Eddie Van Halen Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Eddie Van Halen net worth comes largely from his careers as a vocalist, songwriter, guitar player, keyboard player as well as a music producer. Additionally, he created a group that has been entitled “Van Halen”. Eddie Van Halen is called the lead singer in the group, at the same time. Produced in 1955 in the Netherlands, he went to reside in California along with his family when he was seven years of age. Seven years began playing drums while he was still a child. Nevertheless, his brother was an excellent guitar player and so after Eddie Van Halen saw his brother playing, he determined that he really wants to be a guitarist, also.
Also, David Lee Roth let a PA system to the group. From 1978 till 1983, the group released 6 records that have been sold fairly nicely and brought lots of cash to the absolute Eddie Van Halen net worth. These records also added additional cash to the total net worth of Eddie Van Halen.
His musical career went on so nicely that in 1972, Eddie Van Halen formed a group called “Mammoth”. Yet, after recognizing there is a group with this type of name already and they possess a successful musical career, Eddie Van Halen was made to rename the group and called it by his last name “Van Halen”. The group brought enormous amounts to the total sum of Eddie Van Halen net worth. In 1977, the group signed a contract with all the “Warner Bros” record music label business, which made the group popular globally. “Van Halen” released their very first album in 1978, just one year later after they signed the record deal, that was rather surprising to the group.

1 | I just like songs. I don't mean to sound like a prick or nothin', but I've never really been that much of a fan of bands outside of Cream. And I don't really listen to anything nowadays. The last record I might've bought was Peter Gabriel's So. With Cream, I was more a fan of their interaction live. You know, they were an example of "What's the difference between jazz and rock & roll? We just play louder." That's all. We get 12 notes. Do what the fuck you want with 'em, you know??? |
2 | You'd have to be numb or dead not to get excited about 20,000 people screaming. |
3 | I'm a musician, Dave's a rock star. |
4 | "I really don't feel like I've done s**t yet." When asked by Rolling Stone magazine to describe his greatest accomplishment as a guitarist (sometime around 2003). |
# | Fact |
---|---|
1 | October 2012. After an extensive seven-month reader's poll face-off contest (500,000 votes), Guitar World magazine declares: Eddie Van Halen "Greatest Guitarist of All-Time". |
2 | Once said in an interview he built his own guitar. His Frankenstrat consisted of the body of a Fender but the double-coil pickup of a Gibson. Later, to confuse those who would try to make unauthorized copies of his Frankenstrat, he added a non-functioning single-coil pickup and extra wiring in the middle to confuse people as to how the sound was produced. |
3 | Ex-son-in-law of Andrew Bertinelli and Nancy Bertinelli. |
4 | Eddie's very first guitar was a Teisco Del Ray electric with 4 pickups bought for $70. |
5 | Brother-in-law of Stine Schyberg. |
6 | Likes to say that David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar's problems with the band were due to "LSD" -- Lead Singer Disease. |
7 | Has debuted the EVH Wolfgang guitar, which he describes as a culmination of his years of knowledge and experience with guitars. Eddie quietly road tested this new guitar during the band's recent reunion tour. |
8 | August 4, 2008 - Engaged to Janie Liszewski. |
9 | One of the tracks from Van Halen's self-titled debut album in 1978 includes Eddie's "Eruption" guitar solo. Eruption originally was intended to be a guitar warm-up exercise. However, one day while in the studio as Eddie was playing Eruption, the recording engineer happened to be recording. The rest is history (although, ironically, Eddie reportedly didn't like the way it sounded). |
10 | While he is often credited as inventing the "tapping" technique, this is actually incorrect. The technique had been around for many years; he merely popularized it within the rock and roll genre. |
11 | Has a reputation for being modest about his guitar talents, sometimes stating that Van Halen songs have been successfully made from guitar riffs of his that he didn't think were very good. |
12 | Didn't speak any English when he and his family first immigrated to America. |
13 | Is a recovering alcoholic; Eddie's father died of complications from alcoholism, and, reportedly, his paternal grandfather was an alcoholic also. |
14 | When Van Halen became successful, one of the first things Eddie and his brother Alex did with their earnings was to tell their father he could retire and take things easy for the rest of his life. |
15 | In 1999 he had hip replacement surgery. |
16 | Met David Lee Roth while they both attended Pasadena Community College in the 1970s. |
17 | His father, Jan van Halen, was an accomplished sax and clarinet musician in his own right. He appeared on clarinet on "Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)" on the "Diver Down" album (released on April 14th, 1982). |
18 | Son, Wolfgang Van Halen, born March 16, 1991. |
19 | Has been working on new material in his home studio since being declared cancer-free (he was treated for throat cancer in 2000/2001), but has no idea what he's going to do with it for now. Van Halen split with its label, Warner Brothers, in 2001, and is currently without a recording contract. [June 2002] |
20 | Parents moved the family to Pasadena, California, USA from the Netherlands when he and brother Alex were young. His father was Dutch, his mother Indonesian. |
21 | Father, with Valerie Bertinelli, of son Wolfgang Van Halen. |
22 | Guitarist for rock group Van Halen. |
23 | Younger brother of Alex Van Halen. |
