consciousness. |
Music is a dialogue. |
When the tour is done, that's the end of the U.S. tour. We'll regroup and see what we're going to do. |
You don't leave behind box office scores or how many dollars changed hands. |
There is a volatile mix, and that's because we're all intense. And there's no denying that. |
We're having a blast. Just four friends getting together. |
On a personal level, we all get along fine. |
