For fans of Van Halen like myself, you'll appreciate this. Eddie can seem a bit off his knob in interviews, but he's still a down to earth guy. Enjoy, link to rest of story is below. It’s been almost ten years since my encounter with Eddie, but I remember it like it was yesterday… I was “moonlighting” in an 8 bed ER in “the valley” while still a resident at UCLA. It started out a quiet, but steady night. The nurse handed me the chart for the next patient I needed to see. I looked at the name and saw that it read “Edward Van Halen”!!! I looked back at the nurse and she nodded and smiled…”Yeah, it’s him.” http://www.vhnd.com/2009/01/28/an-eddie-van-halen-story/
Oh man, if I could say that happened to me, I would be literally speechless. I hope he stays clean as well and continues playing well enough to make even the best guitarists wonder 'how did he do that?'. My all time favorite rock guitarist, and one of the best ever...
