People need to realize that at this point, Ed was really on his way to being gone for good. If he hadnt gotten help in '07, we probably wouldve lost him before 2010. Only Wolfgang could get thru to Ed. He loved Wolf more than his own addictions, thank God. On another note, when Ed was talking about how great Wolfie was in this interview, I remember thinking at that time "yea, right. Just another father who's bragging about his kid." Years later, in 2021, I started seeing that Ed wasnt just bragging. He was absolutely serious!

Yes he was it was so cool how great a father Eddie was! Valerie and Eddie really brought up their son very well obviously we have no clue what they did but obviously it was a pretty normal upbringing but Eddie was closer to his son then most fathers get he brought him everywhere, he had his so join his band. I remember some comedian was talking about how Eddie came bowling one night and the one guy the comedian was with said do u care if Eddie brings his son? And he said dude it’s bowling of of course he can bring his son but what I’m getting at is when a bunch of 40 something year old guys go out together they always want to be alone just the guys but Eddie brought his son with him because he absolutely loved his son so much they were best friends. I know it might not sound like a big deal Eddie bringing his son bowling with Eddie’s friends but that little stuff is what makes kids have a much better childhood all the little things like that not just leaving the kids home. I got a ton of friends that will go out so much you will forget they even have kids, guys that have no money they spend what little money they have going to the bar then when u go to their houses their kids have no toys and the ones they have are junk, their kids ask for a go cart or something like that and they don’t have the money to buy a go cart but they have the money to buy parts for their race cars or whatever hobbies they have. My daughter was born 3 years ago, I’ve wanted to buy a project car to build because I now have a shop at my house with a lift and everything I need to build a project car but If I bought a project car I would be dumping a ton of money into the car and I would feel guilty if my daughter wanted or needed something and couldn’t do it for her because I spent my money on a car. I remember I was at a friend of mines house working on his project car and his son asked to join little league and he told his son he couldn’t afford it so maybe next year. It was only 300 bucks and in just the past month he spent a few grand on that car I felt so bad for that kid if I were him I would have sold or returned the stuff I just bought for the car so he could go to little league screw the car u can always buy a car you can’t go back in time and let ur kid go to little league. When I was a kid I didn’t ask for much I really didn’t and I didn’t have much all I wanted was a dirt bike and I never got one and to this day I think back about how I never got one and all the fun I missed out on. I didn’t want anything to do with sports, toys, video games none of that all I wanted was a dirt bike I would have spent all my time doing that. My daughter is 3 and when we go shopping she picks stuff up and puts it back down she doesn’t try to make me buy everything but every couple weeks she will pick something out that she really REALLY wants and i will get it for her because I want to make her happy and I tell her if ur a good girl I don’t have a problem buying it, you can’t let ur kids think they can get whatever they want they need to know they are getting something because they have been a good girl/boy. I just wanted to say a few things about kids and hopefully some people will read this and treat their kids better and not be selfish and realize the day their kids were born was the day life is not about u anymore it’s about ur kids!

This was the era where he starting to come out of his 10 year binge......the dark years. He was very ingracious in this era. Idk - probably feeling some sense in protecting his own legacy plus guitar based music had just died a very unceremonious and quick death. A tense era for a lot of legacy bands. If you read his interview in guitar world magazine 1981 he was incredibly complimentary of the same people he's sort of indifferent to here. And he couldn't speak enough about Alan Holdsworth back then. A HUGE fan of him. But 1960's Clapton was his #1 guitar inspiration and he didn't hide it back then. The 2000's era EVH would have you believe he came to the guitar with zero inspiration like he was guitar mana from heaven. I do not like the 97 - 07 EVH. He started coming out of it when he met and was involved with his 2nd wife, who must be a Saint doing what she did for him. And she never used her husband's fame to spur any kind of publicity for herself. To my knowledge, she put out one tweet after his death and that is all. In the end, EVH got it all back together again and had 10 pretty good years even while fighting cancer again. And somewhere in there he had a motorcycle crash. Living life. Very awful he is gone. The world is a better.place because of him.

Hendrix was playing one of the thinnest sounding guitars at the time and it was hard to push the front of the amp hard enuf to break up and distort. the single coil pickup in the bridge was only in the 5k range witch is a low amount of resistance compared to a Gibson paf humbucker at 7.5- 8.0. so Hendrix used a big muff or a fuzz face to push the amps, along with a vox whaawhaa pedal. Eddie simply took the Gibson paf from the bridge of his old 335 and routed a space for mounting it in the bridge of his strat body and made history...and wen i was about 14-15 years old wen i made my own franken caster with my dads parts collection..lol it followed the same basic blue prints..lol

You can say all you want about Sammy singing 100x better than anybody, but he can't write for shit! He's always been a lyrical hack! That's why the Hagar-lovers always focus on the voice and never the lyrics.

It angers me that til the day he died , Eddie told the truth about Sam quitting . Sam wasn't fired . He even said so himself . In the VH3 album promo issue of THE INSIDE MAGAZINE , Alex Eddie AND Mike said he quit . In the individual interview with Mike , Mike was told by the reporter that Sam told the reporter he didn't want to do the greatest hits album .

Never liked Stern. If your remove the sexual inappropriate comments Stern is infamous for ( not famous, infamous, big difference ) Stern would be as dry as a sand sandwich and nothing special at all. If his name was Smith he would be the guy valeting your car at the local mall in Kansas City.

Meanwhile, 14 years later... In 2019, when I moved into my current apartment, I inadvertently hung my mini frankestrat over my bedroom window, and next to it a religious cross. On October 6, 2020, I'm in tears and looked up...realizing then just why I had done that. Back on July 16th, 1981, I saw VH in New Haven promoting Fair Warning. During one of Dave's onstage blathering, Ed was at his rack of equipment having a smoke. I'm right at that side of the stage, I yell, "EDWARD VAAN HEYYLAAN!!"...he whirls around, gave me that famous grin, and threw the cigarette at me. Awesome! (sadly, that was the day Harry Chapin died in his VW on the Long Island Expressway; we heard it on the radio on the way to the show)

A direct quote from Sammy Hagar's book "Eddie also told Hagar how he cured his tongue cancer. “He told me he cured himself by having pieces of his tongue liquified and injected into his body,” Hagar wrote. “He also told me when he had his hip replacement, he stayed awake through the operation and helped the doctors drill a hole." Is this true?? Who knows! I loved Eddie...

I'm 63 I was one of the greatest Hendrix fans of all time I play guitar and I have to say that Eddie Van Halen is the greatest rock guitarist of all time Bar None. Why? Because Eddie never stoled one lick from Jimi Hendrix. Eddie is a complete original that went far beyond Jimmy. If Jimi ever seen Eddie play guitar he would have thrown his in the garbage and probably shot himself in the head. That's how great Eddie Van Halen is

Eddie might have been more technical on the guitar playing than Hendrix but they both had their own styles and they were both G'd D'm good at making an electric guitar sing. Like Clapton, SRV and all the rest- you can't compare one to the other. It's all an art. One's man's treasure is another man's garbage.

As I listen to this, I noticed that Stern was "prodding" Eddie to divulge his life, ...how many women he has banged, the erotic film, pushing Eddie to badmouth DLR and Mike.... NOTHING. The only thing Eddie did was defend himself over all the gossip...as Stern pushed the money situation and that Val got a huge settlement, Eddie said NOTHING. EVH a real class act that will be very difficult for anyone to follow.

Eddie sounds pretty delusional here. I mean, he was always very insecure and unsure of who he was. You have to know thyself. "Smoking didn't cause my cancer," "people call me a drug addict but they do drugs and I don't anymore." Ok. He went back into rehab about a year after this. Ed was one of the greatest musicians, not just guitarists, but musicians to ever live. But he was a drunk, and trouble follows drunks wherever they go.
