RIP, EVH. God wanted another guitar master for his band, thus he called Eddie home.
Lemy needed a guitar guy, and he knew exactly who
Eddie was God's best creation and yeah took him back. I am so glad that I lived in a time when he was here. I had seen him in concert. It was the best concert I've seen in my lifetime!
We love you VH RIP
You took the words out of my head . The one and only Eddie . R.i.p. sir Eddie ❤😢
Eddie influenced an entire generation of guitarists. He is one of greatest players ever!
Bill Biron so did Jimi Hendrix
Dime Bag
he said Tommy Bolin was his biggest influence
Generations...
Not just a generation, Eddie influenced the art of guitar playing itself
It's common knowledge that Eddie made a deal with the Devil, no one knows what Eddie got but the Devil got guitar lessons
The Devil went down to Pasadena
domsdos Eddie got throat cancer!! So the devils got him!!!!
Master of the 8 finger. Notetapping from hell!!!! Not a bad find for Gene Simmons
That is the very BEST response I've read... LOL, you get Comment of the Decade for this!....
@@davidkledzik2724 Great post Dave. Most people don't know that Gene Simmons also wanted to have Eddie leave Van Halen and join Kiss, but once Dave caught wind of it, he told Gene to basically go to hell! (this is well documented).... Gene thought Eddie was amazing, but thought Dave would hold them back as the singer......Seems Gene had his fingers as well as his toungue into everything back then... Woohoo!
Darling, he is not summoning the guitar gods, he is the guitar god and he is answering prayers :)
Amen
Agreed
...……..AAAAAAnd he plays the same thing today, but a different variation.They say he "Spawned a new generation of guitar players"..And most are better than he is...Let the hate begin
@@doncummings8599 and your point being? You'd think close to 35 years down the line that shouldn't be too surprising 🤷♂️🤦♂️also, as a complete musical package I still don't think too many people are that much better than him, not to mention have his innate sense of melody and rhythm
@@michaelpachuau3885 Oh, he's without question the best rhythm player of all time, just after 40 some-odd years of hindsight, he made a career out of a gimmick When "Eruption" first came out , yeah we all went "WTF?" but a guitar player buddy of mine figured it out in about a day/ So the "solo" from a guitar player standpoint, couldn't have been that difficult.Its not like he was trying to figure out some kind of insane classical guitar piece. It's tapping your finger(s) on the fretboard..Thats it..Let's not go overboard with the "God" reference here
The pretty little song at the very beginning is Eddie's most personal song. The song is titled '316'; pronounced "Three Sixteen", and is the birth date of Ed's only child Wolfgang Van Halen, who's mother is Eddie's long time wife Valerie Bertinelli. Many years after this video, Wolf became the Bass player for Van Halen, and is now (2020) putting the final touches on his first solo album. Wolfgang was lucky to inherit his Father's musical gift... On this new album, Wolf plays EVERY instrument and does the singing. I can't wait to hear it.
Thank you I was wandering if this was ever released as it’s own song
@@kevinnaylor2500 yes it was. In the album For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge( F.U.C.K)
He is the greatest, he is the GOAT!
Much of the smoke coming from his guitar wasn't from the cigerette.
Living Guitar Legend 💪 I hope he beats the throat cancer, so he can return to the stage and keep rocking!
He has cancer again?!? That's a bitch. I've had it 3 times, myself. I hope he pulls through!
Unfortunately, he did not
Rest in Peace man:
Born : January 26, 1955
Died : October 6, 2020
:(
Sadly he died about a year ago. 💔
One of the greatest guitarist 🎸 of all time! EVH! GET WELL SOON !
Edward is one of the few people who can claim that they changed the face of western music. It just goes to show that effects pedals are all very well, but your tone is in your fingers.
Little known fact....Eddies “Strat” smoked a cigarette after this. 😂
Sean Joseph it was a Jackson
@@charliebuccafurno7698 Wrong, it was a Kramer
It smoked a cigarette during the solo
Hello, it's a Strat body with a Kramer neck.
It's neither a start nor a Jackson...... it's Frankenstein
Van Halen was my uncle's jam growing up, but when I heard them I new there was something completely different about this guitar player. There are a zillion awesome guitar players, all with different styles, but there is only one Eddie Van Halen. 🤟
eddie van halen and stevie ray vaughan"UNDEFEATED"
damn straight
Stevie and Eddie are at the top of my list.
Not in the same league as Eddie.Average player
@dimebag Darrell dont get me wrong randy was great but in my opinon eddie is in a class by him self thanks for your opinion
@@Carlos-of5cv average player dude., you must be out your mind take another hit and sleep it off and have a good day
Thing about Eddie Van Halen... He never played Eruption the same. Every single time he played it live, it was different.
Eddie is a phenomenal talent. Not only great technical skill but innovative as well. When I was introduced to VH back in the 70's, he quickly became one of my favorite guitarists. You can tell it's Eddie no song introduction is needed.
It only takes a few notes to know that it's Eddie. Distinctive style. Technically great with a few twists of his own.
Straight up Love that dude... I had the gift of being born in 76..... I remember putting my allowance together with my older brother for I and II...…. and 1984 absolutely changed the world...….... Our stylus burned thru the 84 album so fast we bought another and then cassette..… Straight up must have jams for life.....
Eddie Van Halen will forever be my favorite rock and roll lead guitarist.
There was no book for this, this was Eddie in his early twenties re inventing the wheel.
@Moto GP He's not saying Eddie is 21 here. He's saying Eddie was in his 20's when he developed this particular method.
@Moto GP I merely said I interpreted John's comment such that he meant Eddie was 21 years of age when he first thought of playing this way. If you interpret it differently that's fine. My post was cordial and I didn't start out by directing smartass remarks about you being a "mind reader" but when people respond that way just because someone very nicely stated the way they thought it sounded, it says a lot about that person.
@Moto GP I was referring to Ed coming up with the " Brown sound" in about '76, he is in a RUclips video discussion at the Smithsonian institution talking about his unorthodox approach to guitar.
Thank God for Ed!
Eddies 30th present to himself was firing David Lee Roth. Early twenties were in the rearview. Get well soon Ed!
You are Watching Eddie Van Halen change the world In his PRIME at 33 yrs old!!
The thing that's really trippy is that he started playing piano when he was a kid. There's a lot of Van Halen to like and they go all over the spectrum. If you want to listen to something fun you should check out a song called Big bad Bill (is sweet William now) you wouldn't believe it's the same guy you just watched and it's also got his dad playing clarinet which is just kinda cool
Anytime you see Eddie performing on stage or a music video he always has that unique smile of his. All performers smile but Eddie's smile is always so genuine and welcoming and seemed like it was more of an involuntary action for the love of his craft. It was a real treat to see Van Halen back in the day. My personal favorite was the David Lee Roth period because, for all his issues, DLR was such a great showman with such a great personality. Eddie Van Halen is truly one of the great all-time music artists and it's a privilege to witness his artistry.
The scary thing about Eddie is he's unique in that he doesn't depend on an array of electronic pedals to create his sound. When he was a kid and learning, his family didn't have much money, they were poor, so he couldn't afford effects, stomp boxes, phase shifter, delay, wah-wah pedal, etc.. So, he learned how to create the sounds he wanted just with the guitar and amp. Eddie is the master of pinch harmonics, the best there is. He can get all kinds of sounds just from one string and a pick and his fingers. There are numerous spectacular guitar players, but nobody is in this league, except Eddie.
Dude they weren't that poor. I'm a Cali kid myself and if your family can afford music lessons and live in Pasadena? You got it made as far as Californians are concerned.
@@djft6944 Cali Kid here too. Born and raised in West LA. I used to do a lot of business in Pasadena in the mid-1970s, and I assure you that Pasadena had some poor, run-down neighborhoods, rough neighborhoods. I find Eddie's telling of it quite believable. If you want to argue, you'll have to take it up with him.
I should add that whether or not they were poor is irrelevant to the point I was making.
Sit Eddie down with his guitar, and a Marshall stack, plug his guitar directly into the amp, and watch what he can do with no effects chain at all. That was my point.
@@PhillipLandmeier lmfao what cross streets were rough in Pasadena in the 70s? hahaha! Shit west LA? You probably do think Pas was rough
@@PhillipLandmeier totally agree with you brother. 100%. It just always gets me when Pasadena is referenced as a poor or rough part of SoCal. Lived here my whole life. Didnt mean to shade your comment
LOL "I wish, I wish I had that kind of talent!" You and every aspiring guitarist on the planet has said the same thing. Even the haters say it "inside" their head. They would never admit it out loud. But they feel it inside. I think that gives new meaning to the "MeToo" movement! :)
Still can’t believe he’s gone , Rest In Peace Eddie
"He's summoning the guitar god."
My first thought was how can he summon himself?
👍. Lol
Just imagine, He did that every concert back then...the greatest of all time!
I was there that night, and luckily have a reminder of that night when ever this concert is shown. New Halen!!!!! RIP Mr. Van Halen.. you've changed a lot of people's perspective on playing instruments.
Cheers, mate
I was 10 feet from Eddy in 1978 watching him play. I can still see him in my head doing it. I still jam to VH after 40 years. R n R it'll never die.
Eddie is a genius and as important a guitarist as Jimi Hendrix, IMHO. I met him once and we drank a beer together (Fair Warning tour) and when we shook hands, I was taken by how big his mitts are!
The only other guitarist that I would say was as influential as Hendix and Eddie was probably Randy Rhoads because he was the one that started infusing classical with metal. I mean there are many others too but as spectacular as those two it would be Randy.
Randy was listening to Eddie. We were in high school when Randy hit the scene and we all could tell. Great, influential player though, tragic ending.
@@amberbalogach3001 no man you wrong
@@juliuslumbanraja6111 @James Mick Randy and Eddie were in the club circuits at the same time. Randy was with Quiet Riot before joining Ozzy. He honed his skills with Ozzy and used more of his classical training. He inspired guitarists like Malmsteen to take Eddie's playing to the next level. Eddie and Randy watched each other play and may have taken cues from each other but Randy was his own player. And that is just my OPINION. There are many articles that back it and put him right up there with Eddie as an inspirational player. I like both of them but prefer Randy and his playing style more because I feel it's more unique.
Van Halen's "Mean Street" from 1981 has a very cool groove and swagger to it, plus much epicness!.............whereas "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love" is an absolute banger from their 1978 debut. Have a go with either...they're awesome. Go with both and do a double-bubble, 2-for-the-price-of-one, Halen-fest. You know you want to
I second Mean Streets. Fair Warning is a criminally underrated album.
Outta love again
I think the intro to Mean Street is the coolest thing EVH has ever done (and that's saying A lot). The breakdown before the solo is also incredible. His best solo of all time, in my opinion, is the one he played on "Ice Cream Man."
@@johntrickey4188 "Outta Love" has a great solo. That solo is a great example of the guy's unbelievably cool phrasing and natural playing instinct.
Check Out Voodoo Queen, the original version of Mean Streets
Several of the riffs in Eruption are based off of Classical Bach pieces.
Hey Pink 😊
While this was filmed later in Van Halen's career, Eddie was seen as a genius when their 1st album came out. He laid the groundwork for many 80's guitarists and beyond. Not just rock, but jazz as well. A huge thumbs up !! 👍
Try all forms of music...even the country western boys were slippin some VH into their playing in the 80's-90's.
1978
Later in his career? Really? Google is your friend
Every once in a while, someone comes along who changes how guitar is played. There was Robert Johnson in the 1930s, Jimi Hendrix in the 60s, then Eddie Van Halen in the 70s. In this performance, you're hearing parts of solos from several Van Halen songs including "Eruption", "Meanstreets", "Catherdral", "Good Enough", and "Spanish Fly".
I was there man!! 14 years old!! Loved every minute of it!!! Man I wish I could go back!
you keep saying "he's having so much fun" and you ain't lying! That's arguably my favorite thing about this ICON. #RIPEVH
I can never seem to get enough of seeing new people react to this, haha!
"I guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it." - Marty McFly
You know when he kicks ito the riff that makes the hair stand up on the back of your head? Effin that, baby! Best ever.
RIP Eddie. ❤️ I, a good girl who loved Van Halen, skipped school for the first time ever in 10th grade to go with my friends and wait in line (cause that was the only way to do it at the time) for Van Halen tickets! As I recall, not only did we never sit down during the show, but we stood on our folding chair seats (on the floor) for the entire show. It was amazing. Whenever I hear Van Halen I feel like a kid. 😊
Seen them 26x over the years.. was at The Smithsonian interview...
Prayers for EVH ...
You just witnessed the BEST in his prime....
One of those rare videos that I CANNOT get enough. I just find new details in it every time!
You can't see this at a rock show today, those times are GONE forever!!!
I weep when i watch Eddie. He shows me everything i want to learn. And then he shows me how to play Guitar!!
So glad that there are kindred souls out there willing to look beyond their own nose to find
the good in our diversity. Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing you watching him.
Eddie is "the" guitar God!!
Bass is the word you were looking for. He was slapping it like a bass.
Eddie & the Electric guitar are synonymous. Eddie's passion for the 🎸 with the audience is as if they become one. It's spiritual.
FINALLY a reaction person who actually seems to know about music and honestly understands the magnitude of what she just saw. Well done.
Notice what you don't see?
15,000 fools with their phones up recording instead of fully experiencing it in the moment.
I'm glad I'm older and recorded all the great shows I've seen in my head.
I feel exactly the same 👍
Cause there were no phones
@@christopherdunn317 Really?
No shit.
Just lighters...times were great then weren't they?
DUH!!no fucking shit captain obvious!!!
So glad to see you witness a man who could silence a crowd by playing guitar. And when he started playing, it's called 316, the birthdate of his son
This solo was played in 1986, about 5 years before Wolgang was born, so Wolgang wasn't really the inspiration for that section of the solo. You're right, though, that when he ended up recording it on an album, he named it after his son's birthday.
I discovered Eddie in high school (1990) and not a day has gone by since that their music hasn't inspired me. His playing was the reason I picked up a guitar and still do so to this day. It's good to see someone this day in age seeing him for the 1st time and being as amazed as I was back then and continue to be.
Just joined. Eddie brought metal to the top back in the day. Glad MTV could use a legend like this to stay on the air after all these years
Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eddie Van Halen are the best I ever heard. When you watch them you are in awe. And you just watch the mastery.
It's all about Hendrix and Eddie, in my opinion. Countless, countless others but those two were the greatest innovators and influencers
Ramond William Thank you for including SRV because he truly was a VERY naturally gifted guitarist who had a commanding mastery of the instrument. The world suffered a mighty loss on August 27, 1990! And yes, I’m a huge Sir Edward fan.
Gilmour would have to be up there for me.
@@graysinclair6572 Yeah. Man we grew up watching the Greats. Listening to them now is like when they first came out onto the scene. Timeless music. And the reactions all the way across the board from different people, and how Amazed they are shows me that people still love good hard rockin music. Maybe inspire new artists to get back to how music should be like in the 80's and 90's before grunge came and ruined it all.
Ramond William two of my favorites along with Hendrix and I have to include Page. Who ever would have thought of playing your guitar with a violin bow before him?
this blew the minds of a whole generation!
I was in high school in that generation. Yes! It blew our minds. Our jaws hit the floor. We had heard nothing like it before. It was almost like it was from another planet.
And will blow the minds of the next generation, and likely the generation after that. 😎
Correction...generations
Have seen him do that live 3 times and seen videos of it about 500 times. And I never tire of it. He is off the charts amazing.
She is right, its like he's summoning the guitar gods. And they think he is amazing too.
I could watch him a million times over and it will still feel like the first time. He was and still is the master of the guitar 🎸 even though he is gone now. I still can't believe he is. R.I.P EVH
Eddie modified his own guitar, basically making his own AXE. Then when he started to play it they had to figure out how to write the notes he was playing. He changed the way they wrote the music. No One can touch Eddie for innovation. He is the INNOVATOR.
💯
I can only imagine the jam sessions to write new songs. After hearing lyrics then eddie say ok, listen to this. Or listen to this and then lyrics written to fit it. Thats what we need to see some of these jam sessions.
Fantastic reaction, Pink! Can't believe it's over thirty years since I first saw this. I remember watching it with my old man, now long gone. He wasn't for rock guitarists much but even he had to admit the genius of EVH. God bless him and you too!.
Eddie VanHalen.....THE BEST RocknRoll electric guitarist ever!!! A true legend in our life time! Rock on Eddie. 🤟
People from 50s 60s 70s were bread to be rockstars at its finest
Can you just imagine being in that audience and get to tell your grandkids,
"I saw Eddy Van Halen in concert."
I can because I did, and they were amazing
@@kaidenorgana5151 Jealous! LOL . . . And I missed an opportunity to see Hendrix at Woodstock 🎹🎸🎧🎶
king Edward....the master of ten fingers and six strings
I dig how much this young lady was into it. I wish more from the younger generations would give it a good listen and hopefully have an appreciation for it.
I was fortunate to meet Eddie at a bar during their 5150 tour. What a nice guy to let me sit and talk with him. He was enjoying a big Bloody Mary 👍🏼
No Eddie wasn’t summing the guitar Gods. He is one of the the guitar Gods.
When Eddie first got started he would play the guitar with his back to the audience afraid other guitarists would copy him. No one can copy Edward Van Halen, let alone freestyle and innovate the way he does!
Now you see why Van Halen fans love Van Halen! My favorite albums are Diver Down with David Lee Roth on lead vocals, and then 5150 with Sammy on lead vocals for the first time!
That man is never more happy than playing a solo for a crowd
My gosh, you're a beautiful young lady! Thanks for a great react.
The Great Eddie Van Halen in his electric prime. Guitar builder, fastest guitarist / nicest guy ... in the world. Rest in Peace ...
Got his MC Hammer pants on and having fun.
it is called hammer ons and hammer offs, double tapping.
When I was 14 Van Halen 1 came out. NOTHING like this had been heard befor. He literally changed the way a guitar was played. Glad to see you find this, I show this to a lot of younger folks and they always react the way you did, jaw dropped open and stunned 😳
This was probably the greatest live solo demo whatever captured on video.
I absolutely agree!
Honey...he isn’t summoning the gods....he is the god.
Best comment EVER!!!!
the opening riff is from their song "316"
You beat me to it dagnabbit!
u should have seen how frantically i typed it tryin to be the first.
The opening riff became "316" five years later. I saw them at the Cow Palace in November 1986 and remember how incredible it was that the crowd went from a loud roar to complete silence as soon as he started playing this piece.
Jeff Brewer - Yep. This man knows. 🤘😎🤘
Seen him since 81 every year .unreal a must for bucket list
He was a trendsetter. He brought together classical and jazz elements. Like Chuck Berry , and Jimi Hendrix he changed the sound of rock guitar and you can always tell it's him playing. He was the next step in the evolution of rock and roll.
E.V.H kills it, and I imagine playing with his brother increases the joy he gets from killing it....🤘🤘
Awe.....I used to stand up front, Ed's legs hanging off the stage, shit eating grin on his face.....those were the days.
The magic hands that made Beat It into what it was.
I graduated high school in 1976. Was on my way to the beach with a friend one day and Runnin’ with the devil came on the radio. When the song ended the guy said it was a new band called Van Halen. We immediately went to the record store and purchased the album and cassette. Listened to nothing else for months.
Eddie just "Me Too'ed" that guitar something fierce......
Tragic Deyz Haha!
Ed's still the greatest. 5150 till death (Eddie knows)... Great vid!
Not too sure how each one rates against each other but I am SO honored to grow up listening to the guitar greats of Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani and Stevie Ray Vaughn.... there has been NOTHING like them since! Long live guitar rock! Bring back the guitar talent! There is NOTHING like it!
Great reaction 👏! Eddie grew up with classical music, hence the part where the picture goes blue and he makes the guitar sound like a violin and a cello. It insane. And Eddie didn't invent tapping but he mastered it. There's a few others. Jimmy Hendrix, sadly gone too soon and Stevie Ray Vaughan, probably the best blue's guitarist ever. Even Randy Rhodes was amazing, but you just watched the greatest Rock and Roll guitar player that's ever lived! RIP Eddie ❤ They'll never be another.
He has built on what Hendrix did first. Hendrix was one of the main pioneers of whammy bar dive bombs, controlled feedback and use of octaves. EVH has built on that and taken it to the next level. 😀
true that
I think Robert Downey Jr said and I quote “he took the music of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page and somehow made it.....even MORE electric”
He never mentioned Hendrix he always said he learned through Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page.
@@Dakahrii Yeah.....but he has obviously borrowed heavily from Hendrix. I've no doubt he learned from Clapton and Page too.
The greats all played around with feedback. Jimi Hendrix was the first and bring it into popularity. Other than that That's the only similarity to me. Eddie had his own style and personality.
Great reaction! You should also react to You Really Got Me (a Kinks cover) and Jump by Van Halen when David Lee Roth was the lead singer...
That thing he does with the volume knob, making it sound like a violin... inspired and insane
Exactly one ...he's the one now upstairs in Van Halen village in heaven! Rip Edward Van Halen!
May his soul rest in peace.
He and his brother (and his parents - father from the Netherlands, mother an 'Indo', someone of European-Indonesian descent in the former Netherlands East Indies) had to endure racism twice: in the Netherlands and then also in California, at a time when schools were still segregated, and he and his brother were bullied by white kids, whereas black kids helped the newcomers who did not speak English yet -->
www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/eddie-van-halen-endured-horrifying-racist-environment-becoming-rock-legend-n1242663
As a result, the Van Halen brothers were also role models for Asian American kids, whereas others wished they had known earlier --> coconuts.co/jakarta/lifestyle/eddie-van-halens-indonesian-roots-inspire-asian-pride-as-tributes-pour-in/
Even as a younger man, I always thought Alex looked a bit...Asian. Now that I know the story, I understand why I thought that. Their story is one of overcoming extreme hardships as kids, in a loving, music-filled family home, that helped, and even motivated, the two brothers to pursue music as their life's passions.
Greatness - His Brother Alex Van Halen on Drums
When their first album came out, I heard Eruption on the radio, and I was like "Well,,, I better start practicing more!"
I absolutely love your reaction to this man I've been in bands for 35 years and it took me a solid year to learn how to play eruption but once I got it would I used to tear it up at every show and people used to love to hear it but it is awesome I just truly awesome keep on rocking lady
He was so drunk he played this off muscle memory alone, in an interview it was said that he actually could not remember even playing this
gaz rosenau this is arguably one of his best live solos and have a hard time believing he was that drunk at this performance in New Haven. I saw VH in 2004 in Spokane when Eddie was at his lowest point battling his alcoholism, and at that show he was ‘wasted’. It was sad, he fell on stage twice and barely got through his solo. At least in this video he hit everything perfect.
FarmerSteveO I was at that show!! Eddie was soooo wasted!! Lol
Only way to get where it needs to go. Happens over and over with bands and or people.
Such a beautiful lady!
Thank you!
Can you react to Dreamer by Ozzy sometime? Ty
@@PinkMetalHead you are a very beautiful woman i love expressions and your comments were awesome
"Summoning the guitar gods". 🎸 Brilliant!
Of course, he's with them now, up there, somewhere.
Eddie says- Listen to what is in my head. Picking up the music of the spheres like a radio receiver.
Eddie evolutionized the electric guitar without him today's music and all that was created in between would not be what it has become.
Yeah but today's music is shit.
Eddie was a revolution. Before him no one played like that, after him everybody played like Van Halen
You have a very open, warm energy, Ms. PinkMetalHead. The way you connect with music is quite lovely. :
Young lady, you are witnessing the brilliance of a legend - the man who singlehandedly altered the course of rock guitar. Her expression was exactly the same as anyone who has seen Eddie live - wide-eyed with mouth open in awe. RIP Legend. You are greatly missed.
