“I liked Eddie Van Halen, when he first came out, because he was doing ...” — Marky Ramone Quote

“I liked Eddie Van Halen, when he first came out, because he was doing something original.”

“A lot of bands think, 'We'll be original.' The Ramones did it because they couldn't do anything else.”

“Basically we would go to places and we would see bands trying to sound like us opening up for us, 1-2-3-4 with the leather jackets and the jeans and the Converse sneakers, which you see everywhere now. We were very grateful and happy that we were at least laying some sort of groundwork for bands that just wanted to play music.”

“The fact that Eddie Vedder likes to play 3 hour plus shows a night, I have to be ready for that.”

“I used to watch 'Coming to America' every day after school. I have full-on long-running inside jokes with friends and family about different scenes in that movie alone. Also, my brother and I loved 'The Golden Child,' so, yeah: I was a huge fan of Eddie Murphy growing up.”

“As the older brother, I was expected to make sure no one messed with Eddie when he went to the park. He didn't have to deal with anyone saying, 'I'll get you after school.'”
