Some information for you dear Lady. Eddie Van Halen is the guitarist who played guitar on Michael Jackson's song, Beat it from the album Thriller.✌From Utah.
@camaro z28ss I live in Pleasant Grove, Utah County. Worked up at the Deer Creek mine up from Castledale. If you keep going up and over the canyon, you come out of Fairview canyon into Sanpete County. ✌👣👣👣
My first concert! My neighbor and I told our moms we were staying at each others house and drove three hours to Detroit to see them!!! It was amazing!!!
This is one of the best comments I’ve seen with a topic like this . And I’ve seen plenty of these about making love to guitars and you have nailed it 🤣
it's a modded strat... granted it's *really* modded, but thats what the vast majority of guitar players do: they take a guitar and modify the shit out of it to their own liking... or if youre Brian May you make your own completely from scratch from an old table top and fireplace
His original white with black stripes guitar- which later became the famous red with black and white stripes- was built by Eddie from spare parts, but the guitar used in this clip was from his Kramer-endorsed line. They built them to his liking, and I believe he painted them. He used to visit their factory in Neptune, N.J. to see them built.
@@GroovingPict right..... the Red Special..... with toothpicks plugging up the worm holes ..... he lost a knob off of it last month at a show and was bummed because it was an original one over 50 yrs old. I gave in and finally saw Queen (without Freddie) last week just to see and hear Brian play that thing in person and was not disappointed.
He is part of his Guitar. His Guitar is part of him. I was lucky enough to see them many Times 79 and on really. He is a prodigy. Plays by ear. Made his guitar to sound the way he wanted. No one was doing the tapping and other crazy things he did. A true master at his art. Like you said. Being from that generation, we love seeing new generations loving what we found to he just normal. Our music. Keep rocking. Oh, his ex wife said his fingers never stopped moving when he slept. Lol. Seen van Halen 4 yrs agp. HE STILL HAS IT
Someone like Eddie comes around once in a life time. I am so thankful that I was around to see his souls fly. R.I.P EVH! You and Dime are definitely playing to a full house tonight.
It is just so damn unbelievable how fast and how clean he is on this recording! He really was very passionate on this as well! Not just a million notes to dazzle and impress, he put a lot of soul into it this evening!
Every one alive needs to see this performance.. people really have no idea how amazingly talented Eddy really is.. the amount of discipline it takes to get to this “the ultimate level” is just mind blowing. When his brother Alex was on dates... Eddy was up practicing..
Me ontenz Actually, Eddie played 2 takes of Beat it and they spliced the solos together. They used the first part of take 1 and the second part of take 2. He also never got paid a dime for it.
You gotta realize that when comes to amazing guitar players such as Eddie Van Halen and his legendary skills, you have to stand *in AWE!* Keep listening to Van Halen 🤘😎
That tapping he does made they music biz change the way sheet music was written. He can't read music but every time I saw them live, I left feeling like my hair was on fire. The entire show is every bit as impressive.
I was too young to go to the show, but I did have my cousin who went buy me a concert jersey from that tour. Needless to say, I wore the hell out of it!
He's a lot older now and a lot wiser, he survived being a rock god admirably. And he can still play this just as hot and revved up as ever. And he still connects directly with the audience.
I really do enjoy your reaction videos. I love the fact that you can dissect the music and understand the meaning. And the fact that you appreciate the talent of other musicians. Music is universal.
That video was from 1986, and nobody touched Eddie in those days. He was just as entertaining to watch and listen to playing Valen songs. (Pronounced; Van Hay-len)
1) I never get tired of seeing this video 2) I never get tired of watching people react to it seeing/hearing it for the first time, especially if they are not very familiar with Eddie Van Halen 3) I love his vibe during this whole performance -- he looks like he's having so much fun doing this.
sean berthiaume that’s right, personally I like Page and Hendrix of course, but also Cream era Clapton, Toy Caldwell, Leslie West, Gary Rossington, Billy Gibbons, Betts & Allman... music was just different back then man.
This concert was August 27th 1986 New Haven Coliseum in New Haven Connecticut I was at this concert it was freaking amazing!! Eddie freaking was so awesome! I was to the right of stage great seats!!
Unreal!!! It's good to hear/see this again. It's been a while. An important thing to mention in this vid is that at 7:34 begins an entirely separate piece of music called "Cathedral" which is actually my favorite piece by him. This man literally changed everything. These types of sounds, which are common place now, were never heard before. Just amazing! There are actually quite a few other pieces touched upon in this live solo, but the two played in their completion are "Eruption" and "Cathedral". Thanks for posting. The 5150 tour, the first with Sammy Hagar, was a big deal back then.
If you watch Back to the future M.J. Fox dresses as Darth Vader and wakes his father up with a song from his walkman. it is a Van Halen solo and it scares his father to death. ruclips.net/video/BaYADHcpdng/видео.html
This is shockingly incorrect! i don't know where you read that but its not true in the slightest. van halen used to play party's in people's backyards before they were famous even lol
The best comment she makes on watching EVH doing Eruption live is "I didn't know what I was getting myself into". That pretty much sums up the first time I ever heard Eruption even just on tape for the first time. Someone brought it to me at school when I was in JR High and put a set of head phones on me and told me to listen. I was known as the "Guitar guy" in my school at that time. So my friend thought I needed to hear it. I - Couldn't - Believe - my - -ears. How was this even possible? I thought to myself. This is other worldly. Almost like the guy in Back to the Future when MJF put the head phones on his head and let it rip. I was so inspired and just had to get a hold of everything by these guys.
I'm glad the bridge is finally being gapped. Music is the universal language that binds us. I wanted to share this type of experience with the black culture for over forty years. THEY make us hate each other to feed off of our negative energy. Jimi Hendrix got it, Bob Marley sought it, Living Color brought it, Lenny Kravitz taught it. We can all get along. 😊
This is actually a medley of Eddie's guitar solo performances from various Van Halen albums. The first one was a variation of "Eruption". The second one with the chorus and delay effects is titled "Cathedral" from Van Halen's Diver Down album. This is followed by notes of "Tora! Tora!" and "Spanish Fly" from Van Halen II and Women and Children First
14:15 THAT is rock and roll, m'girl. They LOVE what they do. In nearly every rock concert there are 3 solos. The lead guitar solo like you've seen here, a drum solo and a Bass solo. Everyone gets to showcase their talent. The piece of music you heard here, Eruption, isn't exactly how it is written. It changes every time Eddie plays it. The base written music is still there, but he always improvises around it. Sometimes I think he doesn't know what he's going to play until he plays it. 2 other great guitarists you should check out are Joe Satriani and Steve Vai
My IDOL! Stood in front majorly squished against the board that holds you back. Eddie kept throwing picks out in our direction & the security guard would pocket them every time. Pissed me off. When the music stopped at one point, I screamed out Eddie's name & pointed out that the security guard was keeping all the picks. So, Eddie walks over to the guard, taps him on the shoulder & says, "Give this to that blonde right there." & pointed to me. Got my pick! Then Sammy Hager started picking at Eddie & said that if he was going to start just giving out picks like that, he's gonna have to give everyone a pick! LOVE Eddie, he's just the BEST!
I'd have to he was bad ass on that one. :) Probably the best rock guitar solo I've ever seen from one who changed the craft. You picked a good one here!!
Just sayin' -- Back then, we didn't all have cell phones to carry around...We used our lighters at concerts!! And you were also allowed to smoke in the venues during the shows!!
And general admission !!!! Wasn't NOBODY getting in front of me lol...... now *sigh* reserved seats. Saw Heart and then QUEEN last week. I miss the 70's and 80's....
@@TheRealSweetcherryo Yes, general admission...I got to see the Who with my older sister and her beau when I was 15 at the Omni in Atlanta. It was right after people had been trampled at a concert in NYC. Of Course, the Omni opened ONE door only, and it was a mad rush!!!! I probably squeezed my sister's boyfriend's hand off, but I was NOT gonna get separated or knocked down!!!
@@leeswhimsy that was how we did it back then !!!! We have some great stories and memories !! Now they are snapchatting or whatever during a show. Oh another thing we didn't have back then AUTOTUNE LOL people had real talent !!!
@Mike C no, Queen is not actually Queen without Freddie or John. Freddie was a freak of nature and a god and can't be replaced but I also love Brian May and Roger Taylor and wanted to see them before they are no longer around. And as far as I know autotune wasn't invented until 1989. I am speaking of artists from early 70's and 80's. I mean, I saw Elvis so.....I am talking way back lol
He still plays this. Only he's had 40 years to practice, and his mastery SHOWS! Check it out! He's still a cutie too. The years have been VERY kind to his appearance. ;)
The technique he is using is called hammer on and pull off. Many other guitarist before Eddie Van Hallen used the same technique but Eddie took it to a whole new level.
Eddie taught himself how to play guitar but also took lessons from country singer and former Beach Boy member Glenn Cambell who was considered a very good guitar player himself.
That was big then, everybody was talking about Van Halen, what was it, 1978, 1979, here in BElgium everybody had somewere on their clothes the logo of them, good times....
Eddie vanhalen play the solo on micheal Jackson Beat It song , check it out. he even jump on stage with jacksons and play live with them on beat it in 1984 I Dallas TX
When asked how long it took for them to gel as a group, David Lee Roth replied, "None. We were all classically trained musicians." - Somehow I don't doubt that.
Thank You for this reaction. I'm glad you liked it. If I may I would suggest that you react to the Van Halen song "Ain't Talking' 'Bout Love" for your next Van Halen Reaction. Also it's best to stay away from Van Halen music recorded between 1985 to 2005, trust me. Unfortunately during the filming of this solo you reacted to; he was very drunk and stoned when this was recorded so this solo is not even his best on RUclips. I have seen Van Halen 12 times in 40 years. I know what I'm talking about. Ed is sober now and the Solo at the Hollywood Bowl in 2015 is the best EVH solo on the net. Eddie's has influence MILLIONS of guitarists from Bedroom Bangers to Stadium Guitar Gods. The first Van Halen album literally SAVED ROCK AND ROLL from Disco and Punk, this is very well documented by many music historians. Eddie's idol was Eric Clapton when Clapton played with the band Cream. Ed's style is oozing with the Blues; Cream Style. Because the Van Halen Family was a poor family, Ed could not afford effects Pedals. He stayed home every evening for many years crafting his style in 6 to 8 hour practice/creation sessions. He learned to create the sounds that the effects stomp boxes made, but organically, without the effect itself. This dedication and determination, combined with the ability to hear details that no-one else can, are instrumental in creating this true Genius. Eddie is self-taught and does not read music. But make no mistake, EVH is the greatest Rock guitarist of all time. He is SO MUCH MORE than Tapping and Tremolo. There is not a more prolific and influential player that has come before or since. Love your take on the new to you music that you react to. I can't stop watching you videos! Please keep them coming!
Thank you for knowing Eddie and talking sense when speaking about him. My opinion is NO ONE compares to Eddie. Elvis started Rock & Roll and Eddie saved it.
Just like at Gazzari's - thinks that "Van" is dude's name. Cute. The guitar player is Edward Van Halen and Alex Van Halen, his brother, plays drums. And, yes, when Eddie plays, magic happens. Flapping the springs in the back of the guitar body or plinking the strings above the nut. . . or "Eruption" (the studio version). Or this one.
Thank you for watching

316 and eruption
My first concert! My neighbor and I told our moms we were staying at each others house and drove three hours to Detroit to see them!!! It was amazing!!!
Jon Andrews dude good call,history was made that day
Isn't that the plot to Detroit Rock City? Haha risky move being you were neighbors. But the fact you pulled it off is what Rock is made of
I've watched several of these reaction videos to this video and am routinely amazed these people have never heard of Eddie Van Halen.
Me too
My favorite...
Psychologist: Tell me exactly where Mr. Van Halen touched you.
Guitar: EVERYWHERE!
still good at 1.75x
This is one of the best comments I’ve seen with a topic like this . And I’ve seen plenty of these about making love to guitars and you have nailed it 🤣
Rumor has it, that guitar is still in therapy today.
Also... rumor is Eddie made a deal with the devil.
The devil got guitar lessons, don't know what Eddie got though
Eddie didn't have to learn guitar, guitar had to learn Eddie
The guitar learned from Eddie, what it is capable of. RIP Eddie
He built his own guitar. He didn’t like what was out there. So he built his own. Now he has his own line of guitars for sale.
it's a modded strat... granted it's *really* modded, but thats what the vast majority of guitar players do: they take a guitar and modify the shit out of it to their own liking... or if youre Brian May you make your own completely from scratch from an old table top and fireplace

This is the same guy that played the guitar solo on Micheal Jackson's "Beat It".
Mark Stewart: old news. What you don’t know, Eddie Van Halen did that solo in one take. Less then 15 minutes in the studio and he was finished.
Me ontenz old news
Me ontenz Actually, Eddie played 2 takes of Beat it and they spliced the solos together. They used the first part of take 1 and the second part of take 2. He also never got paid a dime for it.
Devin “never got paid a dime”... been there, done that... would have gotten the T-shirt but, well, see the never got paid thing
Arby Cook Same for me. Too many times to count but I’ve been fortunate enough to have made a good living in the music business so I can’t complain
You gotta realize that when comes to amazing guitar players such as Eddie Van Halen and his legendary skills, you have to stand *in AWE!* Keep listening to Van Halen 🤘😎
We lost a legend today! RIP EVH!
That's how i reacted in 1979 when i 1st heard it . I don't always listen to Van Halen but when i do so do my neighbors !
Just have to stand in awe of one of the true giants, a pioneer in the art of the guitar. Innovative af.
Glad to see young people see some real music.
those were not phones they are lighters
She's too young to know.
I have scars from all the burns. But so worth it ❤️🎶
She said fans not phones haha
That was a great comment.. lol
I had to do a double take on that comment, and started laughing. Damn I'm old. Yup, back in the stone age, we had lighters.
Best classically trained guitarist, EVER!!!!
Pianist. He could not even read sheet music. He taught himself the guitar. His dad was classically trained clarinist and saxophone player.
He's self taught. It's funny, but it seems many of the greatest are. EVH, Hetfield, Iommi..
He didn't invent "finger tapping," but he's damn sure the best at it.
yep... Even Eddie himself has corrected interviewers on the fact that he didn't "invent" finger tapping.
No, but I never heard anyone else finger tap Bach-like chord progressions.
That tapping he does made they music biz change the way sheet music was written. He can't read music but every time I saw them live, I left feeling like my hair was on fire. The entire show is every bit as impressive.
Great job - you are so right about music being art - great - I saw them in 1979 - bless you!
I saw the first two tours, amazing!
I was too young to go to the show, but I did have my cousin who went buy me a concert jersey from that tour. Needless to say, I wore the hell out of it!
He's a lot older now and a lot wiser, he survived being a rock god admirably. And he can still play this just as hot and revved up as ever. And he still connects directly with the audience.
thats why the best guitarists in the world say he is the best.....i was fortunate enough to see them live...it was incredible
Someone: So Eddie, you play classic music or rock music on your guitar?
Eddie: yes
I really do enjoy your reaction videos. I love the fact that you can dissect the music and understand the meaning. And the fact that you appreciate the talent of other musicians. Music is universal.
You really need to do other Van Halen Songs. Maybe reacts to the rest of this legendary 1st album
I was 19 when 5150 and "Live without a net "werereleased. I watch this concert a million times since then. It never gets old.
"Four Seasons" Vivaldi. Most of this solo is based on quotes and borrowings from classical music.
Nothing like seeing him perform live, I am lucky to have seen him many times.
The really wild part is that he was just messing around !!! Like you said, Just having a good time !!!
I saw Van Halen in 78.... great times.
They are on my 'bucket list'!!
That video was from 1986, and nobody touched Eddie in those days. He was just as entertaining to watch and listen to playing Valen songs. (Pronounced; Van Hay-len)
caught this band live several times in the 80's what I time to grow up, but yes I am old now
1) I never get tired of seeing this video
2) I never get tired of watching people react to it seeing/hearing it for the first time, especially if they are not very familiar with Eddie Van Halen
3) I love his vibe during this whole performance -- he looks like he's having so much fun doing this.
Congratulations, you have now seen the Guitar Hero of Eddie Van Halen.
His name is Eddie Van Halen! Loved your reaction! Thank you for letting me sit in with you again today!
Van Halen Dreams with video. Gives me chill bumps. Love your channel 🌟
He's definitely up their w/Jimmy Page Jimmy Hendrix...DAMN!
sean berthiaume that’s right, personally I like Page and Hendrix of course, but also Cream era Clapton, Toy Caldwell, Leslie West, Gary Rossington, Billy Gibbons, Betts & Allman... music was just different back then man.
And Pete Townsend WOWWW!
That Was In New Haven Connecticut ..... After That Performance They Renamed It NEW HALEN Connecticut !! 😉
They renamed it during the show. Watch the entire video. They didnt show all the songs played at the show either.
This concert was August 27th 1986 New Haven Coliseum in New Haven Connecticut I was at this concert it was freaking amazing!! Eddie freaking was so awesome! I was to the right of stage great seats!!
He NEVER misses a note! OMG!

Incredible guitar performance.Awsome choice.
New follower loved it.. All van Halen live is fantastic
He set the bar so high, practically no one does guitar solos anymore.
I love this guitar Solo by Eddie Van Halen
You’ve been Van Halenized! All Hail King Edward!🎸🤘🏽
This a FANTASTIC !
If you listen to Beat It by Michael Jackson, he does the guitar solo in that song. Eddie can make any sound with his guitar. Best ever!!
If you watch Back to the future M.J. Fox dresses as Darth Vader and wakes his father up with a song from his walkman. it is a Van Halen solo and it scares his father to death. ruclips.net/video/BaYADHcpdng/видео.html
India eres maravillosa es un gran regalo , para nosotros, adelante con tus éxitos...mmmm
Eddie didn't invent tapping but he mastered it! Truly, you just watched the greatest Rock and Roll guitar player that's ever lived! RIP Eddie ❤
man is brilliant. this performance is only the second time in his life he'd ever played a guitar. you should hear him now.
This is shockingly incorrect! i don't know where you read that but its not true in the slightest. van halen used to play party's in people's backyards before they were famous even lol
It's sad that he just passed away he is a legend. Nice vid. You should look in to more of VH every song rocks
There has possibly never been a more symbiotic relationship between a man and his guitar, than Van Halen and his.
you just saw greatness
Eddie is typically regarded as a Top 3 guitar player of all time. Very few people can do those things to a guitar. A true guitar virtuoso.
The best comment she makes on watching EVH doing Eruption live is "I didn't know what I was getting myself into". That pretty much sums up the first time I ever heard Eruption even just on tape for the first time. Someone brought it to me at school when I was in JR High and put a set of head phones on me and told me to listen. I was known as the "Guitar guy" in my school at that time. So my friend thought I needed to hear it. I - Couldn't - Believe - my - -ears. How was this even possible? I thought to myself. This is other worldly. Almost like the guy in Back to the Future when MJF put the head phones on his head and let it rip. I was so inspired and just had to get a hold of everything by these guys.
If you wanna hear another extremely talented guitarist, Steve Vai-"The Audience is Listening".
His Dave era was pretty amazing too in eat 'em and smile. More "shred" too since he was younger.
seconded! tender surrender and for the love of god are also amazing first vai songs to listen to!
I'm glad the bridge is finally being gapped. Music is the universal language that binds us.
I wanted to share this type of experience with the black culture for over forty years. THEY make us hate each other to feed off of our negative energy.
Jimi Hendrix got it,
Bob Marley sought it,
Living Color brought it,
Lenny Kravitz taught it.
We can all get along. 😊

If you were not alive back then and just watched this video it is important you realize just how BIG a band Van Halen was. They were a HUGE deal.
Every guitarist has just been schooled, hey young folks, I HOPE you paid attention!
When asked how long it took for them to gel as a group, David Lee Roth replied, "None. We were all classically trained musicians." - Somehow I don't doubt that.
Eddie Van Halen performed guitar on the Michael Jackson hit " Beat It " as well little sister.

I have seen Van Halen 12 times in 40 years. I know what I'm talking about. Ed is sober now and the Solo at the Hollywood Bowl in 2015 is the best EVH solo on the net. Eddie's has influence MILLIONS of guitarists from Bedroom Bangers to Stadium Guitar Gods. The first Van Halen album literally SAVED ROCK AND ROLL from Disco and Punk, this is very well documented by many music historians. Eddie's idol was Eric Clapton when Clapton played with the band Cream. Ed's style is oozing with the Blues; Cream Style. Because the Van Halen Family was a poor family, Ed could not afford effects Pedals. He stayed home every evening for many years crafting his style in 6 to 8 hour practice/creation sessions. He learned to create the sounds that the effects stomp boxes made, but organically, without the effect itself. This dedication and determination, combined with the ability to hear details that no-one else can, are instrumental in creating this true Genius. Eddie is self-taught and does not read music. But make no mistake, EVH is the greatest Rock guitarist of all time. He is SO MUCH MORE than Tapping and Tremolo. There is not a more prolific and influential player that has come before or since. Love your take on the new to you music that you react to. I can't stop watching you videos! Please keep them coming!
Thank you for knowing Eddie and talking sense when speaking about him. My opinion is NO ONE compares to Eddie. Elvis started Rock & Roll and Eddie saved it.
He literally invented a new way to play the guitar by tapping the strings.
Waoooo !!!!
Edward Van Halen - The King of Ten Fingers and Six Strings
U need to react to Van Halen's Jump & Panama Music Video. Eddie does his magic on the guitar too.
Theres 5 songs in this. 316, Eruption, Cathedral, Mean Street and then Spanish fly in that order, with a little improvising
Hey India,your lookin good......Yep Eddy can rip it any way he wants,good vid.
Just like at Gazzari's - thinks that "Van" is dude's name. Cute.
The guitar player is Edward Van Halen and Alex Van Halen, his brother, plays drums.
And, yes, when Eddie plays, magic happens. Flapping the springs in the back of the guitar body or plinking the strings above the nut. . . or "Eruption" (the studio version). Or this one.
