In 1990, years of getting close but no cigar and the untimely death of his biggest fan, his dad, led Eddie back to his old stomping grounds of South Florida. Where Eddie ran across guitar legend Yngwie J. Malmsteen at The Button South. The timing couldn't have been better as Yngwie was auditioning singers for a new band he was putting together. Could Eddie finally get his big break? Yngwie was shocked at Eddie's similarities to one of his childhood hero's; the lead singer of Deep Purple. Yngwie says, "Man, he looked just like a younger Ian Gillan and his voice sounded just as strong."




The two became quick friends, playing many impromptu recordings at the maestro's Miami studio and home. "I have to go back to Sweden for the Holidays," said Yngwie, but when I return, I will call you!" That call never came, however, and Eddie ventured back to Los Angeles. He would later find out from his guitar tech that Malmsteen decided to make a dream of his come true and hire an All-Swedish band. And so Eddie Law didn't give up.

For over two years, Eddie used his time to take care of his heartbroken mom and continue to write his now, more personal music. Eddie worked behind the scenes too as a Tour Manager for bands, Haven's Edge and D'Priest. It was humbling work as he toured the United States for a few months. "My dad made me promise to him that when he was gone, I would take care of my mom and I honored that."

His writing matured and his creations during this time are some of the best stuff he's ever done. "Now He's Gone", "Playing With The Devil" and "Billy the Kid" were three moving tribute songs to his dad and how he dealt with the loss. You can hear the emotion and pain in his voice.

Eddie took matters into his own hands and formed his own band, Law of the Land. He was soon headlining all the big clubs like, The Button South, Summers on the Beach, The Tree House, Rock Candy, Plus Five, and Rock Solid.
