Eddie Van Halen

[Lake X Kid]

I just saw this and I can’t believe it. Slash is who made me play the guitar, learning by pausing live shows on VHS tapes and imitating what I saw, but EVH shaped rock music in its best era unlike most others. I guess if there ever was a guitar god, he would be it. RIP EVH

My only negative about Eddie and Alex was them running Michael Anthony out of the band.....didn’t care to much for VH after that but who knows what the back story was....

The upside for Anthony is that he has been performing with Sammy H.

Was always a VH fan but not to the level I should have been, would I known.

Picked up and read a magazine today, on Eddie.

It listed his solo of “Eruption” as what put him on the map.

I grew up w/an older brother that hooked me on the Stones, Doobie Bro’s, Chicago etc.
To the point that I didn’t fully accept bands in my era like VH.

After I watched the video of his solo on Eruption..., I owe him an apology.

Mr Van Halen, I am a bigger fan now than ever.
RIP sir, we miss you.

What a bad ass he was!
