According to Alex Van Halen, his brother Eddie Van Halen disliked the nickname "Eddie" and preferred to be called "Edward." The Van Halen band name was initially met with some hesitation, but was ultimately chosen thanks to a suggestion from David Lee Roth. The name Van Halen means "from Halen," and the brothers tried to obtain a coat of arms to add another dimension to their image. Despite initial reservations, the Van Halen name has become a well-established brand associated with a good time party vibe.

The guitar great was not fond of one frequent usage of his name.

David Gilmour Talks About The Pink Floyd 'Wizard Of Oz' Legend

Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour recently opened up about one of the great urban legends of rock history - that The Dark Side of the Moon was made to sync up with The Wizard Of Oz.
He was asked about it during an interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, admitting he didn't hear about the rumor until "years later".
Gilmour revealed that he's tried it himself - and admitted to noticing a few "strange coincidences" when the album and movie line up.
Gilmour isn't the only Pink Floyd member to dismiss the longstanding rumor. Roger Waters called "bull****" in a 2022 interview.

David Gilmour discussed the 'Dark Side of the Moon' and 'Wizard of Oz' mashup theory on 'The Tonight Show' in November 2024.

Jerry Cantrell Names Riff That Defines Alice in Chains

The first note of one particular song is all someone needs to hear to know that it's by Alice in Chains.
Alice in Chains guitarist and vocalist Jerry Cantrell recently revealed that song in a fan Q&A via Metal Hammer.
“The first big one was Man In The Box and that seems to be one of our immediate, universal riffs," Cantrell shared. "Rooster [from 1992’s Dirt] is another but I don’t know if that’s necessarily a ‘riff’. I’d say Man In The Box.”
When asked if he ever got tired of playing that riff, Cantrell replied: “Once you hit that first note and get into the groove, and you hear the roar from the crowd, any feelings of tiredness or whatever, I don’t really get."
“I think you’re lucky if you have a song that people want to hear, so you’ve got to play it for them," he continued. "We’ve been lucky enough to have a good handful of songs throughout the years, so the challenge becomes, what do you cut out? Somebody’s always going to be bummed out. Ha ha!”

A Metal Hammer reader asked Alice In Chain’s guitarist/vocalist which riff defines the band. This is what he said.
