RIP Eddie Van Halen
Died today at 65 from cancer. Got to see them in Tupelo on the Balance tour. Favorite band of all time. Just when you think 2020 can't suck anymore, it just gets worse.

Dang! This year has absolutely been the worst! RIP EVH!

FU 2020. First Neil Peart, now Eddie.
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

2020 is now officially the worst year ever.
80s Van Halen shows in the Coliseum in Jackson were spectacles that I will never forget.

My first concert at 15 was the 5150 tour in Memphis.

I met Eddie a couple of times at the NAMM Show, super nice guy. This year truly has been terrible.

In 82 one of my friends mom dropped four of us aged 13 and 14 off at the coliseum to see VH and picked us up afterwards. First time I smelled weed. And I smelled a lot of it.

Got to see the original Van Halen back in the day and Van Hagar later... boy this sucks!
ETA... EVH was diagnosed with tongue cancer many years back. Blamed it on the metal picks he used and kept smoking. Man, the power of addiction.

Dude, I was 15 from Grenada w/ my best bud Keith. My mom and dad dropped us off and went shopping. The girls walking around with the 80's hair wearing hardly anything was almost too much for me. I really wanted to move to Memphis at that point.

Cool memories, but LC Dawg is talking 1982 and Diver Down... that was my first time seeing VH too!

They both bring their own style to the band. Love 'em both, tbh.
I remember there was a show on VH1 years ago chronicling DLR and Sammy's co-tour they were doing. This is probably the mid to late 90's (back when VH1 gave a shit about music and not reality TV). There were so many scenes of Sammy bitching about DLR, lol. Their personalities were like oil and water. I rember there was a scene with David, where he said "Sammy throws a party; I AM the party", lol. That quote has always stuck with me.

Also, one of my favorite scenes, in one of my favorite movies, featuring EVH.

I loved them both. But in hindsight I really rooted for Van Hagar to succeed, just to spite DLR for leaving the band. In all honesty, given an ultimatum of which period that I would choose, I would take the original VH easily.
-
The band that Eddie and Alex formed with Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar was good but Van Halen is Dave and Dave only.
-
The saddest part about the whole Sammy/Dave debate is that it kept us from having more Van Halen. I really hate that I haven't had new Van Halen since 1995 (and no, VHIII doesn't count - that band had no joy).
-
I'm going with the original, never was a big fan of sammie, although he did and album with Neal Schon That was crazy good. I remember the day I found out David Lee Roth was leaving Van Halen. I was standing in line at a Citibank in Long Beach California when I saw it come across the news ticker in the bank. Ah the days before the internet!
