  • RIP Eddie Van Halen

    I feel old
    After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.

    Feeling real old now... Helen Reddy, Mac Davis.

    Lot of others getting up there... Willie Nelson, Tommie Chong is in his 80's I think. Was watching Midnight Run with DeNiro and Charles Grodin yesterday... Grodin is 85 now.

    The debt that all men pay.

      Ain't talkin about love was the first Van Halen song I learned as a young guitar player. Now I'm an old guitar player. I'd like to kick Father Time right in the balls! RIP EVH.
      Formerly known as "Jeffro66".

        My favorite guitarist. Weird that I’m slightly shaken by the death of a celebrity. Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love is a top 5 song for me.

          I know he was respected by other guitarists, but I could never get into VH... was older when they came along.

          I grew up on Clapton, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, and Blues. Loved Stevie Ray Vaughn.

          Last concert I went to was Joe Bonamassa - the guy is just a savant in so many styles. I know Joe had a lot of respect for EVH.

          We're gettin old Harvey

            Never a fan. Not saying he wasn't good at what he did. I just didn't think what he did was very musical. Joe Bonamassa is the guy now.
            I can't run no more
            With that lawless crowd
            While the killers in high places
            Say their prayers out loud
            But they've summoned, they've summoned up
            A thundercloud
            They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

              I think anyone who defines an entire genre is an amazing artist. It’s a pretty short list. Jimmy and Eddie on guitar in the last 60 years. There’s a ton of music that never gets made without Eddie.
