R.I.P. Eddie VanHalen

[dalkowski]

And name another rocker who looked just like his wife. You can't.

RIP EVH

 

[Shinbone]

His legend will live forever. One of the most influential musicians of all time.

This. High school, hanging out in my friends GTO in the parking lot smoking a jnt. He said check this band out, put the 8 track tape in. Loved it and still do. R.I.P Eddie

I was born in '71 so it was the 80s when I got into rock music. My brother got the Diver Down cassette. It blew my mind. We went out and got everything before that and burned them up listening to them.

Well damn.

I got to see him live several times. He was the man.

Eddie Van Halen Dead at 65 from Cancer

Thank you for soooooo much fun music....and for inspiring two or three generations of guitar players.

Yup, happens. At least I got to see them play a couple years ago. With Roth too.

 

[Killing Floor]

Dang, was just talking about VH with a friend yesterday. Too soon. What an impact.
I am genuinely sad to hear this.
Shred On!

No poopie. I did Eddie Van Halen for a living history museum when I was in middle school. RIP Eddie.

Total gamechanger and innovator.

When were they together last?

My guitarist buddy plays Wolfgangs and knows just about every VH song. It's gonna be somber when he comes over to jam this weekend.

If he knows every song, he's a bad, bad man.

[Dr. Cheese]

I just posted this as well Dr Cheese...

just shocking.

It is really sobering to realize he was the same age as my sister.

 

[robd]

That sucks.....

Fortunately he leaves us with a lot of great music to remember him. Turn it up.

RIP EVH

When were they together last?

It was at the mid state fair in Paso Robles. I want say 3 or 4 years ago.

They did great. Sound guy sucked though.

 

[rtav]

I keep thinking of all the pics of him with a cigarette jammed between the headstock and the strings.

Awful.

 

[arbiterusa]

The only guitarist who I would say influenced my bass playing. RIP EVH.

 

[BassFishingInAmerica]

There are not many people who have completely changed the face of music.

Eddie reinvented guitar playing.

RIP Eddie. One of my biggest influences that got me started playing guitar 20 years ago. OU812 was so good!
