I had written lyrics to a song called The Silent Extreme, which Alex later renamed Humans Being.

I'd say it ["I Can't Drive 55"] has probably been the most successful song I've ever been involved with, including any Van Halen songs.

"Love Walks In," it was the same thing. That song is about aliens, by the way.

I'm the only choice to make a record. And that's the only way I would do it. We'd have to make some new music. The fans deserve it. Van Halen's got some of the best fans on the planet.

So many things can get you high, I'm gonna try them all just once before I die.

I would rather sing about my love affair or about a woman or to a woman than some guys any day.

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.
