A Quote by Buzz Osborne

Greg Ginn was certainly a huge influence on my guitar playing. I put him up there with people like Eddie Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen changed everything; I don't necessarily like everything he did, but he definitely changed everything.

These days I don't look to other people with the objective of trying to steal their licks, although I've got no objections to stealing them if that seems like a good idea. I'm sure that I'm still influenced by Mark Knopfler and Eddie Van Halen as well......I can't play like Eddie Van Halen. I wish I could. I sat down to try some of those ideas and can't do it. I don't know if I could ever get any of that stuff together. Sometimes I think I should work at the guitar more.

David Gilmour

My heroes were Eddie Van Halen - especially after Van Halen I, II, III, and IV - Randy Rhoads, Ace Frehley and dudes like that. My brother played drums and we jammed in the garage and started writing our own stuff.

Dimebag Darrell

Van Halen was a huge influence on me, and 'Eruption' was the song that really leaped off that first Van Halen album.

Dimebag Darrell

At some point I decided I didn't want to learn any more guitar technique. I was at that level where the next mountain there was to climb was Van Halen and I didn't really like Van Halen.

Rostam Batmanglij

In my world, before I knew about Eddie Van Halen, I was playing piano, and at that point in my teenage life, I thought he was just a guitar player.

Lzzy Hale

To me, the secret of Eddie Van Halen was Alex Van Halen, because the way Alex played was so loose and the way the two of them locked together... Those two are connected so thoroughly they might as well be one person.

Paul Gilbert

It's hard to say this about a guy like Eddie Van Halen, one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived, but he's really limited to a style and they're locked into it.

Sammy Hagar

Without a doubt, Eddie Van Halen is the greatest guitar player who has ever lived.

Zakk Wylde

I think a lot of modern day guitarists start off playing like Eddie van Halen, and they don't take the time to learn the basics.

Alvin Lee

I do like Eddie Van Halen as a player. He gets it right quite often.

Paul McCartney

So everybody is trying to play like Eddie Van Halen. I think it's rubbish. I think Eddie's great, but everyone's trying to do what he does and it doesn't make for a lot of interesting music.

Billy Squier

I do remember being a kid and hearing Van Halen. My dad was always playing Van Halen in the car.

Nita Strauss

I wouldn't mind meeting Eddie Van Halen. That would be great. We need to invite him to a race.

Al Unser

Eddie Van Halen was probably the most influential.

Tony Iommi

I was more influenced by players like Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen than by the guys in southern rock bands.

Dimebag Darrell

However you feel about Dimebag, this is one of the most influential metal guitar players of the '90s. I was just talking to someone that I am hiring to bring on the tour who said that, when he was at the funeral, that Eddie Van Halen came and put his striped guitar in the coffin. That's a pretty big deal.

Glenn Danzig
