RIP Eddie Van Halen

[Beanz]

65. Cancer.

His playing like his smile was infectious and full of character unlike a lot of his imitators. That impish ability to endow a guitar lick with such bluesy innuendo is often missed and understandable when his technique was so blinding.

For me that is demonstrated as well in his mirroring Roths louche delivery in, Ice Cream Man, as in any other Van Halen song.

A million air guitarists were still not be able to keep up.

RIP Eddie.

Wow sad news. R.I.P. Eddie.

I could never think of Eddie without also thinking what a lucky S.O.B. he was, having married the not-too-shabby Valerie Bertinelli.

How many players finger tap & don't know who started it?! LOL! 1984 was my first time being introduced to an entire rock album. What a gem.
Eddie V. Go head & Jump!
