Omg. I was just relearning pound cake yesterday and watched videos on him all day. Had no idea

 

[tnuhcvols]

No way

 

[tnuhcvols]

Diver down was one of their least popular albims, but it has some real gems

 

[NorCalVol67]

Well that f'ing sucks.

Not all that surprised, but that still sucks. Their music was a big part of my adolescent years.

 

[Weezer]

A true guitar great. RIP

Van Halen's 1984 album was part of the soundtrack of my childhood.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Damn!

 

[508mikey]

Damn!

yep my brother is upset - EVH was his favorite - he has a guitar custom made like Eddies

The first time I heard Running With the Devil, I had an Eruption! RIP EVH.

The first two songs on Van Halen, well, really the whole album, was a helluva introduction to the world. Listening to Eruption now, simply guitar mastery.

I was almost 16 when that album hit. I couldn't get a powerful enough sound system to give VH justice. Deer Lawd knows I tried.

Never was a Van Halen fan. Must’ve been David Lee Roth screeching.

I was partial to Def Leopard myself.

 

[Weezer]

One thing I will always remember about the '80's, "Jump" is like a quintessential roller rink song.

 

[Vjcvette]

RIP Eddie Van Halen

Worst band ever. But the punchline to my favorite (yet crude) joke

Never got into VH either. So many big hits though

 

[Weezer]

'I Can See Clearly Now' singer Johnny Nash dies at 80

Not really familiar with the singer, but I've always liked that song. RIP.

You’re so... young.

I was a Sammy version of Van Halen but Edwards mastery of pinch filled harmonics, tap harmonics, two hand tapping, even the way he held a pic was so unique. Try playing rhythm that way. It’s impossible

Little guitars is my favorite VH song.

I was a die hard fan of DLR VH and I loved Sammy VH too.

Eddie and Angus are my two favorites, in that order. Not saying either or were the best, just saying my favorites.

Really saddened by losing Eddie.

RIP.

When I was 14 my dad wanted me to have a summer job so he took me to a music store in Nashville and I taught evh style lessons that summer. At the time I just liked being able to play guitar all day. But towards the end of it I started digging in on the little things he did that shaped what everyone was hearing when he played. Some of it I couldn’t get a lot of it I will never get. Lol.
