oh no. I dabble in guitar and he was an iconic player. Everyone ... I mean everyone including superstars ... copied Eddie Van Halen in the 80s.

IIRC, his father died relatively young of the same thing.

Genes still play a big role.

I literally was blasting Van Halen in my car the other day.

This is such sad news for those of us who love rock music.

Rest in Peace, Eddie Van Halen.

So sad. He was in the top five most innovative rock guitarists. RIP

Oh man, Eddie was a great guitarist. Played hard and was an original.

RIP - Eddie, you will be missed.

Well damn, that’s rough to read. The world lost Neil Peart the day after my Dad passed, now we lose Eddie? This is turning into a terrible year.

Sad to hear. Although VH wasn’t my style of music, the guy was unquestionably among the best, and hey, if he was good enough for Les Paul, what more can be said?

Favorite story about Eddie Van Halen was when he was watching the movie “This Is Spinal Tap” with friends. He was the only one in the room who wasn’t amused. Friends asked him why he wasn’t laughing. He replied “all of this stuff happened to me.”
