So of all the amazing Van Halen songs, Ice Cream Man sticks out as my favourite record.Alexander Slater has been with Trident Media Group since 2010. I realised we were in the middle of the ocean, playing Van Halen songs, and it was a wonderful moment that I’ll never forget. I looked up at the sky and there was nothing but stars. I was the vocalist for this song, Alex Skolnick was on guitar – dressed as Eddie Van Halen – and on bass was Wolfgang, Eddie Van Halen’s son. “I was part of a Metal Allegiance tour on a cruise ship. Overall, I’m just glad that they existed, and that’s what has bred the desire of thousands and thousands of guitar players that are on this Earth right now.” So yeah, Van Halen’s incredible, absolutely love ’em. So I got to see all three eras the David Lee Roth, the Gary Cherone short-lived Van Halen phase, and the Sammy Hagar. Every time they came through Atlanta where I grew up, I would always go, and I even travelled to the south-east of the US to see them.
“I probably got to see Van Halen seven or eight times over my life. In terms of Eddie’s licks, it contains the ‘kitchen sink’ of elements – innovative pull-offs, two- handed wizardry, wild bends, unheard-of tremolo bar technique, harmonics, scrapes and other disruptive noises somehow made to work beautifully.” “It’s a blend of Edward’s revolutionary guitar virtuosity and the group’s fun feel of a wild party.
It’d require a much larger format to properly convey – perhaps an encyclopaedia. With all due respect to the fun band known as Van Halen, the influence of Edward is beyond anything we’ve witnessed in this lifetime. His thinking outside the box, from instrument building and tone tinkering as well as unique song structures, riffs and – oh yes – solos, has also inspired countless music producers, luthiers, designers and other creative types. Yet this extended group goes beyond fellow guitarists. “I’m one of numerous individuals who has EVH to thank for inspiring the development of a skillset that has brought great joy.
