I Was So Used To Doing Old

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.

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'll Always Leave The Same Set Of Strings On My Guitars When I'm Recording. If I Break One I'll Just Replace It Instead Of Putting On A Whole New Set Of Strings.

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.

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.
