What the Riff Remembers Eddie Van Halen

Join What the Riff as we take a moment to reflect on the music and impact that Eddie Van Halen had on our lives as teenagers in the late 70s and early 80s. Eddie lost his long battle with cancer on October 6, 2020. He will be missed, but his mastery of the guitar will undoubtedly continue to inspire artists through eternity. We only feature 4 tracks in this bonus episode: “Eruption” from Van Halen 1, “Source of Infection” from OU812, “Girl Gone Bad” from 1984, and “And the Cradle Will Rock” from Women & Children First. Let us know how this affects you in a comment or review — or share your thoughts on our Facebook page. Eddie, we miss you. Rest in Peace, and may God bless your family. (Please check out Episode 17 - Fair Warning, and Episode 86 - Van Halen 2 for more awesome Van Halen tracks).
