What set Eddie Van Halen apart from the shredders who followed – Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani and the like – was that he didn’t just play; he could write songs. Huge, glorious, memorable songs. Though he always saw himself as a hard rock player, he also knew how to write pop, and so Van Halen were never just a band for the guitar nerds. Though Van Halen albums always had some showcase for Eddie’s playing – Spanish Fly, Tora! Tora!, the opening of Mean Street, Cathedral – they were usually brief, and his soloing within songs was surprisingly to the point (across the first six VH albums, the ones with David Lee Roth, only three songs last longer than five minutes; this was not a self-indulgent band). His skills were just as often displayed in little flourishes – a guitar equivalent of a drum fill – fitted into the spaces in riffs, or between Roth’s lines. If you can make an impact in a few seconds, why bother wasting more time?

Décédé ce 6 octobre à 65 ans, Eddie Van Halen était plus qu’une simple figure des années 80. Bien que le groupe n’ait plus fait de coups d’éclats internationaux depuis le milieu des années 90, la contribution d’Eddie Van Halen et de son groupe nécessite d’être revue avec un regard bienveillant.
Dans les commentaires de Gonzaï une autre disparition :
