  • I hate reporting this but...

    I just saw on MSN and my Google news feed that Eddie Van Halen died from throat cancer earlier today...

      LEGEND.

      RIP the brown tone.

      What a legacy on rhythm, fills, lead, tone and love of the instrument.

      Those songs.......what a chapter in so many lives from high school through today......

      I took delivery of my EVH 2020 Frankie relic a month or so ago and it plays like a dream. I will keep it forever.

            You know, Charvel and Jackson in no small part owe their success to EVH. Eddie sourcing parts from Wayne Charvel, then making it, Charvel got to ride the rocket with Eddie. This very forum exists in part because of Eddie. RIP

                The guy who took the book on "how to play guitar", ate it and spit out his own
                "There's nothing taking away from the pure masculinity I possess"

                -"You like Anime"

                "....crap!"

                  How many tennis rackets became guitars while we
                  did our own Impressions of Eddie, as we became
                  Eddie long enough to play Eruption


                  Thank You, Eddie.
                  Your Inspiration And Innovation Will Live On
                  Through Countless Generations Yet To Come.
                  Rest In Peace

                    Phillip McKnight said in a recent video about Eddie that he pretty much created what would become the superstrat when he first swapped a humbucker into his strat.

                      He wasn't just one of the greatest, he was one of the most innovative and influential rock guitarists ever.
                      RIP

                          Godspeed Eddie!

                          You did excellent man!

                          There is definitely a disturbance in the force.

                          2020 sucks even more!

                          This has been all over the net of course.

                          Saw you, the original band back in the day..

                          Although DLR is king, glad you let Sammy into the band so that Hot for Teacher would be a raise in chakra level and mostly of the times as in Right Now!


                          And although Mike Anthony has that great high signature VH backup voice glad you let your son Wolfie into the band for the thrill of playing in his dad's band!
