I don’t really know what inspires me to write the music I do, but usually, the music will set the tone for the lyrics.

Eddie Van Halen

I grew up on a lot of early Beatles, DC5, Cream, Clapton, Page, Beck and Hendrix.
EDDIE VAN HALEN

Early Growth Musician Myself
I never dreamt of being a musician for my livelihood. I certainly never would have wanted to be in the business that I’m in, meaning the fame and the glory, the glitter, the rock star, the famous part.

It’s all about sound. It’s that simple. Wireless is wireless, and it’s digital. Hopefully somewhere along the line somebody will add more ones to the zeros. When digital first started, I swear I could hear the gap between the ones and the zeros.

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

It’s always about the music, never about anything else.

The piano is a universal instrument. If you start there, learn your theory and how to read, you can go on to any other instrument.

There’s a plaque on our wall that says we’ve sold over 65 million albums, and I don’t feel I’ve accomplished anything. I feel like I’m just getting started.

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

Creative Execution Inspirational Release
I think Clapton is brilliant. He’s the only one who moved me. The only one who made me want to play the guitar.

The one thing I do have is good ears. I don’t mean perfect pitch, but ears for picking things up. I developed my ear through piano theory, but I never had a guitar lesson in my life, except from Eric Clapton off of records.

I’m blessed with a good pair of ears. That’s how I fooled my piano teacher. I’d watch his fingers and I’d listen to it, and I just kind of basically learned it by myself.

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

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.

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.
