It wasn't until the fourth or fifth Van Halen record that people would go, 'Wow! You're singing backgrounds on those records. That's not David Lee Roth.' And I go, 'Hell, no! That's not David Lee Roth.'

The chemistry is everything in a band.
In my business, you could be making money one day, and the next day you could be serving up burgers at McDonald's. So if you want to be able to stay on top of your game, you've got to keep with it.
I always want harmony within the band. I want it to work.
It's an honor to be brought into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame and I'm going to show up if I'm invited, you know?!
Lead singers, they're their own breed.
The band changes one guy, sometimes the whole damn thing changes - look what happened when I joined Van Halen.
My best exercise is going on stage and playing, but I stay active. I don't just sit around on my butt all day and do nothing.
Everyone used to call me 'Mr. Switzerland.' I'm not the kind of guy who smack talks anybody or whatever.
Chad Smith is a member of Chickenfoot, and that's that.
You know, we're in this business to have fun and entertain.
I hate to exercise.
I always said to my wife, 'That's for sissies. Girls get facials.' The first time I tried it I said, 'Oh man, what the hell have I been missing all these years.' Let me tell you, I go in there for about an hour and a half, and the girl does my facial and also massages my neck and my arms.
Like music, cooking and more specifically, barbecuing is one of my greatest passions and my sauce is a celebration of these simple pleasures in life. I am thrilled to have my original BBQ sauces featured on Hard Rock's menu, as both embody the true meaning of rock 'n' roll flavor.
It always sucks to have to cancel a show because of illness, but unfortunately it sometimes happens.
