The best damn guitarist on this Earth. On par with Jimi Hendrix. Eddie's brother Alex plays drums and his son Wolfgang plays bass for their band, conveniently named Van Halen.

A world class original, Eddie Van Halen raised the bar on what a human can do with six strings and a pick-up on wood.

Amazing guitarist from Van Halen. According to Peter Jackson (PJ), the primary influence of King Diamond. Such an influence, King Diamond was inspired by Diamond Dave (David Lee Roth) himself for his name.
King Diamond would not exist without Eddie Van Halen.
