Eddie Van Halen has lost his fight with throat cancer. He fought and defeated tongue cancer from 2000-2002. In this fight he had about a third of his tongue removed.  Doctors declared him cancer free. In 2019 we found out Eddie had been fighting throat cancer. This cancer took Eddie Van Halen on October 6, 2020, he was 65. Rest In Peace Eddie.

justdave's notes:
A nice recording of Van Hagar firing on all 4 cylinders. There is a great scene in the movie Airheads. The lead characters tried to figure out if a guy was a rock manager or cop. They asked him a few questions. One question they asked him was what side he was on in the great Van Hagar vs. David Lee Roth band debate. He answered that both had good songs. They immediately identified him as a cop telling him "wrong it's David Lee Roth." I did appreciate the Van Hagar stuff, but favored the first two Roth solo albums he made with Steve Vai. I mean after having Eddie Van Halen as lead guitarist, you had to go with Steve Vai, right? Anyway, Eddie Van Halen's guitar God status goes unquestioned - PERIOD! Granted he was playing more keyboards in the 80's, but his guitar parts are still pure Eddie. Also, you get Sammy Hagar playing lead on his solo tracks (included in the set) with Eddie joining in. That's a nice twin guitar attack!
