I'm dating a rock star an Eddie Van Halen story

77

The year was 1998 and Howard Stern was doing an interview with Van Halen about their album with Gary Cherone. Ed and Beth met the guys at Stern's office. Al: Hey Ed! Beth came too! Ed: Hey Al! Me: Hey guys. Stern: Good afternoon guys. Who's this with you Edward? Ed: She's my wife, Beth. Me: Hi. Stern: Sit down, make yourself comfortable. My first question for you is how do you think your new album will fly with your fans? Ed: I think it will go well. We've been through a lot as a band and through all that, our fans have stayed with us. Al: I would agree with that. Without our fans we wouldn't have been such a big hit. Stern: How do you think you're doing together as a band now? Mike: We're doing pretty well. We've gone through a lot of changes throughout the years and this is a new chapter in the "Van Halen Book" and it will be a good book in our history. Stern: Has joining Van Halen been a good decision for you Gary? Gary: It was an awesome decision. I remember Ed called me up and he said "Hey you wanna join Van Halen?", I thought he was kidding! I'm very happy to be with the guys, there all awesome and great to hang out with. Who knows, maybe we'll record another album this year! *When we finished the interview with Stern, we all walked across the street and had a few drinks together.*
