I Have Selective Hearing.

A Guitar Is Just Theoretically Built Wrong. Each String Is An Interval Of Fourths, And Then The B String Is Off. Theoretically, That's Not Right, All The Strings Should Be Off.

Actually, If I Could Deliberately Sit Down And Write A Pop Hit, All My Songs Would Be Pop Hits! Let's Put It This Way. I Play What I Like To Hear. And Sometimes I Like To Hear Something Poppy, And Sometimes I Don't.

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.

I'm Just A Guitarist In A Kick-ass Rock And Roll Band. What More Could I Ask For?

Before The Operation On My Left Hand I Wasn't Able To Stretch My Fingers Open All The Way. I've Never Had Very Big Hands, But I Could Do The Splits With Them. Eventually I Couldn't Any More. I Had A Twisted Tendon In My Little Finger That Prevented Me From Being Able To Stretch.
