    I was one of the lucky ones who saw VH on their 1st tour in 1978 - Flint, Mi. Backup to Montrose and Journey. What a great display of guitar chops with Schon and Montrose.....but, VH played their entire 1st LP and basically f-in blew the whole crowd away. After this show, I knew their days of being a backup band were OVER!! RIP Eddie, you're up there with the legends...and thanks Mr. Lemmo for a wonderful tribute. I know this is hard on you...😔

    Back in the late 70's our local FM 'rocker' was prohibited by terms of its Government of Canada broadcast license from playing stuff as heavy as "Runnin' With the Devil' and similar VH tunes. Instead, in the summer of '79, they played the heck out of "Dance the Night Away'...and we were hooked. When that station finally had its license terms amended to allow for harder rock, around the summer of 81, they broke the news to the listeners by letting Eddie and the boys do the "talking" with Eruption into You Really Got Me. Damn near blew the windows out of my mom's Tercel. RIP, EVH.

  • @jimbonacum8917

    It is a sad day for all guitarists. Eddie was technically brilliant he was so exceptional in that regard that it is easy to overlook the fact that the things he played were completely unique and original. Every guitarist who is old enough can remember the first time they heard Eddie. There were many great players who came before him with Clapton being the most prominent. And while Eddie acknowledged Clapton's influence he certainly didn't sound like him. Like Hendrix, who is probably the only other guitarist in his league, Eddie had his own voice. You can always recognize his style (kudos to Mike for demonstrating some of his classic licks) because nobody played like that before Eddie arrived on the scene. And Eddie didn't try to play like anyone else. I can only imagine the incredible creativity of his mind and you can hear it exploding out of him when he played. There have been those who try to imitate him but they always fall short because a copy is never as good as the original. And even if you have the chops to execute some of what he played, remember. Execution is maybe 10% of music. The rest is divided between expression and creation. When you listen to what he created and realize how completely original it was you can start to appreciate his genius.
    All of us should count ourselves lucky to have been alive during his lifetime and to have had the chance to see and hear him as he developed as an artist. I'm sorry to have been babbling on but this is a terrible loss. He was a giant of an artist and attention must be paid to his passing.

    The Van Halen family use to live just two houses down from my parent's house in Pasadena. Eddie use to come over to hang out with my older brother, they played baseball together. I was 7 in 69, Eddie was 14, same as my big brother. Eddie was very laid back and a great guy to be around. You would always hear music in the Van Halen house, the brothers played the piano and Father played the clarinet. The last time I saw Eddie was when I was 18 in 1980... Rest in Peace Ed...

    I first heard Van Halen on the radio, The Border Blaster X-ROK 80, 150,000 watts from Cd. Juarez Mexico/EL Paso Texas the Top 40 station that just kicked major ass! Hearing "You Really Got Me" in early 1978 and then "Running With The Devil" singles on the air. Then I heard the album. It was like no other. Just the best ever!! RIP Eddie.

    It's like a piece of my childhood died right along with him. Rest easy and fly high Eddie.

    I'll never forget the first time I heard you play. 11 concerts later and being able to meet you changed my musical world. You'll always be my guitar hero. Tell SRV and Prince hello.

    The best performance from Lemmo ever. That intro was killer. Eddie would be proud for sure.

    Thank you for such a wonderful and heartfelt tribute to our King Edward.
    The Missus woke me up crying and for the entire day we couldn’t listen to a note of King Edward without the waterworks comin’ - so many good times with his music -it felt weird
    We found watching interviews with him and other kind folks like yourself paying tribute to Eddie makes it somewhat easier to bear. We literally had a day of intensely mourning. It might sound daft but Ed’s playing and attitude is hugely responsible for inspiring me to be the person I am.
    There’s a Bad Religion ( Punk Band ) Lyric that says it al “ Everyone you love leaves a mark on your soul,
    The world is a little less bright without King Edward
    Im fighting cancer and depression and its been especially tough with the news of Eddie’s passing but hearing all these wonderful tributes and reaction and the love and joy he brought and is bringing….makes it a tad bit easier
    Much love and respect! Thank you for honouring our King Edward. Eddie's music touched us so deeply because of his love for the instrument and the innovations he has done. To us, it feels like the brightest and best brother, Uncle, friend mentor you ever had is not in our realm anymore. You have Nothing but love from the rock/metal / guitarist community, respect for your tribute to EVH, Rock n Metal does not get the exposure and respect that other genres get.
    So, you are forever in the hearts of many a Rock / Metal / Guitar fan's hearts. Stay safe & all the best wishes to you. Watch this Video Interview and you'll see why we're hurting so much...The world is a little less bright without King Edward This is a brilliant interview if you haven’t seen it ruclips.net/video/yb26D8bBZB8/видео.html&ab_channel=Z%C3%B3caloPublicSquare
    most people don’t know the King Edward was a bi-racial half Asian / half white Immigrant and that his lifelong friends were the black kids who stood up for them when they came to the US. A definitive American Dream story.
    Eddie buried Dimebag Darrell from Pantera with his original Bumblebee Guitar when Dime’s life partner Rita asked him to make a Copy Ed said “an Original deserves an Original”
    Vinnie Paul ( Paantera ) Dimebag’s brother says the last words his brother said to him was Van f+*in Halen’ their nightly ritual before hitting the stage.
    Frank Zappa loved and respected Eddieand got him to teach Dweezil who was obsessed with ED When Frank died Ed was THE 1st first to call with condolences and to offer any assistance.
    He was the 1st to mod his guitars in such an extreme way chasing tone, Creating the Super Strat - Humbuckers in Strat style guitars, Waxing Pickups, Variac on his amp and did his first 2 albums with the original Fender Whammy which led to the creation of the Floyd Rose Whammy Bar. His Rhythm Playing was funky, tasteful and rockin’ and his songwriting is the reason his loss is affecting grandparents, parents, kids and all ethnicities alike as Van Halen songs will live forever.
    Enjoy EVH ruclips.net/video/L9r-NxuYszg/видео.html&ab_channel=Hazardteam

    I was 18 in 1978. VH was part of the sound track of my coming of age. I was there. I know what Eddie meant to Michael Lemmo. I want much more.
