You've only got 12 notes and however you mix them up is your thing.

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.

Eddie Van Halen 106 quotes

If you want to be a rock star ...

If you want to be a rock star or just be famous, then run down the street naked, you'll make the news or something. But if you want music to be your livelihood, then play, play, play and play! And eventually you'll get to where you want to be.

Eddie Van Halen 106 quotes

Music is for people. The word ...

Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool.

It's funny, when bands or younger musicians ask me: 'So, what does it take to make it?' Well, first explain to me what you mean by 'making it': Do you want to be a rock star or do you want music to be your livelihood?

Eddie Van Halen 106 quotes

We're musicians. We make music...

We're musicians. We make music for a living. It's that simple. Nothing else matters.

It's always a Catch-22 situation. They hate you if you're the same, and they hate you if you're different.

A guitar is a very personal extension of the person playing it. You have to be emotionally and spiritually connected to your instrument. I'm very brutal on my instruments, but not all the time.

I've had a hip replacement, I've beaten cancer, I had my hand operation, and I stopped drinking. Something inside of me just went, 'I'm done.'

If I can help a kid discover a liking, or even a passion for music in their life, then that's a wonderful thing.

I just consider myself slightly left-of-center. I'm not your average bear. I - what's the word? I'm not - normal.

I'm not a drunk anymore, but since they cut out my tongue, I sound drunk.

There are really three parts to the creative process. First there is inspiration, then there is the execution, and finally there is the release.

Eddie Van Halen 106 quotes

I don't feel a day older when it comes to my approach to music or what gets me off than when I was a teenager. I've always been into different kinds of stuff and when I play I like to play loud. I like my arm hairs to move and I like my body to vibrate 'cause I like the feel of it; I'm still a teenager at heart.

Eddie Van Halen 106 quotes

On 'Van Halen,' I was a young punk, and everything revolved around the fastest kid in town, gunslinger attitude. But I'd say that at the time of 'Fair Warning,' I started concentrating more on songwriting. But I guess in most people's minds I'm just a gunslinger.

Music kept me off the streets and out of trouble and gave me something that was mine that no one could take away from me.

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.

Every song is like a kid. How can you have that many kids and have a favorite? Which one do I like to hang most with?
