HOLLYWOOD (Reuters) - They really said it -- notable quotes from the news:

"This is the bit where I don't know the words but I'm not gonna bother to really learn them before the end of the tour."

-- PAUL MCCARTNEY while performing the Beatles song "Carry That Weight" in Philadelphia, quoted in The Philadelphia Inquirer.

---------

"Predictability is the cardinal sin in our industry. In a time when a lot of tours go out with all of the excitement of a small soapdish, at least our tour carries the scent of rivalry."

-- former Van Halen vocalist DAVID LEE ROTH, on plans to tour with his replacement in the band, SAMMY HAGAR.

---------

"Those two guys fist-fight more than any two guys on the planet, but you try to come between 'em -- it doesn't work."

-- former Van Halen vocalist SAMMY HAGAR, on the band's siblings, EDDIE and ALEX VAN HALEN.

----------

"Destroy and rebuild a million apartments in 20 years!"

--French Presidential Candidate Jacques Chirac
