Beat me to it.

It doesn’t need stating how big an impact he had on rock guitar playing and shaping the genre in the late 70’s and 80’s. Great work on the solo from him here, ad lib apparently...... too many good one’s to post, a genuine part of my growing up.

Massive chain smoker and drinker and also used to hold his metal pick in his mouth when tapping.

Van Halen are one of the increasing number of bands I’ve grown to enjoy and explore much more since I’ve been working from home with either Spotify or Planet Rock on all day. I’m sure Blaze will be delighted to know that Maiden is another.

Not really into music, but Van Halen were different gravy.

Sad news, RIP

I don’t know how old that picture is but looking at it you wonder how Eddie’s no longer around but Tyler and Perry are. Shame Mick Mars and Keith Richards aren’t in the pic as well. Eddie probably still looks healthier than all four of them.

Fair point.
