Eddie's music means so much to me. When I was very ill.a few years ago, I was in a coma. The doctor knew I was a huge VH fan. So to help bring me out of it, they played their music for me pretty much around the clock. R.I.P. Ed. ❤️🎸
Great interview! What she said about cancer being a beast is so true. I was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer in 2018, after months of chemo, radiation and immunotherapy I was lucky enough to have my cancer go in remission. A day does not go by where I don't think about it coming back, it's like a sleeping giant that's going to live inside of me probably until the day I die. Until then, I'm going to live my life like I never have before.
Most Cancers in the body will heal naturally. . . the Criminal Medical Community knows this, that's why they are so quick to Radiate anything they see because they Know Radiation makes Cancer Spread. It's a TRILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY. Today's Doctors should be strung up and Hung from the nearest Tree. Cancer was CURED in the 1920's.....Cancer can ONLY LIVE in an Acidic Environment.......... anyone who Reads and researches for Truth, know this Fact.
I was fortunate enough to meet and talk with Eddie during their first tour stop to my hometown with Sammy on vocals. A very long story that I won't bore anyone here with. But, let me just attest from my own personal experience that everything you ever read about how down to earth Eddie was is absolutely true. A 10- minute chat that happened 35 years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday.
Mark, dude, brother, for the love of God, bore us, please! lol Undoubtedly quite a few other EVH fans would love to hear about your time with him. That's great stuff.
@@ronaldshumaker5217 That's awesome Ron. Can tell by the way you worded that some thanks to you for being his friend are in order. A lot of artists have trouble getting genuine people without agendas around them, so most certainly, Ed undoubtedly appreciated you a lot.
Think how many thousands of times he was burdened doing this, the same suspect questions ,time after ring time, sheesh....I'm surprised he didn't blow his brains out
I am glad Ed had people like this he could count on in his life...and I'm glad he got the privacy he surely cherished. this interview was very respectful.
@@AuntAlnico4 1) she waited to tell HER story after he passed - entire story is of her experience not his 2) despite intimate knowledge she made sure not to divulge details and was respectful of him - she is very clearly within her rights and respected his rights. If you have nothing nice to say: why spout off on the internet? You clearly are a miserable person. Sad:(
@@AuntAlnico4 ummm, let's do the math, shall we. Yes, let's. Top rated comment on beloved towering king in the music world. First reply, snark from a hapless misguided Karen on high. You are hereby sentenced to listening to alternate Slayer and Wham! songs while mastering air guitar, heavy metal hurdle jumps and stage run knee skids to every EVH solo known to recorded history until you repent, and grace this happy forum of EVH fans with nothing but kind thoughts for the master and his caretakers. Now go and do your time with joy in your heart and a lit cigarette tucked under the strings of a Kramer headstock. Return when your attitude has improved and you can perform flawless spinning air kicks in sequined pants while wearing a bandana.

MARIANNE YOU ROCK!! YOU ARE AN AMAZING PROFESSIONAL, AND I'M SURE ED APPRECIATED YOUR HELP. I'M FROM GRAND RAPIDS AND I WANT TO TELL THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE THE BEST, BECAUSE YOU WORK WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST AS DEDICATED AS YOU ARE!!! THANKS FOR SHARING THIS BEAUTIFUL STORY!! TOO BAD HE NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO GO BACK OUT AND DO THE "KITCHEN SINK" TOUR, YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN EVERYONE THAT WAS EVER IN THAT BAND!! ✌️
I had occasional contact with Marianne as a homecare nurse here in Michigan and she is as advertised. Very professional but very real and reachable on a personal level. She is very capable as a nurse and the genuine article. She was the perfect person for the job and not there by accident. It was preordained.
@@petersvox9762 Yuppers! It tore me up, and Wolfgang came out with "Distance", I was a puddle on the floor! I couldn't watch it without crying my face off for about a year! Still get choked up to this day when I see that Video! I expect to hear Eddie's voice at the end of Distance on his album! "Call me, ok? Just wanna hear your voice, love you! Bye!". Tears roll down my cheek! Mammoth II ROCKS! 🤘😝🎸🎶⚡🎶
Thanks Marianne for sharing your story with us. I idolized him, he was my first guitar hero and I starting playing because of him. The thing that captured it for me was his smile , again thanks for sharing your moments with Ed❤
This is an amazing interview but also very sad. I think of the time when I was a teenager and in my 20s when Van Halen was huge and all over the radio. Time just keeps ticking, and we get older. What an amazing experience for this kind nurse.
Very tastefully done with all the appropriate respect for the man and his privacy. I've seen a lot of interviews with Ed and he was always a very humble and genuine character without any of the 'rock god' attitude. It's funny the part about the dog... they're doing cancer research on dogs which apparently holds great promise to develop new treatments for humans (actually already has). The dog photo was really cool too!! Cheers and thanks for being a RN... it can't be easy doing it as a living but you are appreciated!!
This was a great idea for a video! I'm grateful for Eddie's many positive contributions to my life and the music world. I'm still sad he is not physically here. I wish that all of his bandmates could have gotten together again on positive and fun terms. There will never be another musician or guitarist that matches Eddie's many skills and contagious smiling.
It is beautiful when you can be deeply impacted by another individual, while at the exact same time, you provide massive impact right back towards this person! Just golden!
glad to hear someone else admit it Adam. I cried when I heard about Eddie. I was tore up at least a week. Even now if I watch a few VH videos I water up a bit. I even named my dog Eddie in his honor. My dog actually has a favorite song. It's Jump.
That is awesome. What does your pup do when Jump comes up on the stereo or in the car? Please tell us he hangs his head out the window howling at kids in passing cars, then barks every time the chorus goes "Might as well (woof)!" Or at least you're teaching him to do that with guitar shaped treats. Who's a good boy... Way too cool.
I have been an RN for 20 years now and want to thank you for your service and your story! I am a 56 year old guitarist and Eddie was one of my biggest inspirations as a 14 year old back in the late 1970s !! Thanks for posting 👍
This was so great! This lady is incredible! I totally dig how professional she was when in the situation of being Eddie nurse! She seems just as beautiful on the inside as the outside!
Great interview. Very respectful. Don't need to know personal details. We know what he was going through. Eddie was a great, gentle soul. I'll miss him for the rest of my life.
Great interview, thnx for sharing Marianne. I'm a musician that went through HPV throat cancer treatment 2019. Let me tell it's nothing short of a ride through Hell. Brutal doesn't begin to describe it. What appeared to be a small growth on my right tonsil, changed my life physically and mentally forever. I'm glad you mentioned "Alternative Treatment" as I tried for 6 months, dropped it when my 2nd PET scan showed more growth. Took the chemo and the rads without a feeding tube. I swore I would never EVER do chemo, so far I'm still here..
This was a tremendous interview providing a wonderful backstory and fresh perspective. Excellent questions and Marianne was a class act. My graduating class was 1985 and Van Halen was heard every day cranked from car stereos in the h.s. parking lot. Good times. My Pops died of melanoma on his forehead that metastasized to his brain, down his spine, then throughout his organs. By the time he was diagnosed he was stage 4 and died 6 was later. Thank you so much for this take on the legend.
Eddie will forever be missed! The day Eddie passed I was at home I had walked into the kitchen to turn on the radio. Not knowing he had just passed before walking into the kitchen that day. The radio station that I listen to was playing back to back continuous Van Halen songs. I thought uh oh something's happened cause normally they don't play continuous back to back songs of one group. When the radio DJ came back on the air that's when I found out Eddie had passed away that day. It broke my heart to hear that he passed. I was in complete tears as I will never forget how his gentle soul showed thru his music. Eddie was a true inspiration for all of us that grew up in the 80's. Thank you for sharing your video with us!❤
I'm 2 years younger than you Marianne! Also grew up in the 80s, and I have a 30 year old son. My Uncle was a producer at A&M RECORDS HOLLYWOOD from 1969-1999. From the age of 7 years old, I spent my summers going to the studio with my Uncle. So, I saw music HISTORY being made from 1972 until my Uncle retired. I was actually at A&M at 1am-6am in the 2 nights it took to record " We Are The World", USA 4 AFRICA .I've got my white sweatshirt signed and the AWARD every singer signed to my Uncle. Thank you for being honest and sharing your experience with Ed Van Halen. Wolfgang Van Halen inherited his Dad's Coldwater Canyon home and he lives there with his FIANCE' Andraia Allsop.
If you don't mind me asking what is your uncle's name? My dad did National promo for A&M records in the 80s so I guarantee he knows him. If you want I can divulge first and give you my dad's industry name - so ask him if he knows VanO 😁. There weren't many people in the industry who didn't know who he was - I say that past tense because he has since retired as of about 2 years ago after spending 43 years in the industry. But A&M was my dad's first label gig. From there he went to Chrysalis records out in California for a few years and worked for them as one of their National directors of Rock promo. In the early 90s he decided to go independent and started Midwest music and he got to work with every label that hired him. He worked Nirvana's never mind album when it was released and was literally the driving force for getting 3 doors down airplay and put into rotation at radio stations when they released kryptonite. As the years went on he got more into the metal scene and again was one of maybe three people who broke Bring Me The Horizon into mainstream radio. Up until you retired he worked slipknots albums and singles and is actually close friends with Corey Taylor. Funny story: a few years ago at the big day out festival up in Connecticut or New York, I texted him and asked him what he was doing and he sends me a picture of him standing at the festival with him and his BFF Corey Taylor LOL. I wish I could find a video on here still but I had it as a couple years ago in an email from my dad where Chris motionless was thanking my dad for picking up their band and working their first album. Much like you, although your experiences with the artists are much cooler, I spent my Summers traveling with my dad and meeting all these hair bands in the 80s. In fact even up until the year he retired, my dad still had to do the summer festivals tour and a big one is Rock on the range, although I don't think it's called that anymore, I believe it's Sonic Temple nowadays, but it literally takes place 50 minutes up the road for me. Huge 3-day festival where just about every major metal band would Grace at least one of the stages. So up until that point I always had six free tickets for the 3-day event for myself and my fiance as well as all access laminates to watch the shows from the side of the stage. That being said - your memories with your uncle are cool as hell. I mean just being in the studio while the "We Are the World" tracks are being recorded by all these artists is unbelievable. I mean you're literally sitting there watching history in the making - like front row. Anyways let me know if your uncle knows him or not. I don't know if your uncle had an industry nickname or not and if you're not cool with the bulging it that's fine but man you're the first person I've seen in the UA-cam comment section where I thought "oh my God I wonder if they know my dad".
There will never be another Van Halen I saw them in 1980 81 82 and again in 84 no other band brought me more fun enjoyment or good times like the mighty Van Halen rip Eddie!!!!
My late Mom was a RN in an Emergency Room for most of her professional career. I have nothing but ❤ & respect for nurses. They are TRULY superheroes. Thanks for sharing this wonderful interview. Great, insightful interview. #RIP Mom & EVH 👍✌🤘😁🤘
I used to live in the poor section of Studio City. It was great knowing EVH lived off Coldwater Canyon. I saw EVH and Valerie driving around one time. He is so missed.
@@jayteesgear Studio City is littered with old apartment buildings. 30 years ago my studio apartment, South of Magnolia, was very affordable. Perfect for people just starting their careers. I was poor back then.
My ex wife was a home health/ hospice nurse. She couldn't talk too much about her patients medically. This lady reminds me of her because she's always so careful about what she says. There were times when my wife got up in the middle of the night and had to go see a patient who would later die. When she got home I knew she was troubled but she never would say much. After a few years of that, she got a job working with a baby doctor. It was a lot less stressful and instead of death, she dealt with life! It was a good switch. I actually talked her into making the switch and I'm glad I did.
I was in a very sad mood when I heard EVH had died. I knew he had health problems for many years but had no idea he was as sick as he was. I fully understand why it wasn't discussed openly. We did hear rumors of the tour that might happen and always had hope they were going to come true.
I find it fascinating we place such a high value on a person's ability to master a six-stringed instrument. In this case, I think it's the mirage that got developed around the band, likely in large part due to DLRs salesmanship. I think we all love VH, but so much is based on the "product" delivered via the media and show theatrics. At the center of all that, was a relatively down to earth guy, who was a great musician. 😊
Awesome interview! Travel nurses rock! I'm a nurse, and have done mainly med/surg, but the best part of the job is working with the patients. Pretty sure if I'd had this assignment I would have crapped my pants! Losing Eddie just broke my heart to pieces, but I thank God for all the people that loved and took care of him in his final days. Sorry you never got to see VH in concert, but go catch Wolf on tour!
Really enjoyed this interview 💗 it’s pretty special to know Wolf is recording there now, and follow his music career. It was great seeing him play in the Taylor Hawkins tribute!
OMG! Marianne! What a wonderful interview! Thank you SO much for taking care of Edward who we all love and revere! He was blessed to have you to care for him. You are a beautiful soul and thank you for being a nurse. I can tell that you love what you do. We need more healthcare workers like you! I'm so glad you came on Adam's show to tell us your beautiful story. Thank you for being a part of his treatment as I'm sure he was going through a difficult time. ❤🤍🖤🎸👑
Wolfie mentioned it on a video. He hoped that it would get his dad excited and rally him so they could. Possibly do with DLR and Sammy Hagar as well as Gary Cherone. It seemed that the talk didn't progress much more than that as his dad's health didn't improve. So glad I saw them once in 1984 with DLR and several times with Sammy Hagar. They were a powerful band! Always a joy to see! I will always miss him, but I usually go put on some Van Halen and jam and all is well with the world!
Wolfie's Idea that he brought to his Dad Ed Was a Van Halen Tour would have been called The KITCHEN SINK Tour with all 3 Singers and The whole original Idea was Wolf VanHalen's.
Miss Marianne, you are such a Angel 😇 Eddie was Blessed to have you and you are such a Class Act 🎬 !✔❤ What a Wonderful Experience and Story !✔❤ Thanks for Sharing with us and God Bless ✔❤❤❤❤❤
I saw VH a couple of times. The first time was when I was in high school; at the Civic Center in Portland Maine. My friend had bought Grateful Dead tickets. Back then the tickets were all 'general admission' and it was like a giant party. So we are in the place and VH came on stage as the lead in band! We had no idea who they were. I remembering looking at the stage and this crazy man (David Lee Roth) in tights and a superman cape running everywhere, doing backflips and stuff. The music was great. I made my way to the front and stood about ten feet from Eddie. I play guitar and just wanted to see how the hell he was getting those sounds. He looked at me at one point and grinned, probably knew I was trying to figure it out. Sad he passed away.
@@gagealbright The crazy thing, unlike today, it was general admission so a big party (no real checks on what you brought in also, so we brought in the works.) Place was wild.. super good times
@@hubrisnaut thats awesome man. two very different bands but both considered to be big time party bands. if you also got to stand 10 feet away from jerry garcia in addition to evh then i might die of jealousy!
Edwards been my fave guitar player since i 1st heard the opening riff of ' Ain't talking bout love ' Great interview & thank you Marianne for helping our hero 🎸🎸👑👑
I met EVH at the grocery store. He knew I was starstruck and came over to me to say hello. Also, I worked at a studio in VanNuys and met a guy that told me EVH paid for his girlfriend’s cancer treatment. He even paid for transportation. He was a good guy.
I never met Ed....Saw VH 35 Times and flew out to the last Hollywood Bowl Show.... I kinda knew it was gonna be the last time I saw them! It's amazing, now that time has passed,how much Ed's death hit me. 2020 was such a cruel time and to have a childhood hero pass! We still have his music and the memories! Love ya Ed.....
A friend of mine is a nurse in Los Angeles. She worked on George Harrison before he died, but not too long. But she spent a lot of time off and on with Elizabeth Taylor and became pretty good friends.
Yet another person that Edward’s beautiful soul has touched. According to Wolfgang, they were thinking about planning a tour which would include Michael Anthony and they were going to call it the kitchen sink tour because everyone was going to be involved from Sammy Hagar to David Lee Roth and Michael Anthony. This nurse was correct in saying that Edward would be better and then the cancer would come back in a different form because Wolfgang basically said the same thing that he would get better and then something else would pop up.
Marianne and Adam! 🙏 Bless U Both, Marianne, my late wife Also was a RN/Critical Care & Employee Health, This World 🌎 is a Big Place but it gets Smaller Everyday as we go. Medical Staff are So close 2 my Heart as my Health has been a battle 40 years & going,TY 4 letting us Fans share your Experience with Edd. Adam TY 4 finding Marianne & bringing her into our circle of Van Halen Fans, Love what U Do & R Still Doing, Thanks Brother 🤠 From Down Under! & My Music-In-Laws', God Bless U Both 🙏🌎🙏
This was a great interview... Just happen to come across your channel today and I subscribed. Going to check out some of your other ones today as well.
I’m amazed that Ed didn’t just give her a tour of 5150, depending on if he was feeling up to it. I’m sure if she asked for a tour of 5150 Ed would have gladly gave her the go-around. At the same time, she seems very professional and wouldn’t ask for anything anyways, regardless of who the patient might be.
Eddie's music means so much to me. When I was very ill.a few years ago, I was in a coma. The doctor knew I was a huge VH fan. So to help bring me out of it, they played their music for me pretty much around the clock. R.I.P. Ed. ❤️🎸
Great interview! What she said about cancer being a beast is so true. I was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer in 2018, after months of chemo, radiation and immunotherapy I was lucky enough to have my cancer go in remission. A day does not go by where I don't think about it coming back, it's like a sleeping giant that's going to live inside of me probably until the day I die. Until then, I'm going to live my life like I never have before.

I'm glad you mentioned "Alternative Treatment" as I tried for 6 months, dropped it when my 2nd PET scan showed more growth.
Took the chemo and the rads without a feeding tube.
I swore I would never EVER do chemo, so far I'm still here..
This was a tremendous interview providing a wonderful backstory and fresh perspective. Excellent questions and Marianne was a class act. My graduating class was 1985 and Van Halen was heard every day cranked from car stereos in the h.s. parking lot. Good times.

Wolfgang Van Halen inherited his Dad's Coldwater Canyon home and he lives there with his FIANCE' Andraia Allsop.
OMG! That is SO awesome!!!
If you don't mind me asking what is your uncle's name? My dad did National promo for A&M records in the 80s so I guarantee he knows him. If you want I can divulge first and give you my dad's industry name - so ask him if he knows VanO 😁. There weren't many people in the industry who didn't know who he was - I say that past tense because he has since retired as of about 2 years ago after spending 43 years in the industry. But A&M was my dad's first label gig. From there he went to Chrysalis records out in California for a few years and worked for them as one of their National directors of Rock promo. In the early 90s he decided to go independent and started Midwest music and he got to work with every label that hired him. He worked Nirvana's never mind album when it was released and was literally the driving force for getting 3 doors down airplay and put into rotation at radio stations when they released kryptonite. As the years went on he got more into the metal scene and again was one of maybe three people who broke Bring Me The Horizon into mainstream radio. Up until you retired he worked slipknots albums and singles and is actually close friends with Corey Taylor. Funny story: a few years ago at the big day out festival up in Connecticut or New York, I texted him and asked him what he was doing and he sends me a picture of him standing at the festival with him and his BFF Corey Taylor LOL. I wish I could find a video on here still but I had it as a couple years ago in an email from my dad where Chris motionless was thanking my dad for picking up their band and working their first album.
Much like you, although your experiences with the artists are much cooler, I spent my Summers traveling with my dad and meeting all these hair bands in the 80s. In fact even up until the year he retired, my dad still had to do the summer festivals tour and a big one is Rock on the range, although I don't think it's called that anymore, I believe it's Sonic Temple nowadays, but it literally takes place 50 minutes up the road for me. Huge 3-day festival where just about every major metal band would Grace at least one of the stages. So up until that point I always had six free tickets for the 3-day event for myself and my fiance as well as all access laminates to watch the shows from the side of the stage.
That being said - your memories with your uncle are cool as hell. I mean just being in the studio while the "We Are the World" tracks are being recorded by all these artists is unbelievable. I mean you're literally sitting there watching history in the making - like front row. Anyways let me know if your uncle knows him or not. I don't know if your uncle had an industry nickname or not and if you're not cool with the bulging it that's fine but man you're the first person I've seen in the UA-cam comment section where I thought "oh my God I wonder if they know my dad".
There will never be another Van Halen I saw them in 1980 81 82 and again in 84 no other band brought me more fun enjoyment or good times like the mighty Van Halen rip Eddie!!!!
My late Mom was a RN in an Emergency Room for most of her professional career. I have nothing but ❤ & respect for nurses. They are TRULY superheroes. Thanks for sharing this wonderful interview. Great, insightful interview. #RIP Mom & EVH 👍✌🤘😁🤘
Marianne TeBeau. Thank you so much help keeping Ed Alive in your part for what you did! God bless you!!!
Excellent interview with this sweet lady Marianne TeBeau. Thanks.
I used to live in the poor section of Studio City. It was great knowing EVH lived off Coldwater Canyon. I saw EVH and Valerie driving around one time. He is so missed.
Theres a “Poor” section of Studio??? You mean like North of Magnolia?
@@jayteesgear Studio City is littered with old apartment buildings. 30 years ago my studio apartment, South of Magnolia, was very affordable. Perfect for people just starting their careers. I was poor back then.
My ex wife was a home health/ hospice nurse. She couldn't talk too much about her patients medically. This lady reminds me of her because she's always so careful about what she says.
There were times when my wife got up in the middle of the night and had to go see a patient who would later die. When she got home I knew she was troubled but she never would say much. After a few years of that, she got a job working with a baby doctor. It was a lot less stressful and instead of death, she dealt with life! It was a good switch. I actually talked her into making the switch and I'm glad I did.
What a very lovely story. U treated him with love and respect. The world thanks u 4 being there 4 him. Thank u 4 the precious story !💖💖
What an interaction this person had with EVH. Thank you for sharing her experience.
This person has a name- Marianne & is a special travel nurse.
I was in a very sad mood when I heard EVH had died. I knew he had health problems for many years but had no idea he was as sick as he was. I fully understand why it wasn't discussed openly. We did hear rumors of the tour that might happen and always had hope they were going to come true.
So many memories of my youth I remember listening to VH...the power of music. ❤
I find it fascinating we place such a high value on a person's ability to master a six-stringed instrument. In this case, I think it's the mirage that got developed around the band, likely in large part due to DLRs salesmanship. I think we all love VH, but so much is based on the "product" delivered via the media and show theatrics. At the center of all that, was a relatively down to earth guy, who was a great musician. 😊
Awesome interview! Travel nurses rock! I'm a nurse, and have done mainly med/surg, but the best part of the job is working with the patients. Pretty sure if I'd had this assignment I would have crapped my pants! Losing Eddie just broke my heart to pieces, but I thank God for all the people that loved and took care of him in his final days. Sorry you never got to see VH in concert, but go catch Wolf on tour!
I'm a fan since day one. I owe Ed a lot of thanks. When friends were getting in trouble with the law. I was at home pretending to be EVH. RIP ED
God bless care takers. That profession / service takes a special kind of person. So often they are overworked. Let us not take them for granted.
As a fellow nurse and EVH fan Thank you and keep on kicking and healing ass!!
Great interview. It’s nice hearing about the human side of Ed, miss him.
As private as EVH was I’m surprised he didn’t have a non-disclosure agreement. Good interview. Thank you.
He did. It's called HIPAA
@@releshred1272 Except for vax status. What a joke.
Really enjoyed this interview 💗 it’s pretty special to know Wolf is recording there now, and follow his music career. It was great seeing him play in the Taylor Hawkins tribute!
OMG! Marianne! What a wonderful interview! Thank you SO much for taking care of Edward who we all love and revere! He was blessed to have you to care for him. You are a beautiful soul and thank you for being a nurse. I can tell that you love what you do. We need more healthcare workers like you! I'm so glad you came on Adam's show to tell us your beautiful story. Thank you for being a part of his treatment as I'm sure he was going through a difficult time. ❤🤍🖤🎸👑
Thank you Holly :)
Great interview, thank you! Miss EVH very much!!
This was incredible to listen to! Thanks so much for sharing your story Marianne 😊
Thank you Marianne TeBeau, to care for EVH in his final years and provide some comfort speaks volumes,,
Wolfie mentioned it on a video. He hoped that it would get his dad excited and rally him so they could. Possibly do with DLR and Sammy Hagar as well as Gary Cherone. It seemed that the talk didn't progress much more than that as his dad's health didn't improve. So glad I saw them once in 1984 with DLR and several times with Sammy Hagar. They were a powerful band! Always a joy to see! I will always miss him, but I usually go put on some Van Halen and jam and all is well with the world!
Wolfie's Idea that he brought to his Dad Ed
Was a Van Halen Tour would have been called
The KITCHEN SINK Tour with all 3 Singers and
The whole original Idea was Wolf VanHalen's.
Miss Marianne, you are such a Angel 😇
Eddie was Blessed to have you and you are such a Class Act 🎬 !✔❤ What a Wonderful Experience and Story !✔❤
Thanks for Sharing with us and God Bless ✔❤❤❤❤❤
I saw VH a couple of times. The first time was when I was in high school; at the Civic Center in Portland Maine. My friend had bought Grateful Dead tickets. Back then the tickets were all 'general admission' and it was like a giant party. So we are in the place and VH came on stage as the lead in band! We had no idea who they were. I remembering looking at the stage and this crazy man (David Lee Roth) in tights and a superman cape running everywhere, doing backflips and stuff. The music was great. I made my way to the front and stood about ten feet from Eddie. I play guitar and just wanted to see how the hell he was getting those sounds. He looked at me at one point and grinned, probably knew I was trying to figure it out. Sad he passed away.
Wow that is wild. Do you know what year that was? I never heard that VH opened up for the Grateful Dead. Those are my two favorite bands of all time!
@@gagealbright Pretty sure It was '79.
@@hubrisnaut thanks man. that really is incredible. you saw my two favorite guitarists of all time in one show. so cool!
@@gagealbright The crazy thing, unlike today, it was general admission so a big party (no real checks on what you brought in also, so we brought in the works.) Place was wild.. super good times
@@hubrisnaut thats awesome man. two very different bands but both considered to be big time party bands. if you also got to stand 10 feet away from jerry garcia in addition to evh then i might die of jealousy!
Edwards been my fave guitar player since i 1st heard the opening riff of ' Ain't talking bout love ' Great interview & thank you Marianne for helping our hero 🎸🎸👑👑
Eddie was loved and admired by sooo many people! Such a legend! ❤🎸🎶🎵❤🥀
Very professional until the end.., very commendable. Eddie is greatly missed. Alex remains a blessing
Thanks Marianne for telling your story. Very interesting! Glad you got to meet him, he seemed like a good, humble gentleman.
Thank you ,for taking care of my friend
Amazing lady....great interview
Most important, thank you for helping EVH.
I met EVH at the grocery store. He knew I was starstruck and came over to me to say hello. Also, I worked at a studio in VanNuys and met a guy that told me EVH paid for his girlfriend’s cancer treatment. He even paid for transportation. He was a good guy.
😊😅 thank you Marianne and channel for interview ....
Ed means so much to the Planet! Music! he really needs a Presidential medal for his work.
I love hearing stories like this. That was funny when he said to her, I was wondering when you were going to ask, for a picture.
Thank you for taking good care of EVH! Michigan Rox!
Doctors, nurses & medical staff all do such a great job...
Marianne you are such a beautiful soul.Thank you for this story
Great interview. Very nice woman. You can tell she’s very caring.
Thank you Chris. Yes very caring.
That must have been so cool to be the lucky nurse. Cool interview
I never met Ed....Saw VH 35 Times and flew out to the last Hollywood Bowl Show....
I kinda knew it was gonna be the last time I saw them!
It's amazing, now that time has passed,how much Ed's death hit me. 2020 was such a cruel time and to have a childhood hero pass! We still have his music and the memories! Love ya Ed.....
That you!!! For your service....your a unsung hero!!!
A friend of mine is a nurse in Los Angeles. She worked on George Harrison before he died, but not too long. But she spent a lot of time off and on with Elizabeth Taylor and became pretty good friends.
This nurse and Eddie Van Halen. ❤️❤️❤️
Eddie was in my life alot of years through music and a few concerts ,I was shocked when he passed on Oct 6th my birthday.
She's quite the compassionate caregiver.
Give it up for Travel Nurses!
Edward had special care 🙂
fantastic interview
Eddie was kind soul ❤
Boy you was lucky wow I always liked Eddie awesome guitar players
Thank you for taking care of Ed good interview
Awesome interview!
Yet another person that Edward’s beautiful soul has touched. According to Wolfgang, they were thinking about planning a tour which would include Michael Anthony and they were going to call it the kitchen sink tour because everyone was going to be involved from Sammy Hagar to David Lee Roth and Michael Anthony. This nurse was correct in saying that Edward would be better and then the cancer would come back in a different form because Wolfgang basically said the same thing that he would get better and then something else would pop up.
Marianne and Adam! 🙏 Bless U Both, Marianne, my late wife Also was a RN/Critical Care & Employee Health, This World 🌎 is a Big Place but it gets Smaller Everyday as we go. Medical Staff are So close 2 my Heart as my Health has been a battle 40 years & going,TY 4 letting us Fans share your Experience with Edd. Adam TY 4 finding Marianne & bringing her into our circle of Van Halen Fans, Love what U Do & R Still Doing, Thanks Brother 🤠 From Down Under! & My Music-In-Laws', God Bless U Both 🙏🌎🙏
Thank you Ryan :) I hope your health is getting better and look forward to seeing you at a VH convention one day.
Very interesting and different perspective, very well done. Thank you both
Thank you Chris.
This was a great interview... Just happen to come across your channel today and I subscribed.
Going to check out some of your other ones today as well.
I’m amazed that Ed didn’t just give her a tour of 5150, depending on if he was feeling up to it. I’m sure if she asked for a tour of 5150 Ed would have gladly gave her the go-around. At the same time, she seems very professional and wouldn’t ask for anything anyways, regardless of who the patient might be.
Anyone surprised Eddie was a sweet guy, even when he probably wasn’t feeling so great? Me either. We miss you Eddie.
My husband says he’s very thankful for the music VanHallen played during the 70 and 80s
Awesome interview loved it.
Thanks for sharing your story!!! I 🙏 🙏 Kodi is doing well without daddy
I see your subscriber count is pretty small. Hopefully this interview will lift those numbers way up. You gained my sub that's for sure.
Thank you very much :)
I'll add myself also. I know how tough it is.
