You may say that I have way to much time on my hands. Truth of the matter is that I don't. But I heard some sad things last week on the radio that has had me thinking. I find it very ironic that you what to live this very quiet, simply life and others (former band members) keep doggin' you for it. We are all entitled to our moments and you Sir have helped me through a lot of mime!!!(All I need to hear is the first cord of any song). The best damn sound track I could have for this journey. You know we all touch each others lives one way or another. You get your coffee in the morning with a smile...That can go a long way!!!! Sitting in a traffic jam, late for work, VH song plays on the radio....BIG smile... head bobbing....fingers tapping...look over at the car next to ya and you both know your listening to the same song.... and yet even a BIGGER SMILE!!!! My point is that I hope this finds you well and if you need a BIG smile......HERE"S SENDING YOU ONE!!!!!! If life is not playing fair at the moment.....my suggestion....remove the obstacle (it's not easy) but you will find a strenght within yourself that will bring you out smiling.(you just have to find them) I'm all about the Smiles. I started this with my friends along time ago sending smiles via e-mails.(sad to say not much time for talking these days). Can't tell ya how many times we have made each others days by just sending some simple little words with a big smile at the end. It truly lets people know you care!!!! Don't know if you read this stuff but if you do, I hope my simple words has assured you that life can be grand when it's filled with smiles.
My favorite saying is..."Blow it out your Butt (pg version) if you don't get me" Surround yourself with people who get ya. Be well and once again SMILE (you do have a great smile)!!!!!

To just say Thank You Mr. VanHalen seems like to little. But truly THANK YOU for years of inspiring music. I hate to admit so much time has gone by but my 19 yr. old daughter & I rocked to you guys back to back nights in Philly last year. First night was her first ever. Second was just hrs. after graduation. Local radio station auctioned off two front row tix's and a limo to the show on behalf of cancer(long story there)we threw her grad.cap up on stage you kicked it, Sammy put it on & danced around then signed it. It now sits proudly on our mantel in our family rm. Not sure who's eyes were wider hers or mine. To be that close watch you play and watch you journey to where ever you go while playing was amazing. My daughter was impressed she could see Alex's feet move a million miles a hr. Big drum person she is. To say Thank You for years of incrediable music seems so fan like. But I am a huge admirer of your hard work and talent(gift). Now it is truly being enjoyed by second generation. The kid grew up listening to you guys. To share that evening with my daughter was priceless. Enjoy your time with your son. My God don't blink....it goes soooooo fast!!!! But I don't have to tell you that.. wow raising a teenage boy.... I have the girls that those boys date.....Raise him well!!! Please! I sincerely hope that this finds you in good health. If you do read these things just know that others care and wish you all the happiness back that you have brought to all of us. Having our own business I am a very outgoing & outspoken person but... I have always said that when I have the pleasure of mtg. you it will be the only moment that I would be lost for words. Give me that second, then I would shake your hand, say thank you, then say "just play dude". Then we laugh, cause man without laughter and smiles life is so empty. So here's wishes you smiles and laughter. Be well and true to yourself! It all works out and then it really doesn't seem that bad anymore. Till that moment of silence Later You, From Me.

Since 1978 the band has defined rock like no other. Everyone that is a fan wants more, but right now rest is required. I know the future is bright, its just we have to be patient with everything. The handsign will make another appearance onstage soon.

Hi Edward....I first just want to say thank you thank you thank you for making me want to play the guitar and make great music...Ive seen the band twice now most recently on June 25 in Washington DC....both shows were incredible from start to finish...Van Halen will always hold a special place in my life and maybe someday somehow I can show you the true impact you have had on me as a guitarist. Best wishes to you and all yours...and one more time thank you so very much.

10/11/04: Matt G. - Vanhalenkt@aol.com
Eddie, I saw you guys in Tampa and it just blew me away. You moved and jumped around 10X more than I've ever seen you before, which i thought wasn't possible! But congratulations on getting the band back together. Keep up the awesome job, lot's of love...Matt P.S.- if you need an opening act you've got my e-mail

Ed, I just wanted to tell you that you have been a huge part of my life. I am a 35 year old cop from Wisconsin. I started playing guitar when I was 6 and my sister who is 10 years older than me got me hooked on VH. Soon I had my own Kramer and was rockin my mom and dads world. Now I have kids and a wife and a brand new evh wolfgang, my 12 year old son and I striped out the old beretta like the frankenstien and he is becoming hooked. I have seen you three times on this tour..Green Bay, Moline, and now Milwaukee. My wife chose your show over a anniversary trip, you kicked such major ass in Milwaukee that I we are still flying high. I caught a pick and was like a freakin little kid!! I was so pissed when I heard the crap rumors but am so glad to see it set straight by Sam and the web today. We continue to pray for you. You are #1 Thanks for the great times. Bill Schommer Green Bay Wi

06/11/04: Juha Meriruoho - kolzig@gmail.com
Ed, thanks for all the years filled with superb music!

I hope I'll be seeing you and the guys in Finland someday again.
I missed your first concert here back in 1998/99 and that's why it's time for you to come back here!

Keep on rocking!

Twenty-six years later and I can still remember exactly the
moment I heard the DJ announcing the new single by a new band
out of LA and " You Really Got Me " came roaring out of the
speakers---all I could think was " Who the hell is this and
where do I get more of it? " Definitely a pivotal life moment!!!

It's inspirational to see that you and the band are still
cranking it out strong today and I hope to catch a show soon---
it's been way too long!!! ( opening for the Rolling Stones in
Orlando FL in '81 ) Damn,I'm getting old but it's been a hell
of a ride---Thanks for providing the soundtrack !!!

Hi Eddie,
I saw Van Halen in Cleveland this past year and was blown away by the performance!! Left thinking it was one of the best VH shows I've seen, and that show marked my 13th. Hoping to see you guys again soon. You look and sound amazing!!! Keep it up!
Rich

05/11/04: Joey Johnson - volsdoublej@aol.com
I didn't get to see the 2004 tour, so you guy's have to do it again. Next time, I would love to see it in support of a new album. Keep rockin and stay well.

05/11/04: Douglas Wunder - Acehigh@europe.com
Eddie, you are my hero, behind my parents. You have no idea how you have inspired me. You contributions to the music industry can not be overstated. You are an amazing musician, live performer, songwriter, producer, engineer, and composer. I feel you not only all these things, but truly a better person to which others can emulate. I grew up on your music along with the band that bears you and your brothers name. Music is my passion in life mainly because of the influence you have had on me. I am so happy to see you are doing so well nowadays, and that you have beaten cancer! I wish you the best, as well as the greatest rock and roll band there ever was, is, and will be! God bless you, Edward.

Edward,
I'm not going to bore you with my 'I'm a huge Van Halen fan pedigree'. I just have to say after your solo in Houston this time around I was emotionally exhausted, and had to sit for the first time that night! It was the amazing.
Whatever you plan on doing in the future, I wish you the best in health and luck.

Your music is the reason I love music, it is the reason I play guitar. Your inspiration has changed my life, and watching you play makes me want to play. I am glad you are well, and I can not wait to hear new music from you guys. I wish I was born earlier so I could have seen more of you guys.

05/11/04: marc - happyhouseposse1@aol.com
VH IS VAN HALEN. EDDIE AND ALEX. MIKEY, DLR, SAMMY AND YES EVEN GARY HAVE BEEN A PIECE OF THE GREATEST MUSICAL FORCE ON EARTH. THE 2004 TOUR WAS AMAZING AND I LOOK FORWARD AND HOPE FOR AT LEAST 2-3 MORE RECORDS IN THE COMING YEARS. ITS 5150 TIME, ALL THE TIME.

05/11/04: Perticelli - fpalumbo@servicechamp.com
Ed, al,mike,sam...thx for the music and the shows!
Thk God you are healthy Ed and count your blessings...you are breaking the mold of typical legends who usually are gone by 30..keep the example going, your impact on the fans and the world is probably more than one man can understand and is probably a burden not many could shoulder.
Your music has moved me and touched me in a very profound way, and i thk you for that. I look forward to hearing lots of new music, including anything experimental,anything blue's, anything w/in the VH formula and anything outside of that.
Dont completely shut the book on the music you made from VH3...i LOVE that album and appreciate the genius that is captured within that record.
Ed, i put you up there with Wolfgang AMadeus Mozart as a true musical genius, a virtuoso and a true living legend. The company you two share is small, but important in the world of music. Keep listening to your heart and your soul and all will go as planned!
God bless you and your family and the band and i hope to talk to you again soon!

05/11/04: Steven Walton - Sooner2112@netzero.com
I was in High School when you came out with what is still one of the best albums of all time. I am so excited you are back together. I am taking my 13 year old son to your concert in Wichita, KS on 11/6. Which at this point is TOMORROW NIGHT!! You are spanning the generations as you are one his favorites also. Eddie, please take care of yourself. It is amazing how quickly the years have passed. Continued good health to all of you.

Eddie ,

I know your life has had some big obstacles over the past 6 years and I appreciate the way that you have worked through them and have been able to totally crank it live this year . More importantly than the fans , thanks for not giving up on the music . With sincerity , there isn't one day that goes by that I am listening to one VH cd or another , and that is truth , not blowing smoke . If you keep touring , I'll keep coming out to see you . Also , thanks for working things out with Sammy and for the tour this year in 2004 .
Thanks for all of the inspiration you give me to be a musician .

Sincerely ,
Eric

Hey Eddie. When Stevie Ray Vaughn's helicopter crashed into the side of a mountain, he died, and the world lost a great talent. Stevie did not have the opportunities that you have - to choose life. Batteling cancer and batteling addiction cannot be easy, but if you have the desire to live, then do whatever you can to make that happen. No one else can do it for you - but you can do it one day at a time. It will take a change in your lifestyle - you can make it happen. You learned how to play guitar better than almost anyone else, so I believe you can use that drive to put yourself, and keep yourself on the path to recovery. I hope you do it.
Gina

Hi Edward. I remember when your first album came out, I was just 13 and it was the best ear candy I ever heard. You set the pace for many. I also wood like to say that I hope that you are getting well, and that the quality of your life is one of happieness and well being. I only hear breifley that you had cancer and I have'nt heard anything sence and that was awhile ago. How are you doing now? I hope very well.I deal with alot of pain so I know how it can be. just remember that you are not alone, and that god has blessed you and he or she will continue to bless you. And from me to you because you have givin all of us so much joy and harmoney, we all pray that you enjoy the same thank you and may your god be with you for ever and ever. If you ever just want to talk I mean I know that we share a common problem IM me My handle is slowjob68. On AIM good day Jim.

If the recent deaths of Randy Castillo and Robbin Crosby have taught any of us anything at all, it should be that life is too short to hold grudges. I hope your health continues to improve and you stay healthy for a long time after that. After all the petty fighting and mudslinging, we the fans would love to see a Van Halen reunion tour with Roth and Hagar both. This, to me, would rank right up there with the Kiss reunion of 1996. With all the yuppie bands out there right now, we need a legend to get out there and show these pretty boys how a rock show should look and sound. You are the man for the job! You have been one of the main inspirations for many musicians of the past, present and future. There is no doubt that VH will end up in the Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame. The last album was dismal and we need a full VH assult to bring back the true meaning of "ROCK CONCERT" You have lived through everything that the world has thrown at you, and done it in stride. Hope to see you soon!!!

Eddie! Stop smoking man! Get well, do it soon, and get back on track with the old, original, and by far the best carefree band line up you ever had!!! You guys have got the chance to do it all again like it was in the oldendays! When you got together with dave last time to do a couple of songs for the greatest hits, it was like a breath of fresh air in a room full of farts.
Well I'm sick of farts again and we need you to gimme some fresh fart and smoke free air!

Get over this Ed, and then get back to the music. Family first. I'm sure that all your fans understand, after all it was probably their love for VanHalen that has helped them through sticky times by bringing a little sunhine to any darkness.

All the best

I completely agree with gabbycm, although we are in the minority loving your music with Sammy. You guys went to the top together and the charts don't lie. I've been hoping for you guys to get in touch since you split and I will continue to hope. As for everything else, God bless you all and all of your families. We will continue to pray for your health.

Love & Peace,

3 WORDS FOR EDDIE---------
DAVID LEE ROTh***

c-ya`.

19/09/01: KERRY WHEELER - K1469@AOL.COM
I have lost 2 family members this year and 1 in 1997 to Cancer and I wish you all the best for you and your family. I would selfishly ask that you consider making a record and touring with David Lee Roth at least 1 more time so that many of us die-hards can re-live the magic and see the 4 of you on top of the rock world once again.

18/09/01: Russ - russbutner
Eddie, Get well soon! We miss you. When are you going to do a recording with Steve Morse!

15/09/01: nick garrett - dude515069@msn.com
dear EDDIE you by far are the greatest guitarest in the world ever. songs like eruption unchaind when its love crossing over so this is love summer nights and running with the devil are the best songs any one can wright dude when ever van halen gets back together play cleavand oh i dont care who the singer is because all of them have rocked dave samm and gary. get well soon dude van halen rules from a loyal fan nick garrett rock on

14/09/01: Russ - Dangerdogg@webtv.net
Eddie, Please get well soon, I need to hear your guitar in between all this other crap. Its been way too long since any new music,do a instrumental record really you 3 do not need a singer. Just put out some music PLEASE!
love ya!

01/09/01: Robert Lowe - winterspirit25@hotmail.com
You are without a doubt the greatest rock guitarist of all time,I am a very big fan of yours!!!! Everytime I listen to your music I am totally shocked!!!I have played guitar for around 11 years now and everytime I hear you play it makes me want to play that much more,although I will never ever even come close to you you are a great inspiration!!!!!!!Get well soon man and come back and show everyone what your made of!!!!!!

31/08/01: Gabriel - Gabbycm@yahoo.com
Eddie,

Be strong man! A lot of Filipino guitarists -- for sure -- would not forgive you if you would dicide to go. Keep on rockin! For vocalist, give sammy hagar a call! For me, he is the only one in this world that fits van halen. With him, you can very well expand halen's music on account of his high vocal range. Dave and Gary are cool too! Sammy Hagar, however, is simply the most fitted, in terms of attitude and charisma. It is also great in Van Halen to have a second lead guitarist, of course subject to your control and direction, being the leadeR. GET WELL SOON! MINIMIZE YOUR SMOKING!

26/08/01: J Marino Fatica - hotguitar@hotmail.com
Your music has been nothing short of inspirational to me Eddie!My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you and yours.

24/08/01: Willy - willy.devlaminck@pandora.be
Keep on ROCK'IN.
Your the GREATEST.

22/08/01: John Kelly - jkmets@aol.com
Eddie you are the best. Please give Sammy a call. He is the best singer for VH going forward.

16/08/01: Jon Paine - jonjuan@iname.com
Eddie, only you can do what you do. Vai? He's good, but no Eddie. Page? Please. Hendrix? Maybe 30 years ago. There are some great guitarists out there, and 99% of them are great because they emulated you. Your the one I, we, the world wants. Get a new singer, anyone will do (personally I think that Mike would be cool), of course, Dave would be ideal, but just get better for you and your family, then make new music. I'm slipping into VH withdrawl. P.S. Don't forget to come back to Utah. Thanks for everything.

Hi !!
I am not the only one to wish you a quick an complete recovery as I really miss Ed and his team !!!
It is really hard to explain what VH represents for me : maybe ALL as I listen to many different bands ( some modern and older ones ) but still VH is the greatest ONE ( You gave music some gold letters ) .. I still play the guitar , trying to play your music ( and solos .. ) the best way I can , BUT please do me a favor : KEEP ON LIVING .. KEEP ON CREATING MUSIC !! DO IT FOR ME , DO IT FOR YOU , DO IT FOR VALERIE AND WOLFGANG ... and for your fans !!! ) ..
Really best wishes !!!!!!!!!

Man..like i can still remember the exact time and place i was when i heard S.R.V. died. It crushed the music world,but it wouldnt even scratch the surface on how i would feel if anything happened to E.V.H. Only the best,most crafty licks, always had the solo that fit every song perfectly.Man your the greatest and myself being a father of 2 boys can only imagine that your first priority is being there for them ,geting well for them. You do that first, get well, were not going anyplace,we will always be waiting for you and the next gig. best to the family. ROCK ON 4 EVER E.V.H.

14/07/01: Not important - none@none.com
Eddie, when you feel like kicking ass again, give ol' Diamond Dave a call and lets get the world's greatest band back together again. We all wish you well and we also wish you would see the simple fact that the fans don't want another cheesy replacement singer up there on stage. Me Wise Magic and Can't Get This Stuff No More were the only songs that sold the BOV1 to fans that already loved the band. If you even think about working with Brett Michaels or someone equally as bad, you can forget my loyalty or anyone elses

Everybody is going with the same vibe and I am going to join them man.....and that is, we ALL appreciate the huge contribution you have made not only to rock music but our lives. It is obvious that everybody has been touched in some way by you and the band and we would love to see you fit and healthy again. Selfishly also, we want to see you playing real soon. (Especially us down under in Adelaide, South Australia)

Get well man. Hope you and the family (both personal and musical) are doing better

Dear Eddie

You are the reason I became a musician (and I'm a keyboard player!) When I saw you play in 1984 I said "that's what I want to do?
You have brought so much to my life and I only wish you a healthy and speedy recovery. Thanks for bringing so much
happiness and positive energy into my life as well as millions of others.

Peace

My thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy recovery. Get well, we are anxiously awaiting the new album and a return to the great classic sounds of the mighty Van Halen w/David Lee Roth! Your music has pulled me through tough times (and great times) and I hope all goes well for you and your family.

03/05/01: Mike Brown - mb11@netalpha.net
You're music has been a driving force in my life for 20 years. When I get the blahs, I just pop in any VH cd and let it rip! Most of the time I blast right out of whatever funk I'm in. Music is truly one of the best cures for what's ailing anyone!( especially VH's brown sound) Best wishes and I,ll be there at the next VH show in Jackson, Tupelo, or Biloxi.

03/05/01: Brian Elliott - belliott5150@hotmail.com
Dear Edward,

As someone who has listened to your music in good times and bad - and drawn inspiration from it - I hope you can take support from the millions of fans who admire you as much as I do.

Get well soon,

Glad to hear the news that your beating this cancer thing & staying positive!!! Take Care of yourself, best of luck to you &
the rest of your family.

01/05/01: George - georgethree33@yahoo.com
Edward,
As a longtime fan, I can only say that my prayers go out to you and yours man as you continue your fight with cancer. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope that those around you continue to support you through this.

You have been a huge inspiration to so many of us, myself included, and the music you have given us thus far could easily support me throughout the rest of my years. Though we all hope you can get back to doing what you do best, I am more than thankful for what you have already given us bro. More than anything Ed, we all just want to see you healthy and happy again.

Irregardless of what the critics may say, irregardless what some of the doubters and fairweather fans may say, I know the next VH album will be a winner, no matter who sings vocals on it. Because all the albums in Van Halen's catalog have been astonishing, "3" included.

You always said an album was 99% successful when you release it, and you were 100% satisfied with it if one other person gets it. "3" shone with the same brilliance as before, and I know your next offering will too.

Get better Ed, and do what you do best when you are healthy and ready to wow us again. Your true fans will still be here.

your friend,
George Pitcher III
as always - the other one percent

01/05/01: Mark Petarde - markusp316@yahoo.com

Eddie, it's great to hear that you are beating this disease, my grandma had it so when i heard you had it, it really hit home. I started listening to you back when 1984 came out and have been a huge fan ever since. You are the reason that I have played guitar and keyboards and Alex is the reason that I have played drums since 1984. You and Alex are my favorite guitarist and drummer respectively. I could not picture this world or my life without Van Halen in the spotlight. Your music has been the soundtrack to mine and many other lives in this world. There isnt a day that goes by when I don't pop in one of VH's cd's and sink into the music and forget about life's problems. You are an inspiration to all who love and play music. Best Wishes, Eddie to a speedy and full recovery. Keep rockin and see you guys when you come thru Chicago, Take Care.

28/04/01: Anddie from Berlin - cyberidol@cyberdude.com
Ed, you will win your fight. I am sure. You can´t go away, if so a part of my life would be gone too. And I don´t want that! You made me play the guitar since 1977 and I still wait for the day to come jamming with you ! So there is only one way - rock on !

28/04/01: André - ankimanija@wtal.de
Dear Eddie!
You and your music is a unique gift to all of us!!! I wish you all the best and health! It is great to hear, that you´re better!Love to you and let me tell you, that you are the only reason why I ever picked up a guitar. I´ll pray for you!

Eddie,
The first time, I was introduced to Van Halen was when I was living off the coast of Malaysia, as a young boy. I'm listening to my walkman and this chick walk's up and goes "Wanna hear something that will melt your walkman." Eddie, I wanted to wish you a quick recovery. I believe your spirit will allow you to prevail. There is no way some doctor will tell ya to chill. Your music got me so excited to play guitar and it has been such an integral part of my life.
God be with you,
Jon in Utah

27/04/01: Van M. Gibbs - vgibbs71@hotmail.com
Eddie,

I just want to wish you all the best in your fight against cancer. I am a cancer patient myself and it always hurts to hear about someone who has this terrible disease. You are one the main reasons I play guitar and have been doing so for 21 years. I can't thank you enough for all the great music you have contributed to my life. It may sound corny but you really inspire me to be better player. As a cancer patient who has been through over 25 chemoterapy infusions and a stem cell transplant it's great to know that you're beating this disease. I'm in remission now and looking forward to my life ahead. I'll continue to pray for you and your family. Hope to hear some music out of the mighty Van Halen soon.

Thanks,

Van M. Gibbs

Eddie-
All the best to you and your family during this difficult time. You are an inspiration to millions. In the current state of pre-packaged
popular music, crowded with "non-bands" whose music is written by outsiders and industry "players", we are in dire need of
your musical talent and direction. Bring back the music of Van Halen and show us the way! Good Luck. ~Brian

27/04/01: BOB LUKE - u316@yahoo.com
Eddie,

It's great to hear you are doin' better and hopefully on the way to a full rcovery. I'm a long time VH fan and I'm lookin' forward to some
new music from you and the rest of the guys, but of course health is a first priority and without that music can't happen. Once again
I wish you and the rest of the band the best and I'm lookin' forward to the new album.

Take Care

27/04/01: Ryan Richards (lovemachine97) - pinklovefuzz@hotmail.com
I am now raising a glass in honor of Eddie and his fight against cancer. A salute to the man whom I have never met in my 22 years, or been close to, but who has inspired me to be great, work hard, and demand perfection. We have drugs that can keep your hair from falling out, and ones that will give you an erection, and yet we still have not cured cancer. I applaude Eddie for actually keeping this matter in private and in the family before this announcement. Eddie has fought the fight of his life and hopefully won. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is truly what dreams are made of.

As I was about to post this, i realized the the mention of a toast is presumed to involve alcohol, which might be innapropriate under the circumstances, but raise whatever you got. I raised my glass--Diet Dr. Pepper. Peace.

26/04/01: Paul - dogman65@pacbell.net
Eddie, we all love you and want you back as soon as you are ready. I felt all along that this was the reason for the silence.
Hopefully The Mighty Van Halen will rise again and even if things dont work out with Dave Im just happy for your health.

Hope to see you out there doing what you do best very soon.

Paul

31/07/00: Ivan Pastoriza - pastorizahi@3fssgmecp.usmc.mil

While it's true that some of my associates and I haven't always had good things to say about the turns the band has taken recently, you Eddie are still the best damn guitar player on the planet. Take care of yourself first and your family. Then, when your health is back on track, give the fans what they've been waiting for a long long time!

May our Creator be with you and your family through this and all of life's tests and trials.

EDDIE-
I Just wanted to also tell you that your music makes me feel great and positive all the time! I can never have too much VAN HALEN playing anywhere! I even karoake to you guys! I'm also jumping around and doing the traditional Eddie scissor jumps in the air! I'm 28 and my wife thinks I'm nuts! I''m always air guitaring it to your music. Your the best! At my wedding we had table side cameras that guests could use, well towards the end of the night I requested some VH tunes and when JUMP came on I jumped Eddie style and a drunk guest somehow got the perfect pic of my jump! I had it blown up so now whenever someone asks me how my wedding was I just show them this pic and say "This explains our wedding." Whenever there is news about you guys my friends and family always have me in mind also! Eddie, your a true inspiration to me and your music is what I am all about! ROCK ON MAN!!!!!!!! BEST OF HEALTH.

31/05/00: THE BAILEY BROTHERS - BAILEY@BROTHERS2000.FREESERVE.CO.UK
Hi Eddie,
Mick and Dez the Bailey Brothers from England here. We met when you played with Bon Jovi in Sheffield but one of our highlights was when we was filming for our TV show Metal Hammer for MTV Europe. Van Halen was headlining the Monsters Of Rock at the Meadowlands stadium. We have seen you in the UK but to see you guys on your own turf was awesome. I suppose your life gets put in to perspective when shit happens you have no control over but not only have you all us in the business looking out for you, there's millions of fans world wide praying for you at this difficult time. Very few people can say they made a difference but you have, and you will continue to influence generations through your music. I wished I could think of something to make you piss your self with laughter ( how about some of Sammy Hagar's hair styles?) but I can't so we send our love all the way from Sheffield .We will be in that ring fighting with you "Right Here Right Now"
Rock on Eddie
Mick and Dez
Bailey Brothers!

31/05/00: Randy Gray - grayr@lesconcierges.com
Dear Edward,

I was talking to a friend yesterday and we tried to envision a world with out you-we couldn't do it.
Since I was 11 Van Halen has been a part of my life and the lives of countless others. Through the ups
and downs you guys were always there with great tunes and great times. You, Mike, Alex, Dave, and Sammy
put the fun back in fun and in music. You and the band always seemed superhuman and larger than life to me
and many others but now I guess we realize how human we all are and how we see our own mortality. I hope that
your treatment works and passes quickly. I'm sure I can speak for your legion of fans when I say, "We need you
more than ever so take care of yourself and get back to doing what you love and what we love hearing you do- playing
great music." Everyone knows about your disagreements with David Lee Roth but I think that he has the power to do
one thing-he pisses you off so much that you write music that just destroys people when they hear it. Bury the hatchet
and come back and blow our minds like you always do! All the best to you and your family and get well soon.

Your Bro in San Francisco,

Randy Gray

Dear Eddie,
Ever since you became a main teenage fantasy of mine (we won't mention how many years ago), I've loved your music and
always felt that if rock became a religion, you would be the god. I will be praying for you, Valerie and Wolfie - you will get
through this together. I hope you see these messages and know just how much you are loved all over the world!!
Take care (& come to Indy soon!!),

30/05/00: Mark Thunder - shastin@gte.net
Mr. Van Halen:

Good luck to you. My mom had cancer (single masectomy) and she fully recovered, as will you. Just thank the god of your choice that it wasn't in your hands, brain or your balls, like Tom Green. Actually, I think Tom cashed in on his ordeal. But you don't seem to be as goofy as he is.

Later

Eddie:

You've meant a lot of great things to many, many people. For me, you brought the gift of music and got me playing guitar. 15 years later, you continue to bring me inspiration and certainly will when I'm 90 and in a retirement home. (God help the other people in the home when I move in with a Peavey Wolfgang and 5150...) I'll make sure I get to that year's VH concert in my wheelchair!!!

Wishing you a speedy, full recovery and many, many years of health and happiness. Rock on, Eddie!

Dear Eddie,

I am saddened to hear of you're illness. However, I'm confident you'll overcome this. No other musician or band has the magic that Van Halen has. No other guitar player can compare to you. Your playing comunicates to me like nothing else can. I would love to some day meet you and thank you. May our Father above be with you and your family, and help you to overcome this illness. Take care Edward!

Brandon

As so many have said before me, you are the reason I picked up a guitar. You're inspiration continues to impact me today! I know you will make it through this and my prayers are with you. Stay strong and remember we are all there for you. You take care.

You are an insparation to me, and you are my favorite guitar player, your the one that pushes me to play and to jam, I have every album with name Van Halen, hell I even jam with them.

I'm praying for you. You are a terrific human being and you have soooo much left in you!!!!! I must admit, I have been looking every day almost every hour, at the VH websites in hopes of good news from you guys about a new album with David Lee Roth. But I honestly can say, that suddenly, that isn't the most important thing for me to hear about within VH. Now the most important thing is that you Edward Van Halen, have a speedy and healthy recovery!! Agian my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know your going to be standing on top of the wolrd again!! The way only Eddie Van Halen knows how!! You have great brothers within your band that are going to stick with you through anything!!! And that my friend is the key and the best feeling anyone can have! I run up a hill as a workout. To me that gives me a great feeling, a positive one. I will pray for you during this positive moment!
Luv you buddy!!!!!! Only the best of health too you!!

News like this makes all the little "shit" (i.e., news about touring, recording, etc.) seem so inconsequential. Your music has been an inspiration and Van Halen has marked milestones in my life. In fact, we played "Unchained" on the car stereo as I was driving my wife to the hospital to give birth to our first son. Thanks for all the fun and as a greedy fan I expect more of it in years to come.

Get well soon, so that the next biggest news to come out about you and the rest of Van Halen is the celebration of a "new" album and tour with an "old" Van Halen.

30/05/00: Tom Kracht - tom.kracht@bankfirstcorp.com
Ed,
It's hard to explain, but you are one of the most important people in my life. Because of you I learned guitar. Then got in a band at college. Stayed in college until I graduated because of the band. Got a great job because of college. Not near enough room to explain it all, but you have had a huge impact on my life. Just wanted to thank you and let you know that if there is anything I can ever do for you, please let me know. Also, Barney the dinosaur could be the new lead singer for V.H. and I could not care less. VanHalen has always been about a couple a Dutch brothers for me. Get well soon!

30/05/00: Sean Buban - seanbuban@yahoo.com
Eddie you are the one who truely taught me how to play guitar you are one of the reasons why I play the guitar, have every album with the name Van Halen, my friends have nicknamed me Sean Van Halen. I'm with you all the way, my prayers are with you. You are an insparation to me, as well as my music and guitar playing. Get well soon, my friend. ;p :)

Oh, and don't forget to smile :)

For the last 20 years you have been such an inspiration to me ( both musically and personally), thank you so much. If anyone in the world has the spirit to recover from this, it`s you. I look forward to hearing you play again and maybe who knows, meet you some day. Take care, Chris (Birmingham, England).

Eddie,

I haven't always agreed with your decisions about Van Halen, BUT I admire the gift you were given. I am sorry to hear about your
health problems and wish you a full recovery and the best of health. I've never smoked a cig, but I imagine that it must be a
difficult habit to quit. I hope that you do. You're still a young man. You've got many years ahead of you. Life is short. Smoking
ain't worth it.

Thanks for making the music that make my teenage year memorable ones.

Best wishes!

Eddie, when i read the news it hit home and it hit it hard. You are the sole reason that i have been playing keyboards and guitar. I cant learn fast enough to play like you do. I have prayed for you Eddie and I know that you can beat this disease. As far as I am concerned, there is no other king when it comes to the guitar. Eddie you are the man, and always will be, get well soon and I look forward to the next time you come thru Chicago. God Bless.

Edward,
Currently, Doctors and Clergy are debating the validity of prayer and physical recovery. In my humble, yet educated opinion, I honestly believe that my prayers, along with SO many others, will only assist in your speedy recovery. Life is a series of beginings, not endings. A day ends, another begins. An hour ends, a minute begins. A minute ends, a second begins. Your situation may seem like an ending, but it is only a begining. However, the definition of the begining is up to you. May G-d bless you and your loved ones.
Eric

When I was seventeen I was in an alchohol related car accident. I was at a high school party, and choked on my puke. My friends loaded my body in a car and got in a high speed crash on the way to the hospitol. I was in a coma for 14 days. While I was comatose, they played my favorite music to me. I was a guitar player since I was 13, so Eruption was at the front of the tape. When it played I rolled over. That was the first thing I did that led the doctors to believe that I would recover. After a couple years, I almost fully recovered. Anyway, I wish you a full recovery also. We have actually met. Last time you guys were at the Gorge in Washington state, I was at the Meet & Greet. I expect to see you at the Gorge again next year.

Best wishes,

Brent Whitmire
