His picked up smoking after him and Susan Day broke up........ He wanted to be the front man for Van Halen but let Dave have that role, and decided the Guitar was a way better focus for him.

Interestingly enough he started on drums with Alex on guitar before the switch. RIP, Edward. One of the greats. The way life should be.

GRIZZ Campfire Tracker Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 3,978 Likes: 1	Same chit kilt my brother Nov1 2014. Ben was only 64. Growing up here in So Cal I must have seen Van Halen preform a dozen times they played my High School in 1974 before they made it big . Seen them play Gazzarri's in Holywood a couple times. Battle of the bands at the Orange County fairgrounds, concerts. Local boys, grew up in Pasadena So Cal. The story is their father who was also Musician gave Eddy the drums and Alex the Guitar... Good thing they switched. Eddy Van Halen was the greatest guitarist there ever was or ever going to be. I play and I would have given my left nut to be able to shred like that... RIP Eddy. Coyotes shot no waiting.
