Even if the style of music isn't what you're into, you just have to appreciate true mastery and talent. While he didn't invent the double-tapping style, he perfected it and put it to the best use possible. He rose to fame at such a young age. I grew up listening to Van Halen and other rock bands of that era, and it's a sad loss. Read a couple articles this weekend, and found it interesting he started out on drums, got frustrated that he couldn't master a particular riff to Wipeout and traded instruments with his brother (guitar for drums). The rest is rock and guitar history. R.I.P Eddie. Rock on.
