“We got here as much as the home, the property, the compound. I used to be speaking to Eddie for a bit, and he handed me a guitar and mentioned, ‘I’ve to study that rattling riff for [his son Wolfgang Van Halen]. Present me the way you performed it.’ And I went over to the grand piano and mentioned, ‘Do not kill me.’ And he mentioned, ‘All proper.’ [Laughs] ‘Good job!’ So I fooled the grasp.”
