Completely in shock and heartbroken. I can't even express how I'm feeling right now.

RIP Eddie ... :(

Thanks to all of you on this subforum. I missed the greatness of Ed when it happened but was really revived thanks to you guys chasing his tone. Lots of great reading and listening here back in the day.

The end of an era.

My facebook post today:
Just like those before me who mourned the lose of Elvis or John Lennon, this one hits home and hurts! While I was into music from as early an age as I can remember, it was after first hearing Eddie Van Halen that made me realize I wanted to play the guitar and explore the music inside me! Eddie revolutionized what could be done with the instrument...and I am not only talking about his outstanding solo's, but his immense songwriting and rhythm playing skills!
He also set the benchmark on how a guitar should SOUND be BUILT!!!! He inspired and changed the guitar for MILLIONS of people! The world lost an icon today....a REAL TRUE ICON!!! This one is gonna hurt for a long time to come.
Currently in tonal HEAVEN with my Bray 4550 Deluxe!
