As fans celebrate the life of rock legend Eddie Van Halen, we look back to a great interview MTV’s Chris Connelly had in 1998 with Eddie. They peaked inside his home studio and checked out his famous guitars. Eddie also opened up about the time his son, Wolfie got frustrated in music class and heaved a pumpkin at the teacher! Imagine growing up with a musical mentor who is a ROCK god! Check out the interview to see how Eddie reacted when discussing the episode with Wolfie’s principal. Connelly’s interview was one of the great examples of why we loved MTV back in the day.
