Jam on, Eddie Van Halen

"Guitar rock god Eddie Van Halen dies of cancer at 65", by Mark Kennedy

I loved the album Van Halen so much when it came out. It was a perfectly packaged mood for being a 16-year-old, cooped up and fucking furious and aching to make trouble (even though I didn't have the slightest idea how).

"Mike McCready of Pearl Jam told Rolling Stone magazine that listening to Van Halen’s “Eruption” was like hearing Mozart for the first time."

Maybe...if listening to Mozart for the first time gave you a raging hardon.

So sad. My inner 12-year-old metalhead is just gutted.
