In 1995, Eddie Van Halen spoke to us about Van Halen's early days, his definition of 'classic rock' and more. Read the full cover story here
. Furthermore, Van Hagar became something of a giddy mutual-admiration society. And despite all sorts of recent drama in the lives of the band members and the recent rise of a grungier breed of monsters of rock,– Van Halen’s latest album – looks like yet another smash, having recently entered the Billboard chart at No. 1. Not bad for an album that ranges from the John Cage-style piano abuse of “Strung Out” to the unapologetic power pop of “Can’t Stop Loving You.
“Isn’t he adorable,” Bertinelli says when I show her an old high-school yearbook picture of her husband reprinted this week in,a California rock magazine. In the photo the young Van Halen bears a slight resemblance to another Eddie – Vedder, that is. Bertinelli explains that she loves her husband’s current look, but that’s not his true appeal. “The thing I love about Ed is his heart,” she says.
In recent years, Roth’s gone on Howard Stern a few times and talked about Van Halen. The way he tells it, he brought soul to a very white band. We were big. We were successful. But I didn’t know what it was all about. I started getting lonely on the road. And of all places, I met my wife backstage in Shreveport, La. It was August 1980, and she came because her brothers were fans, and if they brought her, they could get backstage. That was funny because Roth was there doing his “hey, baby” thing, but she went straight by him. I think that pissed him off because all of a sudden I got a whole other side of the limelight that he wanted.
I think it shows in the music coming out nowadays. In Europe they don’t understand all this downer rock. They ask us in every interview, “What’s with this depression-grunge-Generation-X shit?” They don’t get it at all.Well, if that’s the way you feel, fine, but I don’t think things are any worse than when I was young. I think there are certain bands that even complain about making music. Hey, if it’s a problem, don’t do it.
You write the music first, then Hagar writes the lyrics. Is it strange to just hand a song over for him to interpret?
