Totally agree!

Well said and your last sentiment I wholeheartedly appreciate. Lost A LOT of respect for Valerie since Ed’s death.

@@fab.silva1119 AND, in his last wishes, just yesterday. . .it was revealed that Edward contributed a 7 figure sum to the Mr. Holland's Opus organization, in order for kids to have access to musical instruments. Damn, good ole Edward showed yet again that " music overpowers bullshit. "

Matt Resnicoff really pissed off Ed, he mentioned him by name in another interview about how much Matt pissed him off.

@@MrUltraworld Agreed. The good news was, after that 1991 interview happened, Resnicoff interviewed Frank Zappa where Frank ( pretty much ) put Matt in his place, in terms of the nasty effect of music " journalists " have toward innovative musicians. I found out later ( back in 1993 ) after THAT interview, Resnicoff resigned from writing and became a full time musician.

@@Jedizen07 I miss Frank so much.

!!!!

Ed was a very naughty human b4 he was killed &cloned. He was removing thdemons Satan gave 2all us idiots. Ed was my best friend back in LA he gave me thtruth. *Why Ed copied my FrankenFlo* There is not gonna be a revolution honestly sell yr guitars u will go broke keeping (damned) thingz. Satans kids control all manufacturing they a damned race. Put 2 & 2 2gether they arent guitars they a goose chase moneygrab &yes Satans kids DO need money they demons in flesh bodies like 2live high life. (They dont know they demons.) Fret wear: Not my take it's reality. Guitars meticulously exhaustively engineered 2sap yr spirit be hard2play wear out, harvest money = GOOSE CHASE. Eds guitar was dffrnt but HE HAD 2MAKE IT HIMSELF. I also taught Graem Osbree how 2break wrld hour record. Satan wouldnt build rhbikes. Graeme made thbike, every1 copied it. 30 guyz began destroying hour record. Yahweh showed us Reptilian angels control all manufacturing& showed us Mike Pence raping babies drinking their adrenachrome 300 *&%$ing babies a year. U dont have presidents they devils these creatures not u friend. I built a guitar ground up just now. ONLY (durable) guitar is ridiculously easy play best guitar in thworld by far = thnew epicentre it vastly exceed my expect. Did u notice thCrickets? Not 1 thumbs up. I told u Satans computer wont let this info get out. We lost in heavens court 2Satan bcuz u guyz 5stared his You Tube creators &subbed his pandemics &phony war& vaccines. Yah calls vaccines PURE POISON. Ed made super NARROW necks later on that ET couldnt play stating easier 2play? Huh? That was thcloned Ed saying that. Satan killed the original. Satan stopped using Ed when i sold my guitar 1988. Ed was a human. Satan used him2 try hide me. Satan hates humans, cuz they breathe life in2 yr soul. His Plasticines DRAIN yr chakras. In Noahs day only 8 SOULS remained human. He HATED having 2use Ed. He was forced 2do it cuz i was playing@ thtime. I am his replacement in function. He scared of (me.) Few of u have ever met a human. 95% earth = TARE RACE. Demons hive mind computer controlled by Satan ALL demons digital. Satan has memory eraser downloader. Thats why u all have a boss. Boss = your steering wheel. Lol u dont get 2touch it. Have fun with that. Satan always takes more then he gives. He has 2keep all of his kids chipped they have no free will (steering wheel). Why us older crowd had bloody noses in the 70's. Satans grey aliens putting chips in our nose. Satan is using COVID 19 nose swabs now cuz we killed all thgreys. COV = Covertly ID = IDENTIFIED (I.D.) 19 = 1st, 9th letter alphabet. "A" & "I" code 4Artificial Intelligence. Lol pandemic fake there is black goo/diseases in thvaccines turning u in2 satanic robots (DNA modeling) (pure evil computer chips Satan got in thdark universe) If u buy guitar YOU BOUGHT THEIR PRODUCT. Satans BEAST computer is advanced he can hack reality = thmatrix we live in. If u buy a guitar be like Ed or ME. Be like NEO. A movie Satan made about me. I built a 3.5 ton quartz crystal orgone generator with NEO dynium magnets. (In heaven everything run with crystals magnets.) My orgone (generates Yahwehs life force) generator is the white horse rider of revelation = fire burning Satans dimension. (Computer program) My Frank MUCH superiour to Eds. How so? Example. Your low e string Satan made ultra fat. MY low e is same size as smaller string beside it. (.032) isnt muddy in thmix much easier crisp 2play &hear& tap action set MUCH lower. My high e? Same saize string next 2 IT. (.011) (Makes it sound much louder bcuz Satan gives u teeny string so u cant hear it properly, taps2 quiet etc. Breathe wrong it breaks u will spend 15 -20k strings a lifetime. Satan uses massive bass increase guitar/neck tension2insane levels vs my tremelo much easier bend. Action super easy low. Satan standard tune raises my heart rate. LITERALLY i use EB tune. These factors put MUCH less strain guitar/trem/hardware. Resonates with reality. (Earth vibration 432kz.) It matters unless u read satans bllsht google. Human voice resonates with eb flat. Ask any singer. They tell u. You press MUCH LESS on fret. Your guitars a nightmare. If u play HALF A DAY u FRETS HAVE LONG VERTICAL LINES &shiny flat spots unwound stringz. I use softer string alloys. Van halen copied my guitar in only 2, 3 repects. My new Frank I changed dozens of thingz. Primarily his original FIRST Frank neck was wider thenANY neck made 2day. His radius was around 17 or 20. (Frets were very FLAT.) Made it easier play. Stainless frets last 4ever? U funny guy. So was Ed. Lol Satans boys gave Ed stainless alloy spiced on 95% brass. These factories are serpents. Literally Reptilan Angels run. U will spend 15 - 30k on stringz in 50 years. 50 years is not that long. Lol i designed floyd rose so u couldloosen reclamp stringz. Lol Floyd duznt even know that neither did Ed. Ed nowhere near on my level. Lol stringz dont oxidize or wear out whatsoever. Sound a tad dffrnt new, so what? Not better. Just dffrnt. I have had enuff i will see if i sell even 1 guitar ebay &I am getting rid of all this stuff i had enuff. No humans or common sense left. I hereby signing out. 98% you tube not humans. The demons in human bodies Yahweh calls Plasticines. We were sent 2make a dffrnce. Sadly u all chose Satans "creators" He named them that 2mock u cuz u sit at their poison feet like they gods. I have a Van Halen stainless fret stage guitar lol thfrets with huge dents& i dont even play very much 5 years. Honestly its a goose chase wallet drain frets can easily last 2lifetimes. 1 last thing. I am worlds best guitarist. I quit playing 25 years ago. Then i played only 3 years 8 hour days. We dont have that kind of time. Time is money u have 2have millions2 afford 2not work but ONLY PLAY 5 years minimum 2get good. My 5 amps &speakers BROKE IN 5 YEARS. MY Wolfgang shot 2 hell. The electronics shot. Bucketheads guitars also, his electrinics go out regularly he has been selling his guitars. I lived near Buck &Ed 35 years they wr friends both avatars Satan used 2whitewash me. Living on 3k a year my only hope is pull out selling it. Manufactures wont dare ask see prototype. They corrupt. I give blueprints free any1 every1 whoever ask... Lol not even 1person will. Well other then Edward &Floyd did. This was written ealier I am still cmpleteing thguitar thousands of guitarists &corrupt companies have already read this. I will be doing a cmplete in depth follow up in a few days. Ed had a rambo these are my marbles not your side 2him. I call it deer antler syndrome. The old matrix is over guyz. Satan is gone. Yahweh is now ruling midst of his enemies je has had enuff he flipping thtables &turning thchairs over. There is no money or pattents or fences or copyrights in heaven I'll go out of business in a heartbeat 2see that my neighbor gets an optimum product.

@@TOPMOSTPOP ok

@@TOPMOSTPOP 🤔🙄😳🤐

Who was abused? Sauce Sobeleski?

@@miked9112 There was a story in Noel Monk’s book ‘Running with the Devil’ where as VH’s manager on the road he witnessed DLR being cruel to Mike….Noel Monk claimed that the band were sitting down having a meal and somebody said something about Mike and Roth just got up, walked around the table giving Mike an aggressive look ,,,stood over him at the table and then deliberately dropped his plate which he was holding crashing onto Mike’s plate and unfinished meal. There was a hell of a crash…..Noel Monk claimed that Mike just stood up,,,looked Roth in the eye but silently walked away out of the room. He didn’t rise to it to his credit. But Mike possibly might have felt intimidated by DLR because he had studied martial art…What Mikey should have done was learned Bruce Lee’s martial art of JKD (jeet Kune do) …Totally economic, no wasting time , distance or energy, longest weapon, nearest decisive target.,,Cut right thru Roth’s uneconomic baton twirling display martial art…A good guy like Mike if he’d learned JKD would have taught bullies like Roth a lesson …..Groin kick decisive strike . Kick Roth’s CROTACKES into THE STRATOSPHERE….DLR would be singing the VH songs in Sammy’s vocal range then….Poor ED took a lot of sh*t from Roth too…and right now in these recent song lyrics he’s released the bully is at it again…By setting someone up calling them ugly things which they aren’t.

Also Eds fretting techniques were heavy handed. His fingertips can be heard thumping the fretboard in Spanish Fly and Take Your Whiskey Home amongst others

20:00 ...I cant take no more.

I agree his hands were amazing

Spot on

Yes! I found it a sliver of it in The Pasadena Civic Show. I think Oct 77

Yes he does! Thanks for watching!

Eddie started smoking at 12 years old. You're writing a book on Eddie and don't know this stuff?

I appreciate this video though and I know you don't know everything about Eddie like I like to think that I do.

There was a lot of complexity there for sure. It was extremely rare for him to do organized events. I think your correct, he had horrible public appearances experiences and they were so often not sober. So you might could draw the conclusion that he disliked that organized attention so much, that his solution was not being sober. To the contrary, you hear his one on one interactions to be perceived as mostly positive and mostly sober. So there was definitely a level of high anxiety associated with the extreme attention of being “Eddie Van Halen” that I think he tried to curb by drinking. He said early on his father gave him his first drink to calm him. This was the theme for booze his entire life imo. He was using it to relax, but then as so often happens it got messy. Once sober and in the right situation “The Smithsonian” he was able to embrace his fans and fame. It’s hard to explain, but he was as at ease as I ever saw him with fans at that event. The love and respect we were able to finally express, I think he took to heart.

Huh???
