Just heard the news about EVH’s passing, like, five minutes ago. As a livelong hard rock and heavy metal fangrrl I’m devastated. Yes, I knew he had cancer, and he was explaining it by always having his cancer causing metal plec in the mouth while playing guitar. Fuk do I know if that is true.


All I know is that he was one of the most recognizable, most advanced and stylistic metal players ever! And the most fun to listen to!


The band and all his compadres will soon be forgotten but the guitar legend EVH will live on!

I was happily stunned to learn that he couldn’t read music… learned it all by sight & repetition. He was a true legend!

Rest in peace, SIr. I was lucky enough to see the band twice. Once at their peak with David and once with that other guy…Hagar or something. Both shows were over the top but I can honestly say they were great either way. I just preferred the originals 🙂

I was never a VH fan. Their music and demeanour was just too “American” for a lack of better words. But as an instrumentalist Eddie was outstanding.
