'I was hoping he might be President one day.' Pete Townshend honors Eddie Van Halen, who died on Tuesday after a long battle from cancer

album,” Townshend tells. “I said I couldn’t do it but recommended Eddie who called and we chatted. He was utterly charming, happy about the connection, but told me how much he was enjoying playing keyboards. His smile was just classic. A man in his rightful place, so happy to be doing what he did.”

“It’s completely tragic that we have lost him,” he adds. “He was not just an innovative and stylish player with great taste, he was also a laidback virtuoso showman who just blew us all away every time. Every shredder today has lost their Master Teacher and Guide.” “As he got older he became more generous and amusing and self-effacing about his enormous gifts. He shared so many tricks through guitar workshops, online and on TV shows. Immense talent. The Great American Guitar Player. I was hoping he might be President one day,” Townshend says.

yuyuyu333333333 以下86年のインタヴューですが ピートとエディはかなり親しかったようですね (もう一人親しいエディが笑)。 二人のアルバム聞いてみたかったです。 ギターよりもシンセが目立つ物になったかも。

RIP Eddie Van Halen what a legend

We would all be better off 💯

how cool would that have been. At least he couldn't have done any worse but then again he was in charge of the holy grail. Music 🎸

He was always smiling.

Battle from cancer?

Jump is one of my favorite songs ever!

Aha, a pic of Eddie Van Halen holding one of his suicide weapons (a cigarette). His other weapon of suicide was booze which also causes throat cancer. He was a drug casualty (of legal drugs)!
