    10 year old me listened to "1984" over and over again, despite the fact that I could never properly explain why something with a baby angel smoking was ok for me to hear. What a master.

    wow, this is awful news.
    Correctly recognized as an amazing guitarist, but never got the recognition he deserved as a song-writer. Widely considered a wonderful soul too.
    RIP Eddie.

    Always sucks when a legend dies. Time to throw on some Eruption and celebrate his amazing work.

    so many memories of this band in my life ; the first time my older sis unwrapped the vinyl and cranked ''you really got me'' to high school dances in '84 when we'd all jump high whenever Roth would say may as well Jump to cruisin in my car in the 90's on a hot summer night listening to the song summer nights .

    whenever I'm down and need to get pumped up quickly I just listen to this one ........

    That's such a beautiful thing about music - no matter your race, religion, political affiliation, gender, whatever - none of it matters.
    Anyone hearing the hook in a song like this just forgets all their angst, if only for a moment.
