As the engine behind the namesake band, Van Halen, Eddie was the guitar world’s biggest hero for almost half a century. He was a spirited innovator who revolutionized the way guitar was played, the way guitars, amps, and effects were designed, and the way rock bands dressed and behaved. From Van Halen’s debut album, Van Halen, to the band’s final studio release, A Different Kind of Truth, Eddie continually reinvented the wheel. He came up with dazzling new playing techniques, innovated gear, and influenced every guitar player to follow. The top acts from Pop, Rock, Metal and even Country were inspired by his forward thinking approach to everything he touched. As a guitarist, songwriter, and producer, Eddie’s music reflected an open mindedness and willingness to take risks. Eddie Van Halen never backed down, and that's what made him a legend. 538 Requires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB). 650 7 Celebrity & Gossip.|2OverDrive 655 0 Electronic journals. 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/6724037 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby. 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/11052-1/ %7B702164D2-0FD3-4BAD-9DAE-55E6EABE0210%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/11052-1 /%7B702164D2-0FD3-4BAD-9DAE-55E6EABE0210%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
