I was lucky. I played in lots of bands in my life.

Did Eddie Van Halen secretly want that too?

Having played in numerous bands in my life, I have learned a mountain of experience as a musician. I have played with some of the worst drummers and I have played with some of the best drummers. I have played with mediocre guitar players, and I have played with some amazing shredders. I have sung with many people in bands too. Most of them did pretty well. A few of them probably should have taken some kind of voice lessons. I was just happy that someone else decided to take that position in the band. When it came down to songwriters, I honestly can't think of anyone who sucked at writing their songs. Maybe there were a few that were probably better off being poets instead of songwriters, but most of them have been amazing.
