Gonna have to do some Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen died this past week. I saw them perform three times. The first time was as a warmup act for Aerosmith. They stole the show. The second time they were the headliners. Both of these shows were in St. Louis with the original lineup. The third tie I saw them was in Atlanta with Sammy Hagar as their singer. I remember Bachman Turner Overweight was the warmup act.

Eddie always looked like he was having fun on stage. He really revolutionized hard rock. He didn’t invent tapping but he did it better than anyone else.

Here’s my favorite Van Halen song. Who woulda thunk using an electric drill with a guitar?
