[Johnbee]

4 in the same week!!  Mac Davis, Helen Reddy, Rocco Prestia and now EVH!!?

You're right.  Almost seems like 2016 all over again.

RIP Eddie

I wasn't ever a huge VH fan, but their early stuff really grew on me in recent years.
I've grown to really appreciate the iconic guitar players of our time, and he's certainly one.
His style and talent spawned so many more players and on and on and on which is God's gift of music.
He was a great ambassador and will be truly missed.

RIP EVH

What a guitar player he was , different style to the usual idols a the time , his piano / classical background must have helped in generating those guitar lines with  his tapping technique , truly amazing player to listen to , sadly missed

I honestly didn't think this would affect me that much. But it has. Eddie was one of the greatest. He always had a smile on his face, truly enjoying what he did. We need that in music.

An inspiring musician has left us.
