Rest in Peace Eddie Van Halen
I can’t believe it! Another reason to say that 2020 definitely sucks. Guitar god Eddie Van Halen has lost his battle with cancer and has passed away today. Words can’t express my sorrow and shock. His contributions to the music, especially heavy metal are so well known, they don’t need me simply repeating it here. My condolences go out to his family and to all my fellow metalheads who will be saddened by his death.
Rest in peace Eddie
These are my two all time favourite Van Halen songs to share:

I saw him once, in 1986. I just wish I hadn’t gotten so drunk before the concert.

VH’s debut album was one of the best LP’s put by a new band back in the late 70’s.

I almost forget he played guitar on Beat it. A pretty good solo on that song.

Michael Jackson owes a lot of that song’s success to Eddie.

Definitely to Wolfie. That was a picture from a very old post, probably before you started following me.

Sucks. I hope Wolfe is appreciating all the love his dad is getting and well deserved at that.
