I shook Eddie’s hand. He had a strong grip. A grip built up over years of playing lots of guitar. There’s no magic black box. Ed put the time in to get that good.
@@josephq2228 Ed and Mike were short. I thought they would be taller. I got to talk with Alex for a few minutes. He just was a normal guy. None of that rock star attitude.
I only saw him once in person. He said that people cop his style because they can't cop his feel. He was very right about that. He is truly a one in an eternal type person and guitarist. He was a true all around musician. Thank GOD we got to know him. Uncle Ted (Nugent) thought he had a little black box or something but Eddie played from the heart. It was all him - no tricks or nonsense!
My buddy and his brother hung with him down port ( port Jefferson) when he was getting cancer treatments back in the early 2000s. He was a regular dude
I'm almost 50. Me too. I still cry sometimes when I hear a certain song and it just re-hits me that he's gone. Watch the video of his visit with Jason Becker...instant tear-jerker.
Ed, Edward or Eddie. aka - Waldo "the atomic punk" let me tell you about that guy...this guitar magnifico Eddie Van Halen. o k, is and will always be..the coolest nerd to ever existed. tell DLR he can quote me on that.
Stop making up nonsense I love Eddie Van Halen and his playing so much but this does not sound good. What makes it even worse is Sammy Hagar bellowing in the background. Eds style does not fit the song at all.
He got the inspiration for tapping from Page. And, the only "disrespectful" thing he ever said about Page was true as a critique of his live playing. Ed would ironically go through his own struggles live in 2004. But, Ed never didn't disrespect him as a musician or producer. They actually met several times, and Jimmy has been very complimentary of Ed over the years.
Depending how the transition of the scenes are one is just a regular solo notes that he plays during a solo act on stage and the other one is from the song "I'll wait" off the 84 album
While I have no doubt that the Wolfgang was an extremely lucrative venture for Eddie, building a guitar out of basswood is about as bad of a decision as one could make!
Well I'm not a structure engineer or a carpenter of any sort so I wouldn't know the difference between basswood or regular wood or plywood or anything of that nature. LOL.
@@andrewleigh3 What was Eddie Van Halen's guitar made of? An early version of a Superstrat, the guitar was made from a Northern Ash Stratocaster body, with pickup routing which Van Halen modified to fit a Gibson PAF humbucking pickup in the bridge position. The guitar has a maple neck and fretboard, chrome hardware, and was painted with a white over black design.
Lol.. This argument has been going on since mid 80's one solo got him his whole career. He's not my GOAT Page is . All you Jimmy haters out there since it's a EVH video how many Diamond albums did EVH produce??? JS ROCK ON GUITAR FREAKS🤘🎸
Save this video folks, you’ll never see or hear this again. RIP Eddie Van Halen.🙏
Often imitated…… Never Duplicated….. The one and only Eddie VanHalen!
The best of all time! Drop the 🎤

Most of us blue collared guys have strong grips. Comes with the territory.

Ed always had a cooler riff then everybody else and we loved him for it. We all miss you Ed. RIP
I was such a fan growing up that my family and friends texted me the day he died to see how I was doing. Eddie had that kind of impact!
Man, that "I'll Wait" live was awesome... Love those deep tracks on 1984!!!
RIP to the guitar god of our generation the 🐐 Eddie Van Halen
Maybe of all time
I'm 64 now, I cried when I heard he died.
Me Too 😥
Me too.
I'm almost 50. Me too. I still cry sometimes when I hear a certain song and it just re-hits me that he's gone. Watch the video of his visit with Jason Becker...instant tear-jerker.
This one was rough.
@@richevans609 yes it was
I’m digging the Dime squeal at the end.
The Dime Squeal is the Eddie VAN HALEN squeal. He was doing this before Dime picked up a guitar.
Saw Van Halen many times. Always freaking mind blowing.
You were lucky bro!! Sadly I never got to see them live.
That Farm Aid concert was killer!
Ed, Edward or Eddie. aka - Waldo "the atomic punk" let me tell you about that guy...this guitar magnifico Eddie Van Halen. o k, is and will always be..the coolest nerd to ever existed. tell DLR he can quote me on that.
The guy has future. Hope he could join a band soon!
Great vid. Thank you 🙏
Thank You 🙏!
The best to ever do it
He could make any song sound good with his sweet Van Halen touches master six string king
1:46 😂😂😂 Eddie the best!!!! R.I.P./// Legends never die😢😢😢
Just brilliant 🎵🎶🤘
EVH = GOAT
Thanks. I needed that!
Man he looks super ruff in the last clip . 😵
RIP EDDIE!!! 😢
Eddie was great he changed it all but once you play through a 1000 watts some of that was easy but he give it hell yeah 👍😁🎸
The best to ever lose his mind in it....Eddie = Darth Vader....it's that simple and clear
Eddie's passing sucked... Especially at that time. The World wasn't ready for that one.
💜☝️🥰👍🕊️
0:00 to 0:56
Farm Aid 1985
Not bad for an Indonesian kid from Holland.
In part, I believe (wtf do I know?!) got it from his Dad 's DNA...
Thought GE Smith Died his hair black in that last clip!
I'm trying to hear a slightly flat or sharp note on that live outro. There isn't one! Repeated listens, he just keeps sounding better!

Who cares what kind of wood . Stop arguing. Its Edward playing shhhh
Who's arguing? He describing what Eddie used to build his Frankenstrat! And it ain't stopping anyone from hearing the master at play!
@@vincentlussier8264 shhhh
He was so disrespectful towards Page and yet he played his song on stage.

What's the name of the song of which he plays solo at 1.56?
Depending how the transition of the scenes are one is just a regular solo notes that he plays during a solo act on stage and the other one is from the song "I'll wait" off the 84 album
I'll Wait off of 1984.
Christ I'm old 😆
Talk about not playing in Key. Imagine if he paid attention to music theory class
it is sarcasm, isn't it?
Wait was Dave performing a Sammy song at the end there? No way
No. That was a Dave song "I'll Wait" from 1984

@@seereadnhear It does not take a structural engineer just a musician with an ear to realize that basswood guitars sound like crap. “LOL” 🤪
John Petrucci’s pro model is also basswood. Guess you know better than him and EVH
@@denniswilliams2385 I'm trying not to argue, I wouldn't know the difference between, I just enjoy what I listen to.
@@dalandser562 Eddies personal guitars were not made of basswood, that was a production model choice that was strictly a cost saving measure.

Man sammy just doesn't have the style. Doesn't matter how good he is.
Yeah I was never a Sammy fan either..
good guitar bad person
He was really talented but incredibly overrated IMO, and a prick according to most who knew him
Theres a lot of people who would disagree.
Boring
Once again Eddie plays the same solo he's played in every other song. Just sayin
You infer he is a one trick pony? Mr. Via, Satriani, Pettrucci etc. would disagree. I would go with their opinions rather more educated than yours.
You play what works and what the fans love
