I was talking to my dad about that today. No one has ever sounded like him before or after. I think Steve Vai got the closest, but sounds entirely different still.Fucking legend. Sucks he died, but he's still a legend, and always will be. No one will replace him on the guitar like that. No way.

That's awesome. I'd say Nuno was pretty close to his style. Has a very woody toneI read an article a long time ago about this. I think it was Nuno Bettencourt. He met Eddie sometime during sound check before a show and Eddie let him play through his rig. Nuno said that despite that it STILL didnt sound like Eddie.
Shouldn't have been doing drugs and alcohol. Or I guess eating metal guitar picks?what in the fuck
RIP
Eddie began receiving treatment for tongue cancer in 2000. The subsequent surgery removed roughly a third of his tongue. He was declared cancer-free in 2002.[72] He blamed the tongue cancer on his habit of holding guitar picks in his mouth, stating in 2015: "I used metal picks – they're brass and copper – which I always held in my mouth, in the exact place where I got the tongue cancer. ... I mean, I was smoking and doing a lot of drugs and a lot of everything. But at the same time, my lungs are totally clear. This is just my own theory, but the doctors say it's possible."[73
