Can someone tell me if he mentions Michael Jackson in this interview? Or any other interview?? Thanks

@crazy4corbinbleux

I have this whole interview and no he does not talk about MJ.

Back when Eddie was nothing more than a humble guy who happened to be the best guitar player on the planet.

@AKMAC82

How do u get all those notes? That's a pretty big stretch

[Chillybeef123]

@guitarrguyy1 they're harmonics . . . just pluck one, pluck the neck, then pluck the next without pressing down all the way. Also you're supposed to touch the string right on the fret.

[guitarrguyy1]

E, B, and G strings work best. (;

@AKMAC82

Thx man! Here's how 2 do the mice,

Turn the pick sideways and tap on the strings at the edge of the bridge, and use the bridge pickup. Thx again!

[guitarrguyy1]

I can do his mice and horse, but I just can't get the elephant harmonics!!!!!

Gosh, Eddies good....

[AKMAC82]

@guitarrguyy1 Elephant: G-string harmonic 5th fret. B-string harmonic 7th fret. High E-string harmonic 12th fret

Depress Whammy bar, accompany with volume swell up and voila! Elephantitus!

What an incredibly dull man

To whomever posted this interview... you rock! Thanks for incorporating one of my concert pics into your video at the 21 second mark (taken from just off stage-left at the Los Angeles Forum during the 1984 tour). I also still have this entire interview with Lisa Robinson on cassette. Van Halen ruled the roost back then!

[jakemk21]

Yeah, it would be great to hear the rest of the interview. It used to be on Youtube in 4 eight or ten minute videos. But then they got taken down for some reason. Thanks for this bit though!

[guitarmessiah95]

wheres the rest of this interview ? i can't find the rest anymore

[theShowStopper321]

@guitarmessiah95 Im wondering the same thing. I wanted to listen to him play Crossroads again. They always take the good stuff off.
