I played 'Eruption' two times for the record, and we kept the one that seemed to flow ... there's a mistake at the top end of it whenever I hear it, I always think, Man I could've played it better ... but I like the way it sounds. I'd never heard a guitar sound like that before.

I think all musicians and producers, they know the real goal is to come up with a record that is entertaining and not boring, that's the goal. I think if everyone agrees that that's the goal then it doesn't matter who's the band and it doesn't matter who's the producer. It just means that that you try to realise the ambition no matter what the situation is or who the people are.

Traditionally, when we lived here in Portland, we have a record player in the living room, and there's lots of stuff playing, all different kinds of music.

Sammy Hagar Van Halen -
For us, we were a "live" band making music that was basically "live" music. There was no need for us to do it longer. We were ready to make a record. And we play and sing at the same time. We didn't do a lot of overdubs. Berton played his lead guitar part. We can play, that's the other thing. The band is actually fairly competent on their instruments.
