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.

We weren't One Hit Wonders. We had a few hits.

If I had had a chance to tour with Van Halen before the record, I think it would have been a different record.

I have a little history. I met Stone Temple Pilots, and their guitar player was a huge Extreme fan. Somewhere down the road, Extreme made its statement.

You can tell the difference between songs that were created in a garage and songs that were created in the studio.

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

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