Justin Ford , I think Jimi paved the way for Eddie and guitar centric music in general. He was a better overall guitar player than Eddie as well. More artistically creative and innovative as far as his song writing goes. Eddie not so much. With the exception of the tapping and the hyped up guitar and amps. Which is something that Jimi relied on others for. Still Jimi’s Albums. Axis Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland, blow out the water anything that Eddie, Vai or any progressive rock guitarist has done as far as the number of songs that slay, written by a guy that played on the international level for four years and died. Jimi was a beast. If he would have lived man..... I would like to have seen Eddie’s influence on him. Eddie has a very tricked out and flashy. Lead guitar style that is unique. Rhythmically and harmonically. Jimi was the best though. Jimi did have modded Marshall’s. and he did play Gibson flying Vs with humbuckers. Which is what he was gravitating toward when he passed on. The isles of wight concert. Epic! He had endless sustain on the Gibson. Check out Machine Gun. 1970 man. Imagine Jimi 10 years later. Nobody would touch him.

Justin Ford , Eddie influenced a generation of Technical guitar playing 1000 notes per minute wanking. Jimi influenced legends. Clapton said he was the best. Santana as well. Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughan. Legends. Some of the more popular guitarists like John Frusciante to even grunge and alternative era bands like Pearl Jam. You can here Hendrix influence loud and clear. Richie Blackmore even recently gave an interview where he openly discussed how he came up with several songs by embellishing Hendrix riffs. Only technical guitarists go crazy over Eddie. No disrespect. I like him too. But how often do you think in terms of tapping, harmonics and dive bombs all the time. The rest was what power chords, chorus, flanger, delay. His rhythm and song writing was pretty simple it was his lead style that mainly made him what he was and modern technology of course. Most of the time your gonna play the guitar the way Hendrix did. Not tapping and playing 1000 notes a minute. I like Eddie too don’t get me wrong. But his style is unique and there were too many copycats that ruined it. Same with Yngwie Malmsteen. Hendrix. Small Venues? He headlined Woodstock and was the highest paid performer. You know the concert everyone is trying to copy and redo even till this day. Hendrix had a manager that was ripping him off big time and a contract that he signed ages ago that was unfulfilled that he was in hot water over. That’s the drama with the venues and him not giving a damn towards the end he was fed up with it all. I agree Page had more of an influence on songwriting because he was a master and writing as a guitarist backing a singer and not singing and playing at the same time. Hell this debate can go on and on. As far as guitar playing goes. Best all arounder will always be Jimi. He was the first innovator of that caliber and died at his height after only 4 years of recording or so. Eddie will always be second place bro. He had the vision yes modded gear yes but his playing does not top Jimi. Jimi influenced more substantial Quality players not shred wankers that nobody outside the guitar community knows about or cares about. And Jimi influenced every Genre of music after. Not just rock guitar. By the way I think it was Roger Mayer that made custom effects pedals for Jimi to create unique voiceings. Hell Jimi had endless sustain back in those days from a pedal and was harnessing feedback. And he did have more mods than just the speakers. There were wiring and tube mods as well. ,

Justin Ford... he influenced Yngwie to take up the guitar and didn’t you see Yngwie playing with a full on classical orchestra. Come on bro. Just give credit where it’s do. A simple google search will tell you that Jimi HENDRIX is the greatest guitarist of all time. Period THE END.

Like so many others Eddie was such a huge inspiration to me as a young guitarist back in the 80’s I would have never thought he would end up being even more inspirational and a source of strength in my older life. Like Eddie I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis (AVN) in my late 40’s and it scared me to death. When I turned 48 I was in a wheelchair and dangerously close to losing my career. The Doc’s told me that I was long over due for surgery and needed total double hip replacement and pelvic reconstruction. I found Eddies story of his hip replacement and how he went under the knife while being awake and actually talked to his surgeon during his surgery. Well true or not I don’t know but I said to myself “If EVH can do this then the least I can do is try and I did. I’m still jamming to Eddies music and I’ve done everything I can to try to clean my life up. I still drink too much, party too much, smoke to much, stay up to all hours of the night practicing riffs but I do it in moderation now. Eddie has just been a way bigger part of my life than I ever imagined he would. Thanks Mr EVH for touching my life and giving me the courage to make it when I thought I couldn’t.

GeorgeBonez & Mitch ettie: God bless you both. I’m a bassist & keyboard player but haven’t seriously practiced either instrument in over 3 years because I’ve been studying composition and orchestration. I’ll be 52 in 3 weeks and picked up my bass last week for the 1st time in ages and could barely play. The doctor said I’m arthritic after years of playing basketball & softball and then just stopping practicing my instruments. Now, that scared the hell out of me, but I can’t even imagine what you guys have been through. We gotta keep going for the love of music. I’m going to give it my all and work through this based on your examples. All the best to you both. Peace.

Ed has been telling this story for decades. And, he's known to have spun tales to throw people off the scent of his tone and secrets through the years. But, there is some evidence to suggest that the guitar was actually originally a Fender Strat. At least the body. There are early photos from the club days of Ed playing a black strat with a rosewood neck, and that strat has some virtually identical signature wear marks on the body that are also visible on the Frankie beneath the layers of peeling paint. Only Ed and Al know for sure. Either way, he slapped a beast together.

If we keep remembering him and share with each other what he did for us individually , then we can keep him semi alive and keep him with us as long as we talk about what he did for us , the first time we heard him , concerts or if you were lucky enough to have met him , it seems that we put our differences aside and meet on one level . The peaceful , music , especially new music comes first, and create that atmosphere that we can re-live hour own memory’s with him , and keep him in our hearts and minds , then he is always with us . I have to think that way because I can’t handle the reality that he really is no longer with us . After getting shocked to the core on October 6, 2020 , it was well into 2021 before I could listen to Van Halen music. What was one of the most natural things that ever existed in my life , listening to and digging VH music , I now physically could not do The moment that I realized what was going on it really hit me hard and all the arguments against anyone else ever being a better guitar player than Eddie and all of those moments (which was every second Eddie invaded my ears) , I knew that my instinct of knowing he was the best, all those moments in life when the odds were against me , that sticking to my EVH is the best mindset paid off and that was one thing that I could hold true to myself , made me proud knowing that I have been right all along and that’s a great feeling. When that hit me , which was about 6, 7 months after he past, I began to loosen up and before long , the music worked its way back into my life and back where it belonged , to its rightful place atop the Mt Everest in my heart. But that’s just one story that I have to go along with all that are in the world. It’s that loyalty syndrome’s little voice in your head that says when your listening to the music , I may or maybe I may not be correct when I think he’s the best ever, because there could be someone out there who might be as good or better, and that’s ok , and that’s anyone’s right to think and say that . To that , I answer back with s peaceful response of , you know , if you like the other one better , then by all means enjoy yourself with your choice , I don’t care if my favorite is not your s , but as for me , I’m thankful and lucky that I have my favorite , and for the rest of my life , I can enjoy my favorite artist,, Maybe your guys better , but you’ll never convince me of that because I found and have the very best , and I’m just fine with my choice ,……and yours , …. God Bless!

He brought one of that cheap cassette recorders and recorded about an hour of a show. He brought it to basic training , (what a shitty recording) but you could hear him just rockin out. he said you'll hear about this guy soon!

I love how everything Eddie did, regarding getting the sounds he wanted, was just whatever it took to get that sound. It didn’t have to be pretty. It didn’t have to be expensive or follow some set of rules saying that you need nice equipment. Sure, he got nice equipment when he could afford to, but until then, he still knew how to get the most out of everything. He was the very definition of, “It’s not the car, it’s the driver.” Sure, sometimes it’s the car, but a good driver can do a hell of a lot more with a hell of a lot less.

I remember when Eddie built that around late 77. He bought the neck at a small shop in Arcadia along with the decal. I still know where the receipt for the neck is. He asked a lot of questions, I think I know where he got the idea for the paint job, it came from a TV series. It was fun working with him in the 70s, he was so nice

Very interesting. Just curious, which TV series? BTW, I used to live in Arcadia, and when I met my wife she lived a few blocks over from the house the Van Halens used to live in on a parallel street (in Pasadena). They lived on Las Lunas (I know the house) and her family lived on Queensberry.
@sportswolf1

@@ButOneThingIsNeedful The show was "Boris Karloff's Thriller" I have lot's of great memories of Eddie. I worked at a small custom guitar shop in Arcadia on First ave and Colorado blvd next to the liquor store. I taught him a few things about building. He only brought in his brother once but it was so funny, Alex might remember. The house he lived in was a small 2 bedroom and the room he was in had a 100 watt Marshall half stack. I was small time back then doing some over flow work for Wayne Charvel, repairs for the public and built custom guitars, as my talent grew my reputation grew. I was lucky to see him play almost every week and he just got better and better. I never saw him again after 78. I still miss him and his talent. Do you remember the Chevelle's club and Pasadena Civic?

@@sportswolf1 First of all, I am truly grateful you responded to my comment, Sportswolf! You should be interviewed by anyone making a documentary or book about EVH wanting firsthand bits about Eddie's early years. I would really like to hear anything else that comes to mind that you remember. For example: What guitar(s) do you remember him playing? Did you actually see the famous 'Frankenstrat' newly assembled? Was the band big yet? Do you remember Ed already (unfortunately) being a smoker? Etc. I play guitar myself and of course couldn't help but be blown away the first time I heard Eddie's work (on the radio). Eruption was so incendiary I thought it might set the speakers on fire! LOL Of course I know about the Pasadena Civic Center, but sorry not the other place you mention. I did go to Pasadena City College for a while, where I believe the VH brothers also went (earlier). I did not grow up in Southern Cal.
