65?

Jeez. Seems like I grew up listening to Van Halen. And I’m only 62.

Prayers and thoughts.

Saw VH in 1980 at the Rapid City Civic Center.

RIP Eddie. You took rock guitar to another level.

She’s remarried and has a cooking show. She’s actually quite good and very engaging on the show.

“...is Valerie available?
Yeah, all 200 pounds of her.”

No photos below the neck anymore.

Hey, Steven Seagal is always available!

(Once married to two women, with a pregnant girlfriend at the same time, also no photos below the neck)

Yes she did. He really did mean a lot to so many of us...hearing him for the first time was like hearing an alien play guitar.

Holy cow. EVH was one of a handful of true originals and a complete monster.

That actually stunned me.

Given his health history and that part of his tongue was removed around 2002 in a treatment for cancer, not at all.

Lauren Tews should have gone into the pharmaceutical industry.

VH music is not my cup of tea, but what a guitarist. Incredible.
