I knew he had been ill for some time, but this still stings.

I think he had bad cancer from smoking - had part of his tongue removed.

Yeah, his first diagnosis for throat cancer was back in 2000.
What a loss.

Really sad news. He was a big influence musically for lots of players and his rhythm and phrasing was as good or better than his lead work.

Bummer. I can’t help but think how many minds must’ve exploded when they first heard Vanhalen in 1978. The intro to “Ain’t talking about love” will always be one of my favourite guitar riffs.

The is absolutely a tough one for me. He is one of my idols for sure and I was lucky enough to be able to see 1984 at the dome.

There is a period of time, growing up, for most of us (all of us?) where music is something more, where it helps define who we are. For me (and probably for many of us), that was high school - particularly, grades 10 and 11.
