It's part of our nature. As much as I love (brother and guitarist Eddie), if you put us in a room with no one else for 15 minutes, we'd be at each other's throats.

Yeah, but I don't think it was because of us. There was a lot of cocaine on the console-and it wasn't necessarily the band's. That was a problem. And we weren't allowed any input on the mix.

When the tour is done, that's the end of the U.S. tour. We'll regroup and see what we're going to do.

Everybody has a high point and a lot goes into that: timing, situation, general consciousness.

Van Halen is a work in progress.
