Plus additional conversations with Dave, Sammy, Alex and Michael. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEddie was warm and kind and nice, and he made you feel special when you were around him. At our first meeting, during Van Halen's debut tour with Montrose and Journey, Ed said to me, \"I'm not a rock star.\" And as long as I've known him, he never acted like one. I always felt that if my mom (or his mom) walked in the room with us, he would stand up. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow normal was he? Once when the band was headlining at Nassau Coliseum, we took a break from talking music because he needed me to help him build a guitar from scratch so he could play it that night! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe was also a once-in-a-generation talent. Though he would tell you he was influenced by Clapton in Cream, he was not a branch off some other root. Like Hendrix, Van Halen was his own tree, from which many branches would spring. As a music geek it was an honor to spend so much time with him over a period of years. He will be missed but his guitar playing will light up the sky for generations to come.\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 198\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 05, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47469576945913,"sku":"9798367106282","price":20.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/fzTcoRPG-p9798367106282.webp?v=1772485776","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-van-halen-that-i-knew-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
