RIP Van Halen

Post by 12bar »

Eddie Van Halen died Tuesday after a long battle with cancer. He was 65. :tears:
No doubt that he was a big influence on rock guitar in the 80s. He did not invent tapping, but made it popular without just being another shredder.

He always cited Clapton as his biggest influence. R.I.P.
