Bass Is For People Who

The Stainless-steel Frets Were A Major Breakthrough, Because Of The Amount Of Playing And Bending That I Do. I Have To Get My Guitars Refretted Every Couple Of Months.

Practice. I Used To Sit On The Edge Of My Bed With A Six-pack Of Tuborg. My Brother Would Go Out To Party And Get Laid, Come Home At 3am., And I Would Still Be Playing With Myself.

I Was Trying To Take The Band In A Direction That I Thought Was Appropriate, And Roth Was Trying To Take The Band In More Of A Las Vegas Direction. And There He Is.

I Played 'eruption' Two Times For The Record, And We Kept The One That Seemed To Flow ... There's A Mistake At The Top End Of It Whenever I Hear It, I Always Think, Man I Could've Played It Better ... But I Like The Way It Sounds. I'd Never Heard A Guitar Sound Like That Before.

When Van Halen Started Out, There Was No Path To Fame. We Just Played What We Liked. Even Today It Always Comes Down To The Simplicity Of Rock And Roll.
