RIP, Eddie Van Halen
RIP, Eddie Van Halen
Dead at 65. My first favorite band was Van Halen. 1984 was the first album (cassette) I ever bought. A buddy and I in fifth grade used to graffiti those “VH” signs everywhere. RIP, EVH.

Wow, me too on first cassette bought (I actually bought 1984 and one other). I don’t listen to Van Halen any more but sure did back then.

I’m shocked that DLR outlived him.

I was trying to explain this to my 14 yo. I said, “imagine if Drake died. That’s basically what this means to anyone who came of age in the 1980s”
RIP EVH.

Re: RIP, Eddie Van Halen
What a shocker. He was a rock icon. VH was such a part of my high school and college years. Friends of mine won the very first MTV basement tapes and opened for VH for their entire North America tour.

Re: RIP, Eddie Van Halen
Drake? Drake. I’ve heard that name. I think musician but not sure. Let me google him.
Actually not kidding much.

Re: RIP, Eddie Van Halen
I saw him with Roth live a bit over 30 years ago. Always been a huge fan of great rock guitarists (Satriani, Vai, Howe, Goven, Beck, Macalpine, Moore, Hendrix, and many more). Eddie was so fast, so clean, and had so much style it was a life experience to see live (which was a lot different than his studio stuff).
RIP
RIP

RIP your goofy ass smile.
Re: RIP, Eddie Van Halen
Saw VH live in 78 incredible........... EVH was a genius. It's hard to convey how radical a change his guitar sound (the Brown sound) and technique were in the late 70's. He was as influential as Hendrix or Jeff Beck. Maybe more so. Sad sad sad.......

Re: RIP, Eddie Van Halen
A friend of mine posted in his FB late that he was a headliner at our small town, Lake Butler, FL, back in 1986. I started researching and found out that his mother has Indonesian. I didn’t know that.
It's a beautiful world! Gerald.
Re: RIP, Eddie Van Halen
As a friend who opened for them on two tours said of Eddie. He was confident, shy and had an incredible work ethic. He also was a huge influence on all rock guitarists that followed in his footsteps.Nomadz wrote:Saw VH live in 78 incredible........... EVH was a genius.

Re: RIP, Eddie Van Halen
His dad was Dutch classical musician and he was born in the Netherlands. They immigrated to California when he was 7 allegedly to escape the racism that his Indonesian mother received in Amsterdam. Interesting stuff.Axelay2003 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 5:36 pmA friend of mine posted in his FB late that he was a headliner at our small town, Lake Butler, FL, back in 1986.

I remember the cig in the guitar strings, and this dual neck guitar pic looked familiar for some reason.JDC222 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 8:50 amI read that too...interesting theory but doubtful really.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 7:07 pmyep. he might be crazy as fuck but he is still health. last i read about him he travels every few weeks and lives hotel to hotel. weird ass dude for sure.
