    RIP Eddie Van Halen

    This one stings really bad. He was one of my guitar heroes growing up.

    What?! Today?! Oh man...

    That wrecks me. Cancer too, ugh. So fucking over that disease. Oh man, that hurt to read. Thanks for letting me know. Almost as bad as when we lost SRV

    1984 was the soundtrack to my youth...

    Man, VHII is one of my favorite albums of all-time. I didn't even know his cancer came back.

    There are some greats up there. But thank God we still have Malmsteen and Richie Blackmore.

    Can we add Buckethead to that list?

    I mean Vai, Haynes, KWS, Eric Johnson.

    There’s so great ones left but EVH was just the coolest in my opinion

    Yep. S&D just earned himself some pts with the Haynes comment. Few people play with his level emotion. IMO one of the best guitar solos ever from an emotional stylistic view was when warren haynes covered Neil Youngs Cortez the killer live in central park with Dave matthews. He has multiple solos in that song and each oozes raw emotion. It's incredible. Not technically difficult but it speaks to me.

    Did you guys know that the guitar that was in the album inlay of VHII is with Dimebag Darrell? EVH gave it to him at his funeral.
