Gutted, my hero as a kid. Gonna go plug my 67 LP into the tweed, put new batteries in the Phase 90 and crank it to 12. I can't play his stuff but the attitude is ......rock.!

Very few musicians actually change rock music forever - Eddie did... The sounds and guitar tones he created, rebooted rock music from Van Halen's first single "You Really Got Me" - has there ever been a better cover version of a song? Kiss' Gene Simmons discovered Van Halen and produced their demo to score their first record contract. Eddie went on to play the solo on Michael Jackson's "Beat It" (in two takes) and was uncredited on Nicolette Larsen's debut album (much to David Lee Roth's annoyance). Eddie had been suffering from throat cancer for ten years.

I think he did all the thriller album while VH was in hiatus between Panama and 5150?
Re: Vale Eddie Van Halen - Wet Willie - 10-06-2020
No, he just did the solo in Beat it and was unpaid for it. The rest of Thriller was basically Toto on backing tracks. It's all in my books www.fortherecordbook.com.au

Im a big Gary Moore fan and considered him the best guitarist I have seen but EddieV was
probably the most influential with his different inventive techniques.
RIP..

Now Toto WAS a helluva band.

Toto was used on so many top level recordings. It's the biggest kept secret of the music industry...!!

Certainly is. A catalogue that'd murder many others
