Rare Eddie Van Halen Interview To Be Featured In Esquire Magazine

[private parts]

i always thought it was one of these " gentleman " sort of mags with fashion and trendy stuff... i obviously have never read it so its just an assumption

Your right. Kind of like GQ but not as gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I hope he doesn't say shit about Sammy. I love how the only way Hagar can get any press for his band is to talk shit about Van Halen and they just completely ignore him.

Actually, I don't know that I really care all that much about a new interview with Ed. I think he's pretty much saying all he needs to say on the stage.

be sure that the interviewer is properly briefed what to ask and what not...and I guess there is a "this is the band, we enjoy what we do now and whish all former band members all the best"-policy

I hope he doesn't say shit about Sammy.

Can't decide half of me agrees with u but the other half wants him to rip spam a new one and declare Dave is and always been the man .... Or as its known the truth !!

[evil_lil]

The best rip ever is ignoring him. Self-aggrandizing people like Spammy can't handle it.

I love the videos they put out themselves, but I don't think Ed is good off the cuff.

The worst are the Guitar World interviews. Fucking remind of Eddie Trunk interviewing Axl Rose...Have you no shame, man?!

[DLR'sCock]

I hope he doesn't mention Sam at all.

I just want to hear a little love for Dave come through. Just to ease our minds that they are getting along and perhaps will add more dates overseas to this tour. We all know he is having a lot of fun out there on stage, but would be nice to hear him actually say so.

[Zing!]

Agree - best thing he can do is ignore Spam completely. Ed can get in trouble - even with his new found sobriety - if he speaks in a true interview situation. I would guess this arrangement with Esquire would have the questions well in advance - and the answers pre-approved.

[DavidLeeNatra]

those selfmade interviews are fantastic...I hope they keep them coming...I can sit and watch them talking about the old times for hours...

and yes...sam desperately waits for being mentioned either way...just ignore him...everytime they laugh about the tour bus, the motown deals and whathaveyou I hear Dave say "then I will look at sam and say, you weren't there..."

[ThrillsNSpills]

Wonder if his old Golf magazine is jealous that he's doing an interview with Esquire...

[Terry]

I suppose the Esquire interview has the potential to ask different questions than the usual GW prattle, and Ed might actually provide answers that don't involve plugging his latest bits of gear.

Would prefer a Roth interview far as non-guitar mags go, to be honest.

[DLR Bridge]

If he mentions the drum/guitar/paper route story, I may take a hostage.

[vandeleur]

The interview has just been tweeted , will post or would if the link would copy :-/

[vandeleur]

oops might have worked
