A Tribute to Eddie Van Halen

I’m going solo on this episode to talk about one of the greatest musical influences on me personally, Eddie Van Halen. Sadly, we lost him to cancer on October 6th 2020, so my aim here is to pay tribute to the legend. It’s a brief history of his life and career with a reflection on his impact on music. Check out the video for WVH Mammoth’s ‘Distance’ here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI3aPJkZmNUThanks for checking out this episode, if you want to hear more from Van Halen check out the following playlists:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX1Rbcmz9T1Tzhttps://music.apple.com/gb/playlist/van-halen-essentials/pl.8954d6c1e3584331ad83433237d354e6A few select tributes I enjoyed on Eddie Van Halen:Ben Eller’s Youtube Video – Why Do Guitar Players Like Eddie Van Halen?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krHLP-DN1OY&t=1153sProduce Like A Pro’s Youtube Video – Guitarists Who Changed Music: Eddie Van Halen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLzX0-ipy5IBradley Hall’s Youtube Video – 150 Guitarists Vs Eruption: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3U7OT2HmSwInterview Clip Eddie and Alex Van Halen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l4Z91j7MVMInterview Clip Slash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_Hyomu3F2k&t=3sInterview Clip Steve Vai: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceIccbRZsUAInterview Clip Eddie on Sammy Hagar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgU9nD4FjdM&t=413sInterview Clip James Brown on the Peavy Amp (Tone-Talk): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzOhq3-3d90&t=600sInterview Clip Eddie on the Wolfgang Guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU7WHAAPi6A&t=73sInterview Clip Eddie on the EVH5150: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_Hyomu3F2k&t=3sInterview Clip CNN Eddie and Wolfgang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYiPC3S4sg0Fandomentals Social Media Donate to the Podcast - https://ko-fi.com/fandomentalspodcastTeePublic Store - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/fandomentals-podcast?ref_id=25862Twitter - https://twitter.com/fandomentalspodInstagram - https://instagram.com/fandomentalspodEmail – [email protected] Artwork Designed by Alex JenkinsWebsite - www.hexdesigns.orgInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/hexshadowTwitter - https://twitter.com/hexghosts Thank you for checking out this episode and be sure to subscribe for more content!Donate to CALM Here - https://tiltify.com/@podomedy/fundraiser-for-stay-tuned-2025CALM Tools & Resources - https://www.thecalmzone.net/tools-mental-health-support Hosted on Acast.
