Biografía

La biografía de Eddie Van Halen va ligada a la de su banda, Van Halen.

Los hermanos Van Halen, Eddie y Alex, nacieron en Holanda y en el año 1967 se trasladaron a California. Ahí, su padre, unmúsico de Jazz, de nombre Jan Van Halen, los incentivó a que fueran músicos y fueron, durante muchos años, concertistas de piano. Sin embargo al crecer fueron cautivados por el Rock lo que los llevó a aprender a tocar nuevos instrumentos. Al principio, Ed tocaba la batería y Alex la guitarra, sin embargo Eddie, aprovechando que Alex salía constantemente a fiestas, agarraba su guitarra y la tocaba desde muy temprano hasta la madrugada, Alex cuando llegaba de las fiestas, sentado al pie de su cama,tocando casi 8 horas diarias. Al ver Alex la destreza de Eddie, pasó a sentarse en la batería.

Empezaron a tocar en 1972 en reuniones familiares y en la escuela, donde Eddie parecía inspirarse por guitarristas como Eric Clapton, Brian May y Jimmy Page.

Después conocieron a DLR (David Lee Roth), quien cantaba en The Red Balls Jet y que impuso fuerza al grupo.

En la escuela secundaria estaba Michael Anthony quien dijo: "todos en la escuela tocan guitarra o batería, así que yo tocaré el bajo", y le quitó dos cuerdas a su guitarra. Estos cuatro personajes formaron Mammoth en 1973 y se cambiaron el nombre a Van Halen, desechando la idea de Rat Salad, en 1974.
