Eddie Van Halen Quotes

• I just like songs. I don’t mean to sound like a prick or nothin’, but I’ve never really been that much of a fan of bands outside of Cream. And I don’t really listen to anything nowadays. The last record I might’ve bought was Peter Gabriel’s So. With Cream, I was more a fan of their interaction live. You know, they were an example of “What’s the difference between jazz and rock & roll? We just play louder.” That’s all. We get 12 notes. Do what the fuck you want with ’em, you know???
