Eddie Van Halen Dead
First Neil Peart, now Eddie Van Halen- 2020 just keeps getting worse. Arguably the greatest guitarist ever and founder of one of the most popular rock bands of all time. Let's hear some of your Van Halen memories or even just favorite song in general.
I have not listened to Van Halen in a long time but I remember doing some type of cherokee performance with my fake band and I think the songs were either Jump or Panama.
Eruption....
I used to draw guitars as a kid that looked like his. He was so good and I got to see them in concert with my dad about a decade ago. He's a legend no doubt.
Neil Peart and Eddie in the same year...wow
I was going to write a long, long post on this - but I'll keep it short:
He was one of the most transformational guitar heroes in the history, who paved way for new music styles, as well as guitar gear.
I've listened to him play for decades - ever since I started playing myself, listening to VH1 on LP which I borrowed from a buddy. It's been on-off for the past years, but his playing and style is basically comfort food for guitarists. He gets a lot of credit for his leads, but truth is, his overall style is very dynamic and just sounds "right". He was a tremendous rhythm player, and mastered the art of combining rhythm and lead, in a tight and fluid, yet loose sounding way.
It's been a rough year, as both him and Neil Peart were in my top 5 musicians list of all time. I grew up on Van Halen and Rush, and still listen to 'em from time to time. I had hopes for seeing them one last time, if for nothing else than the nostalgic trip, but all good things (must) come to an end.
It is so crazy how much more talented these guys in the 80s are compared to so called musicians these days. EVH vs. Cardi B haha gtfo
Guy put a microphone up to the exhaust of his Miura to record Panama. Idk why, but that image is one of the coolest things I can think of.
Fuck , I just found out about this through this very post. What a fucking shredder man, we lost the GOAT.
My dad took me to see them when I was 10. Still one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.
