    It's not that Eddie gave Jason a guitar, it's that he personally delivered it and hung out. Much respect to two legends.

      @@TheNeuroticGuitarist I know, its such a special guitar though, the context behind it is pure emotion. A couple of times EVH angrily remarks "why wasnt I aware of this sooner".

    What makes me cry every time I watch this video, isnt so much about Eddie gifting him that guitar, but how Eddie showed such vulnerability physically toward Jason. His display of affection toward Jason is hard for most guys, me included. We always see Eddie the rock star, but not Eddie the mere human like the rest of us who showed such compassion, love, and humility toward Jason.

      This is the kinda crap that absolutely disgusts me! I'm from Nashville & about 20 yrs ago when they began bulldozing 90% of Old Nashville, BEFORE they built the new Convention Center & new hotels & office buildings they tore down the studio where Elvis recorded Heartbreak Hotel, among others to build a gd parking lot & NOBODY from Garth Brooks to Paul fukn McCartney could shake the lint outta their sprawing estate couches to buy the damn thing & preserve history!!! They did same with a small club on declared historic district that featured everyone from Leonard Cohen to the Ramones. Club needed less less than a $100,000 & had to hold money drives to try & save! I used to talk with Jack Lawrence, bass player for Jack Whites Raconteurs & Dead Weather when he was in town there all the time as was his #1 hangout & always there, yet he nor White could care less to help! If Wolfie can't just throw the guy a hundred grand each month wtf does that say about him?! Let alone the rest of Sam fukn Halen?! Sorry but wouldn't have to even have to ask me!!!

    It's such a damn shame that any person or family has to struggle to survive due to medical costs.
    While I'm not in that level of medical debt for my wife, its still so expensive to just cover monthly bills while still paying for the endless medical bills. Its absurd, and until someone has to go through these experiences, they'll never understand the stress and hardships it can cause.

      Very true! I'd love to see any of these rich folks deal with medical expenses with a "normal" income like the rest of us. I make darn good money and medical bills would make it seem like child's play if anything were to go wrong... It really is just shameful that America lets its citizens suffer this way when it comes to medical expenses but I don't have to tell you that...
      I truly hope things get better for you and your dear wife. I'd kill for mine in a heartbeat if I had too so I understand the dedication, love, and support you have for her.

    Hello 👋🏻 from Kelowna British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 and Happy 🎉 54th !!! Birthday 🎂 Jason Becker !!! All the best brother, I’ve always been a huge fan of your playing ! Thankyou very much for all the years of killer guitar work and also for continuing in many different ways to be a source of inspiration to us all 🤟🏻🙂👍🏻. 😊 Hello Benny, really cool of you to do this and try to help Jason, I wish I had the kind of money that he will need to get through all this I would happily pay a massive amount to own that very special guitar for a while. I am 52 and remember when he first hit the scene in the early 80’s as a new guitarist , one of my friends named Curtis ( 🕊R.I.P. ) got the Perpetual Burn album after reading about Jason as the new hot rod player on the block. We were definitely not disappointed in the least when we finally heard it ! ( I lived in a very small town so it took awhile to get new music like this into someone’s hands ) , we put it on and we were all like
    W😮W! 🤯 total facemelter 🤟🏻 mind fully blown ! what did I just hear. !!! Play That Again Immediately! 😄👍🏻. That was so Insanely Awesome! Even to this day so many years later it’s still just as incredible and it always will be ! Altitudes and Perpetual Burn are still to this day some of the greatest pcs of music ever played on a guitar by anyone ever! ( the Jeff Loomis cover kicked ass! 🤟🏻and so does Jeff Loomis himself! such a nice and respectful guy in real life)
    I guarantee the first time Eddie heard those tracks it made him smile that trademark grin you all know so well 😊. You know when you get Eddie Van Halen’s attention ( as well as the rest of us ) You’ve really done something truly great 😮 and Eddie obviously recognized this fact so he responded in kind ( just like he did with Dime!😊) the way he always did when something moved him like that and he also did something really great and kind as well by gifting Jason this guitar. Eddie truly was a nice guy and a legendary player for a reason, he earned it ! and so did Jason.
    I wish I could buy this guitar for a massive pile of cash 💵 and then give it to Wolfgang and have him play it live on the new tour for a while autograph it and then give it back to Jason during the live show when Wolfgang plays with Mammoth in Jason’s home area of the USA again ! Wolfie deserves the attention he has been getting he’s an amazing musician and a stellar human being and a kind, real person like his Dad was. No wonder Eddie was so proud of him ! We are all just starting to see for ourselves exactly why ! 🎸🤟🏻😎👍🏻

    I'm really glad you're helping to bring attention to this but damn... This is the saddest thing I've seen or heard in quite awhile and with the state of the world that's sayin ALOT...
    How sad that such a legendary virtuoso like Jason Becker has basicly been forgotten by the world to the extent that he has to sell off his prized posessions just for his family to survive.
    America REALLY needs to do BETTER taking care of people's health and the costs associated with them. There's no reason ANYONE should have to do things like this just to survive, disease or no disease...
    I better stop right here because it's genuinely pissing me off.Jason I'm so sorry for everything that's happened and that it's come this far... If I had the money I'd buy this myself and let Jason keep it. IT BELONGS WITH JASON. I'll say it again. THIS GUITAR BELONGS WITH JASON!!!
