"Eddie was a guitar wonder, his playing pure wizardry. To the world of music, he was a special gift. When Jimi Hendrix came along it was like, ‘Where did this guy come from?’, and I think that was the same feeling with Eddie. When Eddie appeared on the scene, every guitarist I ran into said, ‘You’ve gotta hear this guy" - ANGUS YOUNG

This is where he was happiest. On stage with that Big Smile.

I hadn't thought of what you said. I think you're absolutely right. There has to be loads of recordings of Eddie that we have never heard. I am still mourning him. I hope I can meet him in the afterlife and tell him how much I admire his talent. RIP!! 🙏

We lost several Great musicians this year. RIP NEIL PEART and Eddie Van Halen

Sammy said that Van Halen was in the works for doing a Monsters of Rock repeat concert in Spokane, WA at Joe Albi stadium, as there are plans to have it torn down this year. The concert was supposed to be held last August in 2020, with the original 80's line up of Kingdom Come, Metallica, Dokken, Scorpions and Van Halen headlining. This was supposed to be a send off concert for Albi Stadium, where the Monsters of Rock show took place on July 20th, 1988, (I was at that show) but due to Covid and Eddie's health, it never came to fruition. RIP Eddie.

His pipe organ is unsurpassed. Doin' it with volume knob. Most could not do it with a volume pedal that good. Cathedral is the name of that song.

I was at this show in Connecticut. Seen Van Halen 3 times on this tour in San Diego, Los Angeles and Connecticut. Ha. First time was US Festival in San Bernardino California 1983. Diver Down tour. Overall 15 times.

KUDOS to you for doing a reaction video where the video of YOU was small and the music video was the rest of the screen. This is the right way to do a reaction video for sure - thank you!

I've been a fan of Eddie's since day one because I have been at the concerts I'm 54 years old today! What makes him amazing is he has mastered feed back and that's rare. A replica like Eddie has start at 25 thousand dollars! He named his guitar FRANKINSTRAT 🎸aka Fender Stratocaster! Eddie took the neck of a guitar that was tossed aside for the fact it was defected and pieced it with the bottom half of another guitar hince FRANKINSTRAT!; Eddie Van Halen is second to none just like Steve Perry from journey his voice is second to none! Like Eddie mastered feed back Steve Perry has mastered a raspy voice listen to his latest songs called ""IN THE RAIN!!!! ""I NEED YOU!!!! ""YOU BELONG TO ME!!!! These songs are bone chilling because you can feel Steve's pain while singing those songs i listed. PS, Steve Perry made these songs because a woman who he was in love with passed away from breast cancer in the early 2000s they had only been together for less than two years 💔 she had Steve make her a promise that he wouldn't go back into isolation and to start singing again for his fans because he had no desire to ever sing again being he hasn't for many years. Steve said it himself that's why he left Journey he said that he was burnt out being on the road and couldn't have a steady relationship. That's what most of Journey songs are about being on the road and having a family. The song Faithfully is a perfect example how Steve Perry felt and most of the band members.

Edward's final years were probably full of suffering due to his illness. I'm glad he's at peace now and died with his life back on track and his family around him. He deserves all the accolades and his music will live on forever.

Thank you for such a wonderful and heartfelt tribute to our King Edward. watching interviews with him and other kind folks like yourself paying tribute to Eddie and reactions makes it somewhat easier to bear. Rock / Metal / Guitar Music rarely gets mainstream exposure and respect so it is greatly appreciated you guys doing this. There’s a Bad Religion ( Punk Band ) Lyric that says it al “ Everyone you love leaves a mark on your soul, The world is a little less bright without King Edward I’m fighting cancer and depression and EVH has been an integral part of my life since day one.It may some daft but it feels like I’ve lost a family member. His devotion to the instrument and chasing tone is unparalleled. This is a brilliant interview if you haven’t seen it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8hiaadpx6i-cmw.html&ab_channel=Z%C3%B3caloPublicSquare most people don’t know the King Edward was a bi-racial half Asian / half white Immigrant and that his lifelong friends were the black kids who stood up for them when they came to the US. As they were ‘half breed’ immigrants who couldn’t speak the language. And look at where they ended up man! A definitive American Dream story. Eddie played the solo on Michael Jackson’s Beat it, re-arranged it so it sounded more ‘Rock’ and introduced Michael to a wider audience for free. Eddie buried Dimebag Darrell from Pantera with his original Bumblebee Guitar when Dime’s life partner Rita asked him to make a Copy Ed said “an Original deserves an Original” Vinnie Paul ( Pantera ) Dimebag’s brother says the last words his brother said to him was Van f+*in Halen’ their nightly ritual before hitting the stage. He gave Jerry Cantrell 5150 Stacks after touring with Alice In Chains and the last concert he went to was TOOL and a TOOL fan asked him to take a picture of the fan in front of Tool’s stage and he did, The fan had no idea who Ed was and Ed was chill with it. / no ‘don’t you know who I am’ attitude. Frank Zappa loved and respected Eddie and got him to teach Dweezil who was obsessed with ED When Frank died Ed was THE 1st first to call with condolences and to offer any assistance. He did the same for Chris Cornell Guitarist Pete Thorn when Chris Passed He got Allan Holdsworth signed to Warner to introduce Allan to a wider audience He was the 1st to mod his guitars in such an extreme way chasing tone, popularising the Super Strat - Humbuckers in Strat style guitars, Waxing Pickups, Variac on his amp and did his first 2 albums with the original Fender Whammy which led to the creation of the Floyd Rose Whammy Bar and later he developed the D-Tuna addition to go from standard to drop D Les Paul Said Ed, him & Leo Fender are the only guys who know how to make guitars His 5150 Amp is still THE go to amp and sound of Modern metal, Gojira use the EVH 5150 His Rhythm Playing was funky, tasteful and rockin’ and his songwriting is the reason his loss is affecting grandparents, parents, kids and all ethnicities alike as Van Halen songs will live forever. Henry Rollins saw them as an Opening Band and they Blew away Black Sabbath, Ozzy said someone doesn’t get That good without crazy dedication to your craft. He bravely and quietly fought cancer for 20 years Much love to Alex Wolfie, Valerie, Janie, Dave, Michael, Sammy, Gary & all the fans that lost this Brother from another mother Enjoy EVH kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gp-iYLGp2r_Xqps.html&ab_channel=Hazardteam

Edward Van Halen - The King of Ten Fingers and Six Strings

Legend is, he was so drunk he didn't remember this performance.

I like yours. You put it up on the whole screen. You can see the sweat dripping off. This was normal to us. By this time, 86, He had perfected his solos. He was the best.

Eddie was at his best on the 5150 tour.

wow
