R.I.P Eddie Van Halen

 My introduction to Van Halen was this song "Jump" which came put when I was in seventh grade...

In high school our wrestling team would come out to "Running with the Devil"

When Sammy Hagar joined it was a big deal..."Best of Both Worlds"

Then there was the Van Halen that didn't go far..."Without You"

He was the guitar hero of my generation..

Here he is with Michael Jackson...

He was a legend on the guitar and will be missed!

"Ain't Talkin' Abut Love"

What is your favorite Van Halen sing? Any special memories? Favorite songs? Please feel free to share.

A to Z Challenge: V is for Van Halen

I can't believe I haven't used Van Halen for an A to Z Challenge. Well I will today.

"Jump"was the Van Halen song that really introduced me to the band. A few years later "Runnin' with the Devil" was a song we used to come out to during my wrestling years.

Now I live near these fly boys "Dreams"

"Everybody Wants Some"

"Right Now"

I mixed in some Sammy Hagar era tunes as well. What are your favorite Van Halen tunes?

A to Z Challenge: Van Halen

Since today is V day on the challenge I thought I would celebrate the music of Van Halen.

The first song to get me on the Van Halen bandwagon was "Jump"

This one has special meaning from my high school days..

Then there was the Sammy Hagar years with Van Halen...

Then was the other singer..

Gary Cherone isn't a bad singer. He just wasn't David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar. It just wasn't a good fit.

The band eventually went full circle back to Roth..

Now fans wait for what is next with Van Halen..
