muddycoffee   10 #3 Posted October 8, 2020 Sadly I have been expecting this for some time. He had part of his tongue removed some years ago and I heard that he wasn't well enough to have a hip operation at least 10 years ago.  I have been a fan of Van Halen since the late 1980s when my music choices were vastly increased by being a full time student with people from all over the UK. The Early Albums were truly ground-breaking and a showpiece of brilliant lead guitar innovation. Many people are only familiar with their more Commercial hits like Jump and the other great tunes on the 1984 album. To understand what made Eddie one of the greats, I believe you have to listen to the VHI, VHII, Diver Down and Women and Children first. What a sound the band had. What innovation from Eddie's Guitar and his finger tapping technique, now a mainstay of lead guitar playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
