Eddie Van Halen Rest In Peace

Wow! Shock after shock. In the Rock-and-Roll world, you can't have a higher technical achievement than creating a new style of playing. EVH certainly did that. R.I.P.

Nice photos of a younger and healthier Eddie, as well as videos:

Incredibly sad news. He changed rock and roll forever. Time to go put on the ST album. 2020 can't get over with soon enough.

Aww man. R.I.P. Eddie

I just heard this.  How sad.  I've seen Van Halen many times in concert and Eddie was one of the best guitar players I've ever seen.

A great one! R.I.P. Eddie

RIP Eddie. My condolences to his family, his friends and the entire rock world.

So sad to see him go at so young an age.

I wish my memory were better as I used to live half a block from the Rock (had to edit that, confusing it with the cafe up in the hills), which was a biker bar in Van Nuys. Wet T-shirt nights, bar fights and all the beer I could drink. Hell’s Angels, Satan’s Slaves and others kind of had a truce at that place. My sister dated the asst. manager. And the band that sometimes played there before they were signed was Van Halen. Like I said, I wish my memory was better.

All the best,
Nonoise

Don't smoke !!!!!

AMEN! the first band I felt I fit in.

When van Halen opened their concert with poundcake, everyone was getting a hard one. Pure magic.
