- When you speak of great guitarists like Jimmy Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carlos Santana, and B.B.King you can’t forget to mention Eddie Van Halen. Great guitarists have signature styles and Van Halen popularized the tapping guitar solo technique, which Van Halen displayed during his legendary guitar solos at live concerts. Additionally, Van Halen's instrumental solo “Eruption” is a must-hear for all rock and music fans, and it's considered one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. But besides his virtuoso guitar solos and undeniable natural talent what else is there to know about Eddie Van Halen? His life and career have been in the public spotlight for decades, but there are facts about Van Halen that his fans may not know about.

We lost one of the greatest guitarists of all time. RIP, Eddie.
Never to be replaced. Ever

Pug Tech Tips English please. Speak English
he's jamming with Randy Rhoads now,,,,,
I am slightly autistic and don't generally like/listen to any music. When songs of my teens are played I listen, and Eddie was special - somewhere between emotional and admiration of his technical ability is what I appreciated. The only arena concert I've been too was New Haven for OU812. RIP EVH.
Eddie is not dead, he's jamming in heaven, always with a smile on his face.
He did have a smile on his face all the time
With Jimi Hendrix, Prince.....
I'm pretty sure Eddie has had enough of music... He didn't even listen to music anymore... There are no celebrities in heaven... Time to chill.

Eddies Dad was born in the Netherlands. Yes. But he was Dutch/Indonesian.
My in-laws were friends with the Van Halen family. They played often at Avio a Dutch club in Anaheim.
My Wife is the same mix Dutch/Indonesian. And Eddie loved Indonesian food. I’ve never met them but I’m so sad to hear he passed.
I’m a year younger and knew of Van Halen and enjoyed them for most of my life. I’d like to personally say also Alex is an outstanding drummer also. I hope he’s recognized more for it.
Eddie and Alex were also born in the Netherlands.
I remember reading years ago in a guitar rag that the only word Eddie knew was "yes" upon arriving here. I believe he was around 9yrs old.
OnTheFritz602 I’m sure that’s true. My Wife came here at 7. None of them spoke English. She learned English initially watching believe it or not The Beverly Hill Billies and Green Acres. Her Dad and Mom grew up in Indonesia. Left to go to the Netherlands then The US.
Her Mom is 88 and still prefers Dutch. I speak a little at least. I’m certain Eddie and Alex spoke in Dutch for privacy in certain circumstances. My Wife is still fluent.
@@OnTheFritz602 Sorry man but the only word that they knew was "Accident". I know that because I have a documentary on Van Halen.

Smokey Bear And you lived close to Avio.
I'm 54 and my love for Van Halen has never ceased. My condolences to Eddie's family. As I continue to learn the guitar and have many great players that I look up to, Eddie is by far my favorite. RIP EVH.

There will never be another Edward Van Halen. Heck, there will never be anyone close.
Never another even close :( RIP EVH
SRV is i say „close“.
@WheelsAlwaysTurning But Hendrix was not such a skilled Guitarist, he had his own style, that made him Unique. Even back then they were better Guitarists.
@@domi7007 I agree 100%. I never got the fascination with Hendrix. He's ok, but EVH compared to Hendrix... Com'on Man! Sorry but EVH is way better in every way, from playing to stage work etc. EVH had a 40 year long career, during which he was mostly adored worldwide.
@@bigbaddms I even like the style of Hendrix more, its just more Unique, and it sound just better for me. But everyone has there own Opinion!
Who else is still just in TOTAL disbelief. It just doesn't seem real. The world without Eddie is a lot less sunny. 😭💔
I said the same thing. :°(
skepchica - It seems to be getting harder as the days go on and as the truth “sets in.” I think a lot of us were “shocked and sad,” but now the real “mourning” process is beginning. I feel so bad for his son, Alex, and all those who are really close to him. Getting past the initial stages of love loss is the hardest part of life. 💔
Being he was my childhood idol, its very hard to think of a world without him in it. Still remember where I was when I heard Eruption for the first time. Fair Warning is and always will be my favorite record
There will never be another Edward Van Halen. Heck, there will never be anyone close.
@Chris Manzi True
Nobody will ever play like Eddie or write songs like him. A sad time in rock history. 🎸 Rest in peace Eddie
@Kenneth Di Leo+ That's why he'll always be one of the greatest guitarist of all time!! Only the greatest can be copied, not give birth to a Greatest Guitarist, It comes naturally. IMOH

We're all getting old. This made me sad. RIP brother.
Yup. Gawsh. It sucks.
I still can't believe it...☹️
Well a life of chain smoking, heavy drinking, drug addiction etc. will get anyone a LOT older than others. It was more about severe abuse of his body than age that he died from.
Rage Theatre2020 I just wanna die at 25 lol
Rage Theatre2020 it depends on how fulfilling life is. For me there’s nothing here for me. I’m ready to go. I wake up every morning like not this again oh well. For me the sooner I die the better. Though in my time I’m here I like to help as many people as I can.
One of the GREATEST MUSICIANS EVER. R.I.P EDDIE
Few people have an affect on the world as a whole in their lifetime. Robin Williams was one of those people. Eddie Van Halen is another. May they both find peace knowing that they will long resonate with the generations that they've influenced and those that are yet to come.
It seems like only yesterday Van Halen, Rush, Bowie, Prince, MJ, etc exploded on the world stage ... Life is so short. We've lost the most incredible talents of all time in the last few years ..
R.I.P. Eddie. You were one of the greatest of all time. I can't imagine what the world would be like if you hadn't come along. Thanks for everything.
Of all time?? That's pretty disrespectful considering the company he was in. Gallagher, Clapton, Terry Kath, Randy Rhodes, Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen....the list is endless. Its not a sport so there's no scorekeeping.
@@howiseait8595 You forgot the part where I said "one of". Lots of greats for sure.

Hello, what a lovely songs we gonna miss.
How are you enjoying yourself over there??
Too much partying will eventually take a toll. That's how most Musicians go.
@@garychambers5850Most drug use comes from childhood trauma. They turn to something to ease the pain they feel from being alive and being so hurt. 🙃
Edward was one of a kind and there will never be another like him. I am so lucky that i got to meet him a few years ago and spend some time laughing and joking with him. He will never be forgotten. Rest in peace our king.
Imagine being a guitar player in a band and your listening to the radio and you hear this brand new band called VanHalen play on the radio for the first time.
That was me, it was like the floor fell out from under me. Here I was thinking I’m a pretty good guitar player. Then I hear Eddie doing eruption on the radio.That was the moment I realized better keep my job.
R I P Eddie , There was Jimi Hendrix, then there was Eddie VanHalen. No one else ever turned a new leaf like those 2 guys!
Don't forget Stevie Ray Vaughn. 😢🙏
@Jack Wells Ozzie has never gotten over Randy Rhodes' passing. He was a fabulously awesome guitarist, musician as well.
@@evamccray6500 If you can't even be nice to EVH's family, God help you! You have NO EMPATHY! Why are you even bothering to comment your negative crap????

RIP Eddie. 🎸🎵❤️
Rest In Peace Eddie Van Halen ❤️❤️❤️❤️
True legend! I was 10 years old in 79 & this guy was doing things on the guitar that most can’t do today. Fair Warning i think was his masterpiece. RIP EVH!!
If you grew up in the late 70’s and 80’s, part of you died too.
Yes it did 🙍😭🎸😇. 80s ruled!
That’s the truth.
Damn rights!
I'm a millenial and I feel broken also
Naw. As long as I live and you live it there .
I close my eyes .. that part of my life and sounds and Eddie is kicking so alive and well .
PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY. GOD BLESS YOU EDDIE VAN HALEN. YOU WERE A TRUE LEGEND. ALL THE MUSIC YOU PLAYED IN WILL LIVE ON.
Stop yelling 🙄
R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen we will miss you
For real
You're gone from us so soon, but not forgotten. Rest In Peace Eddie, we love you and miss you truly.
VH is probably one of the best bands ever. Heavy, soft, covers, fun, commercial, rock....they did it all!!
Well, Ed buried his black and yellow Bumblebee Charvel guitar with Dimebag Darryl of Pantera, now he'll get to jam with him with that guitar.

Nah
There are time when it's best to keep your obnoxious cake-hole shut. This is one of those times idiot.
@@paradigmsend8007 - maybe it will be an unexpected way to go; perhaps Eddie will be able to jam, but there's no electricity in heaven - so he might rock out on a banjo, shredding on the Pogue's classic, "Let's Get Drunk and Vomit." Nobody knows what goes on after we die, and so we might as well speculate....
@Roberto Munoz shut yo ass up
Rip Eddie van halen
RIP Gone but not forgotten !!!! Loved & Missed like crazy!!!!
Hello, what a lovely songs we gonna miss. How are you enjoying yourself
Magnificent guitar player humble man as well...Rest In Peace Eddie Van Halen God Bless your Soul!
Eddie died on my birthday last week, he was two years older than me. He was standing next to me at the bar in the Bacchanal in San Diego in 1978 watching our hero Allan Holdsworth, who greatly influenced his playing style. After one of Allan's amazing solos, Eddie and I looked at each other with our mouths hanging open in shock at what we had just heard. Rip Allan Holdsworth, and Rip Eddie Van Halen, two guitar Gods we were lucky to have.
Great story, great venue at the Bacchanal.
Eddie, you have made so many people happy we will never forget your mark on music. RIP Eddie.
IM IN TEARS HE WAS MY IDLE R.I.P YOU'LL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED ROCK ON MAN SAY HI TO HENDRIX

I grew up listening to Van Halen and Eddie’s death gutted me. Happy that he inspired countless to pick up the guitar. RIP EVH....
Rest in peace, Eddie. You were one of my reasons for learning guitar in the first place. I love you, man. I'll be seein' ya in Heaven someday.. I bet you're having a beautiful time enjoying the company of ALL the musical greats who have also passed on, and making some 'heavenly' bad ass music! I wish I had seen you live, though... It breaks my heart that as long as I am alive, I will not be able to hear you play a live show again... :'(

There have been many a guitar masters and virtuosos, but what set Eddie Van Halen apart from the rest of the guitar gods was his incredible innovative abilities. He wasn’t just a guitar genius, he was a guitar revolutionary. His visionary insights and innovative techniques truly transformed the way the rock guitar is played. He will forever be remembered as a guitar immortal. ROCK IN PEACE.
I’ve thought about him a lot since the news. One of those people that when they leave, there’s just a hole that can’t be filled.
@Stork Legs You're right, but who gives a shit about them?
I was driving home from work in my funky Plymouth Belvedere with AM radio and all of a sudden here's this Kinks remake of you really got me and it sounds 10 times better and I says to my self whoever that is they are going to set R&R on it's ear cause that band rocks like no other at that time
I'll always love those cats and Eddie a part of you can't be dead cause you touched a lot of folks and a little of you lives on in them
Rock in Peace homeboy!!

The guitar was a part of him it lived and breathed with him🌹an awesome talent 😢RIP🌹🦋
guitar was an extension of his hands, arms, body, mind n soul.....r.i.p.
@@driver4011 the same with Dimebag Darrell. He and EVH are my all time favorite guitar players. Period..
I've met Ed about three times or so . He was such a great dad for his son .... Very nice guy . We've lost a great musician... R.I.P. Ed ...this time, we will take over heaven for the show ! See you over at other side .
I had a poster of him on my wall in the late 80's, with his Frankenstrat, and I put it next to my bed so I could look at him every night and every morning. I was the biggest fangirly of EVH. RIP Eddie. Thanks for the rockin tunes.
You failed to mention that Valerie Bertinelli was at his bedside too.There was always a part of me that thought"No matter who Eddie is married to when he dies someday,if Valerie is still alive she will be there because I don't think they ever stopped truly loving each other they just couldn't live with each other".She always seemed like a really sweet,nice person.I'll bet you Eddie would have even agreed.
Correct. They both loved each other, but they just couldn't remain married to each other. They remained good friends and it worked out for them, and especially since they have their son Wolfgang together. Valerie said herself that they'll always love each other even though their marriage didn't work out. Rip Eddie.
EVH FOR LIFE.
i saw Van Halen in 1982 Diver Down tour. I still remember Eddie in a white tuxedo and Roth doing backflips and gymnastics to amaze. he was my inspiration to start learning to play guitar that year, i even made my own frankenguitar.
So nice
Innovator!!!!! How amazing that must be, out of millions of people on this planet, he is ONE of ONE!!!
You really got me! From day one I have been running with the devil! I was hot for teacher, jumped a lot, but wasn’t talking bout love until I got to know when it’s love. I had my first Eruption with a pretty woman when love walked in. I was a runaround and followed her drop dead legs to Panama. She called me her little dreamer, cause I wanted the best of both worlds. I told her I was a man on a mission, asking her why can’t this be love. I felt like on top of the world, but she was no good. So I went home for Poundcake. And I know ya gotta finish what ya started. So I’ll stop here cause Jamie’s cryin! Right now. I Unfortunately I never made it to a concert.
Thank you, Van Halen,
and RIP, Eddie. \m/
What a tribute ... that took a lot of thought to write . I love it . RIP Eddie 😢
eh , pretty cool
Cool tribute
I have seen them 3 times
Saw Van Halen in Toronto in 1995. The best concert I’ve ever scene! It’s on RUclips. It was like I was in the studio with those guys! Thoughts with his family. 😢
He had such a twinkle in his eyes & that smile. Great guitar player. Such an awesome guy. He will be missed😭 4ever Cindy.
He had an infectious smile...looked like a good guy as well as a HELLUVA guitarist...
Rock on Eddie! I look forward to hearing your new songs someday.
His passing really hurt my heart.
I grew up with Van Halen my high school years were a lot fun, thanks again Eddie and Van Halen for the music and the memories
Irreplaceable...R.i.p Mr EVH you gave us so much and will never be forgotten
R.I.P Eddie Van Halen he will always be in my heart. His music will live on forever. He done the greatest guitar solo ever and done the riff for Beat it in just two takes. What a legend man. Such a shame he had to leave us.
I can imagine that Eddie, Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhoades, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Prince and Chuck Berry are having hell of a jam session right now.
RIP Eddie Van Halen
...Zappa, Holdsworth, Gallagher, etc.
With Neil Peart on drums
Maybe John Bonham instead
Rest in peace Eddie we know the world knows we will never have another like you, You will solely be missed,♥️😭🙏
Eddie Van Halen was one of the greatest musician that ever lived. He certainly will be missed. RIP Eddie
Let's not forget: Eddie did not invent the finger-tapping, but he greatly popularized it to a new generation of guitarists. But he remains a household name in the world of guitar and will live to do so. Thank you for all the fabulous music, Eddie.
True... Django Reinhardt, Steve Hackett to name a few who were tapping. What made tapping easier was modern high gain amps and pickups.
@@dbmxerinca yup.
@@dbmxerinca When Eddie introduced his highly developed "tapping" technique to the masses, modern high gain amps had yet to be created (and he said he never used distortion or OD pedals). As for pickups, Eddie chose to use his self-modified PAFs over the few hot pickups that existed at the time (i.e. Super Distortion or JB). Also, EVH didn't need any kind of amp or pickup to make tapping easier for himself, and this is obvious on "Spanish Fly."
Gone too soon, I’m absolutely devastated over his passing, he’s one of the best guitarists I ever heard and made me pick up the guitar. I’m sure he’s jamming with Moon and Entwistle and enjoying seeing his Dad again. R.I.P. Eddie.
You don't jam in heaven. Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven
There is the word I was looking for. Devastated . I thought 2020 was gonna be my year, the best year !
My biggest crush since the first time I saw them open for Black Sabbath in Atlanta in 1978, blew them away ! R.I.P. my friend !
I remember him sooo well!! Van Halen's song "JUMP" was my VERY FIRST BATON TWIRLING SONG with our High School Twirling Squad back in 1984. We ALL LOVED that song, it will Always be remembered, and Eddie will be REMEMBERED As FONDLY in my HEART and SOUL for inspiring our groups Very First Performance EVER!! I LOVE YOU EDDIE!! YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER IN MY HEART AND SOUL, and you will always be Visiting me in my dreams, so I can TALK to you!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
Back in 1978, I was lucky enough to attend a concert at the Chicago Stadium. The feature band was Black Sabath and the opening band was Van Halen. That was the best concert I ever attended and Van Halen was by far much better than Black Sabath. BTW, the ticket price was $5.00
That five dollar ticket would be $500 easy now
Saw the same tour in Milwaukee WI. Van Halen blew away BS!!!
First there was Hendrix then came Eddie. RIP Eddie
You have pretty awful spelling skills for 26.

He was so fascinating to watch play his Frankenstein! Loved Eddie for his charm, his stage presence, his sweet smile, and above all his gift as a musician. So sad what he went through and how greatly he'll be missed!
RIP Eddie Van Halen.🎸🎵💐😑
A few thoughts… Eddie was one of the greatest guitarist of all time and his solo on eruption literally changed the way music was played and created a generation of guitarist who mimicked his style of play. Don’t take my word for it take John Kovach director of the Rochester Institute of music and a professor of music at RIT. He stated about eruption one minute and 40 seconds that changed music forever. Sure Eddie had his vices and problems like all of us but being a public figure he is were widely publicized battles with cocaine heroin and alcohol. He built his own guitars to create his own sound and holds three Patents; He created the Frankenstat A cross between a stratacaster and a Gibson and holds the patent for the peghead, One for a hands-free device that allowed playing guitar with no hands and one for a string instrument With adjustable string tension control all of which allowed the guitar to create sounds never heard before and changed music forever. I grew up on Van Halen and was in high school when they were released their self titled debut album. Their music not only followed me throughout my youth but influenced me heavily in a positive way and he is certainly an icon of the music industry and a guitarist. When he was inducted into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame in 2007 here’s peers ranked him number four on the top 100 guitarist of all time. I think that pretty much says it all and refute all of the petty negative comments written here. RIP Eddie you will be sorely missed and it takes me back to the passing of Tom Petty to legends of rock ‘n’ roll who were certainly jamming together in heaven now… How I would love to hear that jam session
Long live rock and roll 🎸:: Love you Eddie: You will never be forgotten:::
What a legend, RIP EVH - there will never be another like him. Since Diver Down I was hooked
You also forgot to mention; his ex-wife Valerie was also at his bedside when he passed. Which I thought was nice too.

I saw them live at wing Stadium in Kalamazoo Michigan in1980 and the place was electrified with their talent. I never forgot that concert after all these years. You never think you’re going to grow old someday and start losing all the people around you and now I find myself living more and more in the past so I don’t forget what I’ve lost...
I know what you mean when famous people you grew up with and have spent your whole life with pass away. It sorta feels like part of you died too and you can't relate to younger people anymore. You used to have to be extremely talented and very very good to become famous. That's not always the case anymore, probably less than more. Looks seem to make more of a influence than they did in the past. For that reason alone you probably won't get to see greatness like that again. Joe Bonamassa and Kenny Wayne Shepherd are 43 and will turn 44 this year. They are the last of the guitar heroes and even they aren't young anymore.
How old were you in 1980, about 18? So you would be about 58 now? Every year I can feel my body saying "I am going to die someday" and I reply "oh nooooo" bwa ha ha "life's a bitch...and then you die"
Let me fix the title, “What true Van Halen fans knew about Eddie”
Yes!
@Zack hummel Ed told a story about how he was at an airport where Beat It was playing on the overhead speakers and these 2 teens were standing in front of him talking about the currently playing solo saying "that guy's trying to sound like Eddie Van Halen" and Ed tapped em on the shoulder saying "that IS me"
RIP Eddie.
Yeah' I already knew all that.
Valerie was there at his last moments

@@adamr8321 LMAO!! RIP!
If only Hendrix did not join the "27 club" and lived long enough to have met Eddie VH in a studio. hmmmm.?! Hopefully, they met on the other side by now. Wishful thinking admittedly. Peace!
You got one thing wrong: EVH did not "devise" two-handed fretboard tapping, it was around long before EVH. Contemporary guitarists that predated EVH like Steve Lynch, Harvey Mandel, and Steve Hackett used this technique--just listen to Hackett's tapping on "The Musical Box" by Genesis. EVH just refined and popularized it for the rock genre.
R.I.P VAN HALEN GREATEST GUITARIST EVER🎸 WILL NEVER EVER BE FORGOTTEN ALWAYS THE #1 INFLUENCE 😢😞🙏🙏🙏🙏

It seems that Eddie's death has gone viral, he deserves the love, probably THE greatest guitarist of all time!

Ok, A brass and copper pick isn't going to cause cancer, but cigs sure will. Years of booze & other drugs don't exactly slow the process down.
And if recording studios caused cancer, we'd have quite a few recording engineers dropping like flies.
C'mon, Ed. It was the coffin nails, my friend.
I still remember buying the very first Van Halen album when it came out. I brought it over to a friend's house and a bunch of them went... holy f**k!
Eddie had tremendous skill and talent, but I lean more towards blues, jazz and rock with more soul/ feeling than a shredding sound. I was into Aerosmith heavily around the time Van Halen debuted... and Hendrix/ Jeff Beck... etc.
Still, gotta give him nothing but props for inspiring thousands of guys to pick up an ax and jam their little hearts out.
RIP, Sir. 🖒🎸🎶
I really liked Aerosmith until I watch videos. The super talented lead singer looks like something out of hell. So now I don't like Aerosmith.
The greatest guitar play of all times and is going to be very missed and inspired a lot of guitarist he will never be duplicated he is and always will be the guitar god forever. RIP eddy Van Halen
I was lucky enough to be in Eddie's life in 1980-81 while dating Alex that year. Many double dates and even attending Ed and Val's wedding on Alex' arm. My name then Valerie Maddox. Yes, another Valerie

We lost one of the great ones, rest in peace Eddie, God bless you and your family......
Edward van Halen you were an amazing wiz of a guitar player; an innovator. In 1980 I introduced the VH album to my friends in my little Portuguese village. I purchased it in NYC and brought it over. The 1st time they heard Eruption, we knew you wud make history... & u did. May u rock the angels up above and then RIP.
