We didn't gel with Poison and the Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi was the best of the pop metal bands, but we never fit in with the hair metal stuff. We were never as hip as the Chili Peppers. We were in the middle.

If I had had a chance to tour with Van Halen before the record, I think it would have been a different record.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

If people get to the end of the record, then that is a treat.

We weren't One Hit Wonders. We had a few hits.

It was fun while it lasted, but it never seemed real to me. I could not believe I was in Van Halen.

Spitfire asked me if I had a problem talking about Van Halen or Extreme. I really don't. There are people who are just going to want to know what it was like to play with Eddie.

My favorite Extreme records were the last two. I can't listen to the first one.

Your woman pisses you off so that gets in there; that's rock n roll.

When 5150 came out rock was king. Post Nirvana and Pearl Jam 1996 is a different story.

You have Extreme and Van Halen and the history that I have with other people I played with. There are some effects that will hopefully break that stereotype.

When I was singing Jamie's Cryin', people were going out of their mind because it was the first time they got to see Eddie, Michael and Alex play those songs. That was a thrill.

They hated Sammy Hagar for 12 years and they hate him to this day.

Dave thought he was bigger than Van Halen the band. So there was this catfight going on for 10 years.

There is no substitute for jamming and getting to know each other on the road.

When I was in Van Halen I was hitting notes that were out of my range. I never went for those registers before until Eddie pulled it out of me.

In my writing with Extreme, there are heavy themes. The cover photo has me with a gun to my neck. I am not advocating suicide. I am taking the philosophy that man is the measure of his own fate.

I have a little history. I met Stone Temple Pilots, and their guitar player was a huge Extreme fan. Somewhere down the road, Extreme made its statement.

You can tell the difference between songs that were created in a garage and songs that were created in the studio.

We didn't gel with Poison and the Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi was the best of the pop metal bands, but we never fit in with the hair metal stuff. We were never as hip as the Chili Peppers. We were in the middle.

I did some research and tried to pull out some old, classic Van Halen that they had not played in 10 or 15 years. I think that was Sammy's mistake. I he didn't want to do the Dave stuff.

I don't know if I have enough guts to do a whole standard jazz record.

Whether I sound like Sammy or not is purely coincidence. You have got to hand it to him, he sings his ass off. There is no moss on that stone.

I have had success throughout the years. Some of the hard rock bands today don't have the history that I have.

I am a big Pink Floyd fan. That is where a lot of the concept lyrics come from.

Michael Anthony is the Diplomat of Rock N Roll. He is the regular guy.

I sing in a higher register, and you haven't heard that on the radio in years.

When people don't get enough information, they make it up.

The voices on the record, that was trying to treat my voice like guitar players treat guitar tones.

There is nothing like singing a song that 20,000 people know and are singing back to you.

I recorded my hair this morning, tonight I'm watching the highlights.

Hair is also a problem. I remember once, when I was reporting from Beirut at the height of the civil war, someone wrote in to the BBC complaining about my appearance.

I hated Chris, my brother. I would pull his hair and kick him, until one day my father gave him permission to fight back. I'll be apologizing to him for the rest of my life.

I really don't like when things are all polished and perfect - the perfect love story and the hair is perfect.

I dyed my hair blonde in that movie, so my head doesn't match my grill.

I like to sing in the car with the windows rolled down and hair blowing all over my face.

When I was 12, every little girl in Russia was trying to wear her hair like mine and playing tennis.

I have the biggest hair in the world - and that's official!

You know, I do not think it is necessarily looks, I do not think I am the prettiest girl... Everyone has something that is their asset, some have the hair, some have the cheekbones, others have the lips. But once you know what is your asset, then you should capitalize on it.

If you look over the years, the styles have changed - the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it's really the same.

Surely the fact that a uniformed police officer is wearing his hair below his collar will make him no less identifiable as a policeman.

I was going to buy a book on hair loss, but the pages kept falling out.

Martin Jarvis was to have played the part originally but I think I had longer hair or something, I know not.

It was just using the liquid shampoo - the Russians have one very similar to the stuff we use on the Shuttle - you just wet your hair with it and then wipe it out.

I've been burn when it comes to my hair that it ain't no joke.

I really fought to make my character not a stereotype. I play a soap star with dyed blonde hair.

I'm the artist formally known as Beck. I have a genius wig. When I put that wig on, then the true genius emerges. I don't have enough hair to be a genius. I think you have to have hair going everywhere.

I grew up in Dallas, with cowboys. I was the only guy in sixth grade with long hair and an earring. Let's just say I got a lot of, er, flak for being different.

My singing is part of me, like my stoutness, or my light hair, or my poor eyesight.
