Legend has it that the name Van Halen, seen etched in concrete at the corner of Allen and Villa in Pasadena, Calif., was done by brothers Eddia and Alex Van Halen when they lived in Pasadena, Calif., in their younger years, where a sidewalk memorial has begun, Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2020, after Eddie's death earlier in the day. Artists from Lenny Kravitz to Kenny Chesney are honoring Van Halen, whose blinding speed, control and innovation propelled his band into one of hard rock's biggest groups. (AP Photo/Andrew Dalton)
