Overall, we had about 50 meetings where the brothers would say that I couldn't do any solo records, I couldn't write for other people, I couldn't do this and I couldn't do that. These guys were trying to nail my feet to the ground.

I had a solo career before Van Halen. My fan base filtered through Van Halen with me and came right on out the other side with me.
