    Eddie Van Halen cannot finish Cathedral and finishes with Eruption. Not sure what happened, seems like he is blaming the delay but it sounds like its still working

    Wow. When Eddie dipped into Eruption, he came in with a fury of a typhoon. There will never be anyone quite like Eddie. I still can’t believe he is gone. He’s hands down the biggest influence on my own playing. When VH 1 came out it made me almost quit. lol I’d been playing a few years and was getting Cream and Zeppelin numbers down fairly well. I hear Eruption and go...well if this is the new bar then I’m out. Lol But I kept listening and became very inspired. I was always chasing that tone and his unmatched feel. His phrasing, attack, and dexterity was a thing of pure legend. R.I.P. Eddie forever the GOAT 🎸🙏

      Randy's fucking solos are simple to play I could play them after playing three years. Eddie's an improviser and a composer he could write songs around Randy any day of the week Randy could not write songs Quiet Riot songs suck ass only time Randy songs came into fruition with when Bob daisley was writing with him and Bob daisley was the main component of that songwriting team so you're ignorant and don't know shitt

    In a weird way, I appreciate when things don’t work right in a live show. I don’t care about perfection and it makes the music feel more alive and crafted and organic. I know most musicians would cringe at such an idea, and it’s hard to articulate what I mean, but if we wanted perfect duplication, we’d just play the tape in the car and be done with it. I think working around something like this gets even more mad respect from myself, and cheer them on like they’re a lion tamer getting that beast to perform.

You know the long dropping sound at the beginning of" Runnin With The Devil" is a Ford pinto car horn? David came in with that whistle and shrieks intertwined with Eddie's spine tingling guitar. After I heard that album for the first time, my life changed. Seriously. I envy you, Steppe.

    Whatever it was that caused the problem also caused Eddie to go back into the solo hotter than he usually is. He's played essentially the same solo since the late 80's and it was little things like this that added a different spark sometimes.
