For those of us Boomers that were born in the 60's.

May you rest in peace guitar god.

Sucks!

 

[GATOR240]

Damn.

I used to try picking up the electric guitar. He was my favorite of all time.

 

[gmc2003]

Sucks!

We had two of the greatest guitarists ever in that era. Eddie and Rick Emmett from Triumph. Now we're down to one and he doesn't play anymore.

Mustn't forget about Randy Rhoads though he died of a tragic airplane accident while on tour with Ozzy. What is even more sad is we will never be treated to bands like we had...everything is sold out now for new bands it seems

 

[Hawging It]

True ROCKER!!

I was pretty bummed when I heard about that earlier. He was just a flat out awesome guitarist.

Truly gutted over this. RIP Eddie, you took the guitar to new heights and inspired a whole new generation of players to pick up the guitar. You will not be forgotten, and your music will live on forever. Thanks for the music and the inspiration.

Sad, but very true. Yesterday it was Mac Davis. Today Eddie. I have a wide taste of music. Like Mac said, "It's hard to be humble"

 

[JckDanls 07]

Yesterday it was Mac Davis

That's the first I've heard of Mac... dammit man...

 

[Steve H]

That's the first I've heard of Mac... dammit man...

Yeah. I know.

Didn't know! Sad. Some friends worked hard to cover Eddie's style of playing. Definitely a musical influence throughout the 80's. That and he married a teen Heartthrob Valerie Bertinelli!!!...JJ

 

[Fueling Around]

So many talented musicians in the era that brought a whole new sound.
He stands in the top 10

... and he married a teen Heartthrob Valerie Bertinelli!!!...JJ

And the Val is now a celebrity cook...
