    Cool to know that Billie and I can say that both our first concerts were Van Halen since I saw them back in 2012 when I was 13 (and around the same age as well), Eddie was also one of my first major influences so this was a really interesting story as well

    I can relate. I was hanging out with Ed and the boys in '83 if I remember correctly, we were on the moon having beers and Ed pulls out the strat and starts jamming away because sound actually DOES travel in space, and he looks at me and he is just bawling, and he says "Brother,you have been my biggest influence! Because of you I picked up a guitar and because of you only. Now let's all get in that rocket ship and go home and ROCK THAT SHIT!!" That's Edward for you. I love him and miss him.
