Guitar Legend Eddie Van Halen Dies Of Cancer at Age 65
His death was announced by his son, Wolf Van Halen, on Twitter. "I can't believe I'm having to write this," the statement said, "but my father, Edward Lodewijk Van Halen, has lost his long and arduous battle with cancer this morning. He was the best father I could ever ask for. Every moment I've shared with him on and off stage was a gift."

I had this cat we had found as a kitten in an abandoned house. He used up about 12 of his allotted 9 lives and was 17 years old. All the younger cats kept falling over dead, yet he lived on.
Finally figured out he was sucking their souls out of their bodies.
This too, is the story of Keith Richards and Ozzie.

Yeah, was it the Us Festival or something where they hit the national page for the first time?
There were some pretty good acts on stage, then Van Halen swaggered up and blew the entie venue to pieces, leaving the flaming wreckage behind for the other acts to pathetically try to follow.
Eddie racked up Eruption and the entire crowd was completely stunned. Other than East LA clubgoers, nobody had ever heard anything like that before in their lives.

EVH was one of the players along with Peter Frampton or Eric Johnson.
Obviously he didn't get EVH or Frampton to improvise but it goes to show what kind of influence the greats still have.

When they kicked David Lee Roth out of the band, which I thought was sad, and announced Hagar was going to lead I thought "well hot damn, this is going to be some tasty guitar god heaven"
And Eddie decided he was Mozart on the keyboards instead. Which he wasn't.
I mean, I like a lot of Van Hagar, it just wasn't remotely anything like I hoped it would be.

With all due respect on the occasion of Van Halen's passing, if this is true ( and Beato is great) , Eddie has a lot to answer for.
He spawned two generations of masturbatory shredders with lightning fast fingers who know nothing of passion or restraint. Lots of self-indulgent wasting of notes.
The instrument should serve the song, not the other way around.

EVH was one of the players along with Peter Frampton or Eric Johnson.
Obviously he didn't get EVH or Frampton to improvise but it goes to show what kind of influence the greats still have.
Posted by: Thomas Bender at October 06, 2020 04:07 PM (1I+VA)
I was surprised that the Faux Frampton solo was probably the best, but he didn't use the Voice Doodle or whatever they called that damn thing.
I actually would've like to see a StH solo utilizing that.
Eric Johnson was next best. And Fake EvH came in third.
YMMV.

It's in David Lee Roth's autobiography, it was included to see if all of the requirements were read. If they walked in and saw brown M ampersand M's, it was highly likely that some of the important technical matters were missed.
IIRC, there was a time that no one read the weight requirements and the floor of the venue sank in.

I was similar in thought. When they announced Sammy, I thought it was going to be a "super group," but alas, Eddie didn't let him play guitar.
When I saw them in concert, they announced that while Eddie wasn't playing the keyboard parts life, it was pre-recorded by him before the show.
He should've let Sammy play.

If I could ask Sammy Hagar one question, it would likely be how he avoided prancing around like a fag when he got into his 60's like Mick Jagger and David Lee Roth.
I know Mick pranced most of his career, but it got worse as he aged.

Eddie was good, but there is a whole lot more to guitar than just playing fast. Lots of people have good tone, lots of people play fast, it is VERY difficult to do both. It always sounded gimmicky to me.

Yeah a lot of musicians did hammerdowns long before him (I mean, they were kind of invented in the 50s by guys like Roy Clark and Les Paul on electric guitar, but Spanish Guitarists were doing it on acoustic for ages). But he did it differently and in a new way.

I agree. Its not easy to do what he did and make it work, he had both talent and skill and musical ability. A lot of guys shred fast and furious without the musical talent he had.
The 90s equivalent of that was the vocal gymnastics sopranos in pop. For every Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey, who had good instincts on when to be showy and when to hold a note and let it soar, you got the Christina Aguileras that just did whatever.

When the band was out with Sammy the last time, Eddie looked... really sick. Sammy Hagar, on the other hand, looked great. That was about 2005. The last time they were out with DLR was 2015, and Eddie didn't look that good then.
So really, not surprising. I was really close to Tom Petty backstage a few weeks before he died (he walked right past me), and to say he looked like walking death was an understatement.

It was a safety check. If the road crew came into the backstage area and brown MandM's were in the dish, they knew to make sure to really check the rigging and electrical to make sure that it was where they needed it for their equipment. If they were not in the dish, they felt pretty comfortable that everything was up to specs.
Trust me when I say that arena staff are not some of the most thorough at doing their jobs.

He now, not every Gen X thought he was a prophet. When he died, it was hardly a surprise. All you had to do was read the lyrics he wrote to realize the guy was a mess. That crazy wife didn't help matters either. Foo Fighters was/is a way better band than Nirvana ever was.

I never got into Nirvana or the Foo Fighters.
It was April 1994, and I was minding my own business when my mother asks: "Did you hear about the singer for Nirvana?"
"No."
"He killed himself."
"Oh."
It wasn't a surprise to me because the last song they recorded can be found on "The Beavis and Butt-head Experience": "I Hate Myself And Want To Die".
But again, Mr. Cobain did exactly zero for me.

There's no point being all "sour grapes" about it, but the whole generation of grunk or whatever they call it was a bunch of snot nosed boys who listened to their Sonic Youth, Replacements, Husker Du, and maybe a bit of this and that mixed in, and somehow... they made this huge splash. Selling millions of records, selling out stadiums.
Meanwhile, the acts that came just before them, the ones who sliced through the overwrought mainstream rock, for the most part continued in obscurity, or left the business and started selling lumber at the hardware store.

I hope the landowner sues their asses. Because this is different from advertising, this is protected under the 1A. Maybe they should be more concerned about illegals without registered cars or insurance, or the idiots driving by braille at 80 while texting.

Sorry to hear about Eddie, from what I've heard, he was one of the nice guys that was the heart of Van Halen and a great guitar player..
Another great guitar player, recently deceased could also blow you away with sheer talent. For a seminar on technical expertise in playing, watch the Roy Clark you tube video (there are also performance videos of this) guest starring on the Odd Couple tv show. He is playing Malaguena (sorry no can do accent marks). https://preview.tinyurl.com/y5ypyh26
Also a great funny but technically expert banjo duet with all time great banjo player Buck Trent performing Dueling Banjos (an older Hee Haw version and a later one). https://preview.tinyurl.com/y58sxydh 1975 version.
Also want to put in a word for little known Richard Thompson (for a sample of his chops--find Tear Stained Letter from his album Hand of Kindness). https://preview.tinyurl.com/y4ubmkxh

It IS good news! This is Tyler County, town is Woodville. Texas is kind of goofy with names - Rusk is in Cherokee County, Henderson is in Rusk County. Athens is in Henderson County. Woodville is in Tyler County, and Tyler is in Smith County.

I thought so too, until I heard of an unknown called Greta Van Fleet about 3 years ago. Don't know about their new stuff, but their EP kicked ass and was refreshingly new. For a band whose parents undoubtedly played Rush, Zeppelin, etc, they are good.

Brennan responded on CNN:
"If in fact what the Russians were alleging, that Hillary was trying to highlight the reported connections between Trump and the Russians -- and that's a big 'if' -- there is nothing at all illegal about that."

Not for me. It all sounds the same.
I'd rather listen to old YouTubes of SkyDog.

(and yeah, the Edge is who doesn't belong. U2 most overrated over.) Back to White--heck, the emotion and style of "jolene" -- that type of thing reminds me of Lyle Lovett mixing up all different varieties of American music...and White brought back, so to speak, Loretta Lynn, with a newly-produced piece of music, carefully crafted. His trad-country stuff with Brendon Benson interesting, too.
Range. But Oh, geez, Eddie-----

My god, you're SO right. I hadn't considered that. Maybe that's why each of these recent musicians' passing has been a gut shot. Each freaking time.

In my opinion, AIC's best song. Very raw vocally and emotionally. My favorite of theirs to play on guitar.

A 1984 live version of Richard Thompson's Tear Stained Letter as well https://preview.tinyurl.com/y59kos99
A good live version from another guitar legend, Pete Townshend playing acoustic at the Secret Policeman's Other Ball
Pinball Wizard and a rave version of Don't Get Fooled Again.

But even legends like Pete Townshend and Dave Gilmour can get hung up on a unique tuning.
Funny Dave Wakeling short interview (three minutes or so) discussing Townshend trying to figure out the tuning for the English Beat's Save it For Later song to cover it. https://preview.tinyurl.com/yxjtbk8h

I've seen Thompson multiple times starting with a tour in the 80s promoting Across a Crowded Room. Great guitarist, songwriter and singer and hilarious talking between songs.

I just watched that Odd Couple performance, and was just blown away, as you said, by that man's ability. On an acoustic guitar, no less. You can tell that Randall and Klugman stopped being characters in a series, but became simply people who were in the midst of greatness, in awe of a spectacular performance.
I always get deeply moved - to the point of tears - when I see incredible ability like that.
Thanks for letting me know about that. I remember Roy Clark from Hee Haw growing up, but had no idea what I was watching at the time. Same with Glen Campbell.

I liked that version of Canon in D because it's a different take on the piece...sounds pretty good as rock.
I was in college when the Canon in D was practically everywhere.... in movie soundtracks, commercials, etc. My sister cracked me up when she gave me as a bday present an album by the Cambridge Buskers, and the liner notes said that the album was great because it didn't contain a version of the Canon in D.

Just a very few, very occasional, very rare cases.
Then the incidence started going up. In the 1920s it became a bit more common. It kept on ramping up through the 30s and 40s. Then, in the 1960s, it skyrocketed. By the early 20-oughts it was one of the most common cancers in human beings.
Isn't that just a little unusual? Going from essentially nonexistent to extremely common? Isn't that something worth ... noticing? Isn't it worth talking about?
The thing is, of course, the medical professionals already know exactly why it happened. They don't talk about it. Because if they did, they'd be yelled at for being prudes.
When you take highly active biological substances and apply them to mucus membranes that aren't designed for them, unexpected things happen. This is why oral sex and anal sex cause cancer. And help kill the people doing it.
"Hur-de-hur-hur, sounds like incel talk!" will be the only answer you'll get if you try discussing it.
But this is the truth.

Just wanted to say keep up the great job!
