    Eddie still seems pretty down to earth considering the life he's led, the experiences he's had, the money he's made, and the praise that's been lavished upon him. I'm a guitarist who's been playing for almost 40 years, and I've obviously never hit the big time. It's probably a good thing, because if I had, I'd probably be dead by now. I dearly love my wife of over 30 years, and if I had been a rock star, I'd probably be divorced by now. Fame really takes a toll on you, not that I know from experience. Anyone who's been in the limelight for as long as Eddie has, and survived, and cleaned up their life, deserves major kudos. He even had the class to attend former wife Valerie Bertinelli's wedding to someone else. Anyone who does that can't be all bad, even though he's obviously made many mistakes along the way. Eddie, keep fighting the good fight, bro.

      It's contrary to Sammy Hagars POS book RED . His book was supposed to be about himself BUT he used it as an unfair smear campaign against the Halen Bros . They never screwed him over . Sam said something to really piss Eddie off trying to be leader of the band literally . Big mistake . He tried to paint a picture that he was all about the money . Most people don't know Eddie did promotion work for Kramer Guitars FOR FREE . Kramer's profit margin was small because of the inclusion of the Floyd Rose Tremolo . Eddie worked with Kramer for free to keep the price down .

      I understand and respect his/family privacy, but his story of getting sober in 2007 is a beautiful story, and maybe his greatest gift to others. A lot of people do not realize how much he struggled .He wrote and played under the influence for his entire career. I would think that having all of that success under those circumstances would make it SO difficult to find sobriety. It would take great courage to change after years of being put on a pedestal under the influence of all sorts of things. Your are totally right, you can see the light in his eyes

    will say it a million times, and mean it everytime Being a guitarist myself, I know what EVH was to me. Everyone else here knows what he meant to them. You can throw out all the superlatives you want about The Master, but there is never going to be an argument about his mastery of his chosen art. No else had players around the planet going "What the F is that". From his grin to his fingers Eddie was born to bring us joy through his expression of his art, and you can thank whatever god you believe in that he shared his joy with us.
    ALWAYS #1
    UNPARALLELED.
    When the master emerged, from the opening chords of you really got me, every player knew the sonic landscape was changed in a way that was unheard of up to that time. Eruption smashed his foot onto your throat daring you to try to emulate him. No one can.
    There was never anyone like him, and there will never be another, and I miss his artistry.

      I agree.
      His solos are iconic and memorable.
      And perhaps even more important are the hooks. So many,
      Beautiful girls, bottoms up, I'm the one, unchained, etc. etc. etc.
      Almost every single Van Halen song from those first five records is instantly recognizable within a couple of notes or even less.

    I remember as a kid when Beat it came on, I looked forward to that guitar solo…it made that song so cool. I did not even know who Eddie Van Halen was…but I knew that song was special because of the guitar solo.

    You know.. I am an up north country music lovin' hillbilly. I am not into rap music, but I love LL. His character is so genuine. He seems like a guy who I would consider a friend. Keep it up buddy. Eddie is a guitar god, what more is to be said.

      Mandy Lion Who cares? She's saying he's a good looking guy who looks awful now, and while it will happen to all of us it's still sad. Extra sad when it happens to such a smiley, happy-as-long-as-he's-playing-music, talented healthy person. You don't have to be such a downer when someone expresses emotion rather than hard facts online.
      Anyway, I notice he sounds very different. He can still sing, but his voice has changed tone since removal of part of his tongue.

      I think you mean that you hate to see somebody look and act "old" before their time. But, getting old in itself means that you're doing things right (along with a little luck).

    That was awesome! What a great pair of guests these two were. Eddie is the best...one of the most innovative guitar players in rock history if not the most. Anyone who would take a guitar they put together like his Frankenstein and play for 10's of thousands of people is incredible!! LL is just a cool dude that you sure as hell don't want to scrap with! LOL. Very smart guy and cool that he reached out to Eddie. Props!!

      @F3502000 10 років тому

      migo53333 Jimmy page is the most 'iconic' player in my opinion...hes just amazing! However, yes IMO Eddie is the most 'innovative' player. There is a difference. Jimmy didnt buy throw away guitar bodies and tear out electronics from other brands to put together an gnarly looking 'Frankenstein' guitar searching for a tone that off the shelf guitars would not achieve. Then take it on tour using it onstage for millions of people!! So yes, Eddie is much more innovative than any guitar player I have ever heard, seen, or read about. Who can you say has done that like he did?

      F3502000 when van halen came out in '78 no one had ever heard that sound before. their producer and sound engineers deserve some major credit too. other bands that had a completely new and groundbreaking sound ; Rush (legends), Yes (legends), Boston (cheesy but had great production quality), Metallica (wicked heavy at the time but used lots of musicality), and Slayer (blew the fucking top off of everybody's head)

    I agree. I saw Van Halen open for Black Sabbath in 1978. They did two songs from their upcoming album- "Beautiful Girls"and "Spanish Fly" . We thought "Eruption" was the end-all! Jan Akkerman from Focus had made our heads spin with "Hocus Pocus" in 1973. My guitar buddies and I swore Jan couldn't be bettered- until Eddie. Many have dazzled, but most of the guitar wizardry heard in the last 35 years can be traced back to EVH- he made us want to explore and practice.

    Peirce is like a little School girl around Eddie...Which I understand to a degree as V.H. was a monumental rock band (The Sound of 80's hair band rock personified). But, it seems to me that he's not really all that interested in talking to L.L. who is just as cool in his own right. L.L. was smooth as shit and extremely musical sounding at a time when your average Hip Hop song wasn't much more than a catch phrase over a drum loop. (You Down with OPP?) These were the two extreme ends of the 80's-90's pop music world.
    But when L.L. says the most poignant thing I have ever heard on the topic of race relations in America..."IF WE CAN"T MOVE PAST WHAT HAPPENEND IN THE PAST, HOW CAN WE HAVE A FUTURE TOGETHER?" To which Peirce responds by telling Eddie how great he looks for a 60 year old man...
    CNN Missing the point since 1983.
