Eddie meant so much to me growing up as a young aspiring guitarist. He was a such a wizard on the guitar. Like he was the “Merlin” of the six string. And while he was always lauded for his masterful solo’s and basically taking the “Hammeron” to levels unheard of in 1978 with Eruption, his sound is what sucked me in. That “Brown” sound and his intricate rhythm work was truly the gift. Oodles and oodles of unmistakable classic riffs that will live on in infamy.

I lost one of my heros yesterday.

May he rest in peace and hook up with Neil and jam in the heavens.

You were the best Eddie and you will be missed.

There is something seriously wrong with David Lee Roth also when they did that reunion tour and live album he absolutely sucked just like he does in this video. He's not a hard rocker anymore he's a lounge lizard washed up has been.

In my opinion, I like the DLR years better than the Sammy years.

Everyone knew that DLR studio voice didn't sound at all like DLR live concert voice. DLR was a showman, that is what sold the live performances along with the Van Halen's and Michael Anthony's voice and bass playing.

DLR wrote lyrics about Running with the Devil, Atomic Punk, Hot For Teacher, etc.... while Sammy wrote lyrics about Love Comes Walking In and Dreams.

No doubt, Sammy has a much better voice and vocal range.

Just my fan opinion that the Roth era had more punch to it.

I'm with you....it wasn't the same with Sammy. The DLR era - THAT'S Van Halen.
