When we learned Eddie Van Halen had died at the age of 65 on Tuesday, Adam 12 took to the ROCK 92.9 airwaves for a four-hour tribute.
Four hours of Eddie's music, four hours of your phone calls. Stories about seeing Van Halen live, stories about jumping off of various pieces of furniture while cranking "Jump." We put a whole bunch of them together. Listen below. It's your tribute, after all.
