More From Eddie Van Halen

Cool is spent. cool is empty. cool is ex post facto. when advertisers and pundits hoard a word, you know it's time to retire from it. to move on. i want to suggest, therefore, that we begin to avoid cool now. cool is a trick to get you to buy garments made by sweatshop laborers in third world countries. cool is the triumph of the will. cool enables you to step over bodies. cool enables you to look the other way. cool makes you functional, eager for routine distraction, passive, doped, stupid.

Obviously you have to have rhythm. if you have rhythm, then you can play anything you need. if you have rhythm and you love music, then play and play and play until you get to where you want to get. if you can pay the rent, great. if you can't, then you'd better be having fun.

The blues appealed to me, but so did rock. the early rockabilly guitarists like cliff gallup and scotty moore were just as important to me as the blues guitarists.

I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."

I was 16 when i came to new york. i had graduated to a tenor banjo in the school jazz band, and it was kind of boring - just chords, chords, chords. then my father took me to a mountain music and dance festival in asheville, north carolina, and there i saw relatively uneducated people playing great music by ear.

The rhythm is below me, the rhythm of the heat. the rhythm is around me, the rhythm has control. the rhythm is inside me, the rhythm has my soul.

Similar Quotes

It's not about knowing who you are. it's about thinkin you got there without takin anything with you. your notions about startin over. or anybody's. you dont start over. that's what it's about. every step you take is forever. you can't make it go away. none of it.

Art belongs to all times and to all countries; its special benefit is precisely to be still living when everything else seems dying; that is why providence shields it from too personal or too general passions, and grants it a patient and persevering organization, durable sensibility, and the contemplative sense in which lies invincible faith.

Women i know are smart, educated, intelligent, capable of doing anything that anybody else can do.

I was given the gifts of the artist, and the trouble that goes with them: so i have that blessing, and there was never a time thati questioned it or doubted it.... for forty years, i wanted to jump out of windows.
