Very few guitarists ever make a shift in music forever but Eddie was absolutely one of the biggest that could have ever been. RIP

As a cancer survivor i feel heartbroken for the sad news...R.I.P Mr. Edward Van Halen.
This makes me sick to my stomach. He was my first guitar hero and has never lost my admiration. He was the Mozart of our time and his contributions to music and the industry in general will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace EVH

Damn my cd player is broke in my car. Gotta get it fixed. Loved Van Halen. My sister got me into the music back in the 80s when we were teens growing up. A little part of me died today too. Great music & guitar playing will live on FOREVER. Condolences & Prayers to the family especially Wolfie. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Mr. Edward Van Halen will always be my favorite guitar player. Van Halen has been my favorite band for more than 40 years. I was very fortunate to have lived such an amazing era. My childhood/teenager/adult hero past away just a few hours ago. My condolences to his immediate family, and to the world who worshipped him. I can close my eyes and transport to my bedroom as a kid, where my walls were filled with VH posters from Circus and Hit Parader. That young and genius guitar player back then, will entertain heaven today. So angels, put your harps down tonight and enjoy the show. R.I.P. my hero, Eddie Van Halen.
Eddie and Dave and Alex And Mikey were VH. RIP VH...XOXO
Eddie was the one that encouraged me to play guitar! Thank you so much Eddie for your sick guitar solos and licks! Rest in peace, man!
Have been watching a lot of news reports today...this one finally broke me! “I thank you for a near lifetime of entertainment. Rock on with the gods, EVH, rock on”
😭 Another Legend of Rock leaves us a little more hollow today - 10/06/2020. Could always recognize his amazing music and that guitar talent!
Eddie Van Halen....an ICON and a LEGEND. 🎸 🎶
Eddie Van Halen rest in peace. He was amazing to his fans and cared so much about them.
Rock ‘n’ Roll is truly dead! Put on your Van Halen music 🎸🥁 🎶 and turn it up freaking LOUD 🔊!!! 🤟🏻

So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me just the memory of your face - Collins RIP Eddie you will be missed but NEVER forgotten...
EVH will ALWAYS be in my heart.
I am so done right now. 😢😢😢😢
Every time I read this title on a video, I say “NO” uncontrollably like I am seeing it for the first time. Stop recommending this KZread. I need to heal 💔
RIP EDDIE.Gone but not forgotten. ROCK ON EDDIE.
This really hurts, 2020 has been such a bad 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!
Fantasy: staying overnight at a girlfriend’s house Reality: in Dallas with a boyfriend and his buddies for the Van Halen 1984 tour. Thanks for the memories! This era of music will never be surpassed. RIP
Part of my youth died 💔 tonight! Much respect to Eddie 🎸, Alex 🥁, David 🎤, Michael 🎸, Sammy 🎤 , and fellow VH Fans for carrying the torch 🔥 for all those awesome years & lighting it up LOUD 🔊!!! 🤟🏻
Another legend gone condolences to Mr. Van Halen's family, friends and fans.🕊
His legendary status as a guitarist virtuoso will live on forever.. Rock in Peace \/
Eddie Will Truly Be Missed And Prays Goes Out To The Family. Much Love And Stay Safe 😇👼❤❤❤😘👍👊👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯🔥🔥🔥
I am truly heartbroken. Wolfgang.......God has him now. He has touched so many lives. Including mine. I turn 65 this month. And I listen to his guitar almost every day. Prayers for you and his wife and family. 🙏🙏💔
Today is the day the music died in 2020...our world is lesser with Eddie in it.
He was truly an "elite of the elite" guitarists. May God bless.
I watch a Van Halen session on KZread at least 2 times a week. RIP Ed.
I bet Jimmy's Hendrix getting the guitar lesson he never dreamed of right now

@Scott Tracy i don't recall SRV influencing an entire generation of rock guitarists, and I can't even think of a song in which he breaks out of the blues box. He couldn't swing like Ed, he couldn't innovate like Ed, he couldn't solo like Ed.
EVH, your guitar playing made being a teen in the 80's awesome! Thank you for that. RIP.
remember the feeling of hearing that first album on vinyl way back in jr high? - RIP EVH
His spirit lives on through music.
Eddie Van Halen was my Guitar Hero!! Thank you Sir for helping this guy realize my dreams!! Rest In Peace Sir!!
I'm so sad to hear this 😥
R.I.P EDDIE VAN HALEN He was the heart & soul of Van Halen. And his riffs will live on forever.💗
When one say the words, "virtuoso", "once in a generation", "legendary". And and another word that has been used a lot to describe many people, "brilliant". But in this case with this man he was truly "brilliant".
Wow I'm in shock my deepest condolences to his family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I've seen VH 5 times in my life, and EV was always ELECTRIC. Damn, damn, DAMN! This hurts.
No no no, not the Van Man! Damn Damn Damn!
RIP May U Play WITH UR ANGELS WINGS... U WILL BE MISSED
A great person and gifted musician. He will never be forgotten.

That's not disrespectful. It was an endearing message. But I get it. Ppl are idiots & can't wait to post something negative or rip someone apart. Take care. I hope you & your family are ok & keeping healthy.🎃
"rest in peace" is no longer a congruent response to the electric synergies that carry him on.
Im very glad that I was able to see them perform many times. He was just amazing to watch.
Was fortunate enough to see him live during the diver down tour.When the band left eddie alone on the stage for his solo was one of the most epic moments I have ever witnessed.
RIP. Seems like you always had a smile to go with those sick licks brother. You are already missed.
He lived the life of 10 Kings put together... I will celebrate that... 🇺🇲
One of a kind person and artist.
EDDIE VAN HALEN..the legend of guitar on the world..R.I.P

As I read all the good gestures of Eddie's lost. One thing comes to mind. We as Americans, left middle and right.. All have more in common then we act.. Because we.. You,you and even you.. Are all Americans that loved a good time.. We have to get it together.. Life is too short to ruin it..
Goodbye Eddie and thank you for all your great melodies 👏👏👏👏
EDDIE. I WAS LUCKY TO SEE YOU AT THE COW PALACE IN 1984 AT AGE 13 YRS OLD. THANK YOU EDDIE. THE WORLD WILL MISS YOU. ALL OF MY LOVE TO YOUR FAMILY. THE SUN SHINES LESS BRIGHTER TODAY. CAN'T STOP CRYING. YOUR MUSIC MEANT EVERYTHING TO ME. SORRY FOR TEXTING IN ALL CAPS. PEACE N LOVE TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WHEN LIGHTNING AND THUNDER STRIKES I'LL KNOW IT'S YOU JAMIN ON YOUR GUTAR. RIP MY KING OF KINGS. LOVE ALWAY AMY.
He was such a brilliant musician. Eddie Van Halen will be deeply missed.
R.I.P Eddy and all good wishes for your JUMP into a better world
My guitar hero, RIP. ㅠ ㅠ
I wasn't a "VAN HALEN" follower, that said,we lost a one in a lifetime performer.. My sympathy to his family and loved ones.. R.I.P MR EDWARD VAN HALEN 🎸🎸🎸 (Tough act to follow)
Reality truly sets in as you see your idols as a teenager and beyond pass away. Time goes by quickly.
RIP EVH...king of guitar ...profesor guitar...
Rest In Peace king Edward! There aren’t enough words to describe what mark you have left in this world. My thoughts and prayers for all your family and loved ones, and your fans all around the world. Vaya con Dios Eddie! 😪
Damn... I'll never forget the first time I heard Eruption.
Rest in peace ❣️ Eddie.
10/07/2020 I was never really into that type of music, but did enjoy "Jump" & other songs. But I also thought that he musta been a great Dad for his son to state what he did. Way to go, Eddie.👊 My condolences to his son, his former wife: Valerie B. & his current wife & family.💐 RIP MR. EVH🎸
RIP friend.
Sad beyond words......😔
RIP Eddie, King of the Strings......Thoughts and prayers for the family 🙏
