Everclear lead singer's VH comments

In the latest Metal Edge,

There is an article on Everclear and an interview with the singer (not sure of his name) and the reporter asks him about a song on their newest album called "rock stars" and which asks if that was Van Halen at the intro.

Answer:
YES, that was "everybody wants some".

He also said that he grew up listening to VH albums 1-4 (VH1-Fair Warning), and that he thought 1 & 4 were their best albums.

Cool to see other newer groups acknowledging Van Halen as an influence.

For some reason I have always liked Everclear because they do their own thing, not what others think they should do. Now I have another reason.

Everclear rules! I recently interviewed Greg Eklund the drummer over the phone for the school paper and he was an extremely cool guy. We chatted about VH briefly. I also caught them at HSBC Arena last week with Matchbox 20. They blew Matchbox 20 away!

Everyone can blow Matchbox20 off the stage.

I love Everclear. That's a cool song, though I never picked up on the connection to EWS.

Hey, this is cool to hear! Classic rock rules, but as far as new music goes, I TOTALLY dig Everclear.

"So Much For The Afterglow" is one of my favorite albums. I think Art Alexakis has some musical genius in him.
