I’ve recently unearthed this vintage interview I conducted with the late, great Edward Van Halen.
These tapes were the basis for Chapter Eight: “Women and Children but First the ‘Bursts (December 13th-17th, 1979) in my new book TONECHASER: UNDERSTANDING EDWARD - MY 26- YEAR JOURNEY WITH EDWARD VAN HALEN”.
For those interested in “TONECHASER” please check my Instagram account ( / steve.rosen.guitar.picks ) and my first pinned post-with full directions on how to buy-as well as the link in my Instagram bio, as well (linktr.ee/steverosenguitarpicks).
Still have questions regarding ordering the book? Please email at me scrosen@sbcglobal.net and I’ll get back to you fellow Tonechasers with a reply. Thanks so much. - Steve

Hearing him play so casually...it feels like hes in my living room..

You can hear the strength in that left hand when Ed's just noodling and playing examples. The tone just exploded off the fretboard.

It's amazing to hear the inner thoughts of a genius. I'm hanging on every word. I could listen to this for days and I don't play guitar, just respect it. RIP EVH

These recordings are both amazing to listen to and at the same time make me sad, so I guess in a word - bittersweet. I mark specific events and periods of my life with songs from this man. Hearing, in his own words, the intimate details of the creation of these classics takes me back to that amazing era. Thank you for bringing these recordings to us Mr. Rosen.

Listening to Ed sniffling makes me want to do some blow 1980 what a year it was cheap & pure and everyone was doing it.

Love hearing the Floyd 'PINGS' behind the nut & hearing all the sounds from 'TORA TORA' played forwards instead of BACKWARDS like on the finished record.

Did Steven just say to Ed--'Do you wanna packet of PEANUTS' ?. Meanwhile ED hammers strings on his pickup sounding like a heartbeat...Giving him a preview of Romeo Delight....Kind of SURREAL stuff going on here....lol

The ESP bond! They most certainly had it. Steve, I already commented once, but this is golden. Thank goodness you recorded and salvaged these tapes. I can't imagine a world without them!! You will be a hero in the history books! I wish Edward was still here to sit down and listen to them with you. Of course, he probably wouldn't have, but I'm imaging the laughs you two would've had. 🥰

Interesting to hear EVH say it was Al who didn’t want him playing piano during their live shows at this time - not DLR, who was anti-piano later on, according to EVH. Thanks for sharing 👍

@davenathan5347 2 ай бұрын

Yeah, that caught me as well. I have a feeling that Al probably sided with Dave a lot early on, but eventually acquiesced to support Ed.
