Read what Eddie Van Halen referred to as his “first major interview”—a low-key chat with then Guitar Player assistant editor Jas Obrecht after the writer had been blown off by Pat Travers. Believe it or not, the July 23, 1978 interview took place after a friendly one-on-one basketball game between the two on a makeshift backstage court, each one unaware of who the other was at first.

Enjoy!
