I think there are some good players coming up. I think we are at a point where people can swallow a guitar solo in a pop rock record again.

I have had success throughout the years. Some of the hard rock bands today don't have the history that I have.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

If people get to the end of the record, then that is a treat.

It was fun while it lasted, but it never seemed real to me. I could not believe I was in Van Halen.

The voices on the record, that was trying to treat my voice like guitar players treat guitar tones.

There is nothing like singing a song that 20,000 people know and are singing back to you.
