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 song I remember as a young one.

I saw Rush on the Moving pictures tour. I’ve been a fan since Fly by night!

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

I did too

I was Rush on the Moving pictures your. I’ve been a fan since Fly by night!

For me its Tom Sawyer. Now I watch the original video constantly. Just nothing like it anymore. I do like the opening drum solo Neil did, I forget the concert that was kinda recently, but it is second to NONE!!!

 

[Flippers4pups]

I did too

Neal went through hell. Both in his wife and daughter passing, then brain cancer. Man!

The 80's, what a GREAT decade of music. Its a darn shame it is slowly slipping away.

I hope Sammy hangs around for some time. He’s 72!

I know that there’s a division between Sammy and Diamond Dave Van Halen’s, but I still love the red rocker! Saw him on his Three lock box tour.


Man, I must be old! Lol

I want to read his book.

Back on Eddie, he was a huge influence on me. Sometimes music connects in the brain and his style of guitar playing always connected with me. Still does. Mind blowing!

Best guitar talent on song " JUMP". A legend to say the least who lived a great life.

 

[Jman76]

Like someone else mentioned...aint talkin bout love was the first VH song I learned on guitar. Was blown away by eruption, especially the neck tapping style. Never got there lol, but was fun to try

Just saw this on the news. Sad day for rock and roll.

I'm surprised he was only 65, thought he was much older.
