More quotes by Eddie Van Halen
It's always a Catch-22 situation. They hate you if you're the same, and they hate you if you're different.
Eddie Van Halen
Sometimes I just want to lick David Lee Roth in the nuts

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 writing, and just doing the same thing I always do.

Some people think a song without words isn't a real song. Tell that to Beethoven and he'll kick your ass!
Eddie Van Halen
And if I would have taken lessons I probably wouldn't have done it, and what forced me to do all this weird stuff on the guitar was I couldn't afford effects pedals, I didn't have all this stuff when I was a kid so I just tried to squeeze all the weird noises I could out of the guitar, which brings me to building guitars.
Eddie Van Halen
When I was growing up and listening to bands like the Dave Clark Five, the groove was what initially got me going. I really like that funky, heavy groove.

Nirvana was huge, but it didn't appeal to everyone.
