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

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

When 5150 came out rock was king. Post Nirvana and Pearl Jam 1996 is a different story.

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

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

You have Extreme and Van Halen and the history that I have with other people I played with. There are some effects that will hopefully break that stereotype.

I don't know if I have enough guts to do a whole standard jazz record.
