EDDIE VAN HALEN (Took it to the next level)____________________INFLUENTIAL HISTORY: Having been born and raised in Detroit along with AM radio, one can only imagine the musical history. At the age of seven, if I wasn't listening to the Detroit Tigers or my beloved Detroit Red Wings (with the radio under my pillow when I was suppose to be sleeping) on my 9-volt transistor radio; what do you think I was listening to?Considering Detroit was the birthplace of Motown, let's remember names like the Supremes, Four Tops, Aretha Franklin, The Jackson 5, and the list goes on and on and on. Rock stars include Bob Seeger, Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper, and even KISS wrote a 1 hit - Detroit Rock City. It was the place to rock. From cities like Ann Arbor to Kalamazoo, through the 70's and 80's, I've seen shows such as Seeger at my high school before he was signed, the Four Tops at the local community center and even Alice Cooper at our city picnic -before he decided makeup was his niche.It was a young musician's dream. Especially when you get your first guitar at the age of seven and had a mono sound system to jam with. Learning and playing with the radio was the best thing I could have ever experienced as a young musician.SUMMARY: I have achieved being a guitar player that can play anything. When one says they can play anything, you need to ask them, "Yes, but can you play it from the heart?" If they don't reply, "Nah, I even go deeper, I play from the gut," don't let them in your band.
Sounds Like: You tell me.
