RIP Eddie, my rock hero since 1978

I can definitely believe Eddie was a caring and loving man especially to his family and fans

I can tell you for a fact, he opened his checkbook one time, wrote a check for $10k handed it someone years ago. This person was diagnosed with cancer had months to live, was bummed they never had chance to see Las Vegas. He wrote a check for $10K, handed it to her, said have a good time... Brought her to tears... That aside, still doesn't negate the fact what he and Al did to Noel Monk and Mikey was low over the years was low..

Love EVH...wasn't so good to Mike tho...RIP THE GREATEST

What a heartbreaking story! ❤Dweezil one of the most talented musicians and Our beloved Eddie Van Halen the king of guitar and innovation together!!! EVH His legacy will remain forever!!

I guess when people who love you aren't well, they're not always going to tell you so you don't get worried. They're saving you the anguish before the grief of their passing.

Edward was the greatest and a very special human.

Some people complain that Van Halen didn't put out enough music. The music they *DID* is among the best that will ever be. The rest of the time Eddie spent making a musical instrument company that makes some of the best guitars I've ever played. I'm always going to be sad about his loss and always be happy that I got to live through his time and enjoy what he/they put into the world.

All these years I've enjoyed music coming from Zappa and Van Halen- now I've learned more of the great place the music comes from with these 2 musical families. God bless the Van Halens and the Zappas for sharing!

Fantastic Interview. I love Dweezil from the early days. Outstanding musician

Ed calling first gave me goosebumps

I can't stop thinking about how Eddie's death impacted me because if it hit ME that hard, I can't imagine how it is for people who were actually his real friends. ❤️🖤🤍💔🤍🖤❤️

No doubt. Hit me harder than any celebrity death. I was 13 years old in 1990 and i had nothing going for me and dealing with intense bullying everyday. Life was REALLY bleak. But i had a guitar and knew a few chords. Then i heard Van Halen 1. Changed my life. Gave me purpose and reason for being. I feel i owe him so much. Maybe even my life.

He's always been out of touch with reality and has said the dumbest things. In 2022 the MEN are going to lie and invent fictional stuff cause their ego is answering the questions. The women NEVER were looking at what was going on back then. It's pointless talking to these clowns in 2022 and Van Halen fans know this sad fact about people. It's amusing for the kids who weren't born back then. It's painful for VH fans.

You’ve got to release What the Hell Was I Thinking!

Eddie was all about the music and gave much love to fellow musicians. Wonderful spirit that will never die.

Dweezil releases his music via download on his website. He also has a Pod Cast series called Runnin with The Dweezil where he interviews guitar players about Eddie's legacy.

Eddie and Dweezil were tight back in the late 80's..

Great interview would love to hear that solo eventually

Love you and your Dad ,, Thanks ,, I want a yacht

I love The Wild Life stuff Edward did.

Dweezil is such a good guy, at least it looks that way. He’s had to grow up in a very different way than most people, even though they had money I don’t think it was an easy childhood. He’s a very humble musician, I think that shows great intellect alone. I had read many times where he and Eddie had worked together, still can’t get over his passing, I think about it every single day.

He really is dude. Incredibly genuine and *present*. I got to hang out with him and learn from him once. Life changing for sure. It took quite a bit for me to mellow out and realize I could really talk to him. Then it was time to go and for him to get on stage and be completely badass :D

You're crazy. Learn what to do from the oldest living tribe. Australians say you never mention the dead and never see their images after they're dead.

Imagine you're a young EVH fan just learning guitar and you can have EVH show up at your house because your dad is a genius. Dweezil has done his dad proud.

Very very cool moments. Dweezil should do an interview with WVH…ASAP

Dweeeeeze. My man.

D.Z. Stellar guitarist.

They said the official cause of death was a stroke. Yes cancer related. That blew me away.

I'm trying to imagine asking Eddie to put together a montage of his solos. But it's all my fav solos he's done. And then Eddie says... I can't remember Push Comes to Shove. So I'd play it for him. And then I'd ask for the Dreams solo, and Jump solo, and Poundcake! And he'd do them all.

A light definitely went out when Eddie left us…

The ending statement......can anyone who ever watched EVH play, or listened to an interview reach any other conclusion than that the guy was just a huge optimist?

Almost the same age frank was when he died

EVH and FZ, two of the greatest heroes of my youth. Dweez is a lucky dude to have been able to know them both. Fuck, what a loss. Poor Dweez. He must have been gutted when Frank died. I'm sure he was Frank's favorite. He's my favorite Zappa kid for sure. Moon's cool too.

Dweezil zappas first song space cadet. Is my favorite tune

Another Great discussion👍Dweezil really describes the time period perfectly. I’m his age, Electric guitar( Evh) was king. He nails it, all the emotions of learning those songs. Fair warning( my fav)- 1st vh I bought. Mind blowing

He mimed TV shows for years.

I'm torn with the 'interviewer' not posing follow up questions. I understand it is a fact finding mission but he doesn't have the charisma or compassion of a person who is a fan and can take that extra step...ask that one extra question that might garner a truly honest and sincere moment that would also help the interview as a whole.

when is his album coming out?

Very kind, unless your name is Michael Anthony.

No one who isn't a celebrity or revered artist would ever get big props for calling with condolences to a friend whose dad had just died. That's baseline expected human behavior in the real world.

hmmm. Just ask Mike and Sammy. In the 80's it was legend that DLR and EVH were jerks to fans. I met EVH, came off like a jerk to me. But I guess when you are more famous than Jesus, I guess anybody would end up that way. Fame is the purest vanity.

It's not acceptable to just say you like VH 3 in 2022. Realise there's multiple versions of VH 3 by now. There's 6 original versions, all different. Then there's multiple reissues and anniversaries and special editions and, and, and... There's also 3 thousand different stereo systems and remakes of those 3,000 stereo systems. Nobody has any idea what you're talking about dweezl zappa. So you like Ford mustang but which 1, and on which road, and at what time of day, and what weather conditions and what tyre pressures and what tuning? Etc etc. You're acting as if we're kids. You're way out of date 📅
