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 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.
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 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😢
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!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
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
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!
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 😢🕊️
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 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
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
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 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.
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!!
@2:13 Man, those tapped harmonics, how much I love them. I remeber when I was a teenager starting with the guitar and I discovered this sound from Eddie: absolute magic!
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.
Wow, I've read so many accounts of how Eddie became such a trainwreck as his life progressed, and how awful the reunion tours were. It's remarkable to see him so on top of his game in this clip. An incredibly flawed yet brilliant human being.
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
I always remember what Eddie said about playing guitar: "KEEP PLAYING, MAN, KEEP PLAYING." I want printed a photo with the eternal phrase!, THANKS EDDIE!

Eruption was a constant “in process” solo, he never really played it the same twice, always adding and tweaking it through the years.
It's a nightly check-up:

He's riddled with them

@@jonahkleitsch7652shoulda had that meloplasdy while he still could’ve been saved.
True... I'm a get to it kinda person,not wait and see sort.
I prefer the original version. That was perfect.
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!
I love you Eddie♥️ you hypnotize me
Mi manchi .. I miss you really hard
You are in my heart .. per sempre 💓💞 ♥️🕊️

Word fail so..... I will continue to listen ❤❤❤❤!!!
Eddie so clean and sober at the end of his life/career------we were so lucky to live when he did
There's no such thing as luck, you're either blessed or you're not
May be at his peek here.
@@johnnythejeweler6096 There's no such thing as being blessed, you're either lucky or you're not.
@@MusicMotivator I think we didn't get to see the peak...and we just got a peek
He was way funnier when he was high tho...
会場に居ました。昨日の事のように覚えています。ありがとうエディ！！！
No one on the planet can ever repeat this solo!! RIP Eddie!!!
I can
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.
Yes sir!
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.
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!
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😂
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.
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.
God, not god.

I really miss Eddie man. Thank God we have him on film to be immortalized.
RIP EVH. A true master of the guitar. I could watch him play all day and he made it look so effortless. One of a kind
Eddie did a amazing job on guitar on this one rest in heavenly peace Eddie much respect to you and many more ✌️🕊️
I am crying in this moment......the best of history,,,,,, RIP Eddie -----master......
4:45 I love how the whole crowd just went silence and immidietly starts listening 😍
Imagine having changed the WORLD...
Please
@@johnnythejeweler6096 You must have a sad life.
@@j.p.f.4007 I have come to see that most people do
Jesus did that. Not EVH.
yea randy changed the world for me not eddie
Just learned that this is the man that all of my guitar techs were built on. This is truely amazing....
Wow! He never did miss a step, did he? GOAT!❤
Smiling, Head Shaking and Tears in the Eyes, thanks for this brilliant performance
The more I watched the more I was pulled in. Never been completely absorbed into a video before.
One of a kind.
The Brilliance this gentleman gave the world was Spiritually Exquisite !
スッゲー🎉ギター1本で、これだけいろんな音やフレーズが出せるなんて、やっぱ、天才🎉🎉🎉
A musician without compromise, until the very end of life❤️
He saved rock and roll when it was dying. Never came before him and never will after.
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…
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!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unmatched creativity, skill and talent.

R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen one of the greatest guitarists, Icons and legends ever!
Simple!!!
Sublime, cada nota es deliciosa.
El mejor en su género.
Saludos desde la ciudad de México.
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.
8 minutes of pure bliss .. thank you EVH...the Legend
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.
Damn he was the GREATEST!!! RIP GOAT EVH!!!!
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 only saw them once. His solo spot was what I remember most fondly.
I love EVHs interview at the Smithsonian. He is so sharp talking about his journey. Thank you sir for all the great music!!
this world will NEVER.. ever have anything like him EVER again...EVH is like the BEATLES.. no one will ever.. ever compare in music history period..
Don't insult Eddie please.
Truely a legend ,just amazing guitarist ❤
笑顔がサイコーなんだよー😊✨
唯一無二🎸✨
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 😢🕊️
もっともっと観たかったなー。
感動をありがとう。
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!
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
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
Who ever found this song thank you so much for finding it 😁👌🤘
미친듯이 그립다... 기타의 신.. ㅡㅜ
I've watched this multiple times now! 🤟🤟🎸🔥
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
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
His guitar was his kingdom, and he ruled harmoniously until his last day, truly one of a kind
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 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.
He was such a genius.
In deed one of the greatest musicians of all time,and greatest guitarist for sure
Dude was above and beyond, on another level.
No he wasn't
@Johnny oh look, comic book store guy...
@@johnnythejeweler6096 Yes he was.
@@johnnythejeweler6096 when his album came out in 1978 everyone knew he invented the next level of rock music
Just WOW!!!! I was lucky to see him a few times, what a legend.
One of his best solos ever recorded live. Eddie was certainly at the top of his game that night for sure!
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!!
THE ONE AND ONLY.
All future and past generations, respect the legend.
Excellent, extraordinaire…
J’en ai entendu et écouté des Eruption,
Çui la, il est pas piqué des hannetons….
EVH… un très grand monsieur…. 🙏🙏🙏
With Cathedral mixed in...outstanding...one of the best versions I've heard
弾けないけどギターのすばらしさを教えてくれたエディに感謝
@2:13 Man, those tapped harmonics, how much I love them. I remeber when I was a teenager starting with the guitar and I discovered this sound from Eddie: absolute magic!
Some of the greatest music from when they started until the end....... and into the future 🎉
エディ最高！エディよ永遠に！
まさに究極の神業。彼にしかなし得ない音楽。
Happy to have gotten to see them at the Hollywood Bowl some years ago. Quite a fun experience!
Magical.
Just bad ass!! RIP Eddie ❤️🩹💪🎸🎼🙏🇺🇸🍻

Gracias por compartir, Excelentes recuerdos, desde Caracas. Venezuela.

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
DOMEでの感動が蘇ってきた！
My new favorite version.
Wow, What KILLER Talent!! We Love You Eddie! mob 🎸🔥☮️
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.
often immitated...NEVER duplicated..........
Awesome videos tboneman!!.....thank you!!
レジェンド ギターの神様✨
Eddie will live in my heart forever.
My testosterone level raised 1000%
This is the best!!!
How can anyone dispute he was the GOAT?
None here
Self taught who became the GOAT. PERIOD.
this guy was something else man
He was truly one of the greatest of all Time
Awesome ....even his look so sick....
I always remember what Eddie said about playing guitar: "KEEP PLAYING, MAN, KEEP PLAYING." I want printed a photo with the eternal phrase!, THANKS EDDIE!
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
The. Loud,brothers. The best. Duos. To ever. Pick up a instrument. Simply. Amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Oh man. What any of us aspire to play like, in our wildest dreams.
He was incredible...
I could try and play that for 10,000 hours straight and I would never sound as good as Eddie.... ever.
Godlike. The Riff lord of all Riff lords! EVH
I love You Van Halen
The GOAT
