Fall Out Boy guitarist Joe Trohman pays tribute to 'formidable, irreplaceable' Eddie Van Halen RIPEVH
It’s weird when someone you love passes away. Yes, it’s also sad, traumatic, devastating, grief-laden, painful, agonizing, mind-numbing, and just all-around horrible. But when someone who has taken up a particular space in your life — your entire life — just POOF, disappears virtually overnight… Well, the world suddenly feels incredibly strange. It’s a little like waking from a nightmare — everything is slightly off.has set everything askew for me.
My mom bought me my first Stratocaster, a vague wisp of the Frankencaster. I tried to learn how to play like Eddie but found it easier to carve my own niche as a guitarist. But even those who can emulate him, seemingly to a tee, can’t play like him. No one can. Eddie had his own niche — one that redefined the world of guitar.Ding zhenjie - Imaginechina
Now, keep in mind that while his playing was complicated as all hell, Eddie made sure that every lick was and catchy — hooks abound. So, on top of having an identifiable sound, and being one of the most technically gifted players to have ever walked the earth, EVH knew how to make every measure count. He knew how to craft an ear-worm, one that you welcomed to burrow into your mind for eternity.
In the pantheon of popular music, it’s a shame the guitar has taken a big-time back seat to more artificial musical leanings. I love the instrument; I’ve spent my whole life obsessed with it. So, yeah, it makes me sad to see it fading away, out of public interest. But I get it, we’re in a digital age, and the guitar is a bit too analog.
