Since Eddie WAS Van Halen that pretty much ends the band.

Loved Van Halen as a kid and into my adult years. To see those we grew up with and now die young is quite sobering. I am going to listen to some VH now.

I was just wondering about him the other day when I heard some VH on the radio. Sad news.

That hasn't stopped the Glen Miller Orchestra has it? More than 70 years without their front man and still going strong!

Any ideo can play a horn. Eddie could shread a guitar like no other. Only one that has ever come close to him is Randy Rhodes for uniqueness. Others are pale imatations. Saw them 5 times. Eddie was the best RIP,

If my aunt’s family history is correct, Eddie’s wife (or ex) is related to me through my great grandfather’s brother. Not sure if it is true, but I should ask my cousin if he has the family tree. I know the last family reunion I went to (back in 1989) there was about 500 people at the amusement park.
