to go Alright Oh! All right.

Well, here we are. It's a bonus episode.

Ethan and I were texting, and we just heard the news, the awful news that Eddie Van Halen, one of the greatest musicians of all time in one of the coolest bands ever, passed away today, 65 years old from cancer. Yeah, yeah, throat cancer. Yeah, I mean, you texted me and Paul like maybe, what, 40 minutes ago.

And I was in the middle of doing a remote session, and Clinton hit me up and was like,

hey, we should get on the horn here soon and do a quick little tribute to Eddie Van Halen.

And Clint's right.

I mean, not only one of the greatest of all time, but possibly the greatest of all time.

I mean, your Instagram post today was, I think, was perfect, where the only two you really need to talk about in regards to the goats are Eddie Van Halen and Jimmy Hendricks.

Yeah, and it's really more about, it's hard to make these categories the greatest and all this.

But it really is appropriate for him, not only because he could just play his ass off,

it's more than that.

It's really more about reinventing what was possible on a guitar, which of course Hendricks did.

But it's not even like he came out of the gate and emulated Hendricks even.

He just had his own thing.

And I've just been sadder about this than I thought I would be about him passing away.

Obviously, it's tragic. He's so young. But I've been sort of blowing up all my, you know,

Instagram and Twitter. And then, of course, all of our buddies are texting.
