The back of my EVH features Anthrax’s Not Man Skull. It connects this guitar to Scott Ian, Anthrax, and Van Halen. Call it my Van Halen, Anthrax, or Euphoria guitar, depending on the mood.
In memory of Eddie Van Halen, six years on. Honoring a visionary guitarist with this limited display from my collection, featuring picks from nearly every Van Halen album and a classic lineup photo.
Rise of the Tyrant" is melodic death metal at its finest and my gateway to Arch Enemy. Released in 2007, it blends raw brutality with neoclassical elegance. Angela Gossow and the band deliver Judas Priest on speed.
Scott Ian with his EVH Frankie Relic. I love seeing him play these guitars. Eddie Van Halen gave the Frankenstrat its red finish in 1979. The guitar pictured is a replica of Eddie’s custom-built model.
VAN HALEN II is a seamless album and an absolute blast. “D. O. A. ” was the second VH II riff I learned. I play it with my own rhythmic feel, not to recreate Eddie’s tone. My sound comes from the Michael Amott Infernal Drive.
