Eddie Van Halen — easily one of the greatest guitarists of all time, if not the greatest guitarist of all time — died on October 6, 2020. This episode is our tribute to all-things Van Halen. The boys dive into some band history and share some of their favorite tunes. Van Halen songs previewed on the episode include:

Top Jimmy (1984)
Why Can't This Be Love? (5150)
Unchained (Fair Warning)
Panama (1984)

Eddie Van Halen rightfully steals much of the spotlight in this recording. In the beard portion of the episode, the boys remind everyone that now is the time to shop at and support local businesses. Eric mentions another exciting limited edition fall beard product release from Iowa Beard Co. — Hatbox. Meanwhile, everyone drinks and reviews Alpha King Pale Ale from 3 Floyds Brewing Co. out of Munster, Indiana. A legendary beer drank in tribute to a legendary guitarist. RIP Eddie Van Halen!

Podcast bonus content: Eric mentions an article written by Chuck Klosterman that ranks all of the Van Halen songs. Here's the link.
