EVH "reinvented electric guitar" - FZ.

RIP Eddie! One of my favorite concert memories of all time is of Eddie pounding Jack Daniels and getting to the point of not being able to stand at the end of the show, but he could still make the guitar his bitch! Safe travels to the other side Mr Van Halen you are and were truly a guitar GOD
Well one is Van Halen one is for van haggar and one is for the Gary cherone lineup. Are you even a fan?Quote:

The 80’s were great with guys like Eddie, I don’t jack shit about guitar, but those who do had him up there with the greatest. I believe it. Rip

We quote the phil Hartman pitch at the end regularly when drinking beers after work.
And Eddie Van Halen was a really good guitar player.
And Van Halen was good because they were Van Halen... without them... there would be no Van Halen.
I was at the time the first 5 albums came out. Its history, but not really my thing anymore.Quote:

So thank you Eddie for being a big part of that. RIP
Well fuck. RIP, Eddie.
While I never saw the original line-up, I did catch Van Halen (Haggar?) on the Balance tour when it hit Civic Stadium. I think it was my first concert, ever. Eddie melted faces even then.
That Poundcake video brought back some strong middle and high school memories.
First concert of my life was Valen Halen at Continental Airlines Arena. Still remember the Panama performance clear as day.
RIP
1978, leaving the bay area to ski Alpine at 430 am with 3 buddies. We fired up a J and put in the cassette of a new band that was on the radio called Van Halen ... never will forget that drive.
Sure that wasn’t an 8track?
oh.... i thought his name was van hagar.
Spanish Fly and Eruption ... both are extremely challenging. Eruption was a game changer though - that’s when whammy bars, heavy phaser and tapping hit the mainstream.Quote:

Sad day indeed. The first cassette I ever bought was Diver Down. Stopped listening after Diamond Dave split. They were never the same.
I duno anything about guitar but i read something about how he did it all without effects pedals, he was the effect ?
they been playing his stuff on CBC all day
Waited in line overnight at Memorial Coliseum in 82' and got 12th row tripping on some window pane. Thought the glass exterior was melting around 2 am....
I was being facetious. It’s a joke since they had so many lineups.Quote:
