Moonweasel’s 6 Song Sunday: EVH Birthday Edition

β€”

Well, I certainly couldn’t let this one pass by, could I?

As the title hints at, today is indeed Edward Van Halen’s birthday.

I don’t think it is any great secret how much I absolutely love Van Halen, and that Eddie, to me, is the GOAT.

And while it may seem silly to some for an *ahem* older gorilla to still be so smitten with a band and artist, I can honestly say that the impact their music had on me was immeasurable.

Music truly does have the power to heal, and it saw me through some very dark and difficult days.

Was Eddie a saint? No. He was human just like the rest of us. Did he have a positive impact on my life? Hell yes. And I am very, very grateful for that.

Happy Birthday, Eddie. Rest In Peace. Never forgotten.

Now, let’s listen to some VH and remember the good times, shall we?

I probably should have just said screw it and posted the complete albums, but I think this gives a pretty good taste. Rock on, y’all. 🀘😎🀘

And yeah, I know it’s 7 songs, not 6. It’s a special occasion, after all. πŸ˜‰

  1. What a Rockin’ way to wake up this morning! Usually I start my day off with jazz or blues but this? My friend, ‘Eruption’ was a good intro to bring me awake and start the day. Happy B-Day Eddie R.I.P. and thanx for the morning eye opener starring Moon Weasel. πŸ˜ƒπŸŽ‚β˜•

  3. Just finished this mini concert and enjoyed all the tracks bro. I claim unchained as my fav on this list today, ok I skipped Jump as that one has been burned out for me over the years.

    1. I was going to not include Jump, but it just somehow felt like it needed to be there. lol
      I had to kind of just say the hell with it and go with my first instincts, because if I had not, I’d still be debating which tunes to include πŸ˜„

      1. That’s the problem, picking out the ones to share. I would have used jump in mine but Black and Blue was just talking to me lol.

  4. Okay, this is aging me, but I remember Jump being played at the World of Wheels (skating rink) and everyone cheering. Whenever the word jump was sung, we all jumped in our skates. Hey, it was the 80s. LOL

    Happy heavenly birthday, Eddie.

      1. We’ve taken the Littles roller skating, but now, it’s the only rink around when there used to be several.
