When we started, a lot of bands sounded really different from one another.

As interesting as that music can occasionally be, I don't think it really replaces the other.

I pick up the New York Times or Time and it's talking about the latest rock group, which I'm sure is exciting to some people, but it neglects a huge area of music.

Few bands in hard rock history have been so adept at balancing the awesome and trivial as Van Halen in their prime.

In a lot of aspects it's cooler that we don't have a lot of really overly famous people in the band.

I do think that some bands seem to be dabbling in the rock-hip-hop world and are not necessarily serious about it.

Well, I think it's kind of interesting how the Osmond name has been really seen on both sides of the pendulum. There's obviously the bubblegum side, but for people who really know about music, it's clear on the other side. As a matter of fact, I find it quite ironic that Metallica used to cover 'Crazy Horses.' It was a cutting-edge album.

Skynyrd's not just a band; I think it's a lifestyle. It's iconic.

Rock Band is more like Stairmaster than it is like rock 'n' roll - it's the same steps with different degrees of difficulty.

I think Everclear is a weird combination of a singer-songwriter and a hard-rock band. That's why some people really dig the band, and some don't.
