Given how seminal Van Halen’s debut album would become, it’s hard to think of any of its 11 tracks as “lesser known.” Though perhaps it’s the deepest cut and final track on the record that documents the full metallic force of the four musicians in three perfect minutes, Eddie attacking his guitar with the same kind of aggression that thrash metal b...
When people think of the guitar mastery that dominated Van Halen’s second full-length album, songs like Spanish Fly, Somebody Get Me a Doctor, D.O.A. and Women in Loveare usually the first to come to mind – and rightly so. Admittedly, Bottoms Up!can’t compete when it comes to blistering alternate-picked triplets on acoustic or stadium-sized riffs, ...
Few songs take the listener right into the room with the musicians in the same way as Fools, which starts with a minute and a half of mainly Eddie before the full band comes in. And when you get to the solo, it’s all there – from earsplitting pinch harmonics, massive overbends and whammy bar dips and dives to the guitarist’s gloriously aggressive a...
Did Eddie Van Halen invent tech-metal and groove metal at the same time? When you hear “Loss of Control” and factor in the year it was recorded, it can certainly feel that way. Eddie attacks his 6th string in a way that many bands would later make a career out of, the likes of Tool and Pantera reinventing heavy music with more distortion a decade l...
This penultimate track from the band’s third studio album has a folky, almost Led Zeppelin-inspired swing to it and was the first time Eddie recorded with a slide. According to legend, it was pretty much his first time even trying to play with one – having been handed a bottleneck by producer Ted Templeman during the sessions. The rhythm guitars we...
The note choices and overall tone heard at the beginning of Fair Warning’s fourth track would become hugely inspirational for players like Steve Vai, particularly on his solo recordings. The extra-low bass notes were the result of tuning down a half step, as usual, but with the 6th string additionally dropped another whole step (to “drop-Db” tuning...
For a player who was not only dialing in but looking to invent new levels of distortion, there was an incredible sweetness to Eddie’s cleaner tones, which often featured a perfect blend of compression, ambience and modulation to make the notes cut through. For live shows, Eddie would play “Secrets” on his yellow and black Kramer double-neck and occ...
Rough and ready as it may be, this 13-minute weekend jam between Eddie and Brian May ended up being one of the American virtuoso’s earliest excursions outside of the band that took his family name. If you’re looking to steal Eddie’s best blues licks – and/or cop a few from someone many regard as his British counterpart – it’s definitely worth a lis...
Any doubts over whether Van Halen could continue without David Lee Roth were put to rest on Sammy Hagar’s debut. Much like Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio at the beginning of the decade, Van Halen had found a singer with his own identity who was able to tread new sonic ground, in this case on tracks like Dreams and Love Walks In. But 5150’s hea...
Using ringing tapped harmonics to breathe life into a handful of simple chords is emblematic of Eddie’s musical and tonal inventiveness and ability to “spice up” what would otherwise be fairly regular shapes on the fretboard. While the main riff isn’t particularly fast, it’s quite deceptive in terms of timing and feel, using a lot of open-string pu...
The memories range from Wyman being the best man at David Bertinelli’s wedding to recording sessions for “Fatherless Child” to just hanging out with Van Halen and laughing together at the Jerky Boys prank-call comedy act. “While those memories bring me down, I’m happy to have them,” he said.
Jan 20, 2021 · “The Little Things” – Rich Wyman, Fatherless Child (1996) Ed stepped out of his comfort zone with this contribution to singer-songwriter Rich Wyman’s 1996 release. EVH suggested the two work together after he saw Wyman perform, and he ended up producing the album and playing on four of its tracks. This is the most rocking one of the bunch.
Eddie Van Halen discovered Rich on stage in Park City, UT and invited him to his 5150 Studios in Los Angeles. Along with Andy Johns (Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones engineer) they produced the foundation for Rich's second album Fatherless Child. That album led to a record contract in The Netherlands where Rich had two TOP 100 hits and he played ...
