When we were on the road, I found out that my greatest hits album went Gold. They freaked out. Things really came to a head when we started arguing about a Van Halen greatest hits package.

Sammy Hagar

I had a solo career before Van Halen. My fan base filtered through Van Halen with me and came right on out the other side with me.

It comes back to the same old question people are always asking me: 'When are you going to do a solo record?' Well, if I did, it would probably be similar to 'Baluchitherium,' meaning it would be Van Halen music - which I write anyway - but without singing.

Eddie Van Halen

I think all the bad blood started when Geffen released a greatest hits package of my solo stuff.

Sammy Hagar

My heroes were Eddie Van Halen - especially after Van Halen I, II, III, and IV - Randy Rhoads, Ace Frehley and dudes like that. My brother played drums and we jammed in the garage and started writing our own stuff.

Dimebag Darrell

Why would I have quit Van Halen? It never happened.

Michael Anthony

As the great philosopher George Santayana would have said, 'those who cannot remember the past . . . should simply read Jan Van Meter's Tippecanoe and Tyler Too.' Van Meter's greatest hits collection of slogans is the catchiest ever retelling of American history. It's like the greatest minds of Madison Avenue sat down to write a history book. They don't make sound bites like they used to!

Mo Rocca

Without a doubt, Eddie Van Halen is the greatest guitar player who has ever lived.

Zakk Wylde

Van Halen was a huge influence on me, and 'Eruption' was the song that really leaped off that first Van Halen album.

Dimebag Darrell

I do remember being a kid and hearing Van Halen. My dad was always playing Van Halen in the car.

Nita Strauss

I would never have ever dreamed that I would get married again and then all of a sudden you meet somebody. That's the thing about life. It can be so unexpected.

Gordon Lightfoot

At some point I decided I didn't want to learn any more guitar technique. I was at that level where the next mountain there was to climb was Van Halen and I didn't really like Van Halen.

Rostam Batmanglij

I never dreamed I would coach at UCLA. It was not one of those things in my coaching career I thought would happen. It's a tremendous blessing, and I'm going to make the most of it.

Steve Alford

That song ["Don't Tell Me"] didn't take us anywhere, and I know why now. It wasn't what Van Halen fans wanted. It showed the darkness of Van Halen, and basically the end of the band.

Sammy Hagar

I would have never ever dreamed of my career playing out the way it did.
