Edward Van Halen: A genius, self taught guitar engineer without out fear of guitar destruction. Breaker of the guitar construction rules and a fancy fingers technical virtuoso. The G.O.A.T. The Legend. The One and Only. I can do this all day.😂🎸👍
I could NEVER find the mistake on Eruption actually....lol ..When in 1978 I first heard the the bit where Ed does the Divebomb right down on the low E before the pause I though the belt drive on vinyl turntable had snapped & the mechanism had ground to a halt.....lol
@@ericb8888 I was like -‘the belt has snapped and I was peering at the turntable to see whether the vinyl record was still ROTATING…..It WAS, but by the time I’d figured out when Ed’s playing resumed after the dip that the belt drive was alright THEN Ed started making the guitar neck sound like a BACH ORGAN with both hands on the fretboard. But I couldn’t figure out THIS EITHER because I couldn’t SEE IT to know how it was done & in 1978 I’d never seen it before.
@@walterevans2118 summed up perfectly! We should start the “ eruption- the truth “ channel where we all describe how we felt first time we heard it , Belt driven turntable snapped wins ;)

Oh yeah! This one will be awesome! I wait patiently on a daily basis for the magical moment I'll open my post box to find my copy of the 2nd edition of "Tonechaser " to have arrived. 😊
Steve So much Love 😍 Brother,, miss just hearing Edd,s Voice!!! Just so Glad U had those Tapes , God Bless you Brother and Adam all U do as well on this project thank U so much Too!! ❤️🙏🤘🎸🤠
Hi Steve, such great footage from big admirers like you!! I am a fan for life and beyond since the beginning of VH. Was last year at the childhood house las lunas street and Coldwater canyon 5150. Keep up the good work! Keep on rockin’ VH! Greetz from Holland, yes 🇳🇱The Netherlands, land of the wooden klumps and windmills 😎👌👌👍👍🤘🤘
VH played, too, thousands in the 70"s! Who's to say that the Dills got the stripes off EVH. & not the other way around. It makes sense he got it from EVH.
04:30 interesting that Templeman said he hadn't seen Ed "tapping" because the story of how Templeman "discovered" Ed playing in a club seemed to have him listening to him play long enough to see Ed doing it (?)
EVH was so fast, 32nd notes with his little finger. Eruption was capsulating of the core of the technique. Ted had only seen him 2x, then they VH were in a holdin pattern so Ted could finish the Doobies Bros.
@@SiliconMolybdenumNitrogen I said FAN Halen. They are a Van Halen tribute band. The gentleman sitting with Steve Rosen is the guitarist for the tribute band FAN Halen. I saw them a few months ago. They are really good.
@@LoyalOpposition why what? Don’t understand your question. Are you asking why I went to a tribute band’s concert? Are you asking why there is a Van Halen tribute band? Please clarify.
VH is supposed to be listened to while drinking beer, playing pool, and hanging with chicks. Not disecting each song trying to change it to be how genius it is. Even eddie said that in this interview.
Probably no better moniker for EVH than "Tone Chaser." Dude, I think, had an affliction that tormented him all his life to find the right sound. It's got to be an OCD thing. Even took it so far to build his own guitars. People just didn't do that back then. Speaking of creative OCD - Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys has spoken a lot about that creative bee in the bonnet where there is something inside the brain trying to get it out. And he writes and records a beautiful song but still it isn't quite what he was looking for. I think, adjusted for inflation, "Good Vibrations" is still the most expensive song ever recorded. He spent months on it.
was reading recently that Ed probably "was on the autism or Asperger spectrum" due to his social awkwardness & insane ability to focus on one thing so intensely.
@@steveinmidtown and those on the spectrum have a rigid view on justice and fairness. Which sounds about right. Ed always got really angry about people copying him or not giving him credit. And the growing resentment towards Michael because MA was getting 1/4 writing credit towards all the songs when it was he and Roth that did the majority of the writing. Or rather, the difficult aspects of song writing.
Edward was also a huge AC DC fan.. take a look at the clothes that ACDC were wearing in the video jail break! He probably did get the stripes from that punk guitarist though.
Awesome work guyz 🤘😎🤘Should ya bend 2 strings ascending, one string will raise in pitch while the other string will descend. It sounds pretty cool! People will certainly say, "What The FUCK"? Looks cool and sounds cool as shit!🤘😎🤘
@@rona.9731 Google: "The Origin of the Striped Design of Eddie Van Halen's Frankenstrat" "Debunking David Lee Roth's Frankenstein Stripes Origin Story"
@@rona.9731 ED would write songs and riffs MAKING FUN of PUNK and punk bands actually….lol….For instance LOSS of CONTROL on WACF…..The fast tempo and ‘loss of control’ in the lyrics are about punk bands who in Ed’s words -‘couldn’t play for sh*t’ who are losing control of their chops …lol
I love the mistakes on wacf! I sometimes wonder what it would've sounded like if it was recorded like Fair W. Or 1984! Lol, but it's my favorite! I read EVH wanted 12 string overdubs on unchained but Ted vetoed it!
You can actually see the Dills performing at The Roxy on Cheech and Chong's up in smoke during the Rock Fights and the guitarist is playing the white lesnpaul copy with black tape striped all over it.

This is a wonderful series Steve! Derek is fantastic person and player. Y'all go see Fan Halen if you want a great VH experience!
Ha! I love the 1984 "big brother is watching you" banner behind you. 😉👍

Thank you Steve…fantastic snippets behind these amazing songs ❤
Looking forward to this!
Hi Steve , just brilliant - thank you . I am off the opinion no one can ever eclipse Tonechaser and this is a pefect addition.
Probably meant that a mistake was that he played a line differently even though he still played a melody in key

Very cool, thanks for sharing!
Steve, thank you!! 🤘🍺🍺🍺🍺
The EVH stripe' came from the Boris Karloff 'Thriller' TV series
Solid Gold...did he ever discuss the riffs from ''I'm The One'' ?? That one sizzled...those are some cool guitars 🎨

Fascinating video
Ed talks about the “mistake” In Eruption during his 1996 visit to Jason Becker’s house
I think EVH said one of the mistakes on Eruption was feedback at the middle pause. The engineer had to erase the feedback!
VH is supposed to be listened to while drinking beer, playing pool, and hanging with chicks. Not disecting each song trying to change it to be how genius it is. Even eddie said that in this interview.
Yeah but ED changed the way everyone looked at playing guitar.
Well it's both, fun party rock with great tone/riffs/solos and also Genius/innovative guitar playing.
I met Eddie in 92. Did work at his new house . All I can say is….. never meet your heroes. This book kinda goes into what I’m saying.
Can you please explain why you had a bad experience? Thanks!
Great video!
What is guitarist playing through on video amp and effect wise?
Sounds just like it
What speaker is that? Sounds pretty good
Am reading the book. Thanks Steve.
I'm*

I believe "Atomic Punk" was the first track they recorded in the studio for the album.
Their version of Punk Rock!

Awesome work guyz 🤘😎🤘Should ya bend 2 strings ascending, one string will raise in pitch while the other string will descend. It sounds pretty cool! People will certainly say, "What The FUCK"? Looks cool and sounds cool as shit!🤘😎🤘
Hey Steve!
Excellent, I just wish the sound quality was better (both the from the people and the music)
Nevertheless thank you for posting
It’s on the high tapping part.
Hey Steve! Hope you are well.
There's no mistake on it because he never really played it the same way live anyway.
OMG so that one little slip up to 18th fret on just one tap then goes to the 17th is supposed to be the mistake on eruption? 😂
This is fantastic.
But what (signal chain) are we hearing?
Is that Satchel without the wig and make up ?
I don't know if they've ever been seen in the same place, at the same time 🤣
Chip Kinman is still around. The Dils have done reunion show in the past few years. Chip and his brother Tony had a great band called Rank and File.
Who's to say that the guitarist from the Dills (copied) it from EVH! Lol! Everybody was TRYING to copy EVH look & style! Even the paint stripes!
How would The Dils guitarist copy a guitar that EVH hadn't even created yet? That makes absolutely no sense at all.
@Synth Singer who says he had it b4 EVH? Is there solid proof? I'm just playing devils advocate. Co had tried copying pick-ups from that guitar.
@@ChrisP3000x No!
What's the proof?
@@rona.9731 Google: "The Origin of the Striped Design of Eddie Van Halen's Frankenstrat"
"Debunking David Lee Roth's Frankenstein Stripes Origin Story"
I'm thinking Eddie said the wrong song title because, obviously, Atomic Punk has a punk feel to it.
They had several songs like that, with an aggressive "punk" feel. On Fire is another one.
@@Afurthyclayson Fire’s solo is one of the best, along with Ice Cream Man, I’m the One, Feel your love tonight, etc.
Why do you call him Edward instead of Eddie?
respect. and that is his name
Eddie’s friends called him Edward. Everyone that I’ve ever talked to that actually knew him always called him Edward.
The timeline on the Ed /Dills stripes certainly fits doesn't it ?
Yes. Perfect for the dills to copy EVH.
@@rona.9731 ED would write songs and riffs MAKING FUN of PUNK and punk bands actually….lol….For instance LOSS of CONTROL on WACF…..The fast tempo and ‘loss of control’ in the lyrics are about punk bands who in Ed’s words -‘couldn’t play for sh*t’ who are losing control of their chops …lol
@Walter Evans Cool! I love wacf! FYI: Pop star Nicollette Larson sings on the last chorus on Could this be magic!
@@rona.9731 yes,,,ED HAD DONE GUITAR SOLO WORK ON HER ALBUM 2 years earlier I think ?
I love the mistakes on wacf! I sometimes wonder what it would've sounded like if it was recorded like Fair W. Or 1984! Lol, but it's my favorite! I read EVH wanted 12 string overdubs on unchained but Ted vetoed it!
👇 "Promo SM"
Whole lot of sniffing going on
Derek looks too much like Satchel...
