A great guitarist, a great band. RIP.

 

And I'll add Johnny Nash - never forgotten

 

One thing for sure, even though we like some of Van Halen's tunes, there are those that definitely wouldn't. IOW, too much of a Heavy Metal, Hard Rock sound. For us, when David Lee Roth left as Lead Singer, that was the end of Van Halen.

Eddie plainly smoked way to much! He first had tongue cancer and the throat cancer. Just like Patrick Swayze, Eddie couldn't/wouldn't stop the cigarettes.
