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

When people don't get enough information, they make it up.

I sing in a higher register, and you haven't heard that on the radio in years.

When I was in Van Halen I was hitting notes that were out of my range. I never went for those registers before until Eddie pulled it out of me.

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

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

In my writing with Extreme, there are heavy themes. The cover photo has me with a gun to my neck. I am not advocating suicide. I am taking the philosophy that man is the measure of his own fate.
