David Lee Roth Had The Idea That

When I'm Home On A Break, I Lock Myself In My Room And Play Guitar. After Two Or Three Hours, I Start Getting Into This Total Meditation. It's A Feeling Few People Experience, And That's Usually When I Come Up With Weird Stuff. It Just Flows. I Can't Force Myself. I Don't Sit Down And Say I've Got To Practice.

We Make Music For A Living. Like I've Always Said, If You Like What You're Doing, You're Halfway There; If Someone Else Likes It, That's Even Better. If They Don't Like It, At Least You Like It. Not To Be Selfish, But You Kind Of Have To Be.

I'm Just A Normal Schmo Like Anyone Else.

I Mean It's Funny, Playing Music, How Of Course You Want It To Do Well, You Want Them To Like It, But It's Not Competitive Like An Election, It's The Olympics, It's Not A Formula 1 Race. The Billboard Charts Are Just To Show You What People Like.

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.
