R.I.P. Eddie Val Halen

[Grossman56]

So sad to hear of Eddies passing today. As a guitar player, I remember the first time I heard eruption and thinking 'My God, what is he doing??' He revolutionized playing as we know it, there was before EVH and after EVH as anyone who played guitar in the 70's and 80's knows.

I turned on the classic rock station and 4 straight Van Halen songs came on and I just thought I was lucky. RIP EVH

Hard to believe... it's a sad day in Rock-n-Roll history.

Yes, one of the greats. His "Eruption" will go down as a rock-n-roll masterpiece. Very fond memories the summer his first album was released.

Another one to add to The Day the Music Died! Rip Eddie.

Very sad...

My days of growing up with music was definitely the days of 'metal'. Besides what I picked up from the ol' man. In those days, though, I was all about the innovations that Randy (Rhoads) and Eddie brought to the guitar world. Fond memories indeed...

well although im sad that he passed away, im also sort of happy to know that a man who was born with a tallent got to live his days and grow old doing what he loved and spreading it all over the world ! i consider myself very successful if i can do anything close to that in my life
