I guess that’s the end of any possible version/reformation of VH. Unless Eddies son....
I wonder if DLR or SH play VH songs in their solo shows. Don’t think anyone cares if Gary Cherone does.
Anyway, thanks for those classics.

Gary Cherone
That was tragic.Eddie's son (Wolfgang!) was already playing bass in the band. Maybe Michael Anthony can come back and Wolfie can switch to lead.
I saw SH solo once at the Coogee Bay hotel in Sydney; 1998! He did do some VH songs. Great show.
There is no Van Halen without Eddie Van Halen. it's like ACDC without Angus.
Don't think that's right Tim. Pretty sure he died in 1991 the year after they won the flag.
Wow. Just saw this. Wasn't a van halen fan, but one of the absolute great guitarists. RIP.
I always thought this was a funny clip, comparing AC/DC with Van Halen. It doesn't feature Eddie unfortunately but is a good insight into the mindset of the bands.
Ron Best - central Victorian football superstar. In his heyday easily VFL standard, just didn’t want to move from Bendigo. Great bloke, great family.
My (Danish) wife asked me last night who Jacinda Barclay was. I was staggered that she had heard of this (I confess I had not heard of her until she died).
It turns out this made the mainstream papers in Denmark:
I find this quite amazing and the fact that it did says so much about the differences between Denmark and Australia on multiple levels.
First, Denmark is streets ahead of Australia when it comes to equality of the sexes. I imagine some cadet journalist in this newspaper was monitoring foreign news feeds, saw this, and the fact that it was a woman would have barely registered.
Also it says a bit about a certain inferiority complex Denmark has in relation to some of the more "high profile" countries. There is no way a similar death in Denmark, man or woman, would make the news to that level in Australia.

I have a different perspective but don't want to start a shitfight, this week of all weeks. Clearly a troubled soul.
R.I.P.
Saw a show on Netflix, I think, recently about him. Very interesting guy.
