Good read. On EVH’s secrets, he kept most until he could profit from them. However, he could have profited much much more from his innovative ideas than he did. Sone of T he secrets in his first interview at the start of this thread were never mentioned again, allegedly because Roth gave EVH being so willing to share them with competitors.

And on the second day of Christmas…
I think that I read about Daddy JVH lost a finger before recording this with the Eddie Van Halen band. I can here some of EVH phrasing influences there, like in parts of I’m The One and the Jump solo
