Flashback To 1989: Eddie Van Halen & Michael Anthony ‘OU812’ Interview [AUDIO]

by VHND — updated August 17, 2023 Leave a Comment

The Tapes Archive YouTube Channel is taking us back to 1989 for an Eddie Van Halen and Michael Anthony interview. That’s followed by a special surprise – A 1985 interview with Eddie.

From The Tapes Archive:

In this episode, we have Eddie Van Halen and Michael Anthony. At the time of this interview in 1989, Van Halen was in Japan promoting their OU812 tour and record.. In the interview, Van Halen talks about how Eddie wants to be remembered when he dies, David Lee Roth and Ted Templeman, their album OU812, why Eddie is still not 100% sober, and so much more. We have also added a bonus interview with Eddie alone from 1985. The interview is conducted by Steve Harris.
