I Had A Solo Career Before Van

I'm A Songwriter. I've Got Ideas In The Closet That Just Didn't Work Out With My Band, That I Think, "this Is A Great Idea, It's Just The Wrong Guys."

When We Were On The Road, I Found Out That My Greatest Hits Album Went Gold. They Freaked Out. Things Really Came To A Head When We Started Arguing About A Van Halen Greatest Hits Package.

Those Are The Magical Songwriting Moments, When You Have A Partner That Clicks Like That. That's A Dream Come True, Man.

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.

Everything That Eddie Has Said About Me Is The Total Opposite Of What Really Happened. Eddie Says I Wanted To Be A Solo Artist. No, Eddie Wanted To Be A Solo Artist.
