[_Mike_]

If you have no idea who Eddie Van Halen was, GTFO

 

[HAPPY BUDDHA]

Dude produced the soundtrack to so many peoples teenaged years.

What?

Seriously, 2020 GAGF with a blunt, rusty object.

Very sad for his son, very close and loving relationship.

 

[Dinsdale]

I first learnt of the great man when I watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure as a kid. a



Tricking Ted's Dad into giving up the keys at The Cop Shop with Deputy Van Halen was also great

1984... what an album... I could've died in a firey car crash 100 times speeding like a lunatic with "Panama" blowing the Blaupunkts to the shizenhouser...

Vale...

Arguably the most iconic guitar riff in music history.

I read somewhere even his bandmates only found out he recorded it afterwards and were a little cheesed off.

The world would've been a much poorer place without Eddie. Just imagine how many millions he inspired to pick up a guitar and express themselves.

RIP Eddie, Rock On!

Yeh I read the story, everyone told him he was crazy to do it for nothing but he said he just wanted to. By all accounts a super guy, really feel for his family.

A true artist values his art over money.

And I dont believe it was even written, just played.
He came in and played what we know as that solo to show what it was he was thinking of doing and they said Thanks, all done! after having captured it on tape already.

First album is their greatest I reckon.

Amazing talent

I had serious hots for my HSC science teacher... her cans were majestic

Absolute Machine RIP

Inspired a generation with his playing and makes a 80s radio a blast to this day

Look, I wasn’t a “hair rock” fan at all, nor a “guitar god” type either, but I loved Eddie Van Halen, therefore I gave the cheesiness of Van Halen a free pass, he could really ****ing shred, but he could pen a tune during that era that put him head and shoulders above all others until the Gunners stuck their heads up.
He looked like the type of bloke you could walk up to and he’d give the time of day if he could afford it.
He had a smile that could burn a stadium down, I think that’s why I liked him so much, it was truly genuine and not many in America are, I can tell you that!
RIP
In the convo for GOAT in his genre, no doubting!

How’s this for A fun living room in your 20’s?

Just count those car sized speakers.. ...on just one side of the stage.

A slab and “dancing lessons from Michael” was the only payment requested
