Logged in to post the sad news to minded people.
That first album was the soundtrack to stuff we won't discuss here.
*turns glass upside down*

 

A True guitar hero one of the best in Rock in his era; Jump is masterclass in song intro/riffs and solo's.
Sorry to here he had a drawn out fight with the big C.
All my guitar hero's are dying! makes me feel old.

 

Let’s hope he’s not running with the devil...

 

Sad to hear of his passing. The fellow was one of the first rock guitar 'Gods' and a true innovator. wasn't quite my own taste in playing but was imaginitve and technically excellent. He is also the artist that Peavey created the legendary 5150 amplifier for and that has become the 'standard' model of valve amplifier for Rock/Metal and Thrash guitarists and a bloody good amplifier all round. Fellow has left a big footprint on the world or Rock and Metal.

 

Rip EVH.

 

So sad. This guy changed the way to play the guitar.

 

Gone but not forgotten Eddie

 

RIP Eddie Rock on and Johnny Nash RIP, Rock & Reggae man

 

Who?

 

You know. Eddie.

 

I wasn't a big fan of Van Halen but fairly recently I listened to the whole eponymous album and suddenly I got it. That was a hell of a debut for 1978.

 

EVH also performed on albums by other artists. The memorable guitar riff in Michael Jackson's hit "Beat it" from his Thriller album was Eddie's.

 

His sound/riffs still sound fresh.

Howzat? That’s genius.

Now we can imagine him and RJD getting it together. Top that. Nope.
