In 1982 – the same year that Van Halen released their fifth consecutive platinum album Diver Down – Eddie provided one of his trademark guitar solos for Michael Jackson’s track “Beat It.” Although his only contribution to Jackson’s mammoth Thriller album, those roughly thirty seconds on the number one song transformed pop music, breaking through the color lines after years of rock radio and MTV largely ignoring black artists, in addition to helping a generation of listeners rediscover the idea that music is music. Though usually categorized as hard rock or even heavy metal, Van Halen typically bypassed the dark fantasy which had come to define the genre, leaning instead towards more of a general sense of fun (albeit loud fun).

The Netherlands-born Eddie had been axeman for the band Van Halen (which also included his older brother Alex on drums and later his son Wolfgang on bass) for more than four decades. That short list would obviously include Eric Clapton and the late Jimi Hendrix in addition to Edward “Eddie” Van Halen, who died on October 6 th at age sixty-five after a lengthy battle with cancer. The electric guitar may be the quintessential symbol of rock ‘n’ roll, but of the many individuals who’ve strapped one on over the years only a select few have made such an impact as to become virtually synonymous with the instrument.
