Sad news and another great one gone but still lives on through his music. Saw them a few times also loved the VanHagar stuff too but man, that first album was unbelievable when it hit back in '78. RIP .

Was privileged to hang out with Eddie and Valerie at a John Waite/Patty Smyth/Scandal concert in Ca in November 7th, 1984
Won tickets on KMET (The mighty MET) and took my future wife Lynn as well. The concert was at the Hollywood Palladium. At first I didn't even know who he was...as he was wearing a Manny, Moe and Jack Pep Boys T-shirt. Also, his hair was really short-it was a buzz cut! I recognized Valerie right away-as she was on One Day at at Time. John Waite called Eddie up on stage to jam with him...it was cool! EDIT: here's some info : http://www.vhtrading.com/topic/scand...ddie-van-halen

Some old early Van Halen pics
First from Derek S. Second one from the Van Halen archives...kinda cool By the way, I asked Eddie why his hair was so short (after he got done up on stage and before he left with Valerie) he said it was easier to walk around LA-without being noticed immediately. Worked on me!! Finally, he seemed really shy to me-which is the opposite of what his onstage persona was...? Eddie-Thanks for all of the great music!

I think the 1984 was at Cobo.
My first display house I worked at, I found red and white plexi in the rack, I learned how to weld it that day, I made diver down Lic plates for all my buddy’s, lol. When I did the LA auto show, one year a Bud took me to Whiskey Go Go, there’s a plaque in the lobby area for Van Halen, they were like the house band and was discovered there I believe by Gene Simmons.
