Few bands in hard rock history have been so adept at balancing the awesome and trivial as Van Halen in their prime.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's hard to say this about a guy like Eddie Van Halen, one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived, but he's really limited to a style and they're locked into it.
If I had had a chance to tour with Van Halen before the record, I think it would have been a different 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.
I believe that the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin are two of the greatest rock bands ever!
I have had success throughout the years. Some of the hard rock bands today don't have the history that I have.
That's really the thing that got me into playing a lot - getting excited about playing along with my favorite bands like Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.
A lot of rock bands are truly a legend in their own minds.
I've heard my share of Van Halen. I never liked rock.
Van Halen is a work in progress.
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.
