When I was 11, I was at my guitar instructor's place, and he put on "Ejection." It seemed like it originated from another planet. I was simply learning fundamental harmonies, stuff like AC/DC and Deep Purple; "Emission" truly didn't sound good to me, however it was radiant, such as hearing Mozart out of the blue. Eddie is an ace of riffs: "Unchained," "Take Your Whiskey Home," the start of "Ain't Talking 'Session Love." He gets sounds that aren't really guitar sounds – a great deal of music,
surfaces that happen in light of how he picks. There's a section in "Unchained" where it sounds like there's another instrument in the riff.
A considerable measure of it is in his grasp: the way he holds his pick between his thumb and center finger, which opens things up for his finger-tapping. (When I discovered he played that way, I attempted it myself, yet it was excessively unusual.) But underneath that, Eddie has soul. It resembles Hendrix – you can play the things he's composed, yet there's a X factor that you can't get.
ddie still has it. I saw Van Halen on their get-together visit two years prior, and the second he turned out, I felt that same thing I did when I was a child. When you see an ace, you know it. By Mike McCready of Pearl Jam
