THIS is why i love this band. they never took themselves too seriously, at least not in the earlier years. they just wanted to have fun and it showed through their demeanor. the most important thing i learned from eddie was to have as much fun doing what you LOVE.
I dont agree. Behind these funny and cool images you are watching there was a tough business involved with contracts and regulations. I think it is the opposite, everything these guys did was serious and top level and the van halen brothers were the absolute owners of that boat thats why there was always a lot of tension between them and the other members of the band.
Yes indeed. I read somewhere, cannot give source, sorry, of a friend saying that Eddie and Valerie were true soulmates. They were saying everyone knew they still adored and missed each other, Valerie just couldn't deal with drug fucked Eddie any more. He was a lovely person, but he drank way, way too much and took way, way too many drugs, and when anyone is that out of their mind on substances, they are not pleasant to be around. I know, my wife just kicked me out after 20 years for being similarly unmanagable, despite us still loving each other and wanting to be together.
I haven’t even started watching this and I already know that 7 minutes of my favorite band being adorable dorks is something I need right now thank you :>
It's easy to forget just how talented these guys were. They make it all look so easy, and yet they maintain an awesome sense of humour. It must have been magic to be around them, what a great way to remember them
I know!! I was born in the late 80s and missed the three most interesting eras in this country's history (US): the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Those guys got to experience all three! I'd trade this pre/post-internet phase to have been born in the 50s any day of the week! So jelly of my parents. Dad followed Sabbath for a while as a teen and the parties they attended in their early 20s were some of the most legendary times in music (according to my Dad). Kind of a "retro-fomo" if I'm being honest
Wish I could do it all over again just to feel the double bass pound and the David banchee scream and Sammys take with Van Halen for the first time .This piece of musical history is something I’ll never forget. It’s 2 days shy of Eddies passing for a year and I know he’s still here just in a different form.Miss ya Ed .
Thank you for this. It made me laugh and it made me smile and it made me miss Eddie even though I didn’t know him. Still hurts even after a year. Probably always will. RIP Eddie..gone but never forgotten.
1978 I saw baby VH open for Sabbath. Had no idea who they were. They completely wrecked Black Sabbath😆I was a VH fan from that moment, forward. RIP EVH🙏😘
@@joepipe1010 FKN NAILED IT, VH was the best band in the world from mid 70’s to mid 80’s, FKN UNTOUCHABLE those first 6 albums and live nobody was better, seen them live for every album with DLR and they smoked every band that played with !!!!!
It's 6:45am On A Chilly Morning Here In Knoxville, Tennessee. I'm Surfing Through You-Tube, Procrastinating Hauling My Ass Outta My Warm Bed and Waking Up My Doggo and Taking Her Out to Pottie....And, Then I See EVH and I Am Transported Back to Thompson Bowling Arena in the Late Great 80's. I Was Blessed Enough to See VAN HALEN In Concert and It Was One of the Most Amazing Moments of My Life. God, Life Was So Much Simpler Back Then. None of This Bullshit Where Everyone Is So FCKN Focused on Their GD Cell Phone That They Let Life Just Pass By and Miss So Much. RIP, EVH, And Know That You Were and Will Always be The Master of Your Craft. And, You Made It Look So Damned Easy. If I'm Blessed Enough to End Up Where I Believe You Are Now, I Look Forward to Your Playing and Seeing Your Infectious Smile on The Other Side....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
6:53 - Considering what we all know now, wow, Eddie wasn't pulling any punches with his answer. No hesitation at all - just brutal honesty. That had to hurt MA.
We were so blessed to of had EVH in our world . Do you remember the first time you heard him play ?? For me it was 1978 . A friend of mine broke out a cassette and played “ Eruption “ for me . Talk about being blown away !!!!!!!!
Metheny, Di Meola and Morse were big fans for years of Edward and all made beautiful posts on Edward's passing. If these three ultra-elite guitarists respect and admire Edward, then you can bet your bottom that Edward was even better than we, the regular fans, even knew.
I have this image of Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhoades, Prince and BB King, onstage "up there" trading some absolutely unimaginable licks...and there's no telling who might stop by at any given time. RIP, Maestro Edward. Gone far too soon 😢
I love the David lee Roth years of Van Halen but it always seemed Ed looked like a native straight out of the North End of Winnipeg Manitoba that lived off of whiskey and gold spray paint.
Rest In Peace. Mr.Eddie Van Halen who is really great guitarist.We don’t forget his amazing guitar technique. I also like guitar very much. Thank you for good RUclips video.
Well today is 1 year since EVH went to the Rock party in the sky, Rock on brother. Oct. Is one hard month for VH fans, After Eddie passing and Dave retiring 😢😣
I see where Wolfgang got his humor from! ✌😎💖 R.I.P. Eddie!! Wolfgang kicking ass!! He's got talents out the wahzoo!!! You're in a better place than this Rock we're living on!! But missed so much!! Love ya Eddie! ✌😎🎸🔊🎶
Eddie Van Halen was so cute and had the most mischievous cat-that-ate-the-cream smile I've ever seen. Rest in life, man
yess
van halen, a band where *everyone* is likely comedic geniuses, fashion icons and toptier rock gods
And never answer the questions When is your next album coming out?
“ well we met these 2 chicks in Kansas City last night and ……”
THIS is why i love this band. they never took themselves too seriously, at least not in the earlier years. they just wanted to have fun and it showed through their demeanor. the most important thing i learned from eddie was to have as much fun doing what you LOVE.
Well said

1:16 the way she says honey, you can tell she loves him so much 🥺😭

I cannot understand how everyone in the world doesn't know and love Van Halen.
eddie truly was remarkable... may he rest in peace :(
One year of your passing Eddie. Still cannot believe 1 year has gone by. Your music will live on for ever!
I haven’t even started watching this and I already know that 7 minutes of my favorite band being adorable dorks is something I need right now thank you :>

Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry, but I always enjoy every moment this remarkable man gave us.
I still can’t believe he’s gone.
I so wish I had seen these guys live! Probably was a lot of fun! Thanks for the upload, sadboymetalhours, that was awesome! Rock on!
Got to see Van Halen with Dave on the reunion tour in 2007 and it was awesome

"when Van Halen tours we carry about 72 hardened criminals and a book keeper"

Awww! Makes me miss Eddie even more. Thanks for the good memories ❤
FINALLY SOME HAPPY VH COMPILATION!!!! THANKS MAN, YOU MADE MY NIGHT
Literally every time you asked for video ideas I was about to write "MORE VAN HALEN" and here you are😌🤝💖
What a remarkable guitar Master Eddie Van Halen
THIS IS SO GOOD. thank you for brightening my day
I haven't watched many Van Halen vids but I loved this one
Thank you for this. It made me laugh and it made me smile and it made me miss Eddie even though I didn’t know him. Still hurts even after a year. Probably always will. RIP Eddie..gone but never forgotten.
They were such a vibe
I was just watching Van Halen videos when the notification of this came up
1978 I saw baby VH open for Sabbath. Had no idea who they were. They completely wrecked Black Sabbath😆I was a VH fan from that moment, forward. RIP EVH🙏😘
In 1978 Vh live could blow away every band around the stage

@@djn6007 you are a very lucky man !!
VH's music (Roth era) is immortal and in 77/78 they changed the GAME. Really the band shocked the world.
What a FANTASTIC tribute! A visual, sometimes intimate, collage of humor and musical mastery. Everybody should see this video.... ✌️🤘RIP Eddie 🎸🎶
Why was him getting close to the camera the most adorable thing I have ever seen omg 😭✋💖
With all the drama that went along with the band they sure had a good time.Nothing last forever.
Great collection of clips makes you wish it was 1980 again to enjoy it all over
This is an absolutely amazing edit
Hell yeah! Hahah, love to see vids from you! :)))
God, my heart literally has ached missing Ed every time I thought of him, since he left this earth. It's like losing my best friend or something.

One thing is for sure Eddie did live life to the fullest we all miss you so much Rest In Peace Eddie
R.I.P. Edward!!! cant believe its almost a year now!!! always remembered, always missed!!!
I just started watching and I liked it💗
It was always a fun time when Van Halen was around!
What a fun video! Thanks for the post! Takes the sad away.
They weren't supposed to get old.
"Here's my drummer....aaah. I always forget his name". Oh ALEX. EPIC SAMMY
6:53 - Considering what we all know now, wow, Eddie wasn't pulling any punches with his answer. No hesitation at all - just brutal honesty. That had to hurt MA.
EVH was a nerd!
I don’t think anyone was sitting next to him. That was the joke?
There was no one sitting to his right. That's why the cameraman panned to show the potted plant.
I knew it! Michael Anthony was cleverly disguised as a potted plant.
We were so blessed to of had EVH in our world .
Do you remember the first time you heard him play ??
For me it was 1978 .
A friend of mine broke out a cassette and played “ Eruption “ for me .
Talk about being blown away !!!!!!!!
Best rock & roll band ever! Always stop to hear any music by y’all!❤️😻👋
Metheny, Di Meola and Morse were big fans for years of Edward and all made beautiful posts on Edward's passing.
If these three ultra-elite guitarists respect and admire Edward, then you can bet your bottom that Edward was even better than we, the regular fans, even knew.
I have the same 1979 ovation "Kaman" Applause acoustic Eddie was playing.
Much Love
H.L.
Thank you for this. Can’t believe it’s been a year. Still hurts.
Rest In Peace, Eddie. Man, I can’t believe it’s almost been a year
Miss you Eddie..!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🙏🏼❤️
Does anyone know what song Eddies playing to Valarie? 4:55
Believe rough beginning of Panama 🇵🇦
Its called love song, from the movie “wild life” :)
The song Eddie's playing to Valerie is " Woman In Love " off of Van Halen 2
Both Women In Love VH2 and A Riff That became Panama 1984
I love this video with my entire soul
I have this image of Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhoades, Prince and BB King, onstage "up there" trading some absolutely unimaginable licks...and there's no telling who might stop by at any given time.
RIP, Maestro Edward. Gone far too soon 😢
And Dime Bag I'll bet him and E.V.H Have already made a killer album together. ✌
@@thomasbrandt8265 No doubt!
The greatest band of all time.
Tysm for this
Miss them days 😢
Can you imagine? Those guys saw the best of the era I grew up in. Total legend songwriters and talent.
I wish I could have seen Van Halen with David Lee Roth
“so i spent a lot of time in the closet” same tbh
As if I couldn’t love them anymore.❤️
Miss u Eddie...No one compares...
1 year later...Eddie Van Halen died on that day
Time flies by💔
Michael Anthony is such a great person
Whats the song at 5:00 its great
An acoustic version of Panama. (Almost sounds like “women in love”)
thank you for this
Absolutely awesome.
The Ultimate Party Rockers, we miss you Eddie :(
Valerie and Eddie are the cutest.
I miss him, I am waiting for a new exceptional solo yet, erupting notes we never heard, like he was the only one to do them.... RIP Eddie
RIP Eddie 😭
I love the David lee Roth years of Van Halen but it always seemed Ed looked like a native straight out of the North End of Winnipeg Manitoba that lived off of whiskey and gold spray paint.

Glad I got to see them live in 1981
When I’m watching this I see hundreds of likes and 0 dislikes, this makes me happy ☺️
I know Alex was supposed to be joking but I think he really did manage the band.
No. Dave did.
@@jamesragsdale8202 I think Alex did after Dave left.
Actually the band managers managed the band😏
@@kylekenan2321Noel Monk.
@@kylekenan2321 Then EVH murdered VH for 35 years (1985 - 2020).
sammy never fails! lil mans complex
E.V.H Has already been Inducted into " THE ROCK AND ROLL HEAVEN OF FAME. R.I.P E.V.H And all the other greats. ✌
