Eddie Van Halen dead at 65

[SexyGreyFox]

This is one of my true guitar heroes and I went to see him on the very first UK tour supporting Black Sabbath.

A true loss.

Gutted.

EVH was the reason I got in to guitar and the inspiration behind my username (obviously). We had “dance the night away” as one of the final songs at our wedding and it got a great reaction from the guests.

Listening to VH has been a daily part of my life since I can remember and I can’t overstate how influential the group were on my youth.

In fact, I was teaching my 9 year old daughter how to play “Jump” on the keyboards just 2 days ago

RIP

I don't normally feel celebrity deaths, but I feel this one.

Very sad. One of very few guitar "gods" to have graced this planet.
