I'll always leave the same set of strings on my guitars when I'm recording. If I break one I'll just replace it instead of putting on a whole new set of strings. Eddie Van Halen breakguitarleave Change image and share on social
I never dreamt of being a musician for my livelihood. I certainly never would have wanted to be in the business that I'm in, meaning the fame and the glory, the glitter, the rock star, the famous part. Eddie Van Halen businessdreamfame share on social
I have pictures of me sitting in the racquetball court in my pajamas with an acoustic guitar, and Wolfgang is probably just two-and-a-half-feet tall. I'll never forget the day I saw his foot tapping along in beat! I knew then, I couldn't wait for the day I'd be able to make music with my son. I don't know what more I could ask for.

I'm blessed with a good pair of ears. That's how I fooled my piano teacher. I'd watch his fingers and I'd listen to it, and I just kind of basically learned it by myself. Eddie Van Halen basicallyblessear Change image and share on social
It makes me feel kind of weird, but obviously the Man Upstairs gave me something and it touches people, and I'm just so blessed. Eddie Van Halen blessfeelgive Change image and share on social
The piano is a universal instrument. If you start there, learn your theory and how to read, you can go on to any other instrument. Eddie Van Halen instrumentlearnpiano Change image and share on social
