I really feel this one.
Van Halen music was part of some of the best times of my life.

Loved him with Diamond Dave. What a couple of pure rockers! Full blown egos and spectacular talent. Music today ain’t got nothing on VH!

12/1/07... Beaver Civil War victory at Autzen and VH at the Rose Garden with DLR back. I had tickets to both events but only made the concert. Good day all around.

Amazing talent. Innovative player who influenced a couple generations of players. RIP......although he’d rather “shred.”

EVH Guitars are awesome.
Van Halen opened the Black and Blue tour show in Portland right after their first album was released.
They played the typical opening 30-45 minutes and then 60 minutes of Blue Oyster Cult and 90 minutes of Black Sabbath.
The house lights didn't come up when Sabbath finished. Van Halen came out and closed the show with a 30 minute encore.
Great memories.

You instantly knew an EVH riff the second you hear it...
11-12 yr old me always drew the EVH guitar pattern on my trapper keeper. Sucks man.

I think it was 1991. Van Halen was playing at the Memorial Coliseum. Two women I knew from high school had driven up from southern Oregon for the concert. My roommate and I took them to the coliseum and dropped them off. The plan was to meet them at the bar at the Alexis an hour after the show. So my roommate and I were there and the girls arrived after the concert. The bar is refined and quiet. We have a drink and in walks the entire band. I was not a fan and didnt know Eddie Van Halen from Joe Blow. The bar became packed in 10 minutes or so. The outside doors were blocked by security. You could leave but you couldn't enter. No more quiet and refined but a huge party. What I specifically remember is a young woman in a short skirt outside. She couldn't get in. She backed up to the big windows and flipped her skirt up. The drummer of the band talked to the security guys and the woman was let in.

That was the first song I played when I heard the news. Van Halen I is one of the great debut albums in history. |

HUGE talent. But,alcoholic, drug user, heavy smoker. Results inevitable. Best line ever, was when the band realistically $hit canned the lead singer, he said the band was all on LSD: Lead Singer Disability
