    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. Watch this Video Interview and you'll see why we're hurting so much...The world is a little less bright without King Edward This is a brilliant interview if you haven’t seen it th-cam.com/video/yb26D8bBZB8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Z%C3%B3caloPublicSquare
    most people don’t know the King Edward was a bi-racial half Asian / half white Immigrant and that his lifelong friends were the black kids who stood up for them when they came to the US. A definitive American Dream story.
    Eddie played the solo on Michael Jackson’s Beat it, re-arranged it so it sounded more ‘Rock’ and introduced Michael to a wider audience for free.
    Eddie buried Dimebag Darrell from Pantera with his original Bumblebee Guitar when Dime’s life partner Rita asked him to make a Copy Ed said “an Original deserves an Original”
    Vinnie Paul ( Pantera ) Dimebag’s brother says the last words his brother said to him was Van f+*in Halen’ their nightly ritual before hitting the stage.
    He gave Jerry Cantrell 5150 Stacks after touring with Alice In Chains and the last concert he went to was TOOL and a TOOL fan asked him to take a picture of the fan in front of Tool’s stage and he did, The fan had no idea who Ed was and Ed was chill with it.
    Frank Zappa loved and respected Eddie and got him to teach Dweezil who was obsessed with ED When Frank died Ed was THE 1st first to call with condolences and to offer any assistance.
    He did the same for Chris Cornell Guitarist Pete Thorn when Chris Passed
    He got Allan Holdsworth signed to Warner to introduce Allan to a wider audience
    He was the 1st to mod his guitars in such an extreme way chasing tone, Creating the Super Strat - Humbuckers in Strat style guitars, Waxing Pickups, Variac on his amp and did his first 2 albums with the original Fender Whammy which led to the creation of the Floyd Rose
    Whammy Bar.
    Les Paul Said Ed, him & Leo Fender are the only guys who know how to make guitars
    His 5150 Amp is still THE go to amp and sound of Modern metal, Gojira use the EVH 5150
    His Rhythm Playing was funky, tasteful and rockin’ and his songwriting is the reason his loss is affecting grandparents, parents, kids and all ethnicities alike as Van Halen songs will live forever.
    He bravely and quietly fought cancer for 20 years
    Enjoy EVH th-cam.com/video/L9r-NxuYszg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Hazardteam

    Thanks for sharing! If you have a second, we recorded an Eddie Van Halen tribute video. As fellow music lovers, we'd love if you would take a listen. It's on our channel. Don't go too hard on us :)

    Do you fact check your guest?

      Boom 00 yeah this story is a little different every time he tells it. On opie this guy said ed showed up to bowling and asked “who’s the comedian.” This time ed was a huge fan who was dying to meet him.

      Your really stocking Gass. I’ve seen your posts on a couple of different forms. Are you the “skank” Ed refereed to?

      I have heard the same story on every interview this guy has been on about meeting and living in the studio. The guy who was his fan was a guy who worked for Eddie named Manny that like him.

      Yes I’m the skank. A woman calling another woman a skank must live under a bridge & is good with someone referring to her as a skank. I wish you well. If you listen to some of Craig’s new interviews the story is heading toward the truth. Not a full retraction “yet” FYI Listen up. Good stuff. Do the right thing Craig!

    I know it's about respect, but comparing Eddie to Hendrix is like comparing Tyson to a random WWE guy.... Edward Van Halen was an innovator to the likes we may never say again... and now his watch has ended....

    You cannot compare EVH to Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix was not worthy to restring Eddie’s guitars.

    Jimi Hendrix could not compare to EDWARD.
