# Guitar Virtuoso Eddie Van Halen Dies At 65 šŸŽ¤šŸŽøšŸŒ‡ [![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1672193835691/4aIoHpPEo.png align="left")](https://www.eddievanhalenstore.com/) [**ā€œRunning With The Devilā€ ā€“ Van Halen**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5txwFv-zYM) *In Animam Viventem Ieiunium Vitae*Ā  šŸ‘æĀ  *Living The Fast Life* Iā€™m a Rocker too and I actually did a rendition of ā€˜Running With The Devilā€™ and although Iā€™ve enjoyed listening to a few of their songs, Van Halen was not one of my favorite hard rock bands. And there were other guitarists I was paying more attention to in The Heavy Metal World at the time, however I didnā€™t mind seeing them though because I actually liked David Lee Rothā€™s antics on stage performing. I also loved him as the bandā€™s Front Man at the time before he was replaced by Sammy Hagar, who I liked as well as a Vocalist. But, I have to mention Eddie Van Halen because he does deserve recognition for also making VAN HALEN what it was with that electrifying guitar playing that made him one of the greatest guitarists of all time. It was HIS guitar playing on Michael Jacksonā€™s rock track, ā€œBeat Itā€. Eddie had a lot to offer. He had a nice look to him and seemed like a cool guy. He had a long battle with cancer and heā€™ll be very missed by the Rock World. **SOME LINKS** [Some Info On His Death](https://www.google.com/search?ei=DoKDX6vaLqS1ggfiirPICg&q=eddie+van+halen+dies&oq=eddie+van+halen+dies&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQAzIGCAAQFhAeMggIABAWEAoQHjoNCAAQsQMQgwEQsAMQQzoHCC4QsAMQQzoNCC4QsQMQgwEQsAMQQzoLCAAQsQMQgwEQyQM6CAgAELEDEIMBOgQIABADOggILhCxAxCDAToLCC4QsQMQgwEQkwI6AggAOgIILjoICCEQFhAdEB46CQgAEMkDEBYQHkoFCAgSATFQzKQCWLbeAmD55QJoBHAAeAKAAbsJiAHBIZIBDzAuNC4xLjEuMS4yLjAuMZgBAKABAaoBB2d3cy13aXrIAQrAAQE&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwirmZe6xq3sAhWkmuAKHWLFDKkQ4dUDCAw&uact=5#spf=1602464838439) [Some More Info On Him As An Artist](https://www.google.com/search?ei=JoCDX4KgJeuzggfKmKnoCg&q=eddie+van+halen&gs_ssp=eJzj4tTP1TcwTCtLyzNg9OJPTUnJTFUoS8xTyEjMSc0DAHqyCQI&oq=Eddie+&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQARgAMg4ILhCxAxCDARDJAxCTAjIECAAQQzIECC4QQzIOCC4QsQMQgwEQxwEQowIyCgguELEDEIMBEEMyCAguELEDEIMBMggIABCxAxCDATIECC4QQzIECAAQAzIICC4QsQMQgwE6BwgAELADEEM6CggAELEDEMkDEEM6AggAOgoIABDqAhC0AhBDOgcIABCxAxBDOgoIABCxAxCDARBDOgcILhCxAxBDOgsILhCxAxDHARCjAjoQCC4QsQMQgwEQyQMQQxCTAkoFCAgSATFQ6oAdWPKnHWDSzB1oAnAAeAKAAbUDiAH3JZIBCjAuMTAuNy4zLjGYAQCgAQGqAQdnd3Mtd2l6sAEKyAEKwAEB&sclient=psy-ab#spf=1602464789005) **\\m/ \\m/** **: L H I S A :** ### Was Eddie Van Halen The Best Rock/Heavy Metal Guitarist?
