    I was fortunate enough to see him, and the band of course, at a 500 seat bar in Virginia Beach in 1978. Helluva show.

    I graduated Marine bootcamp in summer of 78. MCRD San Diego. VH's debut album had been out 5 months already. I was held over for a month there before my school slot opened up. It was crazy. Van Halen cranked up pretty much all over the base personnel living quarters. All over........every day I was there...Eddie struck a chord with all of us....no one could play the neck of a guitar like him.....no one....hell yeah!

    Really shocked to hear of Eddies passing. I have been a huge fan my whole life — probably my favorite Rock and Roller. We lose a lot of celebrities each year but this one is sadder than most.

    RIP Eddie...

    So sad to hear. Eddie is one of the greatest musicians to ever pick up a guitar.

    They're jamming in Heaven tonight.

    One of my first concerts ever.... Van Halen at the San Diego Sports Arena.... back in the day. Eddie did a 15 min version of Eruption.... the place went insane. RIP Eddie... you will be missed by us mortals.

    One of my heroes. Humble beginnings, worked his tail off, amazingly gifted by God. Spent a lotta hours trying to cop his stuff. Sad but real grateful. Thank you for posting about it...

    Me too. I idolized him. The blue guitar is his sig model. This room is now my sons room. His name is Halen.
