Another bit of 2020 stinking hard.... Saw them a handful of times but opening with Poundcake and the drill to the guitar on the Carnel Knowledge tour gives me goose bumps to this day.... RIP Eddie

I am SO glad I grew up in the time of AWESOME rock bands.

An amazing musician, RIP! Spent a lot of hours trying to learn his tapping technique when I first picked up a guitar, thought that was the coolest thing ever.

Saw them on the 1984 tour. Man, what a loss! Very sad!

As I did when Neil Peart passed away, I see a binge Van Halen night on youtube ahead.

When Neil passed, I cried. A grown blank man, I did.

I would have loved to see the Fair Warning tour, too young. That I feel was their dirty dark album and I loved it!

I would have to say that their hasn't been a week since he passed that I didn't watch Tom Saywer on youtube at least once. Now Van Halen will join that as their are several songs I remember as a young one. I am always drawn to the solo acts, Neils and now Eddie van Halens.

Same! I missed out on a lot of good stuff being too young lol

Did the fact that he was 65 also make you feel a little old? Cause I was like what!!! Man the years go by......

 

[jcbasile]

Just started learning Aint talking bout love and mean street on my electric guitar a few days ago. Watched some interviews and playing demos. He was an amazing guitarist and better teacher, even as a somebody who never watched him live this one sucks

Shut your mouth, LOL!!! ;Hilarious

I was actually feeling the same way. The fact that I watched these bands in real time makes me feel old. I always feel that the Hair Band era was overlooked, but they have some of the best musicians of all-time.

Now if we loose Pat Benatar this year I will truly be upset to say the least. That would be the Tri-fector.
