I saw Van Halen in June of 1981 at the Fabulous Forum on Michael Anthony’s birthday. The loudest concert I’ve been to. In 2002, I was working for Pacific Sales doing appliance installation, and I have a stop on my route that has the last name of Anthony on the order. Low and behold, as I’m pulling up to the house, there’s a guy waiting for me standing on a grassy knoll. As I approach him, he started to look familiar to me. I get out of my truck, and I say holy shit you’re Michael Anthony. I installed a washer and dryer in his house. He was so cool, and he gave my an autographed picture that I have on my wall. I miss him in Van Halen.
That’s amazing!!!!!! My brother use to live in LA and he delivered flowers to Valerie Bertinelli from Eddie. He told me last week that he met Valerie, Wolfgang and Eddie at their house in Malibu at some point when he lived out their. He told me he is going to tell me the story about it when he sees me. He moved back to Philly recently, Finally!!!! I can’t wait to see him next few days to hear the story. I’ll post it up here. Hopefully he has photos. He was in a metal band and he restores rare classic cars. Some were featured in movies and videos . My brother Nikki and I were best friends and went to all the rock and metal concerts together.
After going into shock when the morning news said,"Eddie Van Halen has died from cancer at age 65."I find myself googling everything that I can about him.I'm addicted to him.What a true rock god and introverted personality.He is incredible on the,Frankenstein guitar.I know that he is rock'n out in Rock'n Roll Heaven.
I am EXACTLY the same way. I've been crazy about him since they came on the scene in the very early 80's. Since he passed, (RIP EDDIE) I can't get enough of him.
I saw them on the "5150 Tour" back in the 80's. Come on man....the album was one HUGE hit after another! I vividly remember driving around on Hot Summer Nights with my buddies listening to that cassette - I literally wore it out and had to buy 2 more!! God, I miss those days so damn much!!!!! RIP Eddie!!!
I remember waiting day by day for VHII..It was all vinyl, then 8 track was delivered after that..Cassette was still not a thing..Those were amazing times..much better than all this instant shit thats on Apple Music..
Exactly!!! Especially from the people who were here to experience them first hand. I have a folder from 6 th grade which is from late 80s that I did a beautiful Van Halen art work on. It takes up the entire folder. Glad I kept it. I just found it about a year ago. I loved them so much, especially Eddie. I got a bright blue electric G. And l taught myself. I had piano lessons when I was young. Was never good at reading notes and learned freehand.
I was born in 68, 12-21 in the 80's, great time to be young. If I ever get a time machine I will swing by Marty McFly style and pick you up and we will go back for a while. Great time to be young, today's youth are being cheated big time.peace...........
I grew up in the 80's. Seen every band live. Whats sad is never having seen VH live. Thank you Eddie Van Halen for all the great times with your music. Im a novice guitar player, having said that....That you for all of your material that i'll never figure out how to play. RIP my friend, may GOD bless you and your family. 🤟😎🤟🍻🎸😔😔😔
My heart is soooo broken hearted. Been crying for hours. Lost my adolescent idol and wonderful musician. Love, miss, and will never forget to you Eddie🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 .
It’s heart breaking that Eddy is gone. R.I.P. Eddy. We all love you so much 💕 💗 ❤️. I cried for many hours when I heard the news of Eddy Still in shock. My heart goes out to Eddy wife and son Wolfgang
@@512banana1 Nah. You want to be born in the early 60's like me. That way I was old enough to get into all the clubs down on Sunset in the 80's, yet still young enough to party like a Rock Star and live. ;)
@@JohnDoe-nj3vj I was born in 63 and am currently 56, and I stand by my statement. :P';';';';';' LOL. I got to experience the younger scene since I was 17 in 1980, then turned 21 in 84 so I could then experience the over 21 Clubs. I got the best of both worlds.. IMHO..
RIP Eddie!! Us true rocker's will never forget what you did for rock n roll!! You took it to a whole other level!! I saw Sammy live after you guy's broke up, but I never got to see you.. Rock on Eddie, I know your in rock n roll heaven.. 😥❤️✌️
I got to see the early Van Halen from 78 to 84 tours and cannot believe we will never see another one again accept on video. It was the best time to be alive.
I was part of the crew/security for a show Sammy did right after he left/quit/fired from VH back in 96 He was my idol and couldn't have met a more laid back and welcoming chill dude.
Never got into the drama. I've been married and divorced. Just love great guitar , bass ,drums, vocals,and great songs. Both versions of Van Halen delivered . Love Dave and Sammy. Never understood the negative comments. Be thankful for any music . It's down to what you like. Alex and Michael definitely need more attention. That doesn't matter either, because the fans know. Ignore that Rock and Metal doesn't get the headlines. The fans know.
Sammy has energy that just doesn’t stop. He brought new life to this band and the records are proof of that. I saw Sammy in 81 in his home town and then again at the Fab Forum in Los Angeles in 83. Two of the best concerts of my youth. Ever grateful that I was able to do that with my best friends as a teenager. Rock on Brenda!
Fair Warning tour 81 in the Omni Atlanta, Ga. ....was like seeing the beginning of life after the big bang, completely changed my life, Greatest concert of all time!!!!!!!!!!
Van Halen was with me from the day I was born, first steps, school, teen years, early adulthood, adulthood, and it hurts loosing Eddie..But I guess we all know everything must come to an end, even our lives! It just sucks knowing Eddie Isn’t here on earth with us anymore!
I think Michael Anthony is a very underrated bass player. In eddie Van Halen's interviews he is always so quick to bad-mouth Michael Anthony but the truth is he was just as much of a driving force as any of the brothers were and that's a fact
I was never so happy than when Sammy AND Michael left and started ChickenFoot. Nobody has a voice like Michael's and I don't care how good Wolfie is, he'll never be as good as Michael.
When their first album came out my husband bought it we listened to it over and over so great still is rest easy Eddie no more pain just pure heavenly peace rocken with all the bad asses experienced your concerts here on earth I'll be in heaven one day front row ✌🤟🎸🙏❤💯😇🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
I loved seeing the band this way. No talk about lawsuits or bad mouthing other members. Just the guys being the guys. Like Sammy said, I got older, but my brain stopped developing around 15.. I feel ya Sammy.. Miss the 80's and being in my late teens through most of my 20's for it. One more time through the 80's ride please. Now that was an E-Ticket Ride!!! ;)
Eddy your are always going to be missed , named my second son after their first road manager who was a great friend whos also gone . Hopefully his back with Eddy.Rest in peace Eddy and Ben
@@vicesquadpunk True. I saw Adrian Belew on a King Crimson reunion tour in the mid/late 90's - the guy was/is simply an amazing musician and entertainer
You were, always have been, and always will be my Hero Eddie. You were the one that got me into music, and you were the one that made me pick up the guitar. I love you and miss Eddie! Rest In Peace Eddie.❤🎸🤟🏻

Yeah time changes all fame fortune. Alot happen fast for a young Ed and Alex Van Halen. Language,different country poor and poof instant fame fortune attention. Just wish they all could bury whatever BS is going on all and JAM. Sam Mike Al and Ed. Hard to believe Sammy is 70 guy just kicks ass. Bring back those hot summer nights.....life is way to short get back in 5150 and crank out some tunes. I know us die hard fans would love that....... Stay healthy..
@@theprofessorfate6184 This Drunk Eddie was at least not out of control, like the 2004 one. I see what you`re saying though. Watching this Rockumentary years ago, these guys looked liked the happiest band ever created. Glad I got to see this lineup on the FUCK tour and the 2004 tour. VH will always be my favorite band no matter what.
I’ve been looking at all this stuff all week I really started crying looking at the solos Howard stern said it best that genius is gone , I am glad Sammy and Eddie made peace
In 88 July I think it was.I met 3/4ths of Van Halen in Denver at Embassy suites Mike,Alex,and Eddie(the Murtha fuckn man)Van Halen.they were the nicest most down to earth guys u could ever meet.God bless and rest in peace Eddie.And my deepest sympathy to his son Wolfgang and the rest of his family. You will be greatly missed sir we love u .
There are not very many artists that in a 100 years down the road that their name will still be known Eddie Van Halen is one of those artists that his name will be known 100 years from now!
Before I saw this video, I had never heard what Eddie's voice sounded like. I just feel a sense of sadness knowing now that only after his death I know what he sounded like...
Eddie's unique skill was not the flash playing of things like Eruption, etc----- but beyond that it was his infinite compositional inspiration----- there would be more musical structure in any 8 bars of any one of his songs than there is in 90% of songs written by other bands. guitar or piano -- didn't matter -- he fit chords and rhythms and melody together more like a classical composer than a guy writing rock songs-- listen to Dreams --- each song is a harmonic little journey through the Elysian fields of the celestial music that was always playing in his head- ----- his ability to capture these fleeting impressions from that inner world was the result of a lifetime of dedication and discipline -- that's why there may be a lot of flash guitar players come down the pike, but there will never be another songwriter composer and arranger and performer like Edward Van Halen. entropy has taken over the gene pool.
September 16th and 17th 1976 whiskey gogo I was there it's nice to see Eddie facing the audience when he plays guitar when he was signed up with Warner Brothers love you always remember Phil slaymaker
Thanks for the comeback from September 16th 1976 before the days Eddie Van Halen always played guitar with his back towards the audience wow David Lee Roth your uncle's club upstate New York party Town I used to live in Rochester New York rrrrrrrrrrr⛵😎
Truth be told, Hagar is a legend! When I think of Montrose, I think of Hagar as a front man! I don't feel that way with Halen! David Lee Roth was and forever will be the lead singer of Van Halen!
Talking bout summer nights... August 1980 San Juan PR. My first concert WACF world invasion tour... ($12.00 ticket) Summer 2015 Cuyahoga Falls Ohio, my last Van Halen concert ($250.00 plus...ticket) Thanks to them I’ve been playing drums and keys since 1980. Rest In Peace Ed.
I was there when Cameron Crowe hung out at my high school researching the material for Fast times. The 2 people that he based the character on that was Mike Damone were nothing at all like that. Spicole. S was the combo of 3 people Jeff Nicoli, Jeff Gauci and one other I cant remember. They were much more of a fit.
Thank you Mr. Van Halen for the music you gave us, in my honest opinion there are eight wonders of the world and you are number one, thank you for coming to charlotte, nc, pnc arena 2015, and rendering the best musical performance I ever witnessed with your axe, you didn't pass away, you just morphed into your music, you truly are the musician we needed but didn't deserve, thank you, I love you sir, God bless you.
Did you catch Eddie and Sammy warming up backstage Eddie makes his guitar sound like a horse and then an elephant trumpeting. Just a quick example of why DLR calls him the "guitar hero"! RIP EVH. We will miss you! JR
that record by Brand x in 1980 is called "Do They Hurt", and he used an arpeggio from one of the tunes on that record called "Voidarama" partially in his guitar intro on 1984's Top Jimmy. I knew it the first time I heard Top Jimmy back in 1984-86. John Goodsall is the guitarist in Brand X that EVH took the idea from. The good ones borrow and the great ones steal!!
Eddie will be missed! Saw them back for the Monsters of Rock, NJ freaking amazing!! So glad I had the chance to listen to the master of guitar 🎸 eruption freaking amazing... thanks for ride! 🎶🎸❤️✌️

Fuck dude. Awesome.I live in New Zealand so don't see "any" famous rockers
I STILL don't get why they fucked him over, & why DLR never defends him. 😡😡😡😡
With all due respect, his last name was Sobolewski. I wonder why he would put Anthony on the order. I mean, Anthony is easier to pronounce.
Anthony was my favorite
That’s amazing!!!!!! My brother use to live in LA and he delivered flowers to Valerie Bertinelli from Eddie.

EDDIEvan helen so talented in onways didnt even know how talented really is! RIP EDDIE BEEN MIST SR! WOLFY BLESS TO FAMILY! TOO!
van halen without michael anthony in that harmony doesnt sound like van halen . his voice contributed more than people think
Well someone has to sing since that old fool they have now on lead vocals has no idea.
rubbish, get over yourself.
Chris I think the only people that dont realize that are Eddie and Alex.
Your exactly right !!

Can’t believe your gone . Van Halen/ Hagar is my favorite. Miss you Eddie. Your the best.
Man it’s so hard to wrap my head around that he’s actually gone now,
Yeah? Go back again and watch how he has cigarette and/or drink in his hand in 95% of the clips.
@@Phaedrus27 George Burns smoked cigars and drank martinis all day every day and lived to be 100
I still feel exactly the same way, Nate. It just doesn't seem real that Eddie is no longer here.

Miss everything about those days !
Thank you. Same past. You hit the nail on the head. Thanks again 😊👍😊👍
I remember blasting 5150 everyday on my boombox. I miss those days too!
It was the first clear cassette too,,Remember them?? Growing up in the 80’s being in high school ruled
I remember waiting day by day for VHII..It was all vinyl, then 8 track was delivered after that..Cassette was still not a thing..Those were amazing times..much better than all this instant shit thats on Apple Music..
R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen gone but you will never forgotten 😢💔🎸😭
Exactly!!! Especially from the people who were here to experience them
first hand. I have a folder from 6 th grade which is from late 80s that I did a beautiful Van Halen art work on. It takes up the entire folder. Glad I kept it. I just found it about a year ago.

VANHALEN 4 EVER
I just can’t stop crying. RIP EDDIE VH
Pray People 🙏. In the middle of all these. PLEASE pray people !!!!!!
Wanna bet his death certificate says "Covid19".
Thanks EVH for providing the soundtrack to my youth, RIP.
The perfect saying! In concert! Movie soundtracks! Up to twister! Maybe more than I know. What a blessing for VH! Any genera of them!
I’d love to have a time machine just to go back to the 1980’s..
I saw Van Halen 2 times in the 80's in Sherveport and that's where Eddie and Valarie met
I was born in 68, 12-21 in the 80's, great time to be young. If I ever get a time machine I will swing by Marty McFly style and pick you up and we will go back for a while. Great time to be young, today's youth are being cheated big time.peace...........

Same
I can't stop either...whats wrong with me??
You are not alone brother
Thank Goodness I saw him live twice. Once with Roth in OK City, Then memphis at the Pyramid with Sammy! What a concert!!!
You and Jamie.
This band was the sound tack of my adolescence!!! OMG Eddie will be missed!!! Never be another Eddie!!!

Favorite era of VH, they seemed so happy and to be enjoying everything and each other.
Mine Too. I couldn't stand Roth and his ego.
I grew up listening to vanhalen, and Eddie's guitar kept me going. I'll never stop listening, and his son Wolfgang, plays just like his father. 🎶❤️🙏
But he will never be as good as his father.
Watching this brought tears to my eyes..Eddie was such a happy soul 💛 he was such an inspiration 💗
Actually one thing is in front of the cameras and another thing is behind closed doors.

I feel sorry for his widow, Alex, and Wolfgang.
Goes without saying Wolfe and Valerie are grieving, but the brother must be devastated.
It's just hitting me a few months later, but the more I read about this kind, compassionate genius, the more I feel the loss. SO sad!! 😥

I'll always treasure that moment when I seen these guys, in person, at the Pontiac Silverdome in June 1988. R.I.P. Eddie🙂🙏♥️
How can anyone not LOVE Sammy’s energy! 💚.
And his hair!!!
Sammy has energy that just doesn’t stop. He brought new life to this band and the records are proof of that. I saw Sammy in 81 in his home town and then again at the Fab Forum in Los Angeles in 83. Two of the best concerts of my youth. Ever grateful that I was able to do that with my best friends as a teenager. Rock on Brenda!

Saw the Hagar VH lineup and it really felt like we were partying with them. The crowd was hammered and so were they. Esp Mike and Ed
I love both van halen and van hagar. Also, I recently saw Sammy w/ the Circle and it was amazing!
I can't believe he's 71 and rocked it hard .... Mike Anthony too awesome show
The name "NEVER" !!! changed.
Jaxon Bonham makes any band better. He knows rock n roll drumming like few others
I saw the Circle and Hagar sounded like crap and Vic trashed the old VH spings, struggling to play Ed's stuff.
It was a huge disappointment.
@@Rob-dp3vr Maybe get your hearing checked Sammy has lost nothing when it comes to his voice and singing.
The level of entertainment is at 11 with these guys.

I get a sense that they are very professional. Even their joking is reserved and designed to keep their personal life private. Great fricken band!!
I think Michael Anthony is a very underrated bass player. In eddie Van Halen's interviews he is always so quick to bad-mouth Michael Anthony but the truth is he was just as much of a driving force as any of the brothers were and that's a fact
I agree very underrated great musician great backing vocals as well
@Will E. Fisturgash BEST album!
Michael Anthony's vocals gave the group an almost haunting sound that no other band had. To bad EVH ego got the best of him.
I was never so happy than when Sammy AND Michael left and started ChickenFoot. Nobody has a voice like Michael's and I don't care how good Wolfie is, he'll never be as good as Michael.
@@roxannemoser I agree, although I had completely forgotten about ChickenFoot. Thanks for the reminder.. ;)

Chris Paneesh those are the same two tours I saw them on also
I’ve been looking at all this stuff all week I really started crying looking at the solos Howard stern said it best that genius is gone , I am glad Sammy and Eddie made peace
80’s ... best musical era ever ! ❤️ Tkss Eddie ! 🙏❤️
I love how Ed sometimes played things so awesome that he couldn't replicate it! 😎🎸
Van Halen = innovators/geniuses and Rock Royalty
100% YES!
I am so happy that Eddie and Sammy Patched things up
I got to see Van Halen 2 different times. Each with Sammy and Eddie. Miss you Eddie. Thanks for the memories.
Sammy’s words as a collective “we’ll never break up/always be together”...famous last words...sad.
In 88 July I think it was.I met 3/4ths of Van Halen in Denver at Embassy suites Mike,Alex,and Eddie(the Murtha fuckn man)Van Halen.they were the nicest most down to earth guys u could ever meet.God bless and rest in peace Eddie.And my deepest sympathy to his son Wolfgang and the rest of his family. You will be greatly missed sir we love u .
Hello dear how are you doing over there ?
we miss you eddie
Ok I'm still in love with these guys!loving ur music.
There are not very many artists that in a 100 years down the road that their name will still be known Eddie Van Halen is one of those artists that his name will be known 100 years from now!
Before I saw this video, I had never heard what Eddie's voice sounded like. I just feel a sense of sadness knowing now that only after his death I know what he sounded like...
What a dedicated bassist!!! I'm very sorry Michael!!! You were done wrong!!!! Rip Edwin
Edwin?
I miss THAT band
Back when they had fun doing it. Love these jerks.
Eddie's unique skill was not the flash playing of things like Eruption, etc----- but beyond that it was his infinite compositional inspiration----- there would be more musical structure in any 8 bars of any one of his songs than there is in 90% of songs written by other bands. guitar or piano -- didn't matter -- he fit chords and rhythms and melody together more like a classical composer than a guy writing rock songs-- listen to Dreams --- each song is a harmonic little journey through the Elysian fields of the celestial music that was always playing in his head- ----- his ability to capture these fleeting impressions from that inner world was the result of a lifetime of dedication and discipline -- that's why there may be a lot of flash guitar players come down the pike, but there will never be another songwriter composer and arranger and performer like Edward Van Halen. entropy has taken over the gene pool.
Eddie was very athletic in his prime, ripped arms.
Yeah, and yet he manage to play perfectly.
And to think that Ed was every bit as good a songwriter/composer, as he was a lead guitar player....
That's a whole lotta talent, right there.
Really love all these great interviews. Thank You, Eddie.
Eddie was Van Halen. CAN never replace him. Tip
True, but so was Roth? The two worked musically!
Ironically, David Lee Roth is Van Halen more than either Van Halen brother, or the young one on bass.
Sammy in a good hair phase here too, when it’s long. Eddie at his cutest.
September 16th and 17th 1976 whiskey gogo I was there it's nice to see Eddie facing the audience when he plays guitar when he was signed up with Warner Brothers love you always remember Phil slaymaker
Thanks for the comeback from September 16th 1976 before the days Eddie Van Halen always played guitar with his back towards the audience wow David Lee Roth your uncle's club upstate New York party Town I used to live in Rochester New York rrrrrrrrrrr⛵😎
Great footage!! Van Halen RULES!!!
Could'nt agree more mate.
Yeah, they used to...
The song has ended but the melody lingers on.
Thank you for sharing yourself & your talent with all of us Eddy.
AINT TALKIN BOUT LOVE ---- RIP --- EDDIE
I enjoyed watching this. Thanks
man....tearing up a little here....love it..rip EVH!! the king
OH BOY STOP THE CLOCK ! JUST WANNA ROCK / BRAVO TO 4 GREAT GUY'S AND TO A DIAMOND IN THE SKY .. A LEGEND VAN HALEN R.I.P IN HEAVEN VAN HALEN .BRAVO.
Truth be told, Hagar is a legend! When I think of Montrose, I think of Hagar as a front man! I don't feel that way with Halen! David Lee Roth was and forever will be the lead singer of Van Halen!
Bam... mic drop. Well said..
PS. Love me some Montrose!! ✌️💜
Nailed it !!! Don't like van hagar at all !!! Roth was the front man 👊
DLR- Lead Singer on the VH albums
DLR - Lead Dancer in the VH Concerts
Aint Talkiin Bout Love, that is the real VH sound to me.
God bless Eddie Van Halen. God bless and God rest his soul. May his music live forever!
He's immune to the winds of time.
The Dutch Master did a Heavenly job. 😂
Talking bout summer nights... August 1980 San Juan PR. My first concert WACF world invasion tour... ($12.00 ticket) Summer 2015 Cuyahoga Falls Ohio, my last Van Halen concert ($250.00 plus...ticket) Thanks to them I’ve been playing drums and keys since 1980. Rest In Peace Ed.
Alex Van Halen/Mike Damone from Fast Times At Ridgemont High???
Robert romanus played Mike damone in fast times.
Hilarious . You nailed it !
I was there when Cameron Crowe hung out at my high school researching the material for Fast times. The 2 people that he based the character on that was Mike Damone were nothing at all like that. Spicole. S was the combo of 3 people Jeff Nicoli, Jeff Gauci and one other I cant remember. They were much more of a fit.
I thought I was the only one who recognized that, but absolutely correct man!
spooky call!
Why people have this infatuation for alcohol and drug abuse is mind blowing. They must know the story will not end good.
Because it makes us feel goooood
@@morningstar577 do the hangovers feel good?
@@thetruthhurts6652 yes and then we just do it all over again.
Thank you Mr. Van Halen for the music you gave us, in my honest opinion there are eight wonders of the world and you are number one, thank you for coming to charlotte, nc, pnc arena 2015, and rendering the best musical performance I ever witnessed with your axe, you didn't pass away, you just morphed into your music, you truly are the musician we needed but didn't deserve, thank you, I love you sir, God bless you.
Sammy is Awesome!! Seen him many times!! Even got on stage with him for Marching to Mars!! Always been my Favorite!! God bless you Sammy
Did you catch Eddie and Sammy warming up backstage Eddie makes his guitar sound like a horse and then an elephant trumpeting. Just a quick example of why DLR calls him the "guitar hero"! RIP EVH. We will miss you! JR
Better times. History, hope Ed's doing well.
He has just passed away :( R.I.P
that record by Brand x in 1980 is called "Do They Hurt", and he used an arpeggio from one of the tunes on that record called "Voidarama" partially in his guitar intro on 1984's Top Jimmy. I knew it the first time I heard Top Jimmy back in 1984-86. John Goodsall is the guitarist in Brand X that EVH took the idea from. The good ones borrow and the great ones steal!!
Eddie will be missed! Saw them back for the Monsters of Rock, NJ freaking amazing!! So glad I had the chance to listen to the master of guitar 🎸 eruption freaking amazing... thanks for ride! 🎶🎸❤️✌️
