It’s always educational to hear what stuff influenced great musicians, right? It’s interesting to think about how that stuff ultimately surfaced (or didn’t surface!) in the musician’s work. And who knows, maybe it’ll get you into some great shit you weren’t into before?

To that end: Billboard recently did a video interview with Eddie Van Halen — inarguably one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time — about his favorite riffs. You can watch that interview here (I can’t embed it), or, if you just wanna hear the songs and don’t really care what EVH has to say about those songs, check out the playlist below. Spoiler alert: he’s got great taste.
