The tributes keep pouring in for legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen, this time with a little New York City rock and roll vandalism. A local street artist has turned a Brooklyn train station sign into "Van Halen Ave."

Unless it's been removed, if you happen to be on the J/Z Van Siclen Ave stop on the corner of Fulton St., you might see Adrian Wilson's work.

Adrian writes "Come on people! I even explained on TV how this works and how easy it is. A famous person dies, look up the name of a subway stop and put a sticker over it to memorialize the person. It's that easy!"

He added "I left it 4 days for someone else to head to Brooklyn and take the credit but nobody stepped up, so ok, I guess I've got to do it myself… you're welcome."

Eddie Van Halen passed away on Tuesday, October 6th after a long battle with cancer. The tributes are already pouring in from all over the rock and metal world. See the ones we've collected here.

Footage surfaced of Eddie's solo SNL performance earlier today. You gotta see it, in addition to this 10 great Eddie clips we found on the internet.
