During the conversation, Gene revealed a fact about him and stated that he never liked being called Eddie. Later the interview, people were shocked who did not know the truth. In addition to the truth, Gene has also praised him and said there was nobody like him.

“Edward – he never liked [being called] ‘Eddie,’ for some reason – when Eddie came along, nobody played like that.

“And I’m not even talking about the quality of the songs, or Dave [Lee Roth, vocals] completely taking the frontman to the n-th level. I mean, at that time, Dave was the king. There was nobody.

“Apparently, it had been done by jazz musicians and everything, but… Your jaw drops. Clearly, no one since Hendrix had that kind of impact.”
