Checking in here, reading Brothers. Love this interview 🤘🏼

Thank you for sharing this video I don't see how anyone will ever forget Eddie saw in 79 right after Van Helan 2 dropped 79 great show and great memories

The intro to Women In Love wasn't just natural harmonics or even artificial harmonics but they had been officially named "tap on harmonics" sometime in the early to mid eighties I believe by Cherry Lane Music who published Guitar For The Practicing Musician magazine.

To be a fly on the wall. Amazing!

It sounds like Ed enjoyed teaching guitar. Probably your enthusiasm fueled it as well.😁👍 What an awesome life experience.. ❤

Steve's story with Ed is so mind blowing. It seems two good souls found each other.

Shooting the shit, playing guitar and doing bumps with EVH. What a time

Listening to this, I'm still amazed at Edward's sense of touch. It really feels like the guitar and his soul were interconnected. Most of this audio proves that Edward's touch was golden ( especially the totally clean picking parts ). You can tell that the tone of his guitar playing was centralized from his touch. The man could plug into any amp and, more than likely, still sound like Edward Van Halen. Great video ( and audio! ).

Those had to be some great times Steve for sure. Not many can say they sat around and just talked and played guitar with Ed.

Steve always has the coolest stories. Having visited the Weepah house back in the day, Steve's narrative brings those incredible days back to life! A really neat interview!

Sammy era is so much better

So lip-smacking 😅

How far away is qfa get any harm when he was playing I was just trying to play my guitar and I ended up going into a video with them didn't mean to you so I apologize again

That's my email brother

How are you doing tonight

awesome

Any correlation to Come Closer by Chickenfoot?

Brilliant little chat Steve, Adam & Chris. 3 of my favourite human beings in one place.. beautiful. And the authors of the two best books on Edward. And what a gem of information in this chat. Loves and peace from Down Under 💜🙏

Can I go back and forth all up and down the neck like crazy and for different sounds different different tones and everything to do to see how it stands out if you watch the Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Texas flood and the the Voodoo Child and give me Hendrix Voodoo Child you know what I'm talking about

When I play my guitar I play it like I'm the one singing I let my fingers sing the words but not my mouth so when I when I play the guitar it basically I run my fingers through the strings like it's kind of freaking each letter of it and just spell just say the word I don't know how to explain it

They said I have songs out with BB King theory on and Audrey and some other people but I haven't got no recognition on any of it

I played Stairway to Heaven as well with it but I was just going along with the with the interview with the guitar I didn't know that it was going to bleed into the actual actual sound of it

Hey, my guitar playing the talking guitar I can play Jimi Hendrix I can play all the above just put on something you'll see it talk without an amp on my end

Name of Jason d u g h r i d g e if you guys need to know my name

See my brother passed away 6 months ago so I've been playing can you play the heck of a lot of my guitar everyday

Well if you put on a song and let me and cam with it with you guys doing what you're doing now you understand what is being done without having any other questions that's one thing I can do but to let you know that if you want to be done if you like what I'm doing if you want to pursue anything with me that would be great if not I understand but I can make it easy

I'm not trying to get anything out of it but if there is anything to be done about I just want to be basically just making sure you guys are happy with what has been done and other than that I'm good I might not have a lot of things in life but I do have my self-respect and taking something for somebody when it was a total accident would be a piece of s*** and I am not a piece of s*** so I hope everything works out

I started with BB King and I went down to Stevie Ray Vaughan and then I was playing in Texas flood and the next thing you know everybody wanted to review it and then all of a sudden Van Halen came on and I started playing along with them not thinking it was good of affected anything but I really started affecting a lot so I'm confused as much as anybody else but I'm more than happy to demonstrate what you need to be need to show and it happened

What it is you put on a guitar song and I have a app on my phone which is a Valium booster and that's all I put on there and I play my guitar but does the amp and it puts my sound on to the amp itself I guess

Is the acoustic guitar that I have that got broken but I play the E string a lot up and down the neck to get those certain sounds that you don't get on a lot of the other chords so I don't know what you mean by the other part of it but I was in the gym and it sounded like

Hey bro if I had any part of it I apologize I was just playing my guitar that night I wasn't trying to jump into anything and if I did it wasn't meant to it's just a part of life and when you have to listen to the music to play the music but I'm sorry if I did anything to disrespect you

In Steve’s 1996 interview with Edward called ‘Eruptions’ wasn’t this song here a source of an argument about opening lyrics for it between Edward and Glen Ballard on one side and Sammy on the other ? ….Didn’t Edward say to Sammy -‘Sam, Glen has got some great lyrics going here ,,just try to go with them.’ A Dark Side of the Moon type vibe which went -‘ I want to touch your soul and get to know you’ ….‘But Sammy wanted to change the lyric to daft sh*t like’ - ‘I CAN’T SEE YOUR DIAMOND RING THROUGH YOUR SHINING STAR’ 🤔😖…Apparently Ed said -‘Sammy, these lyrics are as daft as ‘WHAM,BAM AMSTERDAM’ …Just follow Glen’s ideas. And Sammy got angry and said -‘I’m off to Hawaii, bugger this crap. I have a plane to catch’ …And Sammy walked out of 5150 studios feeling very angry…. I seem to remember in Steve’s interview something like that. This was in 1996 around the time of the Twister film soundtrack …That was when the great ‘Van Hagar’ era came to an end. (Paul)

Omg. I need more of this content!

Thank you for uploading this 🙏

I was a huge fan of Cherone with Van Halen. And his version of between us two is the only version with vocals, I’m interested in hearing.

Sorry this isn’t a big deal. I think it’s sad Alex releases something from 20 years ago? He and Ed didn’t do anything on tape in the last decade worthy of release. Also, Alex’s book was void of anything any die hard fan hadn’t heard before, 200 pages a pretty pathetic effort.

Makes a lot of sense too. The tone sounds very "Balance-Era"

We are all so little to have lived on this earth with Ed From start to finish And you know there will be unreleased songs hopefully put into a CD or a box it down the road the dude had so many tapes

God bless you Brian for just being so humble and so true, not many people who can do that. 🙏🎹

Where can I find your audiobook?

Tremendous guys. Appreciate y’all. This is history.

Brilliant work guys. I've been waiting to hear Between Us Two for over 25 years since I saw Sammy first mention it in an interview. To know that this is the instrumental version is so satisfying. Hopefully the vocal version gets released officially, or leaked unofficially ;-) one day.

This is incredible! so fun! and so cool !

Was this song released by Alex in his book a dig at Sammy knowing this was his downfall or last episode in the band?

🤘

They may have had unfinished on the list for ADKOT and maybe DLR didn’t blow them away with the lyrics either

Pretty sure I read an interview with Sammy where he stated that there's a version of Between Us Two with his vocals. I also remember an old interview with Sammy where he said Bruce Fairbairn was insisting on getting a writing credit for the song, which resulted in Eddie firing him. Sammy said it was the last major decision he and Eddie agreed on.

Thanks Mr. Steve! Cheers from Jacksonville, Florida

What was the title for the song that Gary sang? Not sure if Chris Gill mentioned that. Was Between Us Two the title Bruce Fairbern came up with?

So cool Steve!
