“I was taking my time and living life and figuring out who I was making the first album. “People like to harken back to that era and compare it to today, but there's no comparison,” he said. In the interview he cited another example – that of the fact that he took several years to complete his debut album, while bands like Van Halen seemed to churn records out in their early years. Van Halen has previously discussed how he’s frequently criticized after being compared to his late father, Eddie. “s we did it, I just started singing the high harmony that I always hear at the beginning of the song – I didn't realize that they hadn't been doing that the whole time.” He added: “Afterward, Duff was like, ‘Oh, yeah, there’s harmony there, isn’t there? That sounds great, man!’ It was like, ‘Okay, I think this will be alright!’” “I didn't know that they wanted me to do backing vocals too,” he continued. He said he’d aimed to have the part “so ingrained” because they’d only have “one little soundcheck” to rehearse before the first performance. “There were moments where I only listened to the right side of the headphones to hear Izzy’s part, so I could play it literally perfect.” “I just holed up on the bus in any free time, and I learned just perfectly,” he told Consequence in a recent interview (video below).
