 | | Word is that no one up in Ed's front office was particularly thrilled about his taking part in any extracurricular jamming that could signal interest or attention outside his big-bread-and-butter day gig with Van Halen the band. |
 | | Ed and Allan have been casually friendly since jamming years ago in L.A., and in a sense, their relationship mirrors the spiritual connection a star like Clapton has with Buddy Guy, that Stevie Vaughan had with Albert King. |
 | | All three pairs have jammed, exposing the indebtedness to a small audience; all bore notable referencing on pop records, from verbatim Albert licks by Stevie on Bowie's "Let's Dance" to the Holdsworth whammy-bar dips in "Panic Station" that not only became much of Eddie's acclaimed "Dreams" solo, but a staple of the younger player's style. |
