Very true. Cancer is the f-ing devil and has taken too many lives.

One of my long term friends grew up in Arcadia, CA and said that there were 2 bands that alternated playing at Arcadia High School dances. One of the two bands was Van Halen. It is interesting, at least to me, to go and find some of their original studio demo recordings. They were heavily influenced by Gene Simmons (who, I believe, helped "discover them").

couldn't agree more, eddie fought a good fight and was loved by many....but i don't envy him the pain he must have endured for so many years---i heard he had one third of his tongue removed in 2000.
