Gutted. What a Legend.

May he rest in peace and show those harpists up there how it should be done!

[coppernorks]

Sad news indeed.

[Eric Mc]

No.

Way too young.

[DaveGrohl]

Holy st. Quite a shock, the man's a legend. Sad news.

I heard Dave Lee Roth a while ago say he used to love it in the early days when they'd play battle of the band contests. The other bands' guitarists would look down their noses at Eddie with his home made guitar, right up until they took the stage. Then Dave would look at those same guitartists' jaws dropping when they heard him play.

Man, I've been play a lot of VH on the guitar in the last couple of weeks, and was listening to them in the car this morning. RIP.

[Mining Subsidence Man]

He invented 2 hand tapping IIRC.

Nothing like a bit of rockwhank.

[el romeral]

That was a shock and very sad. The announcement from his son was heartbreaking.

[poo at Paul's]

Sad news, a proper Dude to millions grown up.

[no eye deer]

Very sad to hear this.

Seems like only yesterday we were all open mouthed trying to work out how 'Eruption' was even possible.

Thanks for all the magic Eddie!

[scrubchub]

Genuine, bona fide legend. RIP.

Time to listen to some music.
