October 6 ,2020. EVH has left the building, on the way to Rock and Roll Valhalla, where The Legend has been given the Crown of Guitar King. R.I.P. Eddie, thanks for letting us go along for the ride. It’s been a blast.
Huh?
nice comment
If you pay attention during the "violin" section you will see that he is not picking the strings but just controlling the volume knob and fingering on the neck... absolutely amazing!!!
It is the technically most impressive part. Imagine being 1/10 of a second of with the knob, that would add up in time and destroy every thing within seconds.
One of the greatest ever! That guitar is an extension of his body, and he finger taps like no one. He can make so many wild sounds come from that instrument. And I love how he's always got that sh!t eating grin while he's playing.
Yes ! I love that impish grin. Gonna miss him.

Hee hee I actually thought Marty McFly was an alien in that film. I still have nightmares to this day 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬
"I endorse this comment"
He would need 1.21 gigawatts to do that.
@@5Ring And a power source unknown to mankind measured only by lightning strikes!!!!
Rock and Roll lost a legend today. Rest In Peace Eddie.
EVH gives an interview where he actually said that he can't read a lick of music and he looks at his hands to remember where they need to be while he is playing.. He is a God!
I already saw your reaction. But today this legends was sent to the rock heaven. So i want to see it again.
R.I.P ~ Rock in Peace Eddie
Greatings from Germany
Reaction: They just sit in awe and appreciation of the master, as we all did.
I clicked on this so fast! I knew that Kel with her music background would pick up on the interesting things Eddie does. His technique? What technique?! Eddie was self taught and basically I can't even imagine classical guitar lessons encompassing his "techniques" before the rise of VH. He's Eddie Van Halen, he didn't need anyone else's techniques, he created his own! 😊 cool reation.
He was self taught on the guitar, but he was a classically trained pianist.
Created his own scales too
Right you are CREATED HIS OWN. Copied by millions NEVER DUPLICATED,the one and only EVH
He used odd, unorthodox chords too.
I was 10 in 1992 when my dad made me listen to it since then my life changed forever I'm a metalhead now lol
For the love of God this is not heavy metal this is rock and roll
Youssef Assem I was 11 years old when my brothers bought the first VH record in 1978. I was hooked.
@@jaimenoel162 Who said it was metal? They sure did influence one of the best metal rhythm sections of all time.
Love the flying V in the background
figured you for a goat herder.
One of the best concerts ever filmed. I still have the old VHS.
I have it too. Bought it many years later on DVD but they never remastered it so it still look like it was filmed on a potato. Must have seen the gig at least 150 times though.
Only One Way to Rock is a great opener!
I wore out my vhs copy back in the 80’s. I have it on dvd as well. I also still watch it on RUclips. This performance never gets old.
Had it, too. Always thought that the end of Cathedral in this solo, Eddie looked like Arnold Swarzenegger.. Watching that video was where I learned that Eddie played the finale of Eruption on the B string. I always played it on the G, but I have small hands, so it fit me better so I never changed. Same notes, so, WTF. I also have used the "pluck the vibrato bar springs from the back to induce feedback and enhance it by tapping the neck" thing to create the wind effect on my cover of Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs." I'm a guitar nerd that way.
Alex Lifeson, Lindsey Buckingham (uses no pic to play) there are so many more Jimi Handrix and The Edge from U2. But for my tastes I think David Gilmour is top banana.
When you stand alone in front of 60/70 thousand people on your own you have to have more than sweep picking an speed in your trick bag, Eddie Van Halen has to be the most entertaining exhilarating guitar ever !
The master of the tapping technique at his best! Great reaction, thank you!
Did you know Ed started out as a classically trained pianist?!?!?! Won many awards as a youth and switched to the wild side..drums...then him and Alex switched and history was made!!
TimH Metal some of the best started out classically trained. Randy Rhoads as well
@@michaelsuder3217 Yeah.....there's this cutie named Kel...... I want to see a guitar in her hand and see where it leads!!
TimH Metal get a grip on yourself...
@@michaelsuder3217 Not sure where your mind is but I fully comprehend my comments... With Kel's years of experience and mastery of the piano, she could be the next Stevie Vai on the electric guitar.
Cliff burton also starts with classical
I just wanna say I love watching the both of y'all and really enjoy your reaction videos. This video actually made me cry just remembering seeing them in concert and the great memories he and VH gave to my friends and I. RIP MR. EVH!!!! YOU ARE DEARLY AND TRULY MISSED!!!!
Great solo...still gives me goosebumps..I’m 47. Was there anyone cooler than Eddie back in the day..Nope.
As great as this solo is, there is a RUclips audio clip of his solo from the 1984 tour San Diego..OMFG. It is on a whole nother level. I would put it up against anyone, including Vai, Yngwie and Satch, terms of sheer technical proficiency variety and diversity. Licks that you never heard him play again.
The stuff he does with the volume knob is nothing short of amazing!! Eddie is major Bad ass!!
He's the best there is. I'm convinced
He has the most incredible smile in Rock and Roll.....RIP EVH!❤️
I went down a Van Halen reaction video rabbit hole. This was BY FAR the best I have seen. Thank you.
Kel-N-Rich,
on the song eruption you can hear classical influences like Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart in the playing.
It's badass and beautiful.
Yeah, you can see Kel nodding along like "Yep, recognize that."
NO!!!!!!
Really?
@Rob T - Fake news... Ed and Al both took piano lessons when Ed was 9-10 yrs old. They competed in the local Piano contests in the Pasadena area. Ed won several of these. Then his teacher realized that Ed could not read music and was playing by ear and by watching his teacher. Eddie was a child prodigy who developed into the best ears, composer, player, inventor and influencer, and Rock guitar Virtuoso/Guitar god. He was not playing concerts or an expert in music theory at 12. He is an excellent pianist/keyboardist now.
Rob T so you didn’t read his comment then
Where there's smoke, there's FIRE! That middle part with the "volume swells" technique sounding like a classical ELECTRIC violin is incredible.
Yup, "Cathedral" off the Diver Down album.
I was 18 when the 1st VH came out.
I got it as a HS grad present just b4 my grad ceramony 6-6-78. I listened to it all thru as l put on my grad dress.
Awesome! Great request and reaction! I have always loved this solo by EVH
Thanks for doing this one. Eddie is a legend.
It starts with "3:16" named for Wolfgang Van Halen's birthdate, then "Eruption," then "Cathedral," then the intro to "Mean Street", and ends with the ending of "Spanish Fly."
Source: Watched this video when it came out in 1987, learned the whole thing on the guitar, can still play most of it. I can't play "Cathedral" with the volume swells, but with the right digital delay, isn't to hard with your fingers. So there's that.
You ask how old i am. I'm 3 years younger than Eddie and I grew up with these guys in socal. Saw them play before they ever got a record contract or open for anyone and I was sold! I have mad respect for Jimmy and Stevie but you just watched the greatest Rock and Roll guitar player that's ever lived. RIP Eddie.
I was at this show in Hartford Connecticut. Seen him 3 times on this tour. San Diego, Los Angeles and Connecticut. The greatest guitarist of my generation, period!
EVH is a technical genius, I remember hearing this on live without a net on VHS in '86, and it still gives me chills 30+ years after
I can never get enough of watching Eddie play his heart out and having fun.you guys really treated yourself on this one,,theres so many different kinds of music today which eddie van Halen has inspired to be the musicians they are today, E,V,H,,...had set the path for up coming musicians, if you like classical music mixed with modern day rock try listening to trans-Siberian- orchestra especially when they mixed Beethoven classical with modern metal,, that was awesome, .Anyway thanks for sharing loved it
Blessed w/EARS , melodic spirit in his heart , & PRACTICED 24/7 ....he was an amp driver & the most tone perfect musician ever in my opinion
If only the world were filled with people just as wonderful as you.
I dont know about anybody else but I'm here for the camo shirt. Damn it girl!
Un Freakin Believable. The first time I saw him do that I could not take my eyes off of what he was doing. I was in such a trance!
Thanks for sharing............... :-) Take care you two!
I’m 49, and, I heard eruption when was 9 in 79 , and it totally blue me away..🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
The first time I ever heard the arpeggiating tap I thought for sure it was done on a synthesizer with a sequencer, sample and hold, or an arpeggiator. Eddie Van Halen is an original and that’s only part of what makes him among the best ever. 🎸
I saw an interview with Eddie back in the eighties where he said all he cared about was playing guitar. While his friends and all the other school kids would be at(and throwing)parties, he would find an empty room or bathroom and lock himself in it with his guitar, and practice while everyone else was partying. During the times he would be in the toilet, people would be pounding on the door trying to get in to take a leak....
Kind of shows is devotion to it, even back then. Not to mention it pretty much gives a hint as to how he got so great at playing....great story
Mozart, "I want to come back to earth and continue what I started."
Angel, "The instruments you knew have changed."
Mozart, "So what? It's music, and I'll just kill this!"
One of the BEST if not the BEST to ever pickup a guitar and grace us with his abilities, THANK YOU for all you gave us.
@Jay Davis NOBODY said he was dead,you ASSUMED that's what I was impling
This video, among some other of your vids, was my go-to fun almost everytime I had some beers 1-2-3 years ago. Now after a year pause I'm returning. Feels pleasantly surreal :)
Kel might get a kick out of the fact that Eddie Van Halen was a classically trained pianist. Probably why you heard a lot of classical sounds come out in his playing.
Actually he had small guitar lessons from a Spanish trained guitarist, I cant remember who. He barely took any of the lessons seriously but that explains the flamenco part of his playing.
True true....he couldn't read music, he played by ear on piano...won some awards as a kid. Built his own guitar....started as his brother Alex on guitar and Eddie on drums. They switched....and the rest is face melting history.
If you listen closely, you can hear a little Bach.
That's why Eddie was excited Sammy joined the band . He was great on guitar which allowed Eddie to play keyboard during live concerts.
what about the fact that Eddie was a drummer first and Alex(brother he drummer) got the guitar and eventually they switched
So awesome, Was hoping guys would play an Eddie solo to see the greatest guitarist of all time!, I love Dimebag, Angus, Kirk Hammett, and Jimi but Eddie has and always will be on another planet with what he can do on the geeeeeeeeetar. Cheers and rock ya later!
I'm 61 yrs. old. I've seen and heard a lot of great guitar players, but I've never seen or heard anyone play like that. I've always said there was so many great ones, actors,athletes,musicians, that there couldn't be one "Best" or "Greatest", but Eddy has GOT to be the best guitarist EVER.
I was at this concert August 27th 1986 New Haven Coliseum in New Haven Connecticut! This was so freaking amazing I was to the right of the stage amazing seats!! Eddie totally kicked ass!!
Omg smoke rings oh yes yes yes.....the days I do so miss my skin was fresher then my hair crazy wild my eyes grabbed and held tight as we partied through the night....
Oh the days the days.....69 firebird on backroad going 60 till the hairpin turn brought us out to dance with farmer Joe's cows.....oh the days the days....what a ride.
Saw this in Seattle that year...BTO opened for some reason, lol. Pretty fun show.
I saw them live in concert and it was amazing💯 Eddie was a master at guitar, the whole band was perfect with Dave and long hair a&antics! I’ll never forget that🤘 Love Van Halen🔥
The best solo ever. Never get tired of listening to it.🤩
You both are a great wonderful couple. So nice to see you both rocking HARD!!! I saw this tour at The Cow Palace in SF on Halloween.
I was at the Cow Palace a few days later, on November 2nd. My first real concert, and still my favorite. Ed wore black parachute pants for that show, and he was incredible. I started playing guitar soon after that concert.
This makes me wanna request some #EricJohnson Cliffs of Dover.
Eric Johnson - Desert Rose
We had a deal when my son was learning guitar he would get £500 - he did it a couple of years later (when his hands were big enough to play it properly). And, what did he do with the money? Bought a new guitar :) He now has 3 electric (BC Rich Bitch, Dave Mustain Flying V, and Fender Jaguar) and two acoustic which are new (a fender acoustic signed by all Metallica members and another fender that was not cheap but less valuable he could take to University which is still at University since he came home for lockdown). Seems weird when I hear him playing Nothing Else Matters on a guitar signed by the band....
I was born in Pasadena, CA (1957) & I lived in Glendora CA & then worked in Pasadena & these guys played high school dances all around the San Gabriel Valley around my ""HIGH SCHOOL"" time. I saw them at ""THE BIG "A"" (aka Anaheim Stadium) home of the Angels & the Rams (for a while & that always screwed up the S/X races) so I would have to say that they were ""MY HOME TOWN BAND"". Michael Anthony lived in Glendora for a good spell and was seen in & around town often.
I was 16 years old in 1986 and watched Van Halen Live without a net with my older brother...sooo cool...:)
Live Without a Net filmed in New Haven CT 😎
New Halen
#UFO Love To Love
UFO keyboardist Paul Raymond passed away the other day at the young age of 73 :(
:(
UFO is arguably the most under-rated band of all time. Thin Lizzy is in that argument, too. Both are classic bands with more great songs than nearly every other band, ever.
So so sad. UFO was the 1st band I saw live in 78. Been among the top 5 of my fav bands ever since.
Wow. Dident know that. Well that sucks. Sad. R I P paul raymond
Love me some U F O. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
MICHAEL SCHENKER. GUITAR GOD
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@Turner-Be-Thy-Real-Name . Rock bottom. One badass SONG. Great guitar work
I was born in 88. But I distinctly remember watching this on VHS in the early mid 90's with my dad. He's the one that turned me on to rock. And what better introduction could you ask for.
I saw them at the Hampton Coliseum in Virginia on this tour. I was 18 years old and my parents took me to the concert. My parents and I have seen Van Halen several times since then.
My first concert was VH in 1984 with DLR at Richmond Colosseum with my Dad and brother. 🤘🎸🎶
The Best all time...
I was 16 when i first heard Van Halen 1, although in 1987. I looked in the phone book the next day for guitar lessons.
i heard Van Halen for the first time when i was 13 which was 4 years ago. they were instantly my favorite band
i play drums though
love you guys . metalhead from northern sweden
ur my new favorite reaction channel, so muc synergy and energy between you two
Eddie Van Halen played this while having a cocktail of drugs running through his veins.
Oh, and also alcohol and cigarettes.
And still his fingers are able to play it, and still his brain (or soul) is able to follow what they are playing.
Who wasn't in the 80's... EVH is the master of rock guitar!!!! PERIOD!!!
Cigarettes????? They don't make you high or drunk ( at least not regular ones).
@@hesch-tag What ???
Uh....I think MOST of us introduced to EVH back in the late '70's and onward had our own cocktail of drugs goin' on. Hell man, the '80's were all about the 3 "C's".....Countaches, Cocaine and wine-Coolers baby!
This is the Very best You could of Done - Great
What a fabulous introduction by Sammy, alot of guys would be jealous, but Sammy was proud to be out there with Eddie! Eddie was having so much fun and I'm told he doesn't even remember this performance! A true master of his craft! Hey Rich wouldn't you love to have one of those picks he threw out there? This is my first time sitting in with you and Kel, thank you for allowing me to do that! If I can find you again I'd like to sit in again.
OMG I love your videos so much, I thought because youtube gltich that ur videos are gone forever, but you are HERE !
Eddy is GOD
When you look at the complete scope of things I really feel EVH is the greatest GUITAR GOD of all time. It takes more than great playing to be a superstar. How original are they.Before EVH who sounded like EVH.??? Who played like EVH.??? In 1978 Guitar player Magazine got an advanced copy of VH 1. They called everyone into THE LISTENING ROOM where they played Eruption over and over trying to figure out what was going on. Was it overdubs or a guitar running through a synth. This is Guitar Player magazine folks and they had no idea He made or modified his own equipment ,and countless people copied his ideas . In the early 80s one pickup guitars were the hot thing in rock because EVH had only one pickup in his homemade guitar. It only had one pickup because he didn't know how to wire in the second one. Big named guitar plyers were copying his mistakes. He is a unbelievable song writer and then there is his stage presence. well look at the video. Put all together I think he is the greatest
Well said. There's good. There's great. And there's the greatest. The greatest would know every inch of his tools or instrument, every sound it makes leaning against the wall, to being thrown through the air. The greatest would also know what that tool does and interacts with in everything and all around it, from its own cord receiving power, to its other tools in the bag. Eddie was a genius mostly because he wasn't afraid to try. It's trying the "good" and "greats" failed at. And a classical education didn't hurt. LoL
Y'all are straight-up a fantastic kind of goofy with a positivity that lifts people in these odd times! You also remind me of my wife and I... she's classically trained, and I learned by ear. I love showing her new music I know she'll love! Keep up the good work! You're extremely entertaining!
He played most of Eruption, but also opened with 316, organ sounding part was Cathedral, and the percussive part was partly the opening for Mean Street which he added stuff to.
Eddie should be in PRISON! That guitar wasn’t 18!!
The King of Ten Fingers and Six Strings : Edward Van Halen
The king of pop guitar.
Again...I love you guys!!!! Eddie is the master!!! Love from Brasil!
I was lucky enough to see the Van Halen first tour in America off the first album. They opened for Black Sabbath in Oakland California. Van Halen blew the doors off the arena ... never forget that show !
DIRE Straits - Private Investigations. - Kel needs to experience that piece of Knopfler genius. Then Maybe Brothers in arms as a bonus.
Seconded. Really anything by Dire Straits is choice.
I love EVERYTHING on Kel , Rich, Bro you have one Sexy wife dude!
Great start! Nothing like turning this up to 11 at stupid o'clock and waking up the whole street!!! They don't make 'em like that very often!!!!! Good video, good reaction!!!
I was 24 when I saw this show at the Montréal Forum, this solo reminds me of how Eddie VH was one of the greatest guitarist of all time.
Being Canadian, you might check out April Wine. roller...all over town 21st century schizoid man.
April Wine was the very first concert I saw. They opened for Kansas. I believe it was 1978!!! Awesome
"Just Between You and Me," "I like to Rock." And nothing's more rock than combining "Day Tripper" with "Satisfaction." "Say Hello" to Canada from this Texan.
21st century schizoid man! King Crimson, with the legendary Robert Fripp, who invented “FRIPPTRONICS”!
Other Canadian bands : Saga, Red Rider, Chilliwack, Spoons, etc
Edy quitar is called frankestaing
I truly enjoy watching you guys. You show how rock and metal makes a person come alive. Great stuff! Thank you! I grew up idolizing Edward VanHalen...
At this level of talent and ability watching Eddie play is like watching a thoroughbred run. Or watching the monster waves at Waikiki. You need to experience it to appreciate it fully.
#Steve Vai. For the love of god live with orchestra
Yeah!!!
I've been a pain in the ask for that one for a while now. I hope they get to it as well! I know they will love it when they finally get to it!
Joe Ferrante, Augustin Ares & Rober Simmons -- YesYesYes! Steve Vai doing "For the Love of God" with the Holland Metropole Orchestra. Some amazing musician/Vai fan scored FTLOG for orchestra. Opening notes we Vai fans are familiar with are done by the oboist. The oboist! This version abso-tively and posi-lutely kills it.
Yes this is a good one. When he starts playing. Epic.
Glorious.
#EricJohnson - Cliffs of Dover (Live)
I know you two will love Erics sound and playing. Amazing guitarist!
Ooooo that's a good one !!!!
Yes
I don't remember the first time I heard Eruption, but I saw Van Halen/ Hagar in '86 at the Lee County Civic center in Ft. Myers. I was a Sr. in high school soooooo 18 I guys. Best show I had seen at that time.
I was 2 years out of high school. I still have the albums from back then!
It does not in any way, shape or form, get better than this.
SRV
Rob Macmillan SRV great but different.
Ah yes, once again watching Kel who is classically trained listening to Mr. Edward Van Halen play Eruption. Her facial reaction's with her left eyebrow being raised is just price less. It show's that no matter the style of music if it is done correctly can really be appreciated by everyone. From the rocker's all the way to those who were classically trained. That is the wonderful thing about music, it is all the same language.
I’ll go a step further. Kel might be one of the few who can ACTUALLY appreciate this level of musicianship. I watched HER… not the video… because I wanted to SEE her put the puzzle together. Her face betrays. A classically trained person notices when she’s intrigued: she can’t hide it. EVH was a freak of nature. I sincerely think he was born out of his time. He could have given Mozart a run for his money. EVH was a classically trained pianist who brought that artistry to the guitar and along with Hendrix, changed the way we THINK about the guitar as an instrument. There have been hundreds of great guitarists… but EVH and Hendrix “changed it.”
@@iambecomepaul It was one of my favorite moments of this video when Kel heard Eddie doing that cello-ish sounding part, and it instantly clicked with her and Rich
Wow. You are breathtakingly moronic.
@@iambecomepaul OMG its another youtube idiot with cringy language.
How the f*^#k do you know anything at all about this guy? Because he said so? If he's all that, why is he on youtube doing foolish reactor shit? Most of these "reactors" are unemployed and sitting in their bedrooms in the basement of mom's house.
Thanks for the vid; really enjoyed the reaction from you guys, really loved the banter and chemistry you have. This solo is a “mash-up” of a few solos Eddie Van Halen had already recorded and future recordings. The intro is called “316” which at the time was not recorded yet (he eventually dedicated to his son Wolfgang - the numbers are his date of birth. ) then he goes off and blows your mind with his “brown” sound and plays solos from the classic albums - “Eruption”, “Cathedral” intro to “Mean Street” and a lot of his signature sounds and solos he has played over the years. I was very fortunate that during this tour back in 86-87 I attended the San Diego date, had my mind blown at a young age from the master himself 🤘🏻
Eddie is like no other. When you've experienced Van Halen live it's more than the music it's so loud you can literally feel the sound waves going through your body. The Fair Warning tour in 81 I was deaf for 3 days. We love Eddie cause you could tell back in the day when we were young he loved the reaction we gave him! VAN HALEN FOREVER BABY!
I could see it took a minute or 2 Kel but you really opened your mind to this. It was great to see that real reaction to this mastery. I hope that these reaction are really real, they seem so. I love you two so much. You have seen my other posts. I really enjoy watching you tow. It is such a love fest. great to watch.
I'm just glad you got to see this in your life , Ed transcended boundaries , by communicating with music , what we wish we could say with words. R.I.P. buddie.
I am just mesmerized by the talent of Eddie. If only I could shred like that. Thanks for doing this reaction video!
I was 25 when I first saw Eddie perform this guitar solo, at this concert in 85...Blew me away, still does , Will always be My Guitar Hero 🎸 ♡♡♡
Got to see them at Rocklahoma in 1980 while they were on their 'Women and Children First' tour - Have You Seen Jr's Grades?? - and they were fantastic!!
Someone threw a joint onto the stage (ok, a lot of people were throwing them on the stage, LoL!!) and DLR picked one up and did the whole slap-stick routine of "What's this??" waving it all around....Then he lit it up!!! O M G ! ! ! Those were the days! Pat Benatar, The Doobie Brothers, Sammy Hagar and of corse Van Halen!
He was incredible for sure! ❤️
thanks for the reaction! Eddie is playing several different pieces from other albums wrapped into the eruption solo. it became his super solo, and regardless of whether he was on any self medicated influence, still one of the most bad ass solos and guitar players ever. Many others on their most sober day would have trouble just tuning his guitar. lol
I had a roommate who was a very good guitarist. He could play anything you asked him to. When he first moved in he was playing around a bit, and we were talking. He said ask me to play anything, and I said Eruption. He kind of laughed and played it flawlessly like it was nothing. It sounded like I had 1984 cranked up on the stereo, but he was never going to make a living out of it. He played some recording sessions, none with any bands you ever heard of, and that was it.
Awesome reaction! I grew up on the "Live without a Net" home video and pretty much learned to play the guitar by watching that every day after school. Also i wear a Camouflage Van Halen jacket!! Keep ROCKIN!!!
And that was just him out there goofing around on the guitar! AMAZING!
I just love you guys! Glad you're getting to this! THE BEST this puts it perfectly!
You guys are too cute...kel hope you get to feeling better sweetheart 💕.
I saw this concert on t.v. back when I was like 6 and and by the age of 10 I got my parents to buy me a guitar. He was a big influence on so many guitarist including me. I remember practicing tapping when I was getting better because of him and Randy Road's I heard classical music before I ever heard classical music. It was like reversed from what Kel explained I heard the amplified version of classically influenced music then later got into classical music! I was like oh, this sounds like Megadeth in a way just a few more notes here and there lol! Anyway, great reaction as always!
