I Feel It's Such A Tragic Thing [kurt Cobain's Suicide]. Here Is A Guy, A Young Guy, That Had Everything In His Hands. He Could Have Had A Great Life. He Had A Wife, He Had A Child, He Had A Fantastic Career. He Was Important To A Generation. And For Him To Do That - I Didn't Like That. I Thought That Was Just Wrong.

When I Left Van Halen, I Went In The Studio And Made A Cd Called Marching To Mars With All Studio Musicians. I Did It Immediately. With The Disappointment Riding On My Shoulders Of The Breakup Of The Band.

I Had Been Reading This Book About Zen Koan Philosophy, And It Was Talking About The Right Here And The Right Now, And How Important It Is, And I Was Really Trying To Get There In My Life.

Dave Was Great In Van Halen. No Question About It. He Was One Of The Best At Being Mr. Rock Star. But It's Sickening To See A Guy Still Trying To Be That With A Wig On 20 Years Later.

The Reason My Voice Is Sounding More Passionate Is Because I'm Singing Directly From The Heart.
