Van Halen Heartbroken Over Jackson

31. Michael Jackson was truly a master of music. I am appalled to hear people still ridiculing him and accusing him of child molestation. I morn the loss of Michael with the respect that he deserves and that he showed to people throughout his life. He provided the soundtrack for the 80's and who can forget the awesome guitar solo in Beat It provided by another great Eddie Van Halen.

32. We Love You, Eddie! You are the greatest guitar genius of all times!!!! Please hook up with Sammy again and tour. For me and my friends, those were the best times. Take care of yourself. You still are a hottie :-) And, Michael J. - RIP.

33. Eddie, very classy comment. Eddie -You are the greatest of all times! Genuis is the word that best describes you! I love all VH songs. No matter who the lead singer was/is. If it had you and Alex, it was VH! I especially love the music with Sammy....the best of all times. Have the VH greatest DVD and wear it out daily. You are still a hottie too! ....Take care of yourself. And, perhaps get back with Sammy and tour....would love to see that! And, Michael J - RIP ---Loved Beat It...was listening to that on MTV this am....love the guitar solo :-) As a side note: It's nice when MTV actually plays music/music videos!!!

34. #30 (Mary) I agree. and I like this post from the O'Jays "The world has certainly lost a great individual and we only hope that America and the rest of the world will continue to focus on the positive and not speak poorly of a man who was under constant scrutiny his entire life. We are happy to have had the opportunity to know Michael since he was a little boy and most recently we had the pleasure of working on one of his projects in Los Angeles. ... God bless you, Michael, and we will miss you!" — The O'Jays, Walter Williams Sr., Eddie Levert Sr. and Eric Nolan Grant.

And if you (not you Mary) don't know who EVH is then you are NOT a rocker. I can not even believe that someone does not know who he is! LoL! And why was Valerie the problem? Sheesh. People, if you don't know someone personally, you have no right to post crap like you actually know what you are talking about. Dumb arse.

35. People like Banana Hammock need to keep there mouth shut when it comes to situations like this. I man just paid respect towards Michael and you have the nerve to rip into him for it. I think we all know Eddie isn't the greatest when it comes to certain situations but this isn't the time and place to make them types of comments.

41. "Beat it" is one of michael's biggest hits in his career made by him and another legend in the music business(Eddie van halen),i don't see why people are making fun of eddie? michael personally invited to record "Beat it" back in the early 80's. neither michael or eddie should be made a fool of....Thank you Michael jackson and Eddie van halen.Rest in peace michael jackson!
