    Van Halen Pilgrimage

    Dave's Child Hood House...



    I heard he bought this from his Dad... But I think he sold it after the Northridge quake...



    This is carved in the driveway out front...



    Autograph practice? or a fan... You be the judge.



    The VH Bros childhood home...


    I heard they lived in this house until about 1982. I guess after 12 million albums they wanted something with a little more space.






    Pasadena City College where Dave and the VH Bros met







    This is claimed to be Eddies first guitar







    An original foot pedal built just for Eddie







    Early flyers




    The rest is History...


    (special thanks to dlroth for the pics...)

    If that is the Rothwood estate, then Dave still owns it.

      that is the one his dad owned and then sold to Dave. I guess a few movies were filmed here and his Dad actually got small parts for letting them use the house.

          ...But....why?

          Too cool FS. It really underscores the social differences between the VH Bros. and the Diamond One.

          I've read where EVH talked about his upbringing being pretty shitty. He mentioned not having fond memories of his mom...

              He said in the interview that his mom was always calling hm a screw-off for always wanting to play guitar instead of getting a 'real job'. She would say "Your never going to amount to anything" and stuff. Kinda sad...I can see where he'd be an alki. Bad genes and too much money too fast. Dangerous receipe...

                I remember EVH refereing to his parents as the "Conservative & the screw up", the "cheerleader & the stoner."
                His mom was the one pushing for him to take college classes to repair computers right up until the band got signed.
