Eddie on the cover of Rolling Stone

EDDIE GETS STONED: Rolling Stone’s newly updated list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,” headed by Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page, has Eddie Van Halen at #8, after the axe man landed at #70 the last time the mag did this survey back in 2007. This time, the voters included some of the world's best guitarists and other notable experts. The Stone also published four separate covers, one of which, as you can see, features Eddie, after just announcing that Van Halen would be doing their next album for Interscope. (11/30p)
