Lovely tribute from Marty Friedman:
I loved EVH. and was always completely in awe of him I didn`t know him very well personally, but he LOVED Jason Becker, was extremely protective of him, and because of that he was very friendly to me. The first time we met was when we both played at a benefit...
Something is controversial when it divides a group of people. Brexit, Trump, Coronavirus etc. Hagar and Roth fit that nicely. Personally I never liked Sammy Hagar's voice much and preferred the showmanship of DLR along with his love of mixing heavy rock and old rock 'n' roll or rhythm and blues...
Haha, I meant the quality of the recorded clip. I love the film Airheads. That and Wayne's World along with Bill and Ted pretty much summed up many of my youthful tastes and attitudes.
I was about to post that but didn't like the quality. Tyrone and others will like Hagar but others like me love Roth. Opinions are great, but it is often quoted that V Halen fans who liked the band before the bust up, didn't much like it after.
Was shocked to learn this. First Neil Peart and now Eddie Van Halen. What a bad year for heavy rock this has been, both snatched before their time. His innovation led to more technically accomplished guitarists such as Steve Vai and another hugely influential player, Joe Satriani, but it is...
