Steve Stevens on Jamming at Eddie Van Halen’s House & How EVH Changed His Guitar Rig Forever 🎸

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we talk about a cool story from Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens. He recalls his first jam at Eddie Van Halen’s house in 1987 and how it turned into a friendship built around guitars and gear. Stevens says Eddie was incredibly generous—letting him try his rig and even helping him connect with Ernie Ball Music Man guitars and Peavey 5150 amps. Stevens loved the sound and eventually started using the 5150 setup himself. It’s a great behind-the-scenes look at Eddie’s influence, his love of gear, and the friendships he built with other guitar players. 🎸 "Exclusively Van Halen" is your ultimate destination for all things Van Halen.
