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

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

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

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