I was just playing this song for my nephew yesterday. He was like, "whoa".

Damn, this sucks. Too young to have ever seen him in his prime, but went to the reunion tour in 2007, I believe, at Key Arena and he still could shred like a madman. GOAT.

The 3 most important guitarists in the history of rock are Berry, Hendrix and Van Halen

Hard agree on the first two, but Page is just as important as EVH....and us metal heads would argue Iommi is in the convo

I think Page is just as “great” if you will as those three. But he wasn’t as “revolutionary”. Beck and Clapton were doing similar stuff already. There was nobody that played like those 3 before they hit it big.

This hurts. The one good thing I hope to hear is Wolfie opening up the vaults of 5150 to see what has been recorded

The thing about Eddie - he just LOOKED like he was having the greatest time playing his instrument. That nothing in the world was more fun than playing guitar.

With all due respect to my dad, I will say that he texted me the other night to ask if Van Halen was part of the Seattle grunge scene.
