Eddie Van Halen    1955-2020

 

Eddie Van Halen ('s)

razzle-dazzle guitar-playing

— combining complex harmonics,

innovative fingerings

and ingenious devices

he patented for his instrument —

made him the most influential

guitarist of his generation

and his band, Van Halen,

one of the most popular rock acts

of all time

 

(...)

Mr. Van Halen structured his solos

the way Macy’s choreographs

its Independence Day fireworks

shows:

 

shooting off rockets of sound

that seemed to explode

in a shower of light and color.

 

His outpouring of riffs,

runs and solos

was hyperactive and athletic,

joyous and wry,

making deeper or darker emotions

feel irrelevant.
