You can tell the difference between songs that were created in a garage and songs that were created in the studio.
From Gary Cherone
They hated Sammy Hagar for 12 years and they hate him to this day.
When 5150 came out rock was king. Post Nirvana and Pearl Jam 1996 is a different story.
Dave thought he was bigger than Van Halen the band. So there was this catfight going on for 10 years.
There is nothing like singing a song that 20,000 people know and are singing back to you.
I have a little history. I met Stone Temple Pilots, and their guitar player was a huge Extreme fan. Somewhere down the road, Extreme made its statement.
In my writing with Extreme, there are heavy themes. The cover photo has me with a gun to my neck. I am not advocating suicide. I am taking the philosophy that man is the measure of his own fate.
I am a big Pink Floyd fan. That is where a lot of the concept lyrics come from.
I don't know if I have enough guts to do a whole standard jazz record.
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.
