@MN5 He didn't move at all? The lack of motion in that video suggests that they were already dead.

As for Brown Mark - that is a really unfortunate name. Cruel parents, just call him Shit Stain, Skid Mark, and be done with it.

I follow him on FB. Cool dude and a hell of a bass player. I guess he chose that name to make him appear a bit more mortal to those of us who didn't make it quite as big as he did in the music world.

I would still say - not a good choice.

I didn't call myself yellow Snowy for example.

R.I.P Eddie Van Halen

Big fan of Van Halen, both the David Lee Roth and Sammy Hager eras. Loved the sound, had their own style mostly due to his guitar work.
Only 65, too young

Wow thats young. Circumstances? Google says throat cancer. Feels far too young

This sucks. My avatar tells you what this guy meant to me. I was lucky enough to meet him back in 1998 so I'll always have that. VH on the stereo today...

RIP Eddie.

Nooo! Well that's a man who leaves a legacy that's for sure.

RIP Eddie.

Wow this one comes as a shock.

Never a massive VH fan, they were a bit 80s hair metal for my taste but the dude was an undeniable game changer as a guitarist. Exceptional player.

RIP.

I didn't manage to get to any concerts of their only tour out here with Cherrone as lead, but I got to meet the man at an album signing. Huge grin, massive handshake with a "G'day mate!" thrown in - I knew then I had touched The Right Hand Of God.

Definitely one of the pioneers of the guitar. Remember reading how he would often have his back to the audience at concerts so no one could see his special ‘guitar moves’
