Gary Cherone Quotations

I did some research and tried to pull out some old, classic Van Halen that they had not played in 10 or 15 years. I think that was Sammy's mistake. I he didn't want to do the Dave stuff.

I could see the tension between Sam and Dave. Sammy had a career before Hagar and people hated him out of their loyalty to Dave.

My favorite Extreme records were the last two. I can't listen to the first one.

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

When people don't get enough information, they make it up.

When 5150 came out rock was king. Post Nirvana and Pearl Jam 1996 is a different story.

You have Extreme and Van Halen and the history that I have with other people I played with. There are some effects that will hopefully break that stereotype.

We weren't One Hit Wonders. We had a few hits.

In my writing with Extreme, there are heavy themes. The cover photo has me with a gun to my neck. I am not advocating suicide. I am taking the philosophy that man is the measure of his own fate.

If people get to the end of the record, then that is a treat.
