All the racism, mistreatment of women and gay people. Denying rights to coloured people and gay/lesbians. You really want to go back to that? Says a lot about you.
I was born in 2000 I’d give every single one of my life experiences to be 16 in 1982. To experience Van Halen in their youthful prime is probably better than sex
I played little clubs in the early 90's with maybe 2-300 people, tops. It was still electric and exciting as hell. 12'000 people or 20,000? I get goosebumps just imagining it. Even just being in the crowd at a show like this was a natural high. There'll never be anything like VH again)))
I remember seeing this on broadcast TV. I was barely 16. Watched Eddie do the "elephant", ran down to my room, grabbed my guitar, cranked my amp & replicated it. Immediately went into triumphant rockstar mode. Such a simple trick, but it still brings a smile to my face whenever I recall the moment.
With me, it was Alex's beat on Intruder. It may have been the first time I was able to play through a whole song reasonably not bad. I was flying all day, even wrote about it in English class. 🤘🤘✌

🎸🌹 😢FOREVER and ever... In my ❤️🎸 Eddie's still playing✝️just🙏😇 listen! 🎸🌹His sounds will never leave my heart and anyone's ! That just adored and loved them all! 🎸🌹✝️ R. I. P. We all love you!
My Friend! That’s better than many drugs on the market. And if you have some popular songs where people sing along? Forget about it! It’s euphoria. It’s almost like a religious experience.
These guys go back in the day when I went to high school I remember tuning with the devil playing slot on the radio but I was hook on Jamie crying & Little dreamer! Since then He wrote and played a lot of k ass music RIP EVH there will never be another loves you& you will always be miss Sic ing
@@eduardogarelli7740 The ONLY reason you're chatting about him is because he joined the group that is/was EVH. Never liked Sam's voice or stage presence; EVH deserved better.
Listen to my elephant 🐘 dude! He could make a guitar do anything! That sounded like a damn elephant! And I’m old school Page, Beck, Clapton guy. Eddie really was one the absolute best and greatest guitarists ever! Smokes the competition, but he wasn’t competing, he was just havin a good time!
Yes. Well put. Without to much detail . I once got invited to a party at his house. (I lived about five houses down ) and at the end of the night he pulled out an old beat up catgut ,and proceeded to play the most beautiful classical guitar I’ve ever heard before or since. The funny thing is. I wasn’t a fan , nor very impressed with all the tricks. But that night he opened my eyes to a whole new world. Learn as much as you can , love it and feel it. Then go play what you want and just enjoy every minute. Sorry you probably really don’t care. Lol. 🤦♂️🤠🎸🎶✌️
@@theofficialdiamondlou2418 He did say "one the"...you are right. I didn't pick up on that, even though I read it at least twice. One of the greatest rock and roll guitar players of all time, I'd go along with that.
In any case, you brought back that moment in time that I forgot. Yes, I remember the Live Without a Net show that you're speaking of. Seems like it was not so long ago. Truth is,,,,we're approaching 40 years ago. Time passed by so fast.
Its only as easy as you make it . See eeee it only matters if it matters to you.Dont worry about it. Just have a good time.cause all the shit is going by by quick long live the 80s,I mean long live,or live on to the 2250s
Maaaaaan, I get the chills just watching this. Like, can you imagine you're in the audience, it's packed, the energy is already high, and then BAM! The lights go out, the crowd goes INSANE, and the first thing you hear is Eddie's guitar like a freaking jet engine rising out of a deep dark canyon and blasting off. God, I envy the ones who got to experience that!
Love seeing how happy they were before going out in front of thousands of people! And when you have that much talent.....its not work! What great lives they lived!❤️🎸💙🎼
GOD , i miss him. It is strange how we miss the little things as time passes by and when its gone- we wish it could all just come back and stay Forever. RH DSD
I think this band configuration liked each other in the end. From what Sammy and Michael have said, they mended fences in the last months and had good conversations with Eddie. Great video!
O Eddie tinha 31 anos e parecia ter menos ainda, uma graca, um moleque engracado e todos alegres. Eu ri muito na hora que o Alex ficou bravo por causa do ruido irritante que ele fazia com a guitarra! KKKK!!!! Lindos tempos que nao voltam mais...fica so a saudade dessa lenda do rock. A banda Van Halen ja ficou marcada na historia e em nossos coracoes! 💚
This tour was lots of fun. I remember tons of bras and panties on stage, along with piles of sheets with messages on them and Sammy would hold them up, read them and laugh. It seemed like everyone was in party mode and completely happy. Mike had a bottle of JD and shared it with people in the front row... There was a lot of positive energy on that 5150 tour.
This is awesome. I remember seeing this a year or so after this tour. Live without a net maybe? Didn't see them on that tour but saw them at Orlando arena in 1991 for the FUCK tour and got lucky front row tickets at last minute. Got to smack Sammys hand too. Unforgettable night!
I heard Sammy say he and Eddie patched things up shortly before he passed. I’m sure they dont hate each other. Probably just needed a break from working together as long as they did. Substance abuse issues did NOT help matters either. I won’t be surprised if we see them together in a couple of years to honor Eddie and they’ll be cool with each other. Not to play, just honor their friend.
@@JayLangly let's let it be over. Its okto let van halen go. I think it would be distasteful to try and keep the band going without Eddie. Much like Pantera without dime or Vinnie
Makes you wonder what happened. 0:14 "All four just get together and total geek out." Then, their last tour they did; Dressing rooms as far apart as possible, and taking separate limos to the gig. Kinda sad.
I miss Eddie. He was a legend. Van Halen was one of the best rock bands out there. Eddie had talent, pure, raw talent. He had an ear for music. He couldn’t read music sheets, but he could listen to something and immediately be able to figure it out and play it. That’s how incredibly talented he was. He was also a loving father, good husband and a great friend. He had a pure soul and touched so many lives and was one of the biggest inspirations to guitar players. When I think a Van Halen, I think of Eddie. Eddie also had the cutest little mischievous cat eating ice cream smile. He is missed terribly be all who knew him. Cancer is a bitch and I got lucky with my grandpa. He fought hard with cancer and survived, but Eddie sadly didn’t. I wish he did though, 65 is too early to go. R.I.P Eddie, you are amazing and we miss you. Keep rocking the afterlife for us ok man? VAN HALEN BABY!!! 🤘🏻✌🏻
I know it's such a high getting ready to go on stage. I played in a cover band and I would be back by the bathrooms as my band was on stage with our drummer playing the beginning of hot for teacher. I would start in the the guitar riffs as I walked through the crowd toward the stage. Man we had so much fun, I just couldn't imagine playing crowds like VH did, RIP Eddie, thanks for being my virtual teacher....
haha ya, read sammys book on their "adventures", alex liked to pretend he was swimming on a red-hot griddle at some eating joint in cabo.,,so its written,lol.
The best part is how Eddie had his guitar strapped on literally the entire video. Something tells me that dude only took it off to shit, shower, sleep snd fuck.
Maybe not even to shit. He did a cameo on two and a half men, came out of the washroom, Charlie asked him if he took the guitar everywhere and Eddie said, yeah, never know what will inspire you. Played a riff and said, “I call that 2 burritos and a root beer float”.
why are people telling hagar to get out when this was taken like 30 years after the fact? get over it, he was in van halen. big fucking whoop, the one who made Van Halen famous anyways was eddie to be completely honest. if they had any other player, they would'nt be famous as they are now.
Eddie was a real guitarist but never bother to learn how to read music but took the guitar and use it as a translators of wonderful sound. Anyone can accomplish any skills when you put your heart, mind, body and soul like Eddie
i play in a cover band that plays all over texas (country, hip hop and rock) we do 2 VH covers and i thought what we did was crazy, now i dont feel so bad lol these guys were a big influence on my career whether its VH with DLR or Van Hagar love the music and talent that comes with them thank you VH for the great tunes and the awesome influence!
pure joy on all their faces. what was more majestic than that stage entrance? NOTHING!! This is the exact reason sam was the best for VH...that band was fun.
I good friend of mine from back in the day played in Van Halen's opening act on VH's Diver Down tour. His band opened for VH for about 30 dates. He said that he had never seen four people consume so much coke and booze in his entire life and still remain functioning. It would seem this video proves what he said.
I remember when this video was released. How cool would it have been to just be outside of the tuning room. Then the walk out to the stage and Eddie winding up the crowd unseen yet but heard!! Then Ed is the first up the stairs,. Boom.. here they go
Never forget it. It was a great time, I was 27 and I had smuggled a disc camera in and got some good shots of Eddie and DLR. I was so bummed when they broke up later that year. So sad. I only wish I had seen them on the Fair Warning tour in Oakland, but, alas, the tickets were sold out before I could get any. Oh well there here on You Tube anytime I want, young, hungry, and always ready to ROCK!!!!
The 80's, no internet, no streaming videos, no I-phones, no next-day Amazon delivery, and yet I'd still go back there in a shot if I could.
All the racism, mistreatment of women and gay people. Denying rights to coloured people and gay/lesbians. You really want to go back to that? Says a lot about you.
Me too
Me too.
For the drugs?
I was born in 2000 I’d give every single one of my life experiences to be 16 in 1982. To experience Van Halen in their youthful prime is probably better than sex
Ahh man, that moment before hitting the stage must be the coolest feeling ever. It's exciting just watching that
Absolutely
Indeed 💪💪
I bet there’s nothing like it . Knowing all those people out there came to see you.
Best job in the world.
I played little clubs in the early 90's with maybe 2-300 people, tops. It was still electric and exciting as hell. 12'000 people or 20,000? I get goosebumps just imagining it. Even just being in the crowd at a show like this was a natural high. There'll never be anything like VH again)))
Eddie lived a life that most of us could only dream of !
Rest in peace !
Well everyone can smoke like a chimney :/
They guy couldn't even tie his own shoelaces and you envy that?

Eddie could make that guitar do some crazy stuff.
Rest in peace eddie 💐🙏🙏🙏
I just think that it was so cool, two brothers got to spend so much time together.
They had such good times together. It's a shame they're not all still friends. Such a bummer.
It took Ed's terminal cancer to make it happen. :(
Such is life.
Agreed. Apparently they all treated the bassist appallingly, and 'ganged up' to deny him royalties because he 'didn't write music' though he was dignified and gracious in managing the dysfunctional relationships between different egos in the band.
@@nspr9721 Alex didn't write ( I assume). Was he duped out of royalties as well?

must've been wicked being in a band during that time
Yes My Friend . It was Amazing. No samples or pre recorded tracks. Just the band.
It was
In a h.s. band then but saw all the best concerts through the 80s
Just being in a local hair metal band was off the hook. Loved those days.
Most definitely!

Can you imagine the feeling of walking out on that stage? Gave me chills just thinking about it.
those first few seconds walking out on stage with the lights must be the biggest adrenaline rush! 12,000 screaming fans!
My Friend! That’s better than many drugs on the market. And if you have some popular songs where people sing along? Forget about it! It’s euphoria. It’s almost like a religious experience.
Eddy could really make that guitar talk! What an entertainer he was. Wow.
That's the Van Halen I remember.

Greatest is an opinion. Your opinion isn't more important than anyone elses.
Glad to see this video still up. A lot in my life has changed these last 15 years
And my energy just spiked❕
The way I remember, this was the opening to the "Live without a Net" concert as it was shown on cable, circa '87.
Nope...wrong night, wrong clothes and wrong year

Seems like it was not so long ago.
Truth is,,,,we're approaching 40 years ago.
Time passed by so fast.
Gave me chills, being on stage is a high like no other ❤🙏🎸
Idk how these guys didn't or couldn't stick together. They seemed to be so happy doing what they do. Thank you Van Halen for all the great music.
Eddie was only happy selling more concert tickets than DLR and when that stopped happening Eddie stop caring about Sammy.
I was really not into Van Hagar era of VH when it was all unfolding and now Id pay a King's ransom to be at one of these shows. RIP Eddie. True Legend
One of the best concerts I ever went to.
What natural entertainers they all were. They knew how to bring it!
I love the energy.
How incredibly amazing!!!

I think it makes sense. You're that good, being drunk won't stop you. May even make it better

I held out til the end when they ran out on stage and then it hit me. Never again. I cried.
Wish I could have been there. Looks like fun.

Best times of rock n roll ...
God bless You EVH...and rest in peace 🙏
Bun of a sitch. This shit is great. Van Halen knew how to have a hell of a good time back in the day.👍

Haven't seen this since 1986 when MTV aired it in the middle of Live Without A Net. From New Halen.

I remember seeing Van Halen in Fresno California 1980 Invasion Tour and it seems like it was yesterday. Good Times
AWESOME!!!!!!
This tour was lots of fun. I remember tons of bras and panties on stage, along with piles of sheets with messages on them and Sammy would hold them up, read them and laugh. It seemed like everyone was in party mode and completely happy. Mike had a bottle of JD and shared it with people in the front row...
There was a lot of positive energy on that 5150 tour.
Dave is a great frontman but they were more of a band with Sammy but now if they see each other walking down the street they would cross the road
