It's a nightly check-up: Edward have you been suffered from extreme whammy bar-itis? how about mind shreddingly fast and inhumanly, perfectly accurate and creative extemporaneously created melodies? He's riddled with them
@llcruize It didn’t start out that way. I used to be acquainted with Mammoth’s other guitarist, who co-wrote “Eruption” with EVH. He showed me a crazy tablature transcription of it that really looked like it pre-dated the VH band. And that’s “Cathedral” (from “Diver Down”) inserted at 4:43.
Every time I hear Van Halen I listen to it on CD or it comes on the radio. I start bawling my eyes out. He's been dead 3 years now. October 6th it's coming up October 6th. I miss him. So does the whole world he had tongue cancer? He wouldn't stop smoking. He was the best in the world. I guess next to Hendrix I don't know. But still I mean I'm 58 years old. I live in South Florida. Big 106 is my station. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how old you are. You're human. He was so good. I've seen Eddie play so many times live in concert. It's so mesmerizing you just cry. You really do you cry cuz you're happy. You cry cuz you're sad. It's just there. This was our generation. I miss him terribly and so does the rest of his fans rest in peace Eddie, you will never ever be not missed!! I loved watching him play the guitar. You can't take your eyes off of him
The one thing that stayed constant from his earliest bootleg recordings with VH to the reunion shows such as this one was his uncanny ability to play with such incredible accuracy and to stay in such good tune all the time.
I bought the first Van Halen album the week it was released in '78.. i was learning guitar at the time..upon hearing Eruption i realized a guitarist unlike any other had been unleashed on the music world. RIP Eddie VH..definitely one of a kind..
I came here to see how late-career Eddie Van Halen could pull off Eruption and left here with tears in my eyes. Very, very good and mind-blown tears in my eyes.
I remember crying the day he passed away, just knowing everytime I heared something of his pushed me to play guitar even more. What a sad day it was, god may he rest in peace
I was so shocked when my older brother told me eddie died, I had only heard his famous 13 long minute guitar solo in the 80s my dad though who is 59 grew up listening to Van Halen even playing the drums to there songs as he loved Alex the drummer and wanted to be like him in the 90s he was completely devastated.
I'm a guitar player and the minute I heard of his passing that very sad day i cried thinking we will never see someone so accomplished and so original ever again..RIP Eddie😢
And here he also had his hair grown out just one more time like the 80s. This version of Eddie was truly the best sober, pretty healthy, happy and already a longtime legend in the rock and roll world!
This shows he was perfectly capable of shredding nonstop if he wanted to but reined it in to make actual music, something the new gen of guitarists today have no clue about.
i get chills when I hear Eddie Orchestrating on Guitar! He turns it into a magical Experience that becomes very spiritual for me... Incredible! Love you, Eddie! RIP until then, we will be again...
THE MASTER! No others can do or will ever do what he did! Every DLR tour ,I was there and I was always shocked ,like it was the first time ever seeing him! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think this is a song it just shows how absolutely amazing Eddie was on guitar and he was a true genius a absolute rock god you will always be in our hearts forever rest in peace my friend 😢🕊️
Amazing what he endured , then Lost, then came back again! All of the guitarists from the era have today lost the drive. Ed did not! What a legacy he has left our Generation! Possibly the best he ever played. I'm sure he knew and gave it his all. No doubt
After all those years Eddie still had the enthusiasm of a teenager. I like Valerie's comment to Eddie at the end, she said " you're a good man Ed". Never met him but I liked him.
The best guitarist i've ever heard or seen live and in person. I'm biased since i grew up with VH and they were a huge influence. I know there are some all-timers like Angus, Eric, Jimi, SRV, Prince and others but Eddie's my tops! There are no wrong answers, just different viewpoints. Thanks for the memories, boys!
Anyone foolish enough to question if EVH isn't one of the greatest guitarists in history, I would recommend listening to this masterpiece - a lot. I promise you will never get tired of it
When was the first time you ever heard Eruption? I was at a outdoor party and this came on, on a boombox and I could NOT believe what I was listening to!
I always wonder what it was like to hear this and/or hot for teacher on the radio when it came out. He still sounds like an alien igniting a firecracker to me, but with all this connection to rock/blues and fusion guitar....so awesome.
One can see how happy he was, even euphoric doing what he loved, he was bold, creative, disruptive and eruptive all in one person, we are blessed to get to hear his music.
j'ai vu AC/DC à Paris cette année. Toujours aussi fabuleux. Angus toujours aussi énergique notamment lorsqu'il fait son solo sur la plateforme en se jetant au sol comme il le faisait ... beaucoup plus jeune. Long Live Rock and Roll.
I have seen him David Lee Roth together. Sammy Hagar with him so many times. It's breathtaking. It really is you cry. You just cry watching him mesmerizing. Just fucking unbelievable. I've been to a lot of concerts but Van Halen is the best. I live in South Florida. Listen to w bgg 105.9
Loved Eddie Van Halen so much just one amazing guitarist and always smiling I truly adore him and his playing technique he changed the way of guitar playing he wrote the best riffs and solos be never ever another guitarist like Eddie Van Halen.
I live in South Florida. I was there myself. I remember that concert. Awesome. Just fucking awesome. I live in fort Lauderdale rock on Eddie. Rest in peace. I still cry. Big 106 is all we have man
Alga and her rythms just sent me from watching Malmsteen to Eddie. Oh very happy day! Miss you EVH. THANK YOU for helping shape my childhood and building my musicianship between great effing music and bikini clad babes! You were the man and the guitar wizard!!
Für mich war Eddy van halen der beste Gitarrist der Welt, er konnte mit der Gitarre so spielen als ob er mit uns sprechen und erzählen würde, sein Lächeln war sein Markenzeichen, immer dieses Lächeln. Ein grosser Verlust für diese Welt, schade das der Alkohol und Zigaretten diese Person zum Tode verurteilt wurde. Diese schucht seie es beide ,ausser Kontrolle ist das leid passiert.
Eruption was a constant “in process” solo, he never really played it the same twice, always adding and tweaking it through the years.

He was way funnier when he was high tho...
Who else misses Eddie ? Thank you Sir, for all the great guitar music. Rest in peace buddy. You are one of a kind. Thank you.
By far the best guitarist to ever live and play
The spirit lives on in Wolfie!

Word fail so..... I will continue to listen ❤❤❤❤!!!
Love how the solo is like “ok internet, you all mastered my other stuff, so here, do this …. bitches” lol
The eruption solo had layers and 14 different chapters to it😂
damn straight
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No one on the planet can ever repeat this solo!! RIP Eddie!!!
I can
Matteo Mancuso is the next level..

I remember crying the day he passed away, just knowing everytime I heared something of his pushed me to play guitar even more. What a sad day it was, god may he rest in peace
Amen brother! I felt the same, miss him, the world just ain't the same!! 💪🎸🎼❤️🩹🙏🇺🇸🍻
I feel the same way! Musician of 12 years and the Death of Eddie was tough as hell.

Getting to see Eddie lean, mean, and sober in his last years with us was truly a gift.
And here he also had his hair grown out just one more time like the 80s. This version of Eddie was truly the best sober, pretty healthy, happy and already a longtime legend in the rock and roll world!
I really miss Eddie man. Thank God we have him on film to be immortalized.
4:45 I love how the whole crowd just went silence and immidietly starts listening 😍
R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen one of the greatest guitarists, Icons and legends ever!
He saved rock and roll when it was dying. Never came before him and never will after.
I am crying in this moment......the best of history,,,,,, RIP Eddie -----master......
ライトハンドの音色が本当に心地よいです。
この音色には思い出がたくさんありすぎて涙が溢れてしまいます。
エディ様、ありがとう!
卓越したテクニックと遊び心のあるサウンド、心地よいリズム!エディは素晴らしすぎる!もっと長生きしてほしかった…

EVH was a freak in the best sense of the word...experimented w his sound until he he gave us this masterpiece...RIP.🎸
The Brilliance this gentleman gave the world was Spiritually Exquisite !
Just learned that this is the man that all of my guitar techs were built on. This is truely amazing....
Amazing what he endured , then Lost, then came back again! All of the guitarists from the era have today lost the drive. Ed did not! What a legacy he has left our Generation! Possibly the best he ever played. I'm sure he knew and gave it his all. No doubt
I can think of a couple who haven't lost the drive, but most have, I agree.

That is ripping.
Eddie did a amazing job on guitar on this one rest in heavenly peace Eddie much respect to you and many more ✌️🕊️
Wow! He never did miss a step, did he? GOAT!❤

Simple!!!
Sublime, cada nota es deliciosa.
El mejor en su género.

Don't insult Eddie please.

His guitar was his kingdom, and he ruled harmoniously until his last day, truly one of a kind
Dam he was fast and clean and a true master of that instrument. He took everything out of that guitar it could handle, amazing skills.
He left us way to soon, God rest his soul
Rest in peace
The best guitarist to ever play on the face of the earth
All future and past generations, respect the legend.
8 minutes of pure bliss .. thank you EVH...the Legend
I always wonder what it was like to hear this and/or hot for teacher on the radio when it came out. He still sounds like an alien igniting a firecracker to me, but with all this connection to rock/blues and fusion guitar....so awesome.
I was 17 when 1984 came out. Just driving in my Dad's Z-28 jamming to Van Halen all summer. Good times.
エレキギターでこんなことできるんだって思わせてくれた曲の一つですね 一生忘れることはない
One of his best solos ever recorded live. Eddie was certainly at the top of his game that night for sure!
One can see how happy he was, even euphoric doing what he loved, he was bold, creative, disruptive and eruptive all in one person, we are blessed to get to hear his music.
I love EVHs interview at the Smithsonian. He is so sharp talking about his journey. Thank you sir for all the great music!!
もっともっと観たかったなー。
感動をありがとう。
I only saw them once. His solo spot was what I remember most fondly.
j'ai vu AC/DC à Paris cette année. Toujours aussi fabuleux. Angus toujours aussi énergique notamment lorsqu'il fait son solo sur la plateforme en se jetant au sol comme il le faisait ... beaucoup plus jeune. Long Live Rock and Roll.
I was lucky to see him live 5-6 times!
I have seen him David Lee Roth together. Sammy Hagar with him so many times. It's breathtaking. It really is you cry. You just cry watching him mesmerizing. Just fucking unbelievable. I've been to a lot of concerts but Van Halen is the best. I live in South Florida. Listen to w bgg 105.9
THE ONE AND ONLY.
Some of the greatest music from when they started until the end....... and into the future 🎉
Truely a legend ,just amazing guitarist ❤
エディーのギターテクニックは世界一で世界一のギターリストだと思う!彼のエレキギターの音色は
まるで教会のパイプオルガンの様だ
Excellent, extraordinaire…
J’en ai entendu et écouté des Eruption,
Çui la, il est pas piqué des hannetons….
EVH… un très grand monsieur…. 🙏🙏🙏
Just WOW!!!! I was lucky to see him a few times, what a legend.
Loved Eddie Van Halen so much just one amazing guitarist and always smiling I truly adore him and his playing technique he changed the way of guitar playing he wrote the best riffs and solos be never ever another guitarist like Eddie Van Halen.
He was the best ❤ I got to see him live at miami monsters of Rock in 1988 , at the orange boll stadium, never forget it !!
I live in South Florida. I was there myself. I remember that concert. Awesome. Just fucking awesome. I live in fort Lauderdale rock on Eddie. Rest in peace. I still cry. Big 106 is all we have man

Happy to have gotten to see them at the Hollywood Bowl some years ago. Quite a fun experience!
Gracias por compartir, Excelentes recuerdos, desde Caracas. Venezuela.
He was such a genius.
In deed one of the greatest musicians of all time,and greatest guitarist for sure
With Cathedral mixed in...outstanding...one of the best versions I've heard
Self taught who became the GOAT. PERIOD.
I've watched this multiple times now! 🤟🤟🎸🔥
Magical.
Just bad ass!! RIP Eddie ❤️🩹💪🎸🎼🙏🇺🇸🍻
same pfp 😼
My new favorite version.
Watching this reminds me why everyone called him "King Edward" --- he was the greatest and no one was better in the history of the electrical guitar
Hendrix then stevie ray Vaughan then Eddie van halen.in that order.
The King of the 6 string was back at this point...like a solid thread from 1983 or so to here! Wow that smile was back...in sync with his axe
He was truly one of the greatest of all Time
Saudade! O melhor de todos os tempos! The best all of times!
Für mich war Eddy van halen der beste Gitarrist der Welt, er konnte mit der Gitarre so spielen als ob er mit uns sprechen und erzählen würde, sein Lächeln war sein Markenzeichen, immer dieses Lächeln. Ein grosser Verlust für diese Welt, schade das der Alkohol und Zigaretten diese Person zum Tode verurteilt wurde. Diese schucht seie es beide ,ausser Kontrolle ist das leid passiert.
Ein Genie von dieser Grösse ist leider von uns gegangen und so schmerzhaft, wie er gelitten und die Familie auch.
often immitated...NEVER duplicated..........
DOMEでの感動が蘇ってきた!
I Went To Van Halen Last Concert
In California At The Hollywood Bowl.
It Was Great 👍😸
Perfect performance. Magnífico 👏👏👏👏
レジェンド ギターの神様✨
Eddie Van Halen Always Loved, Never Forgotten, Forever Miissed
SIMPLESMENTE UM LUXO... VIVA OS ANOS 80... QUE SABE FAZ NO BRAÇO...
The fact that the things he played on guitar just few years ago were considered in the line with the times and he played them since 1970 says it all
He was incredible...
Your a Legend Eddie Van Halen God bless you in Kingdom of Heaven 🙏🙏
Godlike. The Riff lord of all Riff lords! EVH
this guy was something else man
Wow the greatest to ever do it hands down # GOAT
