Eddie Van Halen, Hall of Fame Guitarist Who Revolutionized Instrument, Dead at 65
Eddie was absolutely the most popular guitarist of my generation, frequently winning “greatest guitarist” honors.
I guess I saw Van Halen play maybe 4 or 5 times. I went through a few months of personally boycotting Van Halen after Eddie married Valerie Bertinelli. I had a massive crush on her!

So sad to hear of his passing. He was the juice of my youth. I had all his albums rockin’ down the highway to his music during my fun party years. He was one of the greatest. So much fun air-guitaring along with him. We are so lucky to have had him with us.
Cim says
P.S. Valerie was MY GIRLFRIEND!!!! LOL One Day At A Time! I loved her and he married her.

” I had a massive crush on her!”
I believe that is past tense. Present tense for me, still, always.
RIP, Eddie. “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge” 316

Sad to see him pass.. I didn’t realize he had several patents on guitar upgrades.
All guys in her age group thought she was so cute.Yelp I was snake bit also.
Cim Walls says
I figured if I couldn’t marry her at least my favorite musician did.
