Eddie Van Halen Interviews Les Paul---Two Wonderful People Who Have Helped Scores Of Musicians

This little interview is a keeper, and in 1986

Eddie interviewed Les Paul and he talked about why Leo Fender had such a big impact on him, and even why the Gibson people didn't think some of his ideas were that great, as well as Les being wrong on some things that turned out to be big sellers in the guitar market.

But overall; musicians, studios, record labels and the rabid fans of Eddie Van Halen and Les Paul's guitar innovations should be our knees thanking these two. Without them we wouldn't have the guitars and recording equipment needed to produce great albums and live sound.

Think about the people in your life who've helped you become a better musician because of their equipment, teaching you or just being there for you.  This is a wonderful interview and one that not just musicians should watch, but fans as well.

Thank you Eddie and Les.

PS: There's a short video in the interview with Les on stage and Eddie playing. Beautiful!

When you get a chance just read the interview and watch the video.
