Van Halen is a work in progress.

Theres nothing worse than having everybody thinking alike, talking alike and having the same direction in mind. It gets stale that way.

Everybody has a high point and a lot goes into that: timing, situation, general consciousness.

Nobody sets out to make a bad record.

I look at Van Halen as social workers. What we're really doing is creating jobs for rock critics.

The Beatles will never get back together and David Lee Roth will never again sing with Van Halen.

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.
