I was never a big fan of Eddie’s, and I honestly prefer Van Hagar over the early stuff.
That being said, I’d be a fool to deny the impact Eddie had on rock music, particularly metal. (My personal guitar heroes are along the lines of Clapton, Page, and Jeff Beck.) I was very sad to see that he’d passed.
Wow!
Sounds like my cassette tape carrying case in 1977 — although, I also had Rainbow, Rush, and Yes in the case too.
