Eddie Van Halen
Just read the most interesting article about the legendary Eddie Van Halen and wanted to share some highlights. 🎸
Born in the Netherlands in 1955, Eddie and his family moved to California when he was just 7 years old. From childhood, he was obsessed with music and taught himself innovative two-handed tapping guitar techniques as a teen in the 1970s.
Eddie co-founded Van Halen with his brother Alex in the early 70s, starting out playing Sunset Strip clubs. Van Halen got their big break in 1977 after Gene Simmons saw them perform and got them a record deal.
Eddie's groundbreaking guitar playing on their debut album in 1978 made him an instant rock god. His use of tapping, dive bombs and lightning solos influenced so many future guitarists. How iconic were his custom "Frankenstrat" guitars and striped guitar designs! 🎸⚡️
Over the next few decades, Eddie battled alcoholism and health issues but continued to innovate on the guitar. After going to rehab in the 90s, he reunited with David Lee Roth in 2007 for an epic Van Halen reunion tour.
Sadly, Eddie passed away from throat cancer in 2020 at only 65 years old. He left behind an unparalleled musical legacy and shaped the sound of rock guitar forever. What an absolute legend! 🎸 Who else was inspired by the incredible Eddie Van Halen? 🎸⚡️
