We will never see the likes of him again.
I'm not even a huge fan but he was one of those top tier players.


 :-\

Terrible news (if not entirely unexpected),,,, a real one of a kind prodigy. Amazing at every musical endeavor he was involved with.   This one hurts for sure...

Never understood the appeal of Van Halen. It's proto-cock rock with some shredding on top.

Quelle surprizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Was never a fan of them myself, although admittedly never ventured past the big singles. His legacy and influence on the guitar though is unquestionable

Ah lads check out their early albums, all great.  Ain't talking about love has inspired many a young lad to pick up a guitar. Super riff.

So flagellating the guy is the only response allowed? His playing and influence are undisputable, but to my ears it's a case of having amazing chops and ideas wedded to meh songs and shitty lyrics.

You're a cock.

some arseholes on this thread alright,  probably heard jump and a couple hagar tunes.
1st album was the best debut album ever.
VH1, VH2, FAIR WARNING,  WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST all amazing.
A travesty that there's no proper 80s cleaned up live stuff officially released.

Flagellating means whipping or flogging. Just saying.

On a scale of 99.9 to 100 how much do you hate yourself?  :laugh:

Also for self-abuse. One off the wrist or someone else's. Just saying. :P

Van Halen never meant a thing to me - couldn't tell you a name of one of their tunes, besides Jump. By all accounts here, Eddie was a tremendous player. Shall have a listen to some of the aforementioned tunes you should listen to.
