Eddie Van Halen's Early "Guitar Player" Interviews in HD audio

[Jas O]

Hello Everyone! Today I discovered this forum, thanks to a comment posted on YouTube. I have just become a member to share some info VH fans might find interesting:

During my twenty years as an Editor for Guitar Player magazine, I was lucky to do many interviews with Eddie. These included the one we did alongside a basketball court at the 1978 Day on the Green Concert (what he referred to as "my first interview"), as well as the ones from 1979 and 1980 that were used for his first-ever cover story, published in Guitar Player in April 1980. I have recently posted the complete HD audio for these interviews on my "Talking Guitar: Jas Obrecht's Music Magazine" channel on YouTube. You can hear Eddie talk about his guitars, amps, and effects in his own voice. Here's the link:

Also, I have an online music magazine with dozens of interviews and articles with dozens of other guitarists I covered. Here's the link for that: https://jasobrecht.substack.com/

Hope you like 'em!
