Ruth Montgomery had a book I was reading called Aliens Among Us. She was an automatic writer. She used to go into a trance, and she would just start typing information, and then she would come out of her trance and read it and go, "Wow," and that was just the way she wrote her books.
We always sold 4 or 5 million records no matter what we did.
While I was in Montrose, the publishing checks went into the band's coffers. This was our management's decision; we were just financing ourselves on the road.
I was kind of always attracted to red. I used to wear red socks a lot for some crazy reason.
I'm still raising kids myself, so I don't feel like a grandpa
If you have a higher reason ... than just to make money... it will bring you longer fulfillment. And it won't feel like work.
The reason my voice is sounding more passionate is because I'm singing directly from the heart.
If I would go up on a high note, Eddie would want a low one. That's how petty the situation had become.
It's a good thing I don't read everything Eddie says, or I'd be up in arms and not enjoying my life.
All he cares about is going out there with his Jack Daniels bottle. Nothing has changed. That's kind of sad. If David was doing better than he used to be, then that would be different. But it was a joke and he made it that way.
After I had my dream, I got into numerology. Like my buddy's name is Bill, and I would say, "B is a two, and each I is a nine, and the L's are fours. And that's eight." I would figure out everybody's numerological single-digit number.
I don't want to talk about negative, dark things. The only thing I've got against stuff like Marilyn Manson is, they make unbelievable videos and unbelievable images.
I wasn't writing the music. Ed would write a piece of music. I'd listen to it and come up with a melody and then we would arrange it. We'd put it together and I would write lyrics to my melodies.
I've never met or spoken to David Lee Roth, yet it's rather ironic that even he's saying Eddie's lying about things. I'm saying he's not telling the truth, yet Eddie insists that the two of us are lying! You be the judge.
