(Started October 6th, 2020) Goodbye Eddie Van Halen

 Hello,

Goodbye Eddie Van Halen, thanks for 65 years of memories!! I know you will see a lot of similar blogs to this one. No doubt that Eddie Van Halen was one of the greatest guitarists of all-time and he did a lot of good work with Van Halen. However since many other people will be highlighting his work with Van Halen I'm going to focus on his music outside of Van Halen. But of course I'll include a few classic Van Halen songs to this blog.

R.I.P. Legend. I have to admit this one hurts.

1) Eddie Van Halen's solo "Eruption":
