VH at their best.
Eddie's shuffle "feel" in this track, along with the 2 main solos are absolutely off the friggin' charts.
Eddie was so far ahead of the times with his playing. There's people out there now, that can't do what he did here in the late 70s.. Greatest of all Time!!
Jimi Hendrix AND Eddy were asked (at different times, of course) how it felt to be the greatest guitar player in the world. They both said the same thing - "How should I know, go ask Roy Clark."
You stole the words right out of my mouth, 100% correct
Edward is unparalleled in any time or genre. He was 50-70 years ahead of his time
Ive been playing for 41 years, i CAN play this song, but your CORRECT, it feels like somethings is missing. His rythym is unmatchable.
@@oldguitarguy7528 that's the main thing. People may be able to play his stuff. Eddie's stuff is always more difficult to play than Clapton or Hendrix stuff. But Ed's feel, attack, swing, and unholy rythem / ability to go rythem to lead and back is just unfair. No one who plays his stuff sounds anything remotely close to his stuff...
Alex Van Halen is really an underrated drummer. He was totally awesome!
The two brothers bit off each for other for years, that’s why Alex could keep up with his brother and vice versa.
He’s an incredible drummer.
Watch them cover the WHO won’t get fooled again and watch Alex in the isolation room.
That shuffle is iconic. He wrote a lot of music too. Agreed.
amen me being a drummer I agree
Alex isn't underrated. He's known as a great drummer.
No he's not. People know how awesome he is. He's was/is a great and creative rock drummer.
When Eddie hit the scene, every aspiring rock guitar player wanted to be like him, or they wanted to BE him. Then every guitar manufacturer tried to emulate the guitar that Eddie created in his garage. He changed the complete landscape.
Honestly, this track is a big fuck you to every other guitar player around at the time. Wether it was intentional or not.
Don't forget Michael Anthony on the bass, and back up vocals. He's very underrated. David Lee Roth the lead singer is the ultimate front man, and of course Eddie doin his thing, and Alex Van Halen is an amazing drummer.
All true. How does one shine brighter than EVH? Alex and Michael were both a part of the magic. And then there is DLR. I have never seen a more athletic frontman, although, his vocals were not the best during live performances...but a very entertaining showman
@@raymo6795 So True. A Great Band, and had a great run.
I'm the one is my favourite from vh first album.eddies guitar playing is off the charts .
Arguably the ultimate Van Halen song, from undoubtedly the best Van Halen record, their debut. True memory: I'm 9, I'm listening to this, holding up the big vinyl record cover, looking at the man in the upper left, saying to myself, "I want to be him." RIP EVH. And you're right Asia, he was the best rock guitar player.
I often cite this as the ultimate VH song as well. It’s just every band member proving why they are “the one you love”. Too bad the band broke up in 1984 and were never heard from again… 😉
Damn, they changed everything. Look at Billboard in 1978 and you’ll just laugh at the juxtaposition of this music against everything else going on at the time.
I firmly believe if Eruption hadn't been on VH1 that I'm the One would have been THE Van Halen song.
Eddie is the GOAT!!!
To quote wrestler/musician Chris Jericho…
“When you’re a step up from the greatest of all time, you’re Eddie Van Halen”
RIP EVH🤘🏼
I like how you guys often choose tracks that are a little off the beaten path. Like this, certainly not one of the more popular songs from that killer 1978 debut album, but it sure highlights the band's talents even way back then.
Is one of the most well known songs in their live sets
I remember when this album came out in 1978, we were all blown away. I saw Van Halen in August of 78 open for Ted Nugent and in September of '78 open for Black Sabbath.
Omg. Thats incredible!
Ted once said that he told Eddie that he would sound that good too if he had that gear he had. Then Eddie let him play on it. Turns out Ted was feeling a bit foolish after that.
one of the BEST debut albums ever!!!
The one song with a guitar track that even Ed himself could never dublicate.
Simply the greatest track of all time.
Bar-none.
Agreed 100%. Also the INSANE swing Ed and Al had on virtually every song. Just phenomenal chops and vibe.
The smile that was on Asia's face the entire song is fantastic. It shows how much she was really enjoying every bit of the song.
Even George Jefferson had that stank face going!🤣 Great reaction!🤠🤓
Came here looking for this comment! Lmao
😅😅😅
Eddie Van Halen - just unreal. There is/was no one like him. Van Halen 1 was a killer album. One of the best debut albums of all time
Hadn't listened to this song in a long time. Forgot how Eddie shredded in it. Incredible talent and innovation. He had forgotten more about guitar playing than I will EVER know. Just a BEAST. Peace!
the greatest, I still miss him
If anybody doesn't know exactly what Van Halen is about, I always play them this song first.
@@joeday4293 Some of their lesser known songs are my favorites….Hang em High is another fave
@@raymo6795 Man, "Hang 'Em High" is the truth. So is "Little Guitars" from the same album.
@@joeday4293 …”loss of control”, Saturday Afternoon in the Park,…Dude, there are no bad VH songs of the DLR era…maybe “Jump”. .?.I bought each VH album as they came out and devoured them for countless hours. …Nothing against Sammy, he is a great singer, but that was a different time, different band..good, but not as good…From the age of 12 to 18, there was always a VH cassette nearby….Of all the idols and heroes I have had in my life, none have impacted me like the death of Eddie
The solos are improvised and put down in one take! As was the case for most this debut album. His rhythmic riffs are also second to none. His brother Alex is a beast on this one. They were young and hungry, firing on all cylinders here! What a barn burner of a song! One of my all time favorite VH songs ever! Thanks for doing this one!
there will never be another Eddie Van Halen he is one of the G.O.A.TS RIP EDDIE
yes Asia i agree 1 million%. Edward Van Halen was & still is & will always be ' The BEST ' 👑👑🎸🎸
Nobody changed the electric guitar like EVH. It's funny that when other famous guitarist saw his rig (what he used for effects and amplification) they could not believe it. They realized it was in his fingers and talent. There will never be another like him, ever! You gotta love Diamond Dave and those incredible background vocals - hats off to Michael Anthony, the bassist. He has some of the best high vocal pipes and a very important part of the Van Halen sound!
What a great track off of one of the most influential albums of all time. The pace is psychotic and they blew everyone away when we saw them on their first big tour, opening for Black Sabbath. First thing we all agreed on after their set and first witness to Eruption is we had seen something along the lines of A new, Jimi Hendrix type of guitar hero who would influence all rock guitarists going forward. Great choice, love that song. Also from their debut album, try Atomic Punk, another banger. Van Halen forever! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎶
I Saw That Tour With Black Sabbath and Your Right 100 % !!
This is probably my favorite song off of this album. I knew Asia was going to enjoy this one.
I love this track because everyone is going off, not just Eddie and Alex. Listen to this track again and focus on the bass. Michael is constantly moving. Fast paced walking bass lines.
A lot of bass players would probably cramp up playing that song during a show. 🤘🔥🔥🤘
Diamond Dave, EVH and Michael Anthony's tree part harmonies are an integral part of their songs.
Eddie's rhythm playing was just as great as his lead. This is one of my favorite tracks from him.
Eddie Van Halen was truly a Treasure!!! R.I.P to the Legend,the Myth,and The Man!!!
EVH hit the guitar world like a nuclear bomb, and this song is a classic example. His playing scorches like lightning, like nothing heard before that time. He didn't have to develop over a few albums; he was instantly recognized as a superstar player of the highest magnitude.
Very well said!
This first album was basically live, no over dubs, what you hear he played in just a few takes.
Most astounding to me is that this was played in ONE TAKE! No overdubs or studio fixes! Eddie beyond genius IMHO.
Eddie had such good rymth. Yes he could play fast and shred with the best of them. But the way that Eddie played, it sounded like he never missed a string. It was also so crystal clear and precise. He always knew what a song needed to make it sound good. RIP Eddie. We miss you.
Eddie played like no one else.And no one else played like EVH...but many have tried.Eddie was my greatest hero. He was part of my life since I was 14, I miss him too
This song (at 236 bpm) encapsulates EVH’s bursting onto the scene and his talent: rhythm playing, soloing, writing and innovation. He created and played this when he was 22. The rhythm is a subtle Jazz shuffle that is hard to imitate and he has two major solos in it, although he’s basically EVH soloing with hammer ons, pull offs, tapping, bending, etc., through the whole thing between the rhythm parts. It’s a classic that is completely original.
This, their debut album is complete fire. 🔥 Speaking of fire, check out, "On Fire" & "Atomic Punk", by Van Halen. ✌️
Eddie is THE Man! When this album, their debut, came out it changed everything.
Love ❤️ how you guys are appreciating one of the all time greats…. The mighty Van Halen…. RIP Eddie….. there will never be another one like him….. Shout out to BJ’s shirt!!!!! Rip Sherman Hemsley. aka Mr George Jefferson….
Eddie told us many of the techniques he used he didn't create but expanded upon. But he certainly did invent a sound. He was always bending, sliding, pounding, popping, tapping to get a cavalcade of Eddie-tastic sounds.
Eddie is up there with the greats, Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Page, Gilmour, SRV!!
Love them all!!🤘🎸
Better than all of them
We did a lip-sych to this song back in '81, we were up against a bunch of "new wave" crap. The parents and teachers were the judges, and I think they liked the "shoo-be-do-wah" part. We ended up winning, which in junior high was a big deal!! The pictures are hysterical. Love your reactions, y'all. You always make smile.
Eddie is known for his tremendous lead guitar playing, but he was one of the best rhythm players EVER! His ability to keep the proper tempo and then switch back and forth between lead and rhythm was/is unmatched!
You listen to him today and it's great, but imagine what it was like in 1978, in the disco Era, to hear it. Absolutely mind blowing!
My personal favorite rock band, keep em coming.🙏
Eddie van Halen is the Best to me Also Asia. When I was in School and they were breaking out There was no one playing anything close to what he was doing, his ability and style just freaked me out ! ! ! Still does today !
Thanks cuz 🙏 for the sug 😉 long live EVH and Wolfgang!!!!❤
Good analysis guys..!!! Van Halen ..! Monstro.!! So great.!💖✨💫
I love watching you guys listening to Van Halen. With Alex the drummer it's almost always a shuffle. The solos are insane. Had Eruption not been on the album, this one (no pun intended) would have had every guitarist at that time shaking their heads. Blistering.
YES VH IS IT!! THERE IS NONE HIGHER "SHOW MY LOVE '" IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THE SKILL PERCISION, THE CREATIVE POSITIVE FLOW OF SOUND IS SUCH A GOOD TIME ( OUT OF LOVE,OR GOOD GIRLS GONE BAD, ARE GREAT VH TUNES WORTH CHECKIN OUT) thanks for all you do I remember when I 1st heard these tunes so cool to be able to share that experience with someone after all these years !!!
I used to sit in my room and air guitar this song multiple times every day in middle school, well I still do actually.
YES Asia.. Mr, Eddie Van Halen is the pinnacle of Guitar Masters!
The entire 1st album kills... and Ed is just killin it... the dives alone
They don't make 'em like they used to when we're talking about great rock groups. BTW, Alex Van Halen is a highly underrated drummer.
100% he never gets spoken about but his playing compliments Eddie so well.
The main difference between Eddie and so many other great players is even my 80 year old mother grins when she hears him play. He played with that Sugar Honey Iced Tea eating grin on his face and you can hear it in his playing. Great video, have a great 4th tomorrow, Cheers!!
1978 I was an aspiring baseball pitcher....an older son of my mom's friend told me to come into his room to check something out. I was 10 years old he has a massive stereo with 4 speakers and puts that album on very loud and I sat there with my mouth wide open because at that time you did not hear guitar playing like that. I was mesmerized and I said the next day I quit sports and earned money with a lawnmowing route in the neighborhood and got a guitar, and haven;t stopped since. I write and record music still. I have music that I recorded on my channel and writing music and having an outlet to put a very traumatic growing up time helped keep me out of a lot of trouble I could have gotten into along with the hand of God keeping me from prison time or death. But that album is very fond memories and staring at that album cover thinking how cool Eddie looked LOL. Good times :) blessings to both of you!
it brought tears to my eyes to watch 2 people feel the joy of EVH!!! That song is his masterpiece IMHO.
Saw them 3 times with Dave and 2 with Sammy 😊😢❤🎉 Eddie's SOlO was Always the HIGH Light Of EVERY Show 😮❤
Eddie and his brother, Alex the drummer have a special connection that is unique to them. It's part of the magic of Van Halen.
We can't forget about Michael Anthony his High background vocals always were on point and he has that driving Baseline to compliment Alex's drumming
Listening to Asian get emotional about Eddie's playing, made me emotional. Damn. I used to be a badass. Black belt in Karate, wrestled, played football and baseball, my share of fist fights. Now I'm just a regular dude, 53 years old, wife is asleep in the other room, and I get a little tear in the eye watching someone of a different color, age group, and gender appreciating my idol, the King, the sound track of my life, and appreciating it not for clicks, but seeing the honest, real reaction. These reaction videos are the best thing on the internet. Our government wants us divided. But music brings us together. Music is a blessing from God. Government is an unproductive, bloated entity that is supposed to serve us, but now sees us as their servants. More reactions please.
This debut album changed guitar forever, some of the greatest guitar players of today still talk about the first time they heard this album and were blown away. There will never be another Edward Van Halen. RIP brother.
I've just discovered your channel. I've got to say one thing.. He is definitely one of if not the best but the big thing for me was he always looked like he was having fun while he was tearing the roof off the joint. He was always smiling and laughing and getting you to come along.. I've seen them 4 times and every time he was just loving life.
Eddie VH on guitar and Alex VH on drums, great combo.
Eddie and Alex Van Halen jammed together constantly, creating that dynamic between the guitar and drums that most bands simply don’t have.
We were all teenagers then .When I first heard this album I said who is this ! .He said Van Halen .Party On ! RIP Eddie .
I grew up with that music. Eddie Van Halen was my first musical influence and even when I started my music career as a jazz musician, I endeavored to play my sax the way he played guitar...that's to say distinctly, with technical mastery, but with soul.
Outta Love is another good example of the debut album. Heck,,,they are all good.
Eddie's guitar playing at the time this album came out must have been like showing the internet to people in Victorian times. It was so innovative and so far ahead of its time, that some would argue we're still trying to catch up with it. Plus, it didn't hurt that he had one of the coolest guitar tones ever :D
This is the very best, most accurate and honest “I get it, I hear it,” moment about Edward Van Halen I’ve seen on many of these Van Halen “reacts,” videos on RUclips. Asia was caught right up in it and dropped serious knowledge.
Keep this in mind,, these songs on the first album, where all performed on stage, created,rehearsed for years by teenage boys before the album came out.
Their following was Giant.
Kids would bring cassette recordings of them from weekend shows, at high school dances , gymnasium concerts, and Gazari's.
The album speaks for itself.
Imagine when this 1st album came out and nobody had heard anything like it. I was 8 years old , was mesmerized and got my first guitar. Still playing to this day. Eddie was a game changer, like Hendrix before him.
Yep, just commenting on a reply I saw, but Roy Clark was an absolutely amazing guitarist. He could play incredibly fast and precise on acoustic guitar as well.
This is a deep cut meaning a song that didn't get airplay but true fans loved it. 10 seconds in he hits a lick that great guitarist say is nearly impossible.
The reaction Asia has is what most of us, if not all, in 1978. I was 13, this was not an arrival, it was as if nothing before matterd.
Rip EVH❤
His brother Alex, is smashing it on drums.
That's one of the all time best performances by EVH on a studio recording.
Asia you are right Eddie is the one!! No one like him! Van Halen early stuff is the best!!! RIP Eddie! You are missed! Genius!❤️
Great song I met Alex Van Halen and David Lee Roth back in 1979 at the Pasadena CA Hilton after a gig by another group from that area called Snow! Super party animals and super showman. I seen them twice in concert at Anaheim Stadium and also at Cal Jam 2 I believe. Best in the planet at that time!!!!
Eddie Van Halen (the guitar player in the band) was only 22 years old when this album came out. I'm old enough to remember the impact he had on rock guitar when this was released. It was earth shattering. He changed rock guitar as we knew it for years.
Eddie was n always be the best remember in 78 we didn't have phones or music videos so we had no idea what we were hearing it just blew everyone's minds Eddie invented his unique sound by building his own guitar imo best ever !!!
My wife knows that “I’m the One”, 👊🏻. 😎. And She’s “The One”, for me! Great reaction, y’all! Much ❤️ from NOLA!!!
Love that!
no guitarist ever had as many jaw dropping moments as eddie, we’ll never see his like again.
Changed every thing - never gets old. Famous band quote: "Too much is never enough".
Never apologize!! I've been playing guitar for 40 years, He is ( IMO ) the Best!! And one of the most influential players Ever!! That era of VH was magic with the brothers, mike and Diamond Dave.
Back in 84 when i was a senior Eddie Van Halen was my hero. Me and my friends use to party hard to their music plus we were all musicians too. I miss the old days.
Certainly one of the greatest debut albums of all time!
Asia, by my opinion he is the best.....innovator, crazy artist of six strings.......legend💣
Y'all should check out "Atomic Punk", then "Jamie's Cryin'", next.
Check out the whole album; it's such a great album. I've bought it, a few times.
Atomic punk and im on fire 2 underknown kick ass songs
@@GES8215 definitely not unknown by anybody who knows Van Halen
Eddie Van Halen was one of those iconic guitarists that made rock n' roll history 🤘🤘🎸ever since the birth of rock n' roll music...
U got those talents that just dropped a bomb with their skills on the guitar... 🎸 Chuck Berry in the 1950's... Jimi Hendrix in the 1960's... Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple/ Rainbow) in the 70's... and then Eddie Van Halen of Van Halen in the late 70's/ early 80's... followed by Stevie Ray Vaughan... Yngwie J. Malmsteen... Steve Vai... Joe Satriani... Dave Mustaine... and so many others... 🤘🤘
this is live in the studio by the way. so, if your wondering how good, precise, 'attention to detail' can they play? this is a good example. note: there aren't 2 guitar tracks. one extremely impressive young man playing a frenetically paced blues riff on guitar along with Al and Mike throwing down a ramped up boogie beat to make your head spin... bear in mind it's their first record. EVH is 22, Alex and Mike are by this time 24, David was about to turn 23. none of them play/sing like young men. they were experienced, seasoned, very rehearsed, focused, professional. incredible.
Agree 200% Asia definitely the BEST!
Still hurts so hard to speak of Eddie in past tense, but he was a virtuoso in guitar & music creation. The man was simply a Genius & it still sucks knowing his gone now forever. RIP Eddie, & Rock On in Power whereever you are it's definitely the best Jam there is!
....oh myyyyy.... hearing in 1978 this song for the first time; it was adrenaline mindboggling..... guitar; so good. And like you said....you can hear each note!!
I see Asia and BJ are going for a Van Halen classic deep cut, pretty cool.
Eddie Van Halen established himself as one of the world's elite guitar players at only 22 years old, on his very first album, playing a guitar he pieced together from spare parts! Van Halen went from backyard parties in Pasadena to conquering the world!
There are 2 great things about this reaction video.
1. Reacting to my all time favorite VH song.
2. The George Jefferson T shirt is awesome !
The 2 key components to make any video successful. 😂😂😂
Ed will always be the best to me. Rip Eddie.
Y'all want to hear a diverse Van Halen? Listen to the song Big Bad Bill from their 1982 album Diver Down. Nothing like it. And a great clarinet by Jan Van Halen, Eddie and Alex's father! EVH will forever be the G.O.A.T. to me.
I love how you appreciate Alex Van Halen’s drumming - he is the greatest swing drummer in hard rock
That was awesome guys. I love seeing your expressions when hearing some of this incredible music. You have an appreciation for when you hear something great. Edward was a KING.
When one is listening to the guitar immensely and the other is concentrating on the drums but you guys make it work. Good job!
When this album came out roared in the 80's I was a 13 year old teen and it changed our world. Girls and Guys partied in a whole other way. Dave gave Me a role model how to impress chicks and we loved the music fed our souls
This album and bj’s t-shirt fit perfectly together..well done sir
LOVE VH! They were kick ass! David Lee Roth was a great frontman. Saw them in the 80's.
Wicked tune!!! Sadly this tune was NOT the type of music that was going to make it on mainstream radio back in the day!!
"HE IS DANGEROUS!"
***LOVE IT***
This Album, ( There First ) There Music CHANGED ( The Way For Rock Guitar Player's and ( Music in General ) ( Including Myself ) Approach At The Instrument. Because Of Eddie VanHalen, I Had To Start All Over Again( LOL ) The 70's Style Guitar Playing Was Fading Out, Disco and Punk Was Happening. We Needed A New Sound and VanHalen Brought It To The Table and EVERYBODY ATE IT UP !! The Rest Is HISTORY !! VanHalen's First Album ?? IT TOTALLY SMOKES !! EDDIE VANHALEN THANK YOU !! R.I.P. !!
