Last year we reported ... Eddie was flying between the US and Germany for 5 years to get radiation treatment. Though he was a heavy smoker for years, he believes he developed throat cancer from a metal guitar pick he used to frequently hold in his mouth more than 20 years ago.

RIP

Eruption was one of the (if not, the) benchmark for shredders for so many years (and still is, I guess)

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

Damn. Can’t say I was ever a big VH fan, but the dude was a rare talent on the guitar

I saw Van Halen with Boston and Black Sabbath and opening act some guy named Sammy Hagar
Van Halen “parachutes “ into the parking lot and runs on stage.

 

[BigRedMoe]

And another piece of my youth is gone. And so it goes.

 

[PackJason]

I don't care if it makes me a pussy, I've had to choke back tears about 3 times since learning of his death.
