RIP Eddie! One of my favorite concert memories of all time is of Eddie pounding Jack Daniels and getting to the point of not being able to stand at the end of the show, but he could still make the guitar his bitch! Safe travels to the other side Mr Van Halen you are and were truly a guitar GOD

Music on the car 8-track that would get you a ticket for sure, I liked it
might be easier to count how many of them weren't assholes
cuz its fucking rock role and that was the territory
and statisticaly we are going to lose all of them rockers pretty quick due to age/ lifestyle
and then just after that ... its you n meLast edited by XXX-er; 10-06-2020 at 05:22 PM.

FUCK YES!!
Schmitts gay is one of the last funniest things on SNL!!
We quote the phil Hartman pitch at the end regularly when drinking beers after work.
And Eddie Van Halen was a really good guitar player.
And Van Halen was good because they were Van Halen... without them... there would be no Van Halen.

I remember my elementary school friend busted out that first VH record and it was opening up a whole new world along with some other great stuff. Before it was like Santana, The Mac, and Eagles. Heavy metal or whatever you want to call it took hold big time.
So thank you Eddie for being a big part of that. RIP

Well fuck. RIP, Eddie.
While I never saw the original line-up, I did catch Van Halen (Haggar?) on the Balance tour when it hit Civic Stadium. I think it was my first concert, ever. Eddie melted faces even then.
That Poundcake video brought back some strong middle and high school memories.

1978, leaving the bay area to ski Alpine at 430 am with 3 buddies. We fired up a J and put in the cassette of a new band that was on the radio called Van Halen ... never will forget that drive.

Eddie Van Halen has died
Spanish Fly and Eruption ... both are extremely challenging. Eruption was a game changer though - that’s when whammy bars, heavy phaser and tapping hit the mainstream.
I think the drill thing from Poundcake was beyond cool. Not a crazy lick ( he might use it again on the main solo) , but it stands out . He had so many unique techniques - RIP!

Sad day indeed. The first cassette I ever bought was Diver Down. Stopped listening after Diamond Dave split. They were never the same.
