About 18 months ago I made a version of this and last February a photographer contacted me to say that I'd used two of his pics without permission, so the video was taken down. I work hard to give credit whenever I know the source of a pic but frequently they are shared in many layers and it isn't easy/possible to find the original owner.

So I just reshot the video and have spent the last few days editing it back into a story that covers the biggest guitars in Eddie Van Halen's history. There were more of course but these are the ones that you heard on the records mostly and that's what interests me most.

I need to thank Pete Thorn for giving me permission to use his excellent Van Halen inspired track for the intro and outro for the video. Van Halen's influence on Pete's life as a musician shines through.

I need to thank Neil Zlozower, rock photographer of the stars for working with me to get a clean video together and for giving me permission to use four of his amazing shots in the edit. Neil worked with the band from '78 to '84. See his books of photos on the band. They are not to be missed.

I need to thank my script editor Perry McManis. It's been 18 months since we finalized this script together. Two guys from different generations both profoundly affected by Eddie Van Halen's playing.

And I particularly want to thank the friend of five watt on Patreon.

And remember, you're all five watt world, I just make the videos.

Hope you like it.
