Not only was EVH one of the most skilled guitarists in rock history, he was also one of the most influential. The first VH album sounded like nothing that came before it, largely because of Eddie's insane riffing and soloing (some would say he's the man who popularised tapping). RIP.

Eddie may have been THE most influential rock guitarist in history, second only to Hendrix. If you think about how he was considered the best guitar player for so many years back in the 80s, and how his style literally changed the way guitar players played from then on, it's clear he was extremely important to the rock and metal scenes back then. Even if you didn't listen to Van Halen as a band, you probably still had some admiration for Eddie as a guitar player. It's crazy to think he's gone already. Just devastating to rock fans everywhere.

I’m a 15 year old zoomer who gas been into rock music for 2 years. Last Christmas, I received Van Halen I in vinyl as a present from my sister. I played it and my life was just changed ! Since them and most importantly during the lockdown ( in france about 5 months ago ) I have been singing his songs every day and Van Halen was def what I listened to the most during lockdown. This evening I update my Instagram feed one last time before I go to sleep and what do I see...”Van Halen dead, age 65, throat cancer” ( don’t smoke guys ). I bursted into tears 😭. Van Halen is one of my top 10 bands and he is one of the reasons why I’m starting to learn guitar but now I’m learning guitar for him ! ( and Gilmour ) I’m now listening to my favourite album by him, def Van Halen II Anyway RIP Edward Van the legend Halen 😢😔😩

Good to hear younger people get into them. They were huge, and really popularized the L.A. style. For so long the New York scene dominated American rock, Van Halen really changed that (though the Doors were also a huge band from the LA. scene before Van Halen, but that's a different style).

I bought Van Halen I in 1978, I was a senior in High School. It was on 8-track, played it continuously that summer as I drove around with friends in my '68 Chevelle. Nothing brings me back to my teenage self faster than a song from this album. So sad to hear of his passing. Was able to see them once in concert. Couldn't hear for a week, but it was well worth it.

Eddie Van Halen and his band are inextricably linked in my mind with my first visit to the USA in 1984, aged 15. It made an enormous impression on me. ‘Enormous’ being the operative word. Enormous meals. Enormous cars. Enormous hairstyles. Enormous record shops. And in one of those enormous record shops I bought ‘1984’ by Van Halen and ‘Born in the USA’ by Bruce Springsteen. MTV was a revelation (although I went on to hate it) and the video to ‘Jump’ was on constant repetition. So one evening my parents and I go to this rather swanky bar-restaurant (people wore suits, it was swanky as far as I was concerned). I was suitably attired in my Journey baseball shirt and Doc Martens, hair starting to edge down my back. Amazingly there was a jukebox in the place and to my delight I found that one of the songs on it was ‘Panama’. I got out my nickels and dimes and once I’d worked out which was which, dropped a few in the slot and proceeded to play it 12 times in a row. It was rocking my youthful world, let me tell you, perhaps less so the other diners who were giving me dirty looks from every corner of the room. At this point I seem to remember starting to headbang. Thanks for the memories Eddie.

Van Halen has always been the soundtrack of my life. At 11yrs old I went through my cousins album collection, spotted an album that had 4 cool guys on it put it in and it changed my life forever. That album Van Halen's debut album..... since then I have collected, basically toured lol and got my hands on anything Van Halen...... Didn't matter who was singing be it Dave,Sammy or Gary it was the music that inspired me....... the melodies, the shredding, the riffs, the harmonies and the solid rhythm section..... this band had it all heavy metal, hard rock, AOR, punk, country, soft rock listen to every album and you'll hear all those influences....... EVH you were an inspiration to not only me, but to millions who had the privilege to drop that needle and experience a pure guitar prodigy RIP EVH hope you and all the other great guitarists are rocking out in heaven

We've been losing a lot this year. Every day is getting harder and harder. I believe it's making us rethink our existence. I truly hope that the majority of us become better people.

Thiago Wallkicker I think a lot of people are slipping into depression, relapse and substance abuse. Hopefully there is light. Music can only help. Play some VH and think about carefree days cranking EVH in the 80’s...or whenever (but I choose the 80’s).

RIP EDDIE VAN HALEN. YOU CHANGED THE WAY THE GUITAR WAS PLAYED FOREVER. THERE WAS ONLY ONE LIKE YOU. ONE OF MY MUSIC AND GUITAR HEROES. REST EASY IN THE SPIRIT ROCKSTAR. I’M IN SHOCK

Changed it all at one go. Blackmore, Page etc were the kings but he was up there with them from the 1st album. Influenced so many and changed how rock gtrs sounded.

Blackmore and Page? EVH was not only a much more talented player, but he was much more of an innovator and inventors... Amps, guitars, tremolo systems..... he was a real technical genius.

I listened to the first Van Halen album, after I heard the news. Mind is still blown. 😮

The most sad thing about this is that he could have done so much more music.

We were visiting the home of lifelong friends and their older son (he was 16 and I was 14) said "You gotta listen to this....". He put the recently released VH debut on the turntable and the rest is history......
