[@timrussell1559]

I once met Eddie and the whole band back in 1986. I had won a radio contest for backstage passes when they had come to my city back then. I still have several pics of this. They were all very nice and Eddie even let me strap on the famous Frankenstrat and showed me how to play a few chords to the song panama. I walked away with a ton of t-shirts, caps, jackets, autographs and great memories that will stick with me forever. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience!

[@kimmyhawk5612]

Was DLR still with them when you met them?

[@timrussell1559]

@@kimmyhawk5612 No, this was the very first tour with sammy hagar. DLR had not been gone long. They came to my city early in their 5150 tour, it was may of 86. Sammy signed one of his headbands and gave it to me

They reminded us that rock was supposed to be fun and not to take itself too seriously. A welcomed break from years before and after the 80’s.

[@davemullins6999]

That's what I miss about the 70's and 80's music so much --- the music was about partying, hanging with friends, enjoying your YOUTH

[@nongthip]

Michael Anthony's backing vocals truly make the Van Halen sound on this track.

[@Schubbbbbb]

I agree! Michael Anthony contributes excellent vocals and I feel like he is underrated, especially when Dave and Eddie are so good at grabbing attention! :(

[@Schubbbbbb]

@Gene Prevento II I tend to focus on band members that are less flamboyant, like bassists. For example, John Deacon contributed to Queen both by performing and his sound engineering designs that helped the bass and the guitar to sound better. Band members like John and Michael deserve way more attention :D

[@slyjokerg]

MA's backing vocals are vital to the VH catalog. He was/is priceless.

[@nongthip]

Just to add, when I listen to original Van Halen turned up *loud* at home or in the car and pretend to be an awesome vocalist, I find I'm mostly doing Michael Anthony, not DLR, except of course the high-pitched screams. Long live Van Halen! RIP Eddie! ♥

Sad news today that the world has lost one of the best guitarist ever. Seriously, 2020 has been such a tough year. I never got to meet Eddie , but I saw VH in concert 11 different times over the years. Back in the days of General admission tickets, we would show up early and get front row. At the end of the Fair warning tour Eddie reached over and handed me a guitar pick. I have it in our safe deposit box along with all my concert ticket stubs. Rest In Peace Edward Van Halen, you were one of a kind!

Eddie, a HUGE thank you for all you've provided, but aside from the music you've made, but also taught us a very valuable lesson. I've heard from tons of people the one thing he was: kind. Always gave you the time of day to talk, always smiling, always knew how to treat people. I think we can all learn from this.

Eddie's gum catch is seriously underrated.

[@marvinmegee7495]

I am quite proud of the fact that i got to see Van Halen when they wore faded t-shirts and blown out blue jeans.

[@MrKastaway66]

Back when rock and roll was pure fun. Not a hint of angst.

[@chrisz31974]

MrKastaway66 damn straight

[@andrewbaker5532]

Spot on!

[@billbelzek6748]

I think music reflected the culture back then --- people were happier and more optimistic

[@mabewa]

I dunno... Fair Warning is a pretty dark album!

[@CelestialWoodway]

Van Halen has some angsty songs actually. Go back and listen to all of the early albums.

[@edsxing1965]

RIP EVH. Heaven is rock n tonight. Can you imagine Eddie, Randy Rhoads , Jimmy Hendrix, Prince, James Brown, David Bowie, and all those other Rock n Blues legends. 🤩 WOW.

Don't leave out Stevie Ray Vaughn and Keith Moon

Don't forget Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin

Stevie Ray vaugh is in that group too

This band was iconic their music got you up on your feet dancing all night. Rock on Eddie you were the best and are missed

Another one of a kind Rock legend gone, just like with Randy Rhoads.

Except Eddie was 65 and Randy Rhoads died at 25.

[@citadel9611]

I've seen Van Halen about six or seven times and Eddie always made it look easy. He would spend much of his time on stage smiling to all of us in the audience. Dance the Night Away was always their last song, which EVERYONE sung to. Magic times:)

[@tjhx5413]

this is what a live band sounds like .. I saw them 3 times!! An 3x as loud .. Best live band ever!! long live the king!!

[@barrypeters3578]

Sammy was great in his own right but Dave's showmanship in my opinion really helped put the band on the map.

[@davemullins6999]

I honestly don't believe Van Halen ever woulda became a huge band without David Lee's showmanship and vision

[@cheesesteak22]

Legendary combo for sure. Ironic that they considered the singer of the band Montrose before settling with DLR. That singer? one Sammy Hagar. they made the right choice 🤘😎

[@manuelper]

I would add, though not as good a singer as Sammy, David's tone and delivery gave the music (combined with EVH's spectacular sound) an edge that Van Hagar could never replicate.

You can never say enough about Eddie’s ground-breaking guitar work, however...the VH SOUND comes from Michael’s backing vocals and Alex’s drum tones.

That perfect chunky, gritty, swampy foundation to be riffin over

Indeed. They were the true successor to Led Zeppelin. John Paul Jones, Geezer Butler and Michal Anthony contributed so much.
