Oh my god… devastating?????? Musician Eddie Van Halen has died. He was 65. The iconic guitarist and founder of his eponymous rock band lost his battle with throat cancer. Van Halen’s son Wolf shared a touching memorial to his “the best father I could ever ask for.” . His wife Janie was by his side as the cancer spread throughout his body. He passed away in Santa Monica on Tuesday, according to @tmz_tv

I had this picture on my wall as a teenager. My mind is seriously blown right now. I cried. He is the GOAT. Guitarists still haven’t caught up to what he’s accomplished on those first five records. He was one in a billion. I was just playing “Eruption“ two days ago at the request of a fan, thinking, goddamn this song is still so fucking hard to play over 40 years later. And that fucking guitar tone… Seriously… That fucking guitar tone even in this day and age is complete savagery. . This dude was a ROCK STAR. Larger than life personality, so much style, so much class. They broke the mold with Eddie Van Halen. Rest in peace legend??
