The car horn on the intro to Running w t d was mind blowing....and the fast chops by Edward on You really g m is just still today totally mesmerizing.

      Whatever you wanna call Eddie? Technician? Magician? there will never be another, you can thank our wonderful god above that we have these recordings, I can't imagine a world without him in it, I still can't believe he's gone, Eddie is the reason I picked up a six string, although I've progressed a lot since the early 90s, I would never claim to hold a candle to my inspiration, I can play a few things he did, but I'm still amazed at his playing to this day, I mean how the fuck? There are great guitarists out there right now that can't even attempt the stuff he pulled off.

I picked up the phone and called my friend and said did you just hear that? And he was like yeah I sure did and we were like we are so going to that concert, and we did...it was badass! I've said it before and I will say it again "If you got to grow up with the 50's through the 80's music YOU were blessed!" Rock on!

This album has had such an enormous impact on my life,and it still does to this day. It made me want to pick up the guitar and practice. This album changed the face of the guitar,and the face of all music for that matter. I will forever miss Eddie Van Halen. He is my guitar idol ,and always will be. God Bless him.

Its hard to Believe your not with us anymore. David you were so good, when I think of Van Helen its your voice to me is Van Halen. Grow your hair back get back to where you once was.

      No doubt that he created the best sound ever and not just studio. On stage as well. Built his own guitars. Wasn't quite happy with the way they worked at the time. Decided to mix a few pieces here and there on his own. Not a lot of people can ever say that. Look up D-tuna sometime.

    My Van Halen story: December-ish of 1978, my YOUNGER punkass brother bought a couple of albums and played this for me (the cooler, better-looking one). Honestly, I was blown away, but I was also PISSED that he was introducing some band to me that I'd never heard of. Anyhoooo, a month or two later, we learn that Van Halen was coming to our little college town in western Montana....so, it came to pass, Missoula's Adam's Field House was the venue, March 29, 1979, just a few days after VHII was released. I was the 8th person in the door in the days of "General Admission" and up against the rail for this show. At least, at the start. It was so loud, I had zero idea what they were playing. After 3-4 songs, I just tucked and ran to the back of the arena and enjoyed the show from there. What a great time!
