Eddie van Halen RIP

[lefty goldblatt]

His "tapping" technique, was influenced by another hero of mine, Steve Hackett (Genesis).

What a guitarist. So sad.

 

[OB1]

Absolutely.
Arguably, along with Appetite and Definitely Maybe, the greatest debut ever.

Nah, it just is the greatest debut album - literally fucking changed rock music forever thank's to Ed's genius.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Awful news.

Eruption was one of my favourite solos ever.

RIP

Has never been one of my “go to“ bands but I have enjoyed a few of their concerts over the years.

Another black mark for the year 2020.

Sad news,people have their own opinions on guitarists but Eddie was up there amongst the best, R.I.P Mr Van Halen..

 

[PinkFinal]

Was looking at photos of his guitars only last night, not really a fan of VH but always liked their song Why Can't This Be Love and his playing on Beat It.
