I don't usually share much story, so this is kind of out of character for me.....sorry if it's long winded. I spent my early years as a guitarist cultivating my chops, giving myself to the wood and steel - then one day I heard Edward not long after Van Halen II was released. My life was different from then forward. I devoured every track of every album and found obscure recordings, bootleg and legit, I studied VH recording methodologies, guitar tone, etc. Many guitarists have influenced me - but Edward, was so unlike anyone else before and since - nobody will every fill those shoes. He changed it all - the way the instrument is played, the way it is amplified, the way guitars are made – everything. I had Eddie "wallpaper" in my room as a teenager, I went to his concerts (if I left my room long enough to put down the guitar), and after a lifetime of music, in 2014 I relearned a massive catalog of his work as a seasoned player with discipline and commitment, rediscovered his musical genius – not that I ever doubted it (it's a lot to learn and absorb). I enjoyed playing some great concerts with a VH Tribute band even though I don't usually go for that kind of thing. I did it so I could really learn and perform his work well, and go back to school so to speak. I worked my ass off for two months learning a shit-ton of material and holy shit, that man wrote some truly remarkable music. To this day, every few months I have an EVH night to myself in my studio and just listen - sometimes whilst driving or when I want to get back to basics of sound, feel, and musical authenticity. I find isolated guitar tracks of Edward on YouTube most exhilarating and sacred, and listen in a state of wonder and gratitude for this person who brought so much to the world. I knew he was fighting disease, and just a few days ago was listening to his music and wondered how he was doing....well now we know, and I'm glad his suffering has ended...he fought long and fought hard, many kinds of battles. So here's my small, private tribute to share with my friends – from a 2015 concert opening up for Warrant. For The Maestro, Edward Lodewijk Van Halen – Thank You Forever Peace y'all......the D is feelin' real heavy. Thank you for being my friends - you folks are the best!
