In Van Halen there were moments, like in some of the ballads, I put my heart and soul into those records. Those lyrics when I sang 'em, I gave myself goosebumps.

You just went up and started playing, the audience got into it, and it was just a great high experience. That's what I kind of invented with "Mas Tequila" in Cabo.

I've always been into writing love songs.

All he cares about is going out there with his Jack Daniels bottle. Nothing has changed. That's kind of sad. If David was doing better than he used to be, then that would be different. But it was a joke and he made it that way.

Those are the magical songwriting moments, when you have a partner that clicks like that. That's a dream come true, man.

The good thing about breaking up is that you have nothing else to lose.

I really think that Van Halen has two choices if they want to continue. And maybe they don't want to continue, because they don't seem to do much.
