"There is a volatile mix, and that's because we're all intense. And there's no denying that"

This quote by Alex Van Halen talks to the intensity of the relationships in between the members of the band Van Halen. He acknowledges that the mix of personalities in the band is unpredictable, and that this is because of the intensity of each individual. He does not reject that this strength is present, but rather acknowledges it and recommends that it is a consider the band's success. This intensity is likely what drives the band to develop the music they do, and it is likely what has kept them together for so long. It is a testament to the strength of their relationships that they have had the ability to maintain such an unpredictable mix of characters and still create excellent music.
