You can just see how happy it made him to play like that for everyone. For 13 minutes he was in his own world with no one else around him. Gonna miss you Eddie. Rock will not be the same without you playing.
You know I adore this guitar Solo but it made me think how much more people appreciate guitar solos than drum solos, the drummers never get the recognition guitarists do. That crap is a workout
Thing is, a guitarist can do the most craziest shit and peeps will still go wild whereas soon as a drum solo starts most people aren't interested. I think Moby Dick is my favourite drum solo of all time. B O N Z O !!
So unique. I could tell it was him on the 2nd note. There will never be another. I remember cruising the El Camino in my best friend's Mustang going to Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors and this came on and we couldn't get out of the car. We just sat there and stared. It was overwhelming.
This man has always been my favorite guitarist and is a f***ing legend. Cleanest, fastest, most amazing f***ing guitar solo I've ever heard in my life. Rest in peace, Eddie!
Remember like yesterday when I started playing guitar and a magazine talked about Eruption...so I downloaded this live version and was amazed hearing this for the first time. Mind was overwhelmed! This has been my favourite Van Halen performance ever since.
Hendrix the trail blazer then came along Eddie ❤️ man he re-writes whilst tearing up the rule book. Eddie will never be matched nor is it humanly possible. What a legacy
R.I.P. Eddie - you may not have invented tapping, but you made it an art form. Simply the best all-around rock guitarist.
❤️❤️❤️
I thought he did invent it?
He is one of my heroes, not 'cause of the tapping but because of his power, feel and timing. And of course, his technique is marvellous..
He never he claimed he invented tapping. Him and Alex saw Zeppelin live and Eddie saw Jimmy Page do a one hand tapping. The rest is history!
They changed how guitar was written on paper because of Eddie. They didnt do that for anyone else who was "tapping."
RIP Eddie Van Halen. We will always adore and admire you.
My mom actually cried when she heard...
@@robertandrew5328 im crying and im a dude
I’m sorry, I couldn’t believe your post... I’m shattered
Eddie is such a master, he could have probably played it without strings... and it would still sound good! 🎸
Facts
😆 that would sound funny without strings... 😅
@@ArtGuitarLTX 😁Actually, that wouldn't sound! 😉
@@rickshearer That's why it would sound better without strings, duh.
Gotta tap the whammy bar on the pickups
You can just see how happy it made him to play like that for everyone. For 13 minutes he was in his own world with no one else around him. Gonna miss you Eddie. Rock will not be the same without you playing.
How could anybody thumb down Eddie vanhalen by the far the greatest of all time I cried when I have loved him a great guitarist
The video is two minutes long.
I’m crying watching this. So sad. Rest easy, Ed. No more pain.
I read that as no more porn lol
I cried but because it was terrible and I'm glad we don't have to hear this anymore. Such a bad solo from a mediocre player.

@@dedgzus6808 You better be kidding me dood
@@dedgzus6808 "mediocre" is what describes your existence in this world --- EVH was certainly not that
Rest in peace brother. I guess god wanted a live performance instead of having to buy your albums

lol he was a goated guitarist
Rip.. You'll be missed.. ❤️💔😥
Marco Pietraperzia I just found out ten minutes ago 😢
Damn! Another legend is gone! Rest in Peace Eddie!
Who died? What legend? I know this guy is dead but who's the legend that died?

Truly a sad day in the rock world. Sad you're gone but blessed with all the awesome music and innovation you left behind. RIP.

Eruption is the GOAT of rock guitar solos, and always will be.

The true guitar god!!!
Nobody...will ever shred it as hard... RIP Eddie van Halen
Guh it's so clean
There's a 'smoke' on the upper guitar neck near the end frets--ha,ha,ha,haah!
Oh lordy, the good old days!
1:30 he's enjoying it too much
He’s in the moment there’s no turning back now
RIP to the goat.
Fantastic solutions for the community
First time I heard eruption, I was hooked on rock. Eddie, you are the best!!! RIP my friend. Just rest.
The best live version of ERUPTION hands down
You know I adore this guitar Solo but it made me think how much more people appreciate guitar solos than drum solos, the drummers never get the recognition guitarists do. That crap is a workout
I prefer a good drum solo
Thing is, a guitarist can do the most craziest shit and peeps will still go wild whereas soon as a drum solo starts most people aren't interested. I think Moby Dick is my favourite drum solo of all time. B O N Z O !!
Alex Lifeson would argue this point.
Thanks for the memories, R.i.P. to the King of 10 fingers an 6 strings, God bless you Edward!!!
That was god like. Jesus banged his head to this.
RIP my friend it’s a sad day for rock, it wouldn’t have been the same without you man, you changed what was possible.
RIP Eddie.:(....
RIP Eddie. Your legacy will live in rock legends forever
Rest peace you legen, massive inspiration from the moment I saw this very clip the first time.. Youre already sorely missed.

Eddie was a fucking beast on guiarr.
The visuals and explosions of colors we all experienced first hearing Van Halen as kids... unreal.
Eddie showed the world what a guitar was capable of

Live at Tokyo is the best.
Heaven bound.
Miss ya Eddie ! Thanks for all the kick ass music! 🎸
I get introduced Van Halen exactly this era. Eddie's slick hairdos, his goatee. How I love Van Hagar when I was a kid
RIP Eddie :(
I used to have this video downloaded on Kazaa way back in the day and would watch it every day. So good
So unique.
I could tell it was him on the 2nd note.
There will never be another.
I remember cruising the El Camino in my best friend's Mustang going to Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors and this came on and we couldn't get out of the car. We just sat there and stared.
It was overwhelming.
I'm an old Blues fan, but Eddie and Jimi are the 2 most creative guitar players in history.
Just a succinct thank you. Legend of legends.
LoL, it’s incredible how people can get so good at something, all you can do is admire it … RIP brother…
RIP Master of 6 strings
He was truly amazing !! Glad I grew up in his Era!!
May he rest in peace now. The rock world will never be the same.
Great job
R.I.P Eddie Van Halen, you became a legend, thank you so much for all your music and for everything you gave us.
