I saw Van Halen at the Pinkpop festival in Holland in 1980. I never forget that show, great! I was 15 then.

Awesome thx!

Iommi thought he waa tuned to D but its C#

As a band, they sounded a lot better live with Sammy than they ever did with Dave.

Funny to hear all the beer cans being opened. Unless they were drinking Cokes..

sad that he didn't get the acclaim that he deserved. this dude is a monster guitarist.

Steve, I love this thanks! I have never heard AVH so open. BTW I just finished a pint of 31 Flavors (,peanut butter) ice cream as Al mentions 31 Flavors. Oh my!

I have headphones on. When the cat made the meow I totally freaked out and thought my cat was next to me. 😂😂😂😂😂

Saw him in concert with Ozzy in 94. Incredible.

Alex comes across as a jerk in this interview. He threatens to beat up DLR if he ever sees him in public. He calls Monk's wife a fat pig. He begrudgingly acknowledges that Monk bolstered their merchandise sales but he gripes about the crackdown on bootlegged t-shirts. Al was too drunk to plan the tour but he complains about the tour expenses after the fact.

Is that a metronome at the beginning?

wrong pic of Dave for this interview....

Great interview. Al seems. No.ego. and that's. Probly impossible IN show biz. It's says alot about his parents. N how he was raised

Where's the book Paete?

Man i wish i could go back to 85! 14 years old and 3 years into Van Halen, couldn't get enough, and so much music yet to be made by the brothers! 😢

…….and that’s when we fired Michael…..AGAIN!”

Thank you for this wonderful set of interviews with one of the best drummers on the globe: so thanks for sharing this awesome footage. It is very clear why they did not want to extend the contract with Noel Monk: I would never buy Monk's book because he always seemed too arrogant to me.And I can immagine what things were like for VH with him being the manager.Listening to Al telling about DLR: it is pretty much what Ed told in about the situation and you could almost touch Ed's relief when he left the band and Sammy took his place.Al said something about the difference between their music taste : he liked Def Leppard/Ozzie O. and of course he did, instead of DLR who likes Fred Astaire and it made me laugh out loud because he could not find better words to explain their differences 😂As said before, it was a lovely series of interviews with a lot of information ❤

Thank you for posting this interview, it is awesome footage. Very nice to listen to one of the best drummers talking. In this interview he talks about DLR who screwed Ed's girlfriend and I know this is very true: Roth never mentioned it, but back in time it was a reason why Ed felt betrayed. Listening to this interview you know Al's words are the only ones you can trust. I cannot wait to read the book of this EXIT BOHEMIAN😊

Gilford NH is pretty close-by. Lots of musicians, since then, have come to hit that venue but the mostly-quiet roads were/are definitely lucky to have Billy Gibbons on ‘em. Neat!!

I’ve never heard one person say anything bad about Michael…I know guys who opened for VH who said Edward and Michael were super cool

I can see both sides. Mike and Al never had the pressure of having to write music or lyrics, yet still got equal cut of the money. That had to grate on Ed and Dave after awhile. Of course Al had a free pass being Ed's brother. So that left Mike as the odd man out.

It's been a while since hearing the sounds of an eight ball after a gig. The 80s, bands, I really miss Eddie, so interesting with such a modest ego. How could that be 40yrs ago, makes me sad.

Sounded pretty stoned

ALEX AND EDWARD LODEWIJK VAN HALEN ARE THE BEST MUSIC SUCCESSES THAT CAME FROM HOLLAND AND WE ARE VERY PROUD ON THEM, SO I CAN SAY WE, HAVE THE BEST GUITARIST AND THE BEST DRUMMER OF THE WORLD, BECAUSE DAT ZO IS 100% TRUTH ! THANK YOU ED AND AL VAN HALEN ROCK GODS! AFZ.BOR777 EDWARD RIP FREND!!❤

I can’t find the 1986 Page interview. Btw, I remember reading this one when it first came out, I was 15.

Absolutely brilliant that we are able to hear this lost interview! Thanks Steve!

Ted and Derek St. Holmes were pretty badass also

Diamond Dave es un artista tan grande que es solo para pocos sin prejuicios acerca de VH , el cual tuvo que rearmar toda su carrera y poner todo de el solo, es algo mucho mas difícil que la carrera que dejo con VH al entrar Sammy ya tenia todo armado , Dave fue solo e hizo lo que quizo y recluto a los mejores de la escena, que después de Vai allá llamado Jason Becker y lo allá mostrado al mundo es un aporte a la cultura a nivel mundial.. hay que mostrar esto como ejemplo de que solo uno vale mucho y hay que poner todo en lo que uno proyecta , vaya mal o bien, entregar todo

Edward Van Halen proved that inexpensive instruments work just as well as expensive ones as long as they tuned and stay tuned you don't need to spend $3,000 on a guitar 150 bucks will do

Thanks!

Eddie& alex were POWERTRIPPIN DRAMA QUEENS.THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED SATRIANI& BONHAM TEARIN IT UP WITH MICHAEL& SAMMY😆🤣💪👊💪👊💪

Love this stuff Steve!

Wayne never heard about wax potting pickups? Fender had been doing it since 1949.

We love Ted! Steve is a saint and thank God he got this book out before father time. Great job Steve!

Reading this part in the book right now, where Ed walks in and starts disassembling Steve's Strat. So hilarious and just so Edward. Fun to read it, then actually listen to it as well. Gawd dang Steve, you were exalted and extremely lucky and also blessed to have experienced this with Ed in the beginning times. He chose you to speak with. You were in the presence of a God. Wow.

Lots of orders from NAMM Show 1979

Interesting talking about mystique of VH and Wayne bringing up Elvis. Peter Grant did the EXACT same thing with Zep as far as TV exposure etc. Jack Nicholson did the same in his genre. Bever did interviews on tv. Great call by Wayne here. 23:40

But Eddie! I think you found the tone, I think you found it and then some.😮😢😂😅😊

Steve did you manage to get an interview with Floyd Rose?that would be a cool interview as well.

The thing about the tremolo on the strats that come with them the 6 screw, if you set them up right they don't go out of tune. I have a Squier Affinity that I put a brass Block in and a brass nut some hot pickups a switch to make a 7-way instead of a 5-way and that puppy does not go out of tune. it plays great all the time set it down pick it up the next day still in tune.

sad :(

Private Eyes yes, the story about Bolin playing and Ritchie in the audience is amazing.

Fantastic interview Steve! Wayne is a classic, love the Deep Purple stories, Blackmore AND Bolin! Seems like such a cool dude.

The people around Eddie ruined him......not the first time

Thanks Mr. Steve!
