A terrible loss, condolences to the Van Halen families. Eddie Van Halen for years to come you gave the world a lesson on how to play guitar your way, and how a rock band becomes the Mighty Van Halen. A beautiful soul, just a great man.

eek. Propping him up? I hate seeing this, why? We all get the dirt blanket and cement pillow one day and you never know when the day arrives. Like brother “King”, then it’s to late for forgiveness.
