Eddie Van Halen died today. One of the Worlds greatest rock guitarists. R.I.P.

He first came to my attention watching the movie "Twister", during the credits, at the end of the movie a track of amazing music suddenly pounced out at the listener.
I was transfixed, normally I'd leave the cinema when the credits started, not this time.
That piece of music was "Respect the wind" by Alex and Eddie Van Halen.
We'e lost such an influential guitarist.

Youtube link works at time of posting, but youtube work on their own ideas and that link could change at any time.
 
Two in a day . As you say the accomplished Eddie Van Halen passed away Tony but also Reggae Pioneer Johnny Nash who sadly passed away aged 80 . I was watching a documentary about Bob Marley and he and Johnny Nash surprised pupils at Peckham Manor School by playing in their Hall in 1972. Bob was seeking a big break but Johnny already had hits and hit Number 1 that year with I can See Clearly Now. A very sad loss.
