Bugger, another rock legend gone.

He's made his last 'Jump'...

1984...one of the best rock albums out there.

Gotta say: Van Halen could really play a mean Rock Guitar ;o(

Hard to believe I'm still somewhat alive at 72 ?

Most of the dead musos you guys talk about are usually lost on me but damn, Van Halen instantly transports me back to High School.  Sad to hear.

Not a fan but sad so young, hear Johnny Nash died at a riper old age, and Covid sadly took Toots Hibbert last month too young too.

"Jump" is for sure the most known song of the Band Van Halen, but Eddie was doing much more than that: mostly unknown but obvious if you think of it or listen, he also played the guitar solo in Michael Jacksons "Beat it"

R.I.P., your legend lives on.

Probably distanced himself from that one later.

Jerry Lee Lewis has just turned 85! All that clean living and early nights certainly pays off..

 

[Legs]

Never was in to Van Halen but it's sad to see such a talent taken far too soon.

Probably distanced himself from that one later.

  No he didn't Shaun, when they recorded that song it took Eddie 5 minutes to do it, he took no money for it either as he just said he was just noodling on the guitar,  Rock Legend

 

[LJ-2]

Not quite what I meant Lee, but good for him,no fee in this day and age.
