Adrian 'Adje' Vandenberg tells the story behind the song 'Burning Heart' by Vandenberg. A short documentary by Top 2000 a gogo (Dutch Public TV) from 2015.
this song is now 37 years old, but it rocks every time I listen.. absolutely fantastic song.
You can tell he loves music, guitar, piano. Lives and breathes it. I don’t speak Dutch but I understand his musical communication. 👌😎👌🎸👌😎
Not speaking Dutch... we won't hold that against you! ;) There are subtitles available here, how ever... just click 'settings' -> the sprocket wheel, you know?
Adrian you are truly an inspiration, when I was 17, I lost everything in a house fire. I wanted to be a guitar player so bad follow in my father‘s footsteps but unfortunately my father passed away in January of this year, he absolutely adored you. Among many other players you were one of the ones that he played a lot. Burning heart was one of the first songs I heard as a little kid. So I want to make it one of the first songs I learn on my new guitar that he got me when I turned 18. I’m having such a hard time learning the guitar, I’m starting to think Music isn’t for me but I really want to be a musician. So I also tell myself all the time do not ever give up. If all of my favorite guitar players and Musicians did music would not exist today. So thank you for not giving up I am sure it was not easy for you at first either so thank you. I heard the new album yesterday and I love it! I heard it on my Spotify account.I am now 22, my dad wanted to be a guitar player a famous one anyways he never made it. Unfortunately cancer got him first. And it took him quickly sadly.
Hey its been 2 years how are things goining
So sorry for your loss ❤
40 years ago this week, in 1984, I saw them in concert in Dayton ,Ohio. The song has always been one of my favorites and Adrian's guitar tone is awesome.
I have been a fan of Adje for over 35 years, I love everything he does. What a truly amazing person and guitar player, sadly under rated ❤
😭 Wish I could understand... One of my all time favorites!!! I have always been a fan of AV... He's so underrated!!! Killer Tune ☮ ❤🎸
There's english subtitling available? Click the video and hit C on your keyboard.
Geweldig mooi om de achtergrond van dit nr te weten en zien hoe down to earth "Adje" van denberg is, super
This song and the solo blew me away when I first heard it in 1983. It is still one of my all time favorite songs and the solo is top2...when I played in bands I wanted to do this song...learning the solo was such an achievement for me.
Yep, one of my biggest influences as a guitar player, to this date. And I mean especially the first 3 Vandenberg CD's. Let's see what the new album in 2020 will have in store. With Romero singing.
Adrian Vandenberg is a criminally underrated guitar player!
Knock it off with all the underrated comments. Be original.
De eerste 2 albums helemaal grijs gedraaid. Fantastisch gitaarwerk! Wat een held! En die geweldige klassieke Les Paul sound.
Fantastische band en een wereldgozer!!!
Komt over als een heerlijk nuchtere gast die dit allemaal maar overkomen is. Petje af voor zijn creativiteit, zowel op muzikaal als schilder gebied. Prachtig nummer trouwens.
Idd!
Ad is een geweldige muzikant was erbij in Hilversum met de Moonkings in 2019. Heb daarna nog even met hem gesproken was super leuk jammer dat ze nu niet meer kunnen toeren. Keep going strong Ad ik blijf je muziek volgen.
A friend of mine played this song on 98 rock radio as a guess DJ back in the early 80's and i remember recording it and thinking "this is such an amazing band" and have been a fan every since. Thank you for sharing your passion and music Adrian, peace and blessings to you.
Adrian is my favorite guitar player, he is the reason that I decided to start playing especially when he was with Whitesnake..Very talented artist indeed!!
nog steeds 1 van mijn favoriete nummers....Bedankt man!
Hij mag zijn achterband wel eens oppompen! :-D
Burnig hearth que canción tan espectacular..y este guitarrista comparado solo con los mejores....como el de paradise lost .. o petruchi...será un clásico inmortalizado
Heerlijk om te kijken, dit! Wat een held!
Heerlijk die Hollandse nuchterheid...Mooi nummer en een mooie kerel !
Very cool. Adrian is a great guitarist.
Rock n Roll is a universal language. No subtitles needed.
@Walkintall It's subtitled, click on the CC button and enjoy ;-)
Barano you’re correct, speaking in your native language is good too.
I remember this song in rotation on MTV when it came out. I never forgot it.
Burning Heart is a timeless classic rock ballad... It's been in my music collection for over 25 years... Beautiful song...
I'm glad he told the story of it. It's my favorite song. Nothing has ever typed it. I especially like the guitar lyrics.
love is so tragic and beautiful at the same time
Adrian has aged like a fine wine. So elegant and spicy at the same time..
Die man is echt zo onwijs getalenteerd, benijdenswaardig.
Such a great song, after all this time!
I still love this song
Top nummer, top band !
Me encanta esta canción, quisiera tener el honor de poder escucharla en vivo
His classical influence, his Gibson and his playing style live was such a parallel to the late-great Randy Rhodes. I often wondered what Randy could've accomplished with expanding the art of music if he were still alive? Yet, I ask myself the same about Adrian the last 30 years.
Amazing piece of work that song. All of it just flows..
Sometimes the very simple rock videos are the very best. Greetings from Mountain Top Pa.
Love this song but I think Friday Night has always been my favorite.
Goede muzikant en gitarist!
I just found out about this song and I would really love to sing this at a karaoke convention.
Beautiful man💕
Alweer heel wat jaartjes geleden, Adje was en is een begrip in Enschede, met Jos nog een leuke tijd gehad met Syncope!
..werd ik tot mijn grote schrik gebombardeerd tot nieuwe gitaar god...ja shit man, ik moet nou gaan oefenen.. hilarisch!!
This video makes me want gold.
We kunnen weer stemmen! Dus ook weer tijd om deze videos terug te kijken!
Ben in 2022 36 maar ken dit nr maar al te goed alleen nooit geweten dat dit van nederlandse bodum was, waar een klein land groot in is
One of the great bands!
MASTERPIECE!!
En dan heeft Adje ook nog jaren bij Whitesnake gespeeld in hun glorie jaren.
Niet dat hij daar goed in was. Maar toch XD.
He's aged incredible. He has taken great care of himself and what amazing talent. And all that dang gorgeous hair. Beautiful man. Lovely home.
When classified as the new guitar god, he thought "Shit I gotta practice"! OMG, I laughed...He is now the new one-liner god!
That is tied for best rock ballad ever in my highly educated opinion ( "All We Are," Kim Mitchell 1984).
Zeker een hele fijn, mooi en bijzonder verhaaltje. Top👍👍👍👍👍👍 Adje zou een boek moeten schrijven. 🥳🤩
~WOW - BEAUTIFUL STORY!
Ik ben ook zo Nederlands dat ik me druk maak over de zachte/lege banden van Ad's fiets. Wilden ze dit filmpje een Nederlands tintje geven met een fietsende Ad? Wel een mooi huis.
I hope redoing of "Slip of the tongue" with Ad on guitar is going ahead.
Underrated
Typisch Nederland. Toen vonden ze gitaren al eng.
Prutsers maken echte muziek kapot, maar als een aap het met een pispot speelt, is het fantastisch.
For a moment, I thought Arnold Schwarzenegger grew his hair long and has been hiding a talent that we never seen before. Especially at the 2:12 mark.
The recording engineer did an excellent job on the drum track.
AND using "Roto Toms" was a very interesting choice...extremely rare product for the recording industry.
@@altoncook6747 Roto Toms and Staccato Kicks . . indeed a rare combination too . Back in the Eighties DrumKits were ,,Impressive,, for the Looks of it (show element). even though most Drummers didn''t even use all. Nowadays its all little and as Compact as can Be .
@@Hanzey1966
I really liked his all roto tom kit, looked great and sounded beautiful...I absolutely love drummers with unusual off the hook kits that actually PLAY all of the drums! Today's drummers are boring as hell.
@@altoncook6747 Yeah ...Those Magnificent Impressive Looking Drum-Kits are rare Nowadays .... Remember those Days where DrumSolos were a HighLight in the Concerts . . . .
@@Hanzey1966
I had some nice drum sets over the years. My last one was so expensive I had to file Bankruptcy. But everyone loved it. It was all great till my band broke up and I had no place to store them. I'll try to attach a pic if I can.
awesome..
Thought I was having a stroke, then I realized it wasn’t in English.
Good one!
OMG I was thinking the same thing lol
♥️♥️♥️
HIT THE CLOSE CAPTION BUTTON if you need subtitles (CC)
Super Cool;
Respect to the flying Dutchman...
The Burning Heart is way uderrated, maybe cause it's not English or American, well maybe, i'm not sure...
Oh, anyway...A briliant song...!!!!\\\
Can't believe he rides that bike in those boots and get up! 🤘
Don't underestimate the Dutch, lol, even girls with high heals on bikes. Why not ;)
@@LindaEll89 👍
Known Adje from Teaser with the self titled album.
Dude had some vocals
Staccato Drum Kit ♥
powerful
Very cool...................and don't forget Whitesnake!!!!
Cool
Did he really lose his jewels in a cycling accident...and if so....he got back on...please help me understand
It was funny when a young boy only want to have fun by playing guitar and wrote a song, and then all the sudden people stunned and alleged him as guitar god.
" Shit, I gotta practice"
..nice house.
You know, its weird but when I heard this song as sung by the vocalist, I imagined him looking exactly as he does. The music is entirely responsible for such a paranormal instance.
Same for the chick who sings, Trampoline, Shaed. Her voice is so inspirational due to the arrangement, the brain just knows she has a huge mouth, long neck and is a brunette.
Also the dude who sings "Why you have to be so cruel? Dont you know Im human too??"
His curly dark hair comes through in his singing.
I'm like 3 for 3 in three different decades. Utterly stupifying. 😂
Lekke band, Adje?
After he was labled a guitar god, that's when he decided to start practicing!?!?!?!
Hi quién puede traducir la entrevista al español o al inglés por favor.
Como Holandés lo que me gusta ver es un hombre/musicante sobrio como Adje (pronunciado Ád-che). Con todo su conocimiento, talento y excito que ha obtenido en su carrera, el todavía anda en su bicicleta en ves de un Ferrari o Lamborghini. Así que ya establecí su carácter. El explica como nació la canción “Burning Heart”. Todo empezó en el piano de su padre, el mismo piano que toca en este video, en cual menciona que todavía tiene marcas de los dedos de su papá. El toco un poco de blues, pero se acordó que tenia un intro en la guitarra y lo puso en piano. El menciona que el origen de la banda Vandenberg fue una banda de hobby en 1980 cuando el atendía en la academia de arte en Arnhem. En el video se ve unas pinturas de el. En ese tiempo como estudiante, y con su banda Vandenberg habían hecho un demo. Vandenberg ya tenían varias canciones de Rock, pero tal vez había campo para uno mas que era una balada, y ese fue “Burning Heart”. El video que hicieron de Burning Heart fue simple, lo hicieron en la ciudad de Enschede con solamente un podio y dos lamparas que se usa en la construcción. En la radio Holandés no encontraron la canción suficientemente bien para un hit. No fue hasta que fue un hit en los EEUU que se hizo un hit aquí. Adje estaba asombrado como el publico le gustaron tanto a su canción. Hasta en una revista Inglesa llamo a Adje “un Dios en la guitarra”, el dijo “juepucha, y ahora tengo que de veras ser maestro de mi instrumento”. El practico por muchas horas por mucho tiempo para tratar de calmar las expectaciones del publico. El resto es historia.
@@marcovanwijnen6840 Gracias por la traducción, me encanta Adrián Vandenberg!!!
Dammit, I don't understand French!
He's speaking Dutch!
It was a joke. 🙄
Lol!!!
ENGLISH TRANSLATION PLEASEEEEEEEE! The automatic translation goes berzerk with this.
I started Vandenberg in 1980. It was actually a hobby band. I was studying at the art academy. I was living temporarily at my parents' house, because my house in Arnhem burned down, with all my paintings and guitars and everything. I was messing around on the piano, you know, some bluesy stuff, stuff like that. Look, the grime of my father's fingers is still on here. - This is the piano? Yes, this is the piano. This has been in my parents' house since my early childhood. My father was a fantastic piano player, my sister is a classically trained pianist, she was practicing on it ever since she was young. There always was classical music and jazz in the house like that. That's why there were classical influences in the Vandenberg period especially. And that's why in various countries people concluded that I must have had classical schooling, but I can't read a single note! I don't know what I'm doing, I just follow my hearing. So, on the piano ... I was just conjuring that melody. And then I thought, wait a sec, I got this intro lying around somewhere. and at that time I recorded on cassette tapes, you know, and I thought I'll develop it further, it needs to have an ending,... There were a number of rock songs I had already written we had practiced them with the band, we recorded a demo tape. and I thought it is nice and complete if it also included a ballad, so I thought I'll go sit behind the piano and see what happens. so in fact it was a number like, let's toss something together on there quick, you know? We needed a demo video to see what the band would look like, so I rented a stage in Enschede, and we put two construction lights on there, so our pimply faces would be clearly visible. afterwards it embarassed us to no end, it is the video that's always shown with the song. Dutch radio didn't want to give it airtime, they thought it had no hit potential, but when it became a hit in America, then they had to. To my shock, when "Burning Heart" became a hit ... I was labeled the new guitar god. There was a big picture of me in this prominent english rock magazine with the caption: this is the new guitar god blah-blah-blah, and I thought, you know, shit I gotta practice! Because in that time I hardly did that. I was just playing for fun, these melodies came out of my fingers and that made me happy. You know, and then I started... practicing a few hours a day to get this pressure out of my head, like... Jesus man, something has to happen. Things turned out a little odd for me, since I was five I have been able to combine music and painting and eventually I went to the art academy, in stead of to music conservatory, my parents allowed both, they said: as long as you do something you can make a real profession of, you know? This was the cover of the third Vandenberg album. and I used to love to paint these.. very realistic... scenes that were actually impossible. Nowadays I also throw paint around, I work a lot with my hands, you smear it all over, you can see in that, it is a "burning heart" and I gave it a dedication: forever a burning heart for my Mickey, from your daddy, that was a moment of... a burning heart feeling, eventhough the song is actually less positive, the song is about a lost love and jealousy, "does it feel the same when he calls your name" , you know, what's it like with, are things the same with that dude as it was with me, you know? At that time I hadn't really experienced that yet, but I could imagine it, and if you live a rich life, you will experience it sooner or later. At that time I could never have expected that.. that song would put me on a life long journey, because with my present band Moon Kings we were playing that song in Tokyo, Japan for a crowd of 35000 and 35000 people chant along with it, you know? and I thought, you could never have imagined that, that song is 32 years old by now. It's very bizarre. I never could have thought... I would still be wearing hair up to my ass... and I'd be bouncing around the world with a guitar on my neck... that's really cool.
Nou.het is van mij gegunt om zoveel centjes te verdienen en dat wereld avontuur mee te maken met whitesnake. Adriaan heeft toch zn nederlandse stempel gedrukt op deze planeet. Daarom zat ik wel ff te kijken waarom hij op een platte fietsband rijdt..
MOOI HE.
Huh?
Sounds like me when I've drank a half a gallon of Jim beam. 😖
No one can understand shit.
Weet je wel..? :-)
Zijn band is lek? Plat? Of zou het zover wegzakken in de modder? LOL
a dutch val kilmer
Yeah right.. i think he wish.. 😂😂 Val Kilmer was really hot.. 😍
In Vandeburg you had to have at least two members in animal print leotard otherwise they wouldn't feel right about themselves.
C'mon man. English subs at least....
1. There are subs now
2. This is made for Dutch television, they're not obligated to ad English subs in any way and the YT channel isn't a priority (in fact if they wrote subs for every dutch segment it would be seen as a waste of money by the government). If you want subs you have to rely on the YT community.
“Niet hitgevoelig ...” 🤣
Over de hele wereld lopen te stuiteren met lang haar en guitar ...lol
Bla bla
Heeft zich te lang gefocust op zijn schilderwerkjes want zijn gitaarspel trekt op niks meer in vergelijking met dertig jaar geleden.
Maar wel Bert Heerink afserveren, die staat wel weer gewoon zonweringen te flatsen..
Echt waar? Met zo'n goeie strot kan 'íe toch wel aan de bak komen zou je zeggen.
Volgens mij heeft Bert dat zelf veroorzaakt....
@@Joseppe1971 vertel!
@@DJDanceClassic Bert is destijds de band uitgezet doordat hij zelf problemen veroorzaakte. Dat heeft adrian niet alleen gedaan. Ze hebben het nog geprobeerd om het met Peter Strykes te doen maar uiteindelijk is Adrian naar Whitesnake gegaan. De andere twee jongens hebben zich daarna niet onverdienstelijk in de muziek gemaakt.
Maar Bert bleef maar teren op hetgeen hij zelf achter zich gelaten heeft.
Geen problemen mee hoor. Maar als je dan een rechtzaak gaat voeren tegen de naamgever van de band om zelf onder de naam nummers te kunnen gaan zingen moet je niet verwachten dat Adrian je nog uitnodigd.
Daarnaast heb ik een aantal cd's van Bert liggen maar hem ook recentelijk live gehoord...
Een gitaar kan je stemmen en dan klinkt hij als vanouds. Maar Bert heeft lang niet meer het stemgeluid van veertig jaar geleden. Wat begrijpbaar is. Maar we kennen zat voorbeelden van bands die maar blijven doorgaan en doorgaan maar die het moeten hebben van de muziekanten en niet de zanger.
Als je nog een keer wil vlammen en de grond wil laten trillen moet je dat doen met een zanger die een flinke strot op kan zetten een vol concert lang, avond aan avond....
Ik heb Jan gehoord bij de Moonkings. En Ronnie kan het ook bij Vandenberg.....
Maar helaas Bert niet meer.
Geeft niks maar soms is het einde oefening.
Hij zingt nog wel eens met Jan Akkerman.
its not in english
wtf!!!! HOW DID HE BUY THAT CASTLE!!!!!!!!!
......money :)........Whitesnake maybe
It's not his castle, I live within 10mins of it. Heh, I drove by it on my bike an hour ago. It's owned by one of his friends. From what i know, he has his atelier/workshop there.
Subtitles please!!!! I gave it thumbs down for no subs
Great song
