Remembering Eddie Van Halen, the Greatest Guitarist of our Generation

We’re almost at a loss for words. We lost the greatest guitarist of our generation today as Eddie Van Halen passed away from cancer. Eddie’s death was announced today on Twitter by his son Wolfgang Van Halen:

We have been fans of Van Halen since the very beginning and have followed them through the Roth years, the Hagar years, and back to the Roth years. Through it all, the one constant was the Van Halen brothers, Eddie and Alex. We are going to miss you Eddie more than you’ll ever know.

Here’s a look at some of our all time favorite Van Halen videos. To kick off this video tribute, here’s Eddie Van Halen’s iconic Eruption, which we consider one of the greatest guitar performances in history. RIP brother! We’ll never forget you…
