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
I just consider myself slightly left-of-center. I'm not your average bear. I - what's the word? I'm not - normal.

Eddie Van Halen
Every song is like a kid. How can you have that many kids and have a favorite? Which one do I like to hang most with?
Eddie Van Halen
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.
Eddie Van Halen
Best believe that needle hurt you Best to see these true colors Than follow one of your false virtues A little secret to make you think: Why is the crazy stuff we never say, poetry in ink?
Eddie Van Halen
Holdsworth is so damned good that I can't cop anything. I can't understand what he's doing. I've got to do this [does two-hand tapping], whereas he'll do it with one hand.
Eddie Van Halen
I took classical piano lessons from the age of five.
Eddie Van Halen
I'm writing, and just doing the same thing I always do.
Eddie Van Halen
Eventually you'll take the phrases and rhythm patterns you've copped and begin to put your own mark on them
Eddie Van Halen
I'm not a drunk anymore, but since they cut out my tongue, I sound drunk.
Eddie Van Halen
If I can help a kid discover a liking, or even a passion for music in their life, then that’s a wonderful thing.
