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.

Dave thought he was bigger than Van Halen the band. So there was this catfight going on for 10 years.

It was fun while it lasted, but it never seemed real to me. I could not believe I was in Van Halen.

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

Spitfire asked me if I had a problem talking about Van Halen or Extreme. I really don't. There are people who are just going to want to know what it was like to play with Eddie.

When I was in Van Halen I was hitting notes that were out of my range. I never went for those registers before until Eddie pulled it out of me.
