The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Eddie Van Halen
- If you want to be a rock star or just be famous, then run down the street naked, you’ll make the news or something. But if you want music to be your livelihood, then play, play, play and play! And eventually you’ll get to where you want to be.
- It’s always about the music, never about anything else.
- A guitar is a very personal extension of the person playing it. You have to be emotionally and spiritually connected to your instrument. I’m very brutal on my instruments, but not all the time.
- The one thing I do have is good ears. I don’t mean perfect pitch, but ears for picking things up. I developed my ear through piano theory, but I never had a guitar lesson in my life, except from Eric Clapton off of records.
- We’re musicians. We make music for a living. It’s that simple. Nothing else matters.
- There are really three parts to the creative process. First there is inspiration, then there is the execution, and finally there is the release.
- It makes me feel kind of weird, but obviously the Man Upstairs gave me something and it touches people, and I’m just so blessed.
- I have selective hearing.
- It’s always a Catch-22 situation. They hate you if you’re the same, and they hate you if you’re different.
- Music is for people. The word ‘pop’ is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I’m just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I’m cool.
