    Fuck you 2020!
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    What the hell! Was not expecting that. Bob Gibson the other day and now Eddie. 2 of the greatest at their craft. Hopefully no one else anytime soon.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    As I said in the thread in Other Music, the 2 men in the above photo are my 2 all time favorite musicians.
    My soul hurts today.
    RIP Edward.

    whether it was Roth or Hagar, my main draw to Van Halen was Eddie.  Innovator and legend.

    I heard from my wife this afternoon.  I was stunned.  Shit, the guy was 4 years younger than me.  WTF?  So very sad.
    R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen.  One of the best.

    So sad, that's just too young to go. Fuck cancer...

    The first thing I saw on the day of his death was the excerpt from Mike's obituary comparing Eddie to Mozart. That came unexpectedly from the German press but brought a little smile.

    We lost another great one! :(

    Oh, I totally agree kce.  Too young, all that energy, a great guy, a marvelous musician.  Gone too damn young.  Yes, fuck cancer!

    Dude was epic. Growing up in the late 70's/early 80's those first 4 VH albums were huge in developing my love of music. The first time I heard Eruption was like getting hit with lightning.
