    Wow. I saw Mike play Eruption at LA 1  2013. What a gifted guitarist. He certainly pushed sonic boundaries. R.I.P.

    I just heard the news. So sad. He was definitely one of the greats. I never got to see VH live, but they definitely were part of my high school experience. I also had a cool EVH poster on my dorm room wall. Damn.

    I had read he wasn't doing well a while back.  It sucks he's gone.

    I got into Van Halen in the 80s.  1984 was my gateway into Van Halen.  I love that album so much.   Really glad I got the chance to see them in 2007.   With all the band infighting it seems liked I might not ever get the chance.

    Like I said on the other thread (two for Eddie VH?  Shit yeah), I was stunned when my wife told me the news this afternoon.  A really, really big loss.  Very sad.

    I'm just finding out about his passing minutes ago. One of a kind inventive guitar player. Another legend has passed on in the very tough year for musicians. I glad I caught them again a few years ago again with DLR.

    RIP, your legendary guitar playing well always live on.

    Peace

    bought a few songs last night. I actually really like Me Wise Magic, the "new" song with Dave from their greatest hits. I have never been a fan of the "guitar god", but obviously recognize the talent and inspiration he gave to literally millions of people, including Mike, and several guitarist friends of mine. I think that's why I've always liked the Sammy era more. Less noodle, more melody. Sure, there's blistering guitar solos, but the riff and the song take center stage during that era. 

    Listening to Humans Being right now. always really dug that one too. even the strange cadence (for a VH song) of Sammy's vocals during the verses.

    Van Halen was always one of those bands that I liked but never really dove into. And I enjoyed both Roth and Hagar eras.  There's nothing that I can say about Eddie that hasn't already been said elsewhere.  HUGE influence to modern rock!  Shred in peace!!

    i was a fan in the 90's with for unlawful carnal knowledge and balance, but interest fell off for me after nirvana and pearl jam appeared.

    Skip the last song, "How many Say I"  ;)

    Its not overall too bad a record, and I saw them on that tour and it was quite good, Cherone is a very versatile vocalist so they could draw the set list from the entire catalogue.
    But the public just wasn't having it. I've never heard Eddie say anything negative about Gary or vice versa,
