Such a bummer. Love Van Halen so much.

Hot for Teacher has been my ringtone for my wife (who is a teacher) for years. And Eruption was my alarm for years as well. Such a great way to start the day.

Damn. Sucks for sure. RIP

RIP Eddie. Many memories growing up listening to your music. You were one of the greats!

Such a bummer. Love Van Halen so much.

As a child of the 80s, I hear you. Van Halen cassettes, didn't matter which album, were a must-have in the car.

 

[HalfFish]

That’s sad. Soundtrack to my adolescence... Happy Trails, Eddie...

Damn 2020 has been a shitty year for losing people. Hell of a Axe Man, RIP Eddie!

Very sad. A great one I got to see live only 1 time.

Fair warning tour at Boston Garden was amazing . 2nd loudest concert ever for me. He could really play

 

[arch3r]

First concert ever - 1984 tour. Still today my all time favorite band. Fuck you 2020.

I saw Diver Down, 1984 and 5150 tours. Van Halen was the main band for me in high school and a year or two after! Quite a bummer. When VH 1 and 2 came out it really was something different than all the Styx and Cheap Trick I was listening to. I think they put rock and roll on notice with that first album!

Our youngest son is a guitar player and was also a fan.

I hated "Panama " after being stationed in Panama

That riff. Hits them feels big time

Jump was one of the first songs I ever loved as I little kid. My mom would put 1984 on the huge record player we had and I’d rock out!

He’s on my Mt Rushmore of Guitar players.

Rest easy

 

[krafticus]

I always wanted to see Van Halen in concert, but never had the opportunity. It’s the one concert I regret missing.

RIP Eddie

 

[Colquhoun]

Pro musicians and fans agree that when EVH hit the scene, he changed EVERYTHING. To this day, that first album, especially considering the music of that time... was simply colossal.

Johnny Nash just died, too. "I Can See Clearly Now" for those young'ns out there.

[Chiphuntr]

First concert I ever went to was Van Halen 1984. Great band, thoughts go out to the family......RIP

 

[Legend5555]

A legend and guitar revolutionary. Van Halen has been in my playlists for years and years.
