Eddie Van Halen, born January 26th, 1955, born in the Netherlands. He is known as one of the most talented guitarist for his style of hard rock guitar playing. Although Eddie had first wanted to learn drums, his brother Alex had learned them faster and better than him, so Eddie decided to learn guitar. In 1974, they met the rest of the band, who was David Lee Roth, the vocals and Michael Anthony, the bassist for Van Halen. Soon after the small gigs that they were playing, they became something famous in California and people would crowd into small smoky bars just to watch them play. But the bands break was from Kiss's bassist Gene Simmons noticed them at a local club and financed their music to record it. The self titled album, Van Halen, was released 1978 and went platinum six months after releasal. And not only that, but the album 1984 is released. But tension struck between the band, and Roth left in 1985, leaving the band without a vocalist. In the best perspective though, in 1996, the Van Halen went platinum ten times over, and 1984 went platinum nine times over.
