Mark Stone?! WTF? Michael Anthony is the definitive Van Halen bass player.

Saw them once early 90's at Wembley Arena. Went with 2 friends on a Jolly. Saw Teenage Fanclub that weekend in London too.
 
Guttting, such a loss, without a doubt a rock guitar god RIP Eddie
 
Really touching tribute to him from Jean Simmons on GMB this morning.
The guy was a real genius. RIP.

AC/DC and VH had a little bit of beef in the early 80's, all friendly but instigated by Dave Lee Roth. I think it was around the time they both did Monsters of Rock together.

When VH first came out, Eddie used to tuen his back to the audience when he soloed so that no one could see how he did his 2 handed tapping (it was unheard of back then, maybe only Stanley Jordan was doing it).

His amp cabinet was encased in an old WW2 bomb case too.

First time I heard that was on the old Friday Rock Show with Tommy Vance in the early 80's. I rmember thinking WOW! WTF is that? I learned it a few years later. Can still do some of it now before my hands hurt lol.

Funny you should mention that. Tommy Vance used to use it as a kind of jingle and I remember him talking one night on his Friday Night Rock Show about how people had been writing in and asking what that piece of music was. It was a bit of a revelation because I wasn’t that clued up on on VH at that point, I’d only really heard Jump. Then my dad bought me one of those foreign cassettes that was like a definitive collection of everything they had done in the David Lee Roth era and I played it until I wore it out.
 
I was never a big Van Halen fan. Good band but not really my cup of tea.

Bloody loved this though. Takes me back to The Duke in the 80/90s.

RIP
