When I was in Van Halen I was hitting notes that were out of my range. I never went for those registers before until Eddie pulled it out of me.

I have a little history. I met Stone Temple Pilots, and their guitar player was a huge Extreme fan. Somewhere down the road, Extreme made its statement.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

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

I felt that what is personal is political.

My life will always have dirty dishes. If this sink can become a place of contemplation, let me learn constancy here.

Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God.

Computer modelling for weather forecasting, and indeed for climate forecasting, has reached its limits.
