Cancer finally got him at 65. I like their music but I would always side with Dave before Eddie. And then when Eddie screwed Sammy over the same way he did Dave it confirmed what I already knew. He was a brilliant talented musician but a real asshole to have to work with.
I remember watching him in concert and trying to concentrate on his fingers while he was playing. What a blur. We have lost another great musician of my youth. D, JD!!! RIP EVH, you will be missed.
