Dweezil Zappa Shows the Gift Eddie Van Halen Gave Him
In this clip from The Collection with Dweezil Zappa, available now on Gibson TV, listen to Dweezil recount how the legendary Eddie Van Halen showed up unannounced at Dweezil’s house, carrying a purple Kramer guitar with tape over the headstock—an early model he was using before endorsing the brand. Listen to how Dweezil requested that Eddie show him how to play the iconic “Eruption” solo, every guitarist's dream!
Listen as Dweezil shares the surreal moment Eddie Van Halen attended his school band practice, watching a 12-year-old Dweezil soundcheck “Runnin’ With the Devil.” Noticing his guitar was out of tune, Eddie went home to bring back his own guitar, not only helping him play it correctly but letting Dweezil use it during the performance insting that hhe keep the guitar, which Dweezil later customised as a homage to Van Halen's signature style.
Dweezil also reflects on Eddie's profound kindness, recounting how Eddie was the first to call him after his father, Frank Zappa, passed away. That early-morning phone call and Eddie’s offer of support left a lasting impression, demonstrating the generosity and heart of a rock legend who wasn’t just an inspiration to a young guitarist and performer on stage but also as a friend.
This is a story of music, mentorship, and the incredible connection between two guitarists at very different stages of their lives and just how important those little impressions can be.Nature's intent is neither food, nor drink, nor clothing, nor comfort, nor anything else in which God is left out.
Whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not, secretly nature seeks, hunts, tries to ferret out the track on which God may be found. . .

Nice!!!
Hey, James. Have you seen this other video from Dweezil? TOUR COUNTDOWN - When 'Push Comes to Shove':
"The reason so many billionaires want to go to space is because guillotines need gravity to function!"
"Não é surpresa pra mim, Você começou pelo fim. Não me comove o pranto de quem é ruim, e assim."
"Tudo pertence a quem tudo produz." "A realidade só é possível graças ao trabalho, e quem trabalha é o proletariado."
Time zones are weird: It's 01PM in Finland, it's 05AM in Mexico. And it's 1930s Germany in the US.
