I wouldn't mind meeting Eddie Van Halen. That would be great. We need to invite him to a race.
Billy Squier
So everybody is trying to play like Eddie Van Halen. I think it's rubbish. I think Eddie's great, but everyone's trying to do what he does and it doesn't make for a lot of interesting music.
Buzz Osborne
Greg Ginn was certainly a huge influence on my guitar playing. I put him up there with people like Eddie Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen changed everything; I don't necessarily like everything he did, but he definitely changed everything.
Chuck Eddy
Few bands in hard rock history have been so adept at balancing the awesome and trivial as Van Halen in their prime.
David Lee Roth
Van Halen can keep providing the rain and I'll keep providing the parade.
Dierks Bentley
I got into rock music at thirteen, listening to Van Halen, learned how to play the electric guitar.
