“Don’t be sad he’s gone, just be glad he was here, Godspeed Eddie Van Halen…”
The comment above was left on this video from an Eddie Van Halen fan named Roscoe. While it’s still hard to believe that Eddie Van Halen is no longer with us, we’re also so thankful and grateful that he was here.

Enjoy this look back at Eddie Van Halen giving MTV and the world a tour of his home studio in 1998!
