I had more of a vocal range. If you wanted to play a keyboard song, like "Love Walks In," I can do it.

I think all the bad blood started when Geffen released a greatest hits package of my solo stuff.

I've never met or spoken to David Lee Roth, yet it's rather ironic that even he's saying Eddie's lying about things. I'm saying he's not telling the truth, yet Eddie insists that the two of us are lying! You be the judge.

I was loud and electric at night, got all shook up with Elvis.

Overall, we had about 50 meetings where the brothers would say that I couldn't do any solo records, I couldn't write for other people, I couldn't do this and I couldn't do that. These guys were trying to nail my feet to the ground.

I didn't think I'd be around 30 years later

It's hard to say this about a guy like Eddie Van Halen, one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived, but he's really limited to a style and they're locked into it.
