If I haven't seen it before, it's getting saved. I don't care if it's 10 pixels, EVERY. PHOTO. MATTERS.

Also, for some reason bad quality photos are like...10x funnier. What's the psychology behind that? I don't know. But it's true.

more evh stuff because I am a sucker for him

okay so like let's bring it back to the edging that you mentioned in your last post about him

like he's between thr readers legs just absolutely going to town but every time they're about to cum he just stops and you see the shit-eating grin on his face bc this has been going on for what seems like forever and of course, hes just as enthusiastic about it as when he started too, only he gets more and more turned on by this so hes whimpering into their cunt near the end and its just too hot- and omg he's so pretty but anyways his face is covered in slick and he's somehow even more fine like how is that possible

sorry my inner demons came out-

woah okay thats so real

like you're bucking your hips up into his mouth about to cum and he just pulls off of you and starts kissing your thighs.. and youre whimpering and begging "please... pleasseee eddie.." and he just smiles big and gives your thighs a few love bites...

"you look so pretty when you beg.." dragging out his sentence into another kiss on your thigh....

when he goes back down he's going really slow and making you whine and grab his hair while he looks up at you occasionally to watch you react to his tongue on you<3

when he finally lets you cum he's squeezing your thighs and moaning into your pussy and rutting his hips into the matress for some stimulation of his own <3 he cant wait to fuck you stupid on his cock once youre done coming down from your high on his tongue.

youre muttering "thank you"'s and "i love you"'s to him while he crawls up your body and prepares to fuck you into next week <3

3 years ago today, for me the music died for this one day, I couldn’t listen to any, couldn’t think of any, it was a sad one around the world as we learned of losing EVH!!

King Edward will reign forever, there is no throne to be passed on, this one he molded and built, long live Edward!!

EVH Forever.

Eddie's guitar playing helped me find my confidence when I was a teenager, and for that I will forever be thankful.

[greeneyezblackheart]

The only Van Halen album I've heard so far that Sammy Hagar did is 5150. Of course, I'll listen to the others, but that's the only one so far. And is it just me, or does his voice sound REALLY similar to David Lee Roth's? I'll be completely honest- I thought that was DLR singing. I know he left in 1985, and it didn't dawn on me that he wasn't singing until I saw that 5150 was released in 1986. It wasn't till then that I connected the dots. I would have NEVER known. I mean, am I crazy, or do they sound almost exactly alike?

And Eddie is the newest LOML, by the way. In case I haven't made that clear 😂. Just look at him! I can't get over how adorable he was! 🥺🥺🥺

Girl, I’m right there with you with EVH—I love that sweet little impish grin of his. So adorable. When he passed away a few years ago, it hit me pretty hard. As far as celebrity deaths go, that one really affected me. I played VH religiously for about a month, and sometimes I’d just cry and cry listening to them.

I think I do kinda hear some similarities between Eddie’s and Sammy’s voices now that you mention it. I’ve never thought about it before. Interesting. Funnily enough, I think I read somewhere that during Sammy Hagar’s tenure in the group, they never did any of DLR’s songs when they’d perform. I suppose they could have, though. He could definitely pull off those songs.

My favorite VH songs mostly feature Sammy on vocals:

*** If you never listen to any of these (that you’ve not already heard before) you gotta listen to Don’t Tell Me What Love Can Do. Eddie’s guitar in this song just does something to me, makes me feel some type of way. 😮‍💨

Fun fact: In case you didn’t know this (I’m sure you probably do), EVH played the guitar solo on Michael Jackson’s song Beat It. Completely made the song. And speaking of Michael Jackson, in case you didn’t know, Slash played on the song Give In To Me. Both of these are AMAZING songs. Not sure how you feel about MJ, but I figured I would share anyway. 😌

Give In To Me. Holy crap, that’s a good song. One I haven’t heard in forever. I think I’ll go listen to it now.

dearrrrr diaryyyyyy

i couldn’t sleep last night i literally just laid in bed tryna sleep til my alarms went off. it was dehumanizing. naturally, when they did go off a i started sobbing but ofc i didn’t quit bc im too pussy. i just wanna stick it out til i find a new job, i feel like it’s the mature and responsible thing to do. everyone’s just telling me to drop work, get a student loan, and just go to school. but i wanna be financially stable and independent of my parents before i do that. i have other priorities to be honest. i want to move out, into moncton first. but if that’s not financially feasible i at least want to have my license. anyway, i like my plan i can stick it out a while longer w ms crazy (my mother). shes a d1 narcissist who wants to control every aspect of my life btwww. anyway

bro i’m actually pretty pleased w the whole brf thing? it’s been radiosilence over there, i have no idea what she’s thinking or feeling but ig it doesn’t really matter. being friends w her made me feel BAD regardless of the good memories we have tg, she just wasn’t a good friend, she wasn’t the OG trio yk? well technically me luvergirl and evh weren’t the original trio, but we were the first one that stuck lmao. ig that weird twink (m) was our first trio 🤦‍♀️. honestly tho guys this feeling started when luvergirl texted me and sent me the video we made where i promised not to go back to fkershit. literally out of nowhere bc she heard i was talking to him again and was worried about me. and ig it made me realize that like luvergirl cares more about me when we ARENT on speaking terms than rbf does in general. like me and luvergirl haven’t talked in like 4-5 months and we still speak so highly of eachother and if we ever do cross paths or speak we always say we love eachother. its literally the healthiest thing, we just genuinely love eachother and know this space is for the best bc i messed up bad. and SHE WANTS TO FORGIVE ME, she’s trying to. like we’ve communicated this. it’s insane to me the things that can happen when two ppl with emotion intelligence one tg. it’s rare😍. anyway ig jess just set a standard for me and i don’t wanna be friends w ppl who exhaust my energy and make me feel bad.

that’s just all lore from forever ago. maybe one day i’ll get into my feelings and drop the me x luvergirl xbitchface love triangle/ beef / timeline. but honestly it just makes me sad, i miss my girl.

i’m kinda hoping i didn’t mess up my sleep schedule td bc im not doing this whole nocturnal can’t sleep manic episode thing again. i am too much slewerslidal ideation for that i WILL follow through. that got so deep lmaoaoaoa. but it’s true like im acc not well. my job makes me hate being alive bro “aJoBThATsLoWLyKiLLsYoU” 😛😛 TAKE ME ALREADY. anyway lol el oh el?

i woke up at 10pm ik im cooked but ima try to get really the opposite of low and take melatonin. i’m watching rob thr master absolutely sell and he’s raginggggg. lolllll goodnight for now probs- s

[hellbentformetal]

Since I turn 51 today, I thought it would be appropriate for a little 5150. EVH forever.

James reacting as you should when you're blessed enough to meet Eddie Van Halen.

[fuckyeahvanhalen86-95]

David Lee Roth spoke about his iconic relationship with Eddie Van Halen, saying that playing iconic VH songs with the late guitar hero was "better than any love affair I ever had".

There's never been any doubt that Van Halen changed the course of music history. The band's legendary self-titled 1978 debut album heralded that change, announcing the end of '70s' blues-rock's dominance and ushering in an exciting new era of scorching guitar solos and bombastic live shows. And just as Eddie Van Halen revolutionized the electric guitar, so too did David Lee Roth's insane levels of charisma raise the bar for future vocalists.

Of course, any Van Halen fan knows that the band certainly had its share of interpersonal strife, but David Lee Roth still seems to have nothing but love for his late bandmate. Roth reflected on the times he shared with Eddie, who passed away on October 6, 2020, in a new episode of his "The Roth Show" podcast (transcription via Blabbermouth):

"My dear departed Ed... Boy, I miss him. I had a ball with Ed. Walt Disney once said, 'You know what? My love affair with Mickey Mouse was better than any love affair with a woman I ever had.'

I've gotta tell ya: playing with Ed, writing songs with Ed, presenting those songs with Ed was better than any love affair I ever had. And some of those songs, I think, might last forever — or until the last syllable of time, like Shakespeare said. They became anthems. Where are they playing 'Jump' right now?"

Noting how EVH actually played the synthesizer on "Jump", he said:

"I remember when he played it on the keyboard downstairs. I said, 'No'. [laughs] Well, we reflect the times, and the times at that time was guitars, guitars, guitars; and 'Jump' was one of those hybrids."

Lately, David Lee Roth has been releasing re-recorded versions of Van Halen classics, and has most recently put out a new version of "Everybody Wants Some!!".

RIP EVH

His music will live on forever u-u

EVH

There’s only a small number of people that can be credited with truly changing the course of the instrument they play. It’s an monumental feat for any artist to have that kind of impact and influence on any instrument, but Eddie Van Halen was without a doubt among that small pantheon of people who changed the electric guitar.

You can distinctly draw a line of the electric guitar before and after the first Van Halen album. If you were a guitarist, you probably remember the first time hearing, “Eruption.” I certainly do. And like millions of others, it blew my mind.

Fast forward a few years and I got tickets to see VH’s 2004 Summer Tour, where the band reunited with Sammy Hagar. Eddie looked awful, and it was beyond difficult to watch. He had part of his tongue removed due to throat cancer, but there he was, smoking on stage and drunk to the point where he could barely play. He could barely talk, slurring his words. Having just lost my father from lung cancer a year before, it was heartbreaking.

After that concert, I kind of stepped away from VH for a while. It hurt to see someone you so admired in such bad shape. It wasn’t until two years later, I started working as an intern at Guitar World where I learned about Eddie, the person.

I never met him personally, but even though he never was physically in the offices during my two years there—he was in the throes of addiction—his presence was felt throughout the halls. No one there had a single bad word to say about him, and it was always a highlight when any of them would share a story about him. No matter the department, if you worked at GW, Eddie was most likely the reason they were there—and like millions, probably the reason they picked up a guitar in the first place. I learned about his demons, and how he was fighting them for his son, who was just a bit younger than me. My respect for him, as a musician and a man, has been unwavering ever since. No bad concert experience could change that, and seeing him sober and healthy again in recent years only cemented my admiration for him.

Eddie was never a major influence on my own playing, but I always respected his virtuosity—how could you not?—and the pure joy in his playing. While so many guitarists looked super serious or tried to look “cool,” he almost always played with a big smile on his face. Not only was it contagious, but you absolutely heard it in his playing as well. And to put aside his incredible playing for a second, without his tinkering of making his guitars and gear work for him, Guitar World, and the guitaring world at large, wouldn’t be what it’s become over the years. Full stop.

Eddie was the real deal, and his loss is beyond gargantuan. The list of those who forever changed the trajectory of the electric guitar is a short one. Les Paul and Jimi Hendrix come to mind. And so does EVH.

Shred in Peace, Edward Van Halen.

Top Ten EVH solos

1 - Eruption (1978)

The pivotal moment in the evolution of rock guitar playing. In 1 minute and 42 seconds Eddie completely redefines the sonic and technical capabilities of the instrument forever. The introduction is standard enough with a big glissando and opening power chord and some high speed runs.

But when Eddie reveals his series of rapid two-handed tapping triads, jaws dropped, listeners said WTF and guitarists everywhere thought “Shit I gotta up my game.” It’s as if Bach himself has beamed in from the past, plugged his harpsichord into an FX rack and Marshall amp, blown our minds and then fucked back off again. Genius.

- 6 Crushes Ask -

gonna be totally honest with you guys, i wasn’t tagged in this, but it did appear as a free-for-all on my timeline, and i think it’d be so lovely to have these documented to look back on years from now, to remember who had my heart in pop culture and music history in mid-‘19. so here it goes! an ode to the people i annoy you all with my undying love for, if you will...

1.) eddie van halen

guitar boy. “listen to me make these animal noises” boy. the most chaotic man who owns my heart, eddie is an absolute master of 80s rock and obviously has gone down in history has one of the most influential guitarists of all time. he’s gone through hard times and downfalls, and plenty of controversy, but i think i’ve realized eddie only ever wanted to make legendary music and to do what he loves. and he’d do whatever it took to achieve that greatness and happiness. stay errupting, evh 💛

2.) eddie vedder

prince of grunge, baritone of the 90s. i only officially considered myself a true pearl jam fan in january of this year. one thing led to another, and i suddenly knew what made that band so captivating. obviously their music and their story is one i think everyone should read up on, but eddie’s background and what he stands for is something i’ve admired from the start. truly one of my favorite frontmen and such a beautiful soul.

3.) david gilmour

master of 10 minute guitar solos, only man i’ve ever loved with that greasy of hair. earlier this year, @515oh and i decided we were gonna make ourselves become fans of pink floyd, a band that neither of us had ever actually listened to in-depth. needless to say, it doesn’t take long to stan such a legendary band. this dude stole my heart with his love for instrumentation and soft nature. much love to dg.

4.) joe strummer

punk boy of my dreams, controversial reggae enthusiast that i adore. joe is such a wild card in my list of people i admire, and yet i don’t think twice about why i love him so much. this guy. is. so. full. of. passion. all of the rebellious performances, loud songs, and cries for justice come across so angry and annoying to some people, but joe and the rest of the clash had hearts so full of love and passion that they would shout their beliefs until someone heard. i hope you’re somewhere with a guitar, a cigarette, and a nice view, JS. rip 💛

5.) steve perry

mr. has-never-sung-off-key, will destroy you with kindness if you mess with any of his band mates. i’ve been knew for so long that the frontman of journey was something to behold, but my love for him has grown exponentially over the last several months. i truly don’t believe another voice can top steve perry’s. not in the same sweetness, power, and passion that his conveys. as one of my least problematic faves, steve owns the softest bits of my heart forever and ever

6.) roger taylor, john taylor, simon le bon, nick rhodes, (and ok) andy taylor

is this last one cheating? ok well, too bad because i really do love so many things about every member of this band so equally, and choosing just one of them would break my heart. my sixth crush(es) are a group of iconic musicians and performers that each have proved to be so much more than 80s heart throbs. whether it’s john’s insane bass skills that you can feel in your core, roger’s equally unreal rhythms and wholesomeness, simon’s range and humor, and nick’s unapologetic realness (and truly the backbone of the band). these dudes deserve all your attention and love. they’re still rocking today and aren’t stopping anytime soon ✨

not expecting anyone to have read through these, BUT i’m tagging anyone who sees this to post about your faves as well!! keep loving and posting and talking about the things you love, it’s pretty good for you 💛
