Rock- ja metallimaailma reagoi kitaravirtuoosi Eddie Van Halenin poismenoon
Musiikkimaailmaa kohtasi jälleen valtaisa suru, kun rock-suuruus Van Halenin kitaristina tunnetun Eddie Van Halenin ilmoitettiin menehtyneen 65-vuotiaana kurkkusyöpään.
Van Halen tunnetaan innovatiivisena kitaravirtuoosina, jonka soitto inspiroi yhä tänä päivänä kitaristeja ympäri maailmaa. Miehen omaperäinen soittotyyli ja näyttävä signature-kitara ovat osa rockin kuvastoa, ja miestä voidaan pitää yhtenä vaikutusvaltaisimmista kitaristeista.

Rock- ja metallimaailma on siis ymmärrettävästi ottanut Van Halenin poismenon raskaasti. Some on täynnä eri muusikoiden osanottoja ja muisteluita, ja alhaalla niistä joitakin. Julkaisuja aiheesta ovat kirjoittaneet niin KISSin jäsenet, Black Sabbathin jäsenet, Metallican jäsenet kuin myös Van Haleninissa laulanut Sammy Hagarkin.

We are enormously saddened to hear about the untimely passing of Eddie Van Halen. We considered him an inspiration, an idol, and after spending a summer together on the road in '88, a friend. Sending love to Alex, @wolfvanhalen & everyone in the greater VH family.

Feeling deep sadness and overwhelming appreciation.
The appreciation and love for him is bigger though.
Let’s take a minute and try to imagine our world if he never showed up.
It’s unthinkable.
Thank you King Edward. You are deeply loved and will be missed. pic.twitter.com/H1mS4sYZIo— Steve Vai (@stevevai) October 6, 2020

Edward Van Halen was the single reason I ever wanted to play guitar to begin with. He’s the worlds greatest guitar hero, inspiring generations of players to pick up the instrument we love so dearly.
Thank you so much for the music and inspiration.
We love you forever Eddie. pic.twitter.com/6KzzEpBLBW— Mark Morton 🇺🇸 (@MarkDuaneMorton) October 6, 2020
Just found out @eddievanhalen has died. I remember driving home from a @TwistedSisterNY club gig with @AnimalTactics late one night and hearing "Eruption" on the radio for the first time. Our minds were blown…and guitar playing was never the same. RIP Eddie. You left your mark.

Oh NO! Speechless. A trailblazer and someone who always gave everything to his music. A good soul. I remember first seeing him playing at the Starwood in 1976 and he WAS Eddie Van Halen. So shocked and sad. My condolences to Wolfie and the family. https://t.co/ExAWzFAEYJ
