Well, a big Happy Birthday to one of “Rock’s Greatest Guitar Players,” Mr. Eddie Van Halen! Born January 26, 1955 in Nijmegen, Netherlands, Eddie turns 63 years young today. He’s considered one of the best and most influential guitarists in the history of rock. Eddie formed the band Van Halen in 1972 in Pasadena, California. With the talents of Eddie, his brother Alex, David Lee Roth and Michael Anthony, the band became one of the most successful rock acts of the 1980’s cranking out huge hits such as Jump, Panama, I’ll Wait, and a slew of other monster rockers!
So happy birthday to you Eddie and thanks for all the great memories!
