Una volta ero lì con queste due ragazze; erano delle spogliatoie. Hanno detto "dave, vorremmo che tu salisse, noi due, con te". Quindi ho risposto "ok". Era angus, era caldo, sudato e umido, e abbiamo cominciato a consegnare la spesa a 138 battiti al minuto o più. Una delle ragazze aveva 1500 dollari in singoli, cinque e dieci, le sue mance di fine settimana e lo stipendio e tutto nel suo perizoma. Nessuno se ne è notato, sai, quando il perizoma si è sfilato -- bé, me ne sono notato -- nessuno si è notato dei soldi, tipo, che galleggiano in giro. Mi sveglio' verso l'alba, erano tutti e due dormiti, e tutti e tre eravamo ricoperti di soldi, ogni centimetro quadrato di pelle aveva una banconota da un dollaro incollata -- non c'era null'altro. Tutto il letto era coperto di banconote. I nostri corpi erano coperti di banconote. C'erano delle banconote nella mia biancheria intima. Fate una foto.' così inizia forse l'autobiografia rock definitiva. Per tutti gli anni settanta e ottanta i van halen sono stati l'archetipo del gruppo rock americano. Inoltre sono stati anche la band più pagata nella storia dello spettacolo, prendendo la bella cifra di 1 milione di dollari per una serata di lavoro a un festival nel 1983 e entrando nel guinness dei primati.

"If you're looking for an exacting history to the month, to the year, that's not how I remember it. This is not a recitation of what I did, you already know that I did it. This is why I did it or how it was done - nine and a half times out of ten times, being clearly not what you expected. Me neither." David Lee Roth
