A lot of rock bands are truly a legend in their own minds.
He who knows how will always work for he who knows why.
I used to have a drug problem, now I make enough money.
I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass.
It doesn't get better, it doesn't get worse, but it sure gets different!
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it.
Music is like girlfriends to me; I'm continually astonished by the choices other people make.
People ask me how far I've come. And I tell them twelve feet: from the audience to the stage.
Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos.
The light you see at the end of the tunnel is the front of an oncoming train.
The problem with self-improvement is knowing when to quit.
The world's a stage, and I want the brightest spot.
When you get something like MTV, it's like regular television. You get it, and at first it's novel and brand new and then you watch every channel, every show. And then you become a little more selective and more selective, until ultimately... you wind up with a radio.
You stick your head above the crowd and attract attention and sometimes somebody will throw a rock at you. That's the territory. You buy the land, you get the Indians.

David describes himself as a unique blend of the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz, Bruce Lee, and The Rolling Stones.
Davis and Eddie Van Halen almost come to fist fight on the night of the MTV Awards show backstage. Davis found that he had been tricked into thinking that he was back in the band, in order to make a few songs with them, to market their new album. Eddie had secretly hired ex-Extreme front man Gary Cherone months earlier.
David became frustrated with the lack of album sales, and attempted to break into the Vegas show circuit in 1995.
David's band members started to drop out one by one, with each new album release. After 1988's Skyscraper and 1991's A Little Aint Enough, he was the lone original member left.
David issued his first full length solo effort Eat 'Em and Smile was a major hit accompanied by a sold-out tour.
David and Eddie started to publicly disagree about the direction Van Halen was taking. Tired of the drama, David left the band to embark on a solo career in late 1985.
David and the members of Mammoth decided to change their name to Van Halen, and they signed with Warner Bros. in 1977. They played the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, California, looking for their big break.
David followed his love for rock music into a few rock bands, most notably the Red Ball Jets as the lead singer. They played shows throughout the Pasadena area.
David was born in the farm community of Indiana, and spent his childhood commuting back and forth from the great outdoors to the bright lights of the big city. He lived part of the year with his famous uncle Manny Roth in Greenwich Village, living over the nightclub that he ran, the 'Cafe Wha?'. David was exposed to the greats at this nightclub, such as Bob Dylan, Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, and Peter, Paul and Mary.
His astrological sign is Libra.
