Are you ready to sign up for a lesson with him yet?

Edit: he apparently also released a book on singing. Take my money!

I need to learn the 'quack and release onset'. No idea what it means, but I intend to watch his vid

Shit. Eddie Van Halen died of cancer.

RIP, thank you for all your great music. Electric guitar playing wouldn't be the same without your contributions.

RIP Edward Lodewijk van Halen.

One very good friend of mine is gutted. Such an influence and hero.

Van Halen aside, for me he will always be connected to that incredible Beat It solo.

Indeed. This is a really cool story about EVH:

Speechless. He was my favorite guitarist as a kid. Will be playing Van Halen all day.

Terrible news.

And yet, after reading this:

Eddie died at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California. His wife, Janie, was by his side

...my brain can’t help but think “woah, oh, oh, Janie’s crying...”

I really am awful.

Wow, not what I expected to read after the preceding posts... R.I.P.

If you think that was bad, Tone Loc snuck into the hospital to record 6 second snippets of Janie’s crying for his comeback single!

One of mine too, never got the chance to see him live, he actually even went to the states to see VH one time but the gig got cancelled because Eddie went into rehab.

That riff is playing on loop in my head right now.
