Eddie Van Halen changed how lead guitar was played. A real innovator and creative genius. RIP.

RIP Eddie, you will be remembered

Here, in France, one Van Halen song is played every two weeks in Marseille and every soccer fan knows it : Jump, which is the player's entrance them in the Velodrome, the stadium that hosts the soccer team of Marseille

I saw this and was also going to post the Yahoo! link. He was an incredible musician and will be missed. I *always* saw him smokin' cigs - so I am not surprised that cancer got him..

Confirmed. He led a hard life. The whole band did really. I remember having VH's first two albums. Fell out of interest after that. But I will say...what a guitarist. Add another member to the greatest nonliving rock band.

Sad day for Rock 'n' Roll. I still remember being crushed when Ronnie James Dio died. When Dimebag got shot too.

No idea why people say its hard to play this song. All you gotta do it press play.

Eddie was a virtuoso. Also an excellent pianist and keyboard player ...

So very talented. I'm very sad at his passing. He had his bouts with cancer. His tongue and of course, his throat. Being addicted to cigarettes. 😢

I echo your feelings about the first two albums. He had the added bonus of being married to Valerie Bertinelli.

 

[Harpsman]

Sad news. I was obsessed with him in my early teens. He brought us the greatest Rock'n'Roll intro/riff of all time among other things.

RIP Eddie

Such a shame EVH has passed away. A top guitarist and had the pleasure of seeing him twice. Such a shame his death thread has been raised by a complete dildo known as the white shite.
