Episode 27 of 'New Adventures in Spotify' is dedicated to Eddie Van Halen, who passed away Tuesday at age 65.
I could spill my emotions and write 10,000 words about how sad it is, what an amazing musician he was, and what he meant to me. He's a Guitar God. His music and influence is forever.
As someone who was a kid in the 80s, EVH was a musical hero of mine — from going to the shows, plastering the bedroom walls with posters, collecting the magazines, and playing a lot of air guitar.
I'll always love the band (Dave era and Sammy era), and I'll always love EVH.
The first 4 this week is for Eddie. Four of my favorite Van Halen tunes to get us started on another tasty episode of great music. Rest in peace, Ed.
Have a great weekend!!! 👍😀🎵
