Thank you for such a wonderful and heartfelt tribute to our King Edward. The Missus woke me up crying and for the entire day we couldn’t listen to a note of King Edward without the waterworks comin’ - so many good times with his music -it felt weird We found watching interviews with him and other kind folks like yourself paying tribute to Eddie makes it somewhat easier to bear. We literally had a day of intensely mourning. It might sound daft but Ed’s playing and attitude is hugely responsible for inspiring me to be the person I am. There’s a Bad Religion ( Punk Band ) Lyric that says it al “ Everyone you love leaves a mark on your soul, The world is a little less bright without King Edward Im fighting cancer and depression and its been especially tough with the news of Eddie’s passing but hearing all these wonderful tributes and reaction and the love and joy he brought and is bringing….makes it a tad bit easier Much love and respect! Thank you for honouring our King Edward. Eddie's music touched us so deeply because of his love for the instrument and the innovations he has done. To us, it feels like the brightest and best brother, Uncle, friend mentor you ever had is not in our realm anymore. You have Nothing but love from the rock/metal / guitarist community, respect for your tribute to EVH, Rock n Metal does not get the exposure and respect that other genres get. So, you are forever in the hearts of many a Rock / Metal / Guitar fan's hearts. Stay safe & all the best wishes to you.

Absolutely love Stevie, and he nails how most of us feel about Eddie, it's painful to know he's gone, even though we haven't heard much from VH in the last 20 years, when you put any VH record on today, it's still fresh.
EDDIE VAN HEAVEN!!!! Ya know....I think the phrase Guitar hero was really coined after EVH....He is/was the ultimate guitar god....his sound, the paint job on his guitar...the fact that he combined/crafted pieces of a Gibson and fender guitar by hand to create that brown sound....there are peices of the electric guitar and amplication that exists only because of his innovative musical mind....get it? yes he's that important to the Rock n Roll world...and anyone that looked at the electric guitar with awe... Great tribute guys, thank you
great interview, Stevie. Nice to hear your thoughts on Eddie. You and I traded e-mails some years ago. I mentioned that I am longtime friends with Lonnie Hillyer, who played bass with you for a bit. I am also longtime friends with Tom Feeley, who I believe you know as well. I once asked TM Stevens if you might play a gig in New York sometime and I think he said that you weren't going to come here. You're one guy I have yet to see that I would love to see playing. Anyway, thanks for the interview and keep on rockin'!
Thanks for your great insight. I've been watching Eddie interviews thanks to the internet and he was a very smart person, very good storyteller and like a teacher. Funny as hell too, but you can see he is serious about making music so people have fun. That smile, rebel smile kind of!!!
Truly sad but Eddie will be honored. EVH is such a ground breaking guitarist and a wonderful musician. As a guitarist for book trailers about comics who's influenced by Van Halen, I wish Eddie a hymn while missing his presence that inspires.
EVH inspired 2 generations of guitar players....let that sink in. 2 GENERATIONS. And now with his passing, and so many young ppl are now discovering and learning about EVH and what he accomplished, you can change that number to 3 generations in the very near future.
I do agree that Eddie changed music like Hendrix but so did kurt Cobain when he came out with that grunge sound. I heard Eddie say tone and sound is what its all about.
@@Chris-is1rd l heard all the grunge bands before but kurt was the one that opened the door for grunge. That's why he changed music plus he was alot better than mudhoney and the other bands at that time . Even soundgarden admits that.🤏🍀
Eddie was way more eventful and he changed the electric guitar and modern music in all its many forms and how to play it way more than Hendrix and even Les Paul. Because because he was a master at all the genres that he wanted from Rock ,Hard RockBlues,Country And even some of the Jazz inflections that interested him . His showman ship was second to none,Not Hendrix ,Paul, Clapton, nor Beck ,nor SRV. EVH invented so much on stage, videos, CD's, and live shows. He wrote,music, lyrics, expanded styles and so much more. Hendrix was great at what he did ,but he didn't excel at all the vast amount of things EVH did, as a musician ,entertainer (This is where Hendrix equaled EVH, But not surpassed everyone else.EVH however managed to equal or surpass anyone, everyone in almost all areas of Music.Eddie Van Halen had better technique, more expansive knowledge base, he was faster and more inventive stylistically than Hendrix or about anyone that came before him . We will miss him, his fire and inventive guitar abilities for many, many years to come. We are fortunate to have lived in the best years of guitar playing from Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Eddie Van Halen ,Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and the many many inventive, masterful and exquisite Guitarists (too many to list here.)
He was awesome but he really didn't Leave a Mark like Eddie did,(I Loved Stevie), there's been thousands of guitar players that wanted to be like Eddie
Thanks for sharing! If you have a second, we posted an Eddie Van Halen tribute video. As fellow music fans, we'd love if you would take a listen. It's on our page. Don't be too tough on us :)
This is the best interview/story so far I've watched about Eddie's death and life

I loved this. Thank you for taking the time to talk about your times with the GOAT.
Great interview. Steve nailed how so many of us think and feel about King Edward, the guitar hero’s guitar hero. 👍😎🔥

One of the nicest memoriams that I have seen. Sums it up how he changed things.
EDDIE VAN HEAVEN!!!!

I would have given you an Emmy for Rumble. I LOVE that documentary. Very well done

7:07: This is all you need to know about rock guitarists after Van Halen I was released in 1978
Truly sad but Eddie will be honored. EVH is such a ground breaking guitarist and a wonderful musician. As a guitarist for book trailers about comics who's influenced by Van Halen, I wish Eddie a hymn while missing his presence that inspires.
Yes thank you for this interview he speaks in a truce of tone thank you very much
The fact of an underrated rocker, does an totally awesome 80's flick/based on Van Halens guitar untunage is just too sweet
Thank you for this great interview and memories of Eddie Van Halen..RIP..He was so awesome!! I'm so sad he's gone...
I agree with him 100 %
steve is a cool dude, blessed to have known edward and being a guitarist in life.
Steve Salas is a UNDERRATED GENIUS! r.i.p E.V.H.
Atta boy Stevie ! He is playing at the pour house Friday July 22 Oceanside !RIP Eddie ❤️

Spanish Fly was his real power moment on top of Eruption.
Long live Eddie van halen 2021🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘
I do agree that Eddie changed music like Hendrix but so did kurt Cobain when he came out with that grunge sound. I heard Eddie say tone and sound is what its all about.
If you think Cobain invented the "grunge" sound, you weren't listening to anything before Nirvana
@@Chris-is1rd l heard all the grunge bands before but kurt was the one that opened the door for grunge. That's why he changed music plus he was alot better than mudhoney and the other bands at that time . Even soundgarden admits that.🤏🍀
"eddie, get down!" omg that is priceless

I was introduced to Stevie through his band color code, opening for Joe satriani 1990
I knew I recognized that name - me too, in Portland 👍🤘
Let alone the discography of VH, affecting so many
What about stevie ray Vaughn
He was awesome but he really didn't Leave a Mark like Eddie did,(I Loved Stevie), there's been thousands of guitar players that wanted to be like Eddie
💃I Luv you SS!! 💖💋Donna
Then RR fans would say ... “ Randy is better if he didn’t die” .... Randy would be too 100 best for hard rock and maybe top 900 for classical.
Chuck Berry bro 😎 came before all the cats you mentioned sir
Rip Eddie
genius.
Kmet hell yeah 🤘🤘🤘🤘
RIP RUDY S.

I would argue Allan Holdsworth should be included.
