    just so you're aware, Eddie was completely blackout drunk during this performance, to the point that he doesn't even remember doing this. That's how much a legend this man is, literally did one of the greatest guitar solos of all time and he was completely out of it the whole time; also having his eyes closed most of the performance showing how much he was just playing from the heart and his pure skill was carrying him to glory.

This is one of his best solos of all time, actually this is his best live solo in my opinion. He definitely wasn’t blacked out here. Go look up a video of him being blacked on stage

      I’ve... listened to this solo like 10+ times in the last 3 days... I passed up a chance to see Van Halen for free in 2004, because I was on a drumline and had a half-time field show to perform that night. I played 5th bass. If I was playing snare that season... I may have ditched. But playing on the Bass Line, 5th bass drum-if your are missing any bassdrum it’s like you are missing a finger while playing guitar... So... I didn’t take the last minute invite from my BF to see Van Halen in late 2004. Also...-I DID not want to get chewed out by my percussion instructor, a former member of the Blue Devils Drum Corp., whom I respected Ed immensely, and always will... But especially with this weeks tragic news regarding Eddie... and me reflecting on how I was ultimately, unexpectedly (renditioned by “escorts,” in the middle of the night [and not the type that sex you... :-/] ) and then sent to an “Elan”-type school owned by WAASP in La Verkin, Utah-just weeks after having turned down that last minute invitation to a Van Halen concert in 2004, having no idea I would be in an overpriced, fraudulent, “behavioral modification center” for teens just weeks after-literally taken in the middle of the night, early on a Wednesday morning-with 20/20 hindsight I wish I had made myself regurgitate lunch, feigned a stomach bug, and had my friend pick me up... sigh... (c” ತ,_ತ)
      Edit: Likely considered to be “depressing details” added.
      RIP Eddie.

      @@jm-rf7kl Not being able to read music for guitar is practically impossible, instead of normal sheet music, which for the untrained eye looks really hard, you use a tab, which looks like normal sheet music at first, but it has six lines, which represent the 6 strings. On these lines there’s numbers which represent on which fret your supposed to put your finger, it’s incredibly easy to read if you understand it. Using normal sheet music is impractical because one note can be played on almost every string, so on harder songs it’s practically impossible to know where to press.

    Did you miss the part where he was called 'the greatest guitarist ever'? That's not just a boast. The dude just played a medley of EVERY guitar solo from every hit record of the previous 5 years, then re-tuned it on stage, on the fly, in front of everybody, and switched up the playing to make it sound completely different. And he did it all while wired up on half a dozen drugs, so badly he doesn't even remember how he did half of this stuff. This isn't something he practiced, this is just him playing around.

      Plus Ed had input on the song not just the guitar part.

    Eddie writes one of the greatest and most mind melting solos in rock history and at the end of the most iconic part.. he gives a little thumbs up. Absolute legend!

    Now that you heard Eruption, you must listen to You Really Got Me. It's a law to listen to them back to back.

    Shaq first of all i love you your awesome and real! I was born by the Grace of GOD an " AMERICAN" Lucky as heck to be born native "TEXAN" as Van Halen song
    Says "BEST OF BOTH WORLDS "!
    I'M A 53 Year old TEXAS woman . I'm proud to say I have had the pleasure of seeing every Van Halen concert since 1984 o Dallas,Fort Worth! Even free one Sammy promised at a TEXAS JAM !In the 80's they would would play 3 sold out shows same arena 3 nights in a row!! I never missed not one at all including the 3 nighters! I had the pleasure of taking 2 out of 3 of my kids to see them ! Unfortunately Eddie died before my youngest ( 18 ) got to see them ! However in my house kids raised on Van Halen and of course the king of Rock n Roll yep ELVIS! Whom i saw when i was 10 last concert in Texas he died less than a year later. Fun fact Eddie and ELVIS only ones to make ALL 3 MUSIC HALL OF FAME! NOW as much as i love Jimmie Hendrix ,Randy Rhoades, Chet Atkins , omg Angus Young ect .... NO ONE I MEAN NO ONE COULD EVEN COME CLOSE TO EDDIE VAN HALEN! RIP EDDIE ! We will keep your legend alive! NOW he's playing for the ultimate power " GOD" .
    People don't freak if you don't believe in GOD i feel sorry for you ,but respect your decision! Now back to Eddie . I've seen this man front stage numerous times never disappoints only blows your mind. Shaq darling i get it that wasn't a yawn, brother you had to take in more oxygen before you passed ass out ! Lol Eddie is truely amazing. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN! We will love and cherish him forever! Shaq due alittle research on Eddie to much to leave in comments! You think his playing blew your mind ! He invented his own guitar to suit him and his unique style of playing ! Fan fact he did not have an acoustic guitar " WHAT I KNOW" his first one was given to him from one of the Wilson sisters . For those who don't know who they are it's a great iconic ban called " HEART"!
    Shaq l love ya keep up the fantastic work! 🤟🤟
    Fyi darling only flaw i found on ya ,you got the wrong football team hat on !!!!! Change it to Dallas Cowboys then your spot on ! Remember thier " AMERICA'S Team" 😅😅😅
    People remember right now we still have freedom of speech! This is not a platform for hate! We are Americans we can agree to disagree .. more love less hate please!!
    Piece out Shaq ❤❤❤

    Rock in power Eddie, I really regret only getting to see you live once, shortly after I started playing guitar, I hope one day to possess even just a fraction of your talent. Great video, really got me into my emotions. I really wish I could have taken my girl to see him live and to experience the magic and passion that was Eddie playing the strings.
