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.
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 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 :>
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 .
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
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....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
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 😢
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.
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 !!!!!!!!
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.
SADBOYMETALHOURS DID A VIDEO ON MY FAVORITE BAND BSJSHZJZ Ok I can die in peace now...thanks this is exactly what I needed today (god I love these mfs) 😩🧡🧡
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 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.
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

This genius will NEVER be forgotten
One year ago today

One year of your passing Eddie. Still cannot believe 1 year has gone by. Your music will live on for ever!
I cannot understand how everyone in the world doesn't know and love Van Halen.
1:16 the way she says honey, you can tell she loves him so much 🥺😭

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.

*ROGER TAYLOR WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION*
I was just watching Van Halen videos when the notification of this came up
What a remarkable guitar Master Eddie Van Halen
"when Van Halen tours we carry about 72 hardened criminals and a book keeper"
*the police would like to know your location*
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

Literally every time you asked for video ideas I was about to write "MORE VAN HALEN" and here you are😌🤝💖
They were such a vibe
Awww! Makes me miss Eddie even more. Thanks for the good memories ❤
I haven't watched many Van Halen vids but I loved this one
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.
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.
FINALLY SOME HAPPY VH COMPILATION!!!! THANKS MAN, YOU MADE MY NIGHT
I just started watching and I liked it💗
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!!!
THIS IS SO GOOD. thank you for brightening my day
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.
It was always a fun time when Van Halen was around!
They weren't supposed to get old.

Great collection of clips makes you wish it was 1980 again to enjoy it all over
This is an absolutely amazing edit
I have the same 1979 ovation "Kaman" Applause acoustic Eddie was playing.
Much Love
H.L.
What a FANTASTIC tribute! A visual, sometimes intimate, collage of humor and musical mastery. Everybody should see this video.... ✌️🤘RIP Eddie 🎸🎶
Miss them days 😢
Rest In Peace, Eddie. Man, I can’t believe it’s almost been a year
Thank you for this. Can’t believe it’s been a year. Still hurts.

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!
As if I couldn’t love them anymore.❤️

"Here's my drummer....aaah. I always forget his name". Oh ALEX. EPIC SAMMY
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!❤️😻👋
Miss you Eddie..!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🙏🏼❤️
I love this video with my entire soul
What a fun video! Thanks for the post! Takes the sad away.
Thank you now my crazy week just started on a happy note🤘
🎼EVH🎸🎼
Sometimes “DREAMS” do come true♥️
I wish I could have seen Van Halen with David Lee Roth
Miss u Eddie...No one compares...
Can you imagine? Those guys saw the best of the era I grew up in. Total legend songwriters and talent.
Michael Anthony is such a great person
“so i spent a lot of time in the closet” same tbh
Valerie and Eddie are the cutest.
The Ultimate Party Rockers, we miss you Eddie :(
Tysm for this
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.
The greatest band of all time.
1 year later...Eddie Van Halen died on that day
Time flies by💔
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
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. ✌
Absolutely awesome.

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😏

@@kylekenan2321 Then EVH murdered VH for 35 years (1985 - 2020).
When I’m watching this I see hundreds of likes and 0 dislikes, this makes me happy ☺️
RIP Eddie 😭
That was a great and fun compilation of a humble musical treasure, and bunch of cool fucking guys around.
