Ahhh, man. This stinks. 

 

I had no idea you liked Eddie Van Halen, Vapor. I always thought me and jrs1991 were the only ones around here who liked him.

I wasn't a HUGE Van Halen fan, but there was no denying the band's influence on the music of the '80s. 

While I wasn't a big fan myself, there is no doubting that they earned their iconic status. 

My mom and dad were both big fans. It's sad, he and the band helped revolutionize an era of music.

My dad introduced me to Eddie Van Halen when we heard "Jump" on the radio.

They even played "Panama" on Sesame Street once.
