I'm loving your reaction. I would have loved to take you to see that show.
He built that guitar and it evolved over the years into what you see there. That was the end result. He called it a Frankenstrat. Now you can actually buy one from Fender. Just Google Frankenstrat. He was always searching for what he called the brown sound. No guitar had it so he took old parts and throw away bodies from Fender. Put a double coil humbucker in the bridge position. The pickup near the neck isn't even hooked up.
the fact that he was blind drunk when he did this makes it more impressive
Eddie for me, wasnt the most technical player or even the cleanest but instead to me Eddie represented the pure JOY of electric guitar..
i dont know how to explain... but his guitar always sound like it was having fun..
i saw him live twice
once with david lee roth as the front man and once with sammy hagar
Eddie didnt make sound effects for moviea but he did do a few songs for soundtracks. Twister is one of the most notable with "Humans Being" and "Respect the Wind." This performance was one where he combined a lot of his guitar solos from different compositions into one performance.
Eddie laid the foundation for everything Steve Vai did (I'm a huge fan of them both as well). When David Lee Roth left Van Halen Steve Vai became the new guitarist but at the time he was quoted as saying "only a fool tries to compete with Eddie Van Halen." as Vai knew he was essentially tasked with filling the same role.
Eddie hit and plucked every area of the guitar to get different sounds from it. No body since has ever made the guitar as versital spunding as Eddie Van Halen. He was self taught and didn't follow the "by the book" approach that 99% of the guitarists have done so his imagination really shined through.
Steve Vai is a talented guitar player, but when a guy like Steve looks to EVH as one of his inspirations you must take notice! RIP Eddie, you are the GOAT and your music will live forever!
i prefer eddie to jimi and i love jimi!
Steve Vai is a very modest person . He was one of the very very few guitar players that can duplicate Eddie's playing .
@@akfreed6949 What Vai was never able to duplicate was playing virtuoso guitar parts that were catchy enough for the masses. Vai was always more of a guitarist’s guitarist.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s a total badass. But Eddie was making better music.
@@G_Demolished He could go note for note on any Van Halen song , just can't duplicate Ed . Almost no one could . Steve Vai is better than most guitar players .
Yeah, steve vai learned most if his techniques from Edward. Steve us excellent, but doesnt even approaxh the creative talents and technical accuracy of Edward. I wish God hadnt taken Edward away from us so early......
Keep in mind, Van Halen's debut album came out in 1978. Every guitar player since then has been influenced by Eddie Van Halen since. He was a living legend. No one had ever guitar playing like that before.
Well said. Completely new musical territory. As debuts go, it was hugely important.
The true sign of greatness is when everything before you is obsolete and everything after you bares your fingerprints
@@nmt2k2hear, hear!
Yes and no. They way he played yes.... but tapping had been around for years before Eddie used it. Nonetheless he innovated the everyone looked at how to play guitar.
That's true 💜
Millie, you're the ONLY reactor I have ever seen who noticed that he was turning the volume up and down with his right hand during that "cello" section. Good job.
Same!!! I have only seen one other person in reactions notice that and he was also a guitarist... *If you know, YOU KNOW!!! lol*
Same. That impressed the hell out of me.
Yeah , I quickly noticed that with her too . That's how he described the way he did Cathedral in guitar magazines .
Then look to Jeff Beck, volume control and whammy bar and playing simultaneously. Both are legends. ❤
Do not listen to "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". Don't do it.
I wished more realize his brother's awesome drum set in this video and that Alex was just as talented as Eddie was.
All the solo's on this tour were epic. I was fortunate to see them 3 nights in a row on this tour. I had not seen a show that good before or since. These were 4 very accomplished musicians in their epic prime. RIP EVH!
All the ORIGINAL fans always knew this . Just as Mike being a great singer as well as a bass player .
@@akfreed6949
Ed is on video record saying there wouldn't have been VH without Michael.
I think it was a very sweet comment and one I'd like to show Michael one day. It's floating on you-tube here somewhere.
People give ED flak for saying this or that , but watch that video Ed says it plainly how important Michael was to the band.
@@TheAgentAssassin Ed played bass on a Sammy Hagar song for Over The Top . While promoting , Ed lied when he said he was new to bass and he praised Mike's bass playing .
Alex was great. Smooth jazz locomotive drumming but he was not "just as talented' or revolutionary. Knew how to drum around Eddie's busy compositions and constant fills. No other drummer could take Alex's place or do as well.
There's no other like him.......Legend, innovator, infinite talent......r.i.p man❤🤘😢
Except for his Son Wolfgang Van Halen - he has major talent on guitar and the way he plays, his father told him everything he knows. The legacy of Van Halen lives on 😎
Eddie Van Halen by far is the best guitarist someone once asked Aldanova how great was EVH he said he would have to play since being born and still wouldn't be half as good
@@HEAVYMETALmovie1981 sorry I like Wolfgang as a person but he doesn't have 1/20th the talent of his Dad
And she noticed this as Blues as Eric Clapton's minor blues scale too, she's amazing right.😅
Steve Vai's idol is....Edward Van Halen 'Goat'🎸🎸👑👑
Eddie built that guitar himself from a body from the seconds bin and parts scrounged from other guitars to do just exactly what he wanted it to do so he knew it inside and out. The paint job is the result of 3 or 4 separate different paint jobs. Up close, it looks like hell but its been through world war 3 and is one of the best ever played. RIP Eddie. You gave a 14 year old kid a bunch of great rock and roll! Something I could live for!
Wrong guitar. This is the Kramer 5150 built for him by Kramer
I always thought this was the Frankenstrat
Amen to that. He kept me alive in my youth. I started playing because of him and just when I thought I had him figured out, he did something new that was insanely incredible. RIP the the GOAT...
@@jeffmanny8246 actually it's just a Kramer neck on this one. If you really look you can see it's a strat body that was a little thicker than the Kramer body. The actual original Frankenstrat is the one he's holding on the 1st album and the paint job changed from year to year. When Fender started making them they were so close that he took a sharpie and wrote this one is the shit on the back of the neck. Lol. He said he burned up a ton of double coil humbuckers getting the paraffin wax hot enough to hold it at the slight angle to get the tone he wanted. An innovator from every aspect of the guitar and music in general. God Rest the king...
@@robertswain8313 yes but in this Live without a net he is playing the Kramer 5150 model guitar 1 of 4 built in 1983 by Paul Unkert. The 1984,5150, the Panama and the Neptune guitars
Ppl forget that not only was Eddie self taught, but by his own admission, he couldn’t read music and was also a self proclaimed tone seeker. Eddie was, is, and will forever remain the greatest. We love and miss you Ed.
He and his brother Alex had classical piano lessons as a children but Ed could not read the music so Ed memorized by ear and watching the hand movements of his piano teacher. Ed won quite a few piano recital contests as a child. His Father was a trained musician , piano , sax and clarinet. Ed was in fact classically trained on piano. Both of his parents were musically minded and surrounded themselves with musicians.
He was classically trained his father and mother were both musicians and moved to California from Holland or somewhere so was alex
He was definitely intimate with his guitar. He knew everything it could do!
Actually, Eddie could read piano music from his childhood.
Eddie is just Mozart and Paganini in one person on the guitar ... there is nobody else who can create those sounds like him ... and every guitar player after him wasnt able to reach that level ... i love Steve Vai too, but Eddie is another level, always was ! RIP5150
you can create those sounds if you train. the techniques are not unique to evh
@@thejusticeization You can do anything .. the point is, nobody did it, apart from Eddie .. copying something afterwards is not inventing and is no creativity.
Back in the early 80's, Van Halen played a concert in my hometown, Tucson, AZ. USA.
They were riding high on their third LP release, and one of the local TV stations interviewed Eddie. 90 percent of his answers were just guitar licks, and it was crazy. He made his guitar
talk like a child and scream like a baby. Then an elephant. It was great.
That's how he communicated nthe beat . He even said " That's MY voice . " That's why his marriage to Valerie lasted as long as it did . He really was playing all the time . The guitar was his mistress in a way . He laughed in an old interview that one of his girlfriend's said he loved the guitar more than her .
I loved when Eddie did the "horse" --- he'd go "whoa, Trigger!"
In high school in the 80's there were arguments on who was the best guitarist. Some people said Randy Rhoades and some said Eddie. In an Interview They asked Randy if he had his own style and he said no Eddie Van Halen and Eric Clapton had their own style.
When Eruption came out. It was out of this world. Very unique
He built a famous guitar they call The Frankenstrat. You gotta look it up to see everything he did to it and how he built it. He also played through a Marshall amp turned all the way up but had the voltage turned down with a Variac. It was a secret for many years.
everyone thinks this is the Frankenstrat but it's a custom Kramer
@@fkops2773 I never said that was the Frankenstrat.
Rip the king. Missed so much. The goat. Eddie never had any guitar training. Eddie didn’t have to learn the guitar. The guitar had to learn Eddie.
"The guitar had to learn Eddie ". Probably the best comment I've ever heard about him.
He was a classically trained pianist as a child and won many contests. He couldn't read the music sheet but learned by ear. He was trained.
But when you see most of his songs they have a piano-like structure.
eddie came along and showed everyone how to play the guitar to it's absolute maximum. guys like Vai and Satriani learned everything they could from him and they (like many) were huge fans of eddie techniques.. eddie wrote two music for two films.. Twister and the wild life. his playing was famously featured in the bedroom scene in Back To The Future where it was portrayed as music from outer space...
Gotta admit all the guitarists around me back when Vai and Satch first hit the scene we were all like "snooze" here's two more EVH clones. But Vai and Satch really stepped it up so they eventually earned my respect.
I don't either one can write hit songs like Ed does though. They both have noodley songs that are awesome.
Don't forget that he did the amazing lead in Michael Jackson's "Beat IT". The guy was amazing. RIP with SRV, and Jimi !
also for "the legend of the pianist on the ocean". music by Ennio Morricone, lyrics and vocals by Roger Waters and guitars by Eddie Van Halen. Extremely beautiful
He played for the movie top gun
Eddie and Steve Vai share some qualities like the double tapping, the Floyd Rose tremelo bridge (whammy bar) the delay and distortion pedals, and a variety of other pedals to create spacey, and or repeating sounds (the cello, or )violin sound was a delay pedal repeating each note played more than once. The big difference was Eddie's ability to make more fan friendly melodies, and more cohesive mainstream, relatable tunes.
VAI is a straight up clone of Eddie. You gotta understand VAI survived the massive onslaught of clones out the 80s.
Vai held his ground but every part of his style was ripped from EVH.
When ED first came to the scene , nobody sounded like that but Ed.
Unlike a lot of guitarists who use blues scales, he incorporated a lot of classical music scales into his playing.
His father was a classically trained musician (playing the clarinet on the Diver Down album) and he also had some training on classical piano before he switched to guitar as a teenager.
Agreed
I have gone to ten Van Halen shows and the thing I associate with the live show more than anything else is the shaking of the concrete at the show venue.
My uncle was at the infamous Tangerine Bowl show in 1980 when VH opened for the Stones --- he said the whole stadium was shaking!
Love how much fun Eddie always had while playing the guitar! RIP
He is tapping Harmonics and the Neck Vibration and turns it into a Concerto!! This is and was and will Always be The Greatest Guitarist in the World.
Steve Vai was incredibly fascinated by Eddie's amazing ability to make the guitar sound like so many different instruments and Eddie's incredible finger speed when he was playing. Steve Vai is a great guitarist but he doesn't come close to King Edward. That is why Guitar world magazine named Eddie "THE GUITAR GOD! of all guitarist that has ever picked up a guitar. Dive into Van Halen's extensive catalog of music. He even has a song that he used an electric drill to play his guitar. "Poundcake" by Van Halen. Eddie was a true musical genius when it came to the guitar.
I’m 78 this was so mind blowing and introduced the finger tapping style. Eddie is the GOAT!!
Such a great solo!!
Sorry bro, the OG tapper was Harvey Mandel, back in '68
@@osullibr wasn’t aware of him. 👍🏼
There’s a great 10min video on origin of tapping, there’s some Italian guy that was doing it in ‘65… Definitely worth the watch if you haven’t seen it 👍🏾
I guess maybe what you were saying is that Eddie introduced it to the mainstream audiences.
@@osullibr Saw a little Italian dude doing it on an acoustic in Italy about 1962.
I'm so glad we have these videos of great musicians to preserve forever just how talented they were , cuz words can't describe their ability.
EVH made this guitar called the Frankenstrat. He combined different parts from other guitars. He added a humbucker pickup and a Floyd Rose tremolo system with locking tuners to accomplish dive bombs. Basically he was experimenting to find different sounds because he couldn’t afford to purchase an expensive guitar in his beginning years.
Edward was a once in a century talent. I was fortunate to see Van Halen 8 times and I was able to meet Ed once. I took my dad with me to see VH on Nov. 1st 2007 for the DLR reunion at Verizon Center in Washington D.C. I purchased the 5 star VIP package with backstage access. There were 125 of us out of 19k people who were lucky enough to get that deal. They allowed us entry into the venue 3hrs before the doors opened to the general public and I will never forget hearing him play Cathedral to an empty arena while doing soundcheck as we entered. They split us up into 3 separate groups and we took a backstage/stage tour one group at a time. We were each able to peak our head into his makeshift guitar hut on the side of the stage (where his guitar tech would change strings/tune etc..) and laid our eyes on the original Frankenstrat hanging on the inner wall. This was the first tour he brought that guitar back out to play since the 1984 tour. Eventually, we were able to shake Ed's hand and chat with him for about 90 secs each (there were alot of people for him to get through before showtime) and luckily, he autographed my Ibanez RT650 guitar and took a pic with me. Make no mistake, IT IS my most prized possession and I am so very thankful that my dad and I have that memory of Ed. He was such a nice guy and very humble. We had front row and Valerie Bertinelli stood next to me on my left with her fiance' at that time to show support to her and Eddie's son Wolfgang who was playing bass for the band. Incredible experience I will forever cherish.
Hi Millie! Also, Eddie was an accomplished piano player raised on playing classical music. In his guitar solos, he throws in classical pieces. His guitar, early on was called the Frankenstrat, a totally reworked Fender Stratocaster with his electronics and his paint job, tape etc he put on there. It will be many many years for another Eddie Van Halen to explode on the scene. RIP Edward, we love and miss you!! Oh, Millie, In the movie back to the future, Marty McFly went into his father's bedroom as an alien and played Eddie's riff to scare him and convince George McFly to take his future Mom to the Prom so they could fall in love and not mess up the time line and cause a paradox. lol Check it out. Back to the Future 1. in 1985. Thanks and cheers from Motown.
Eddie never stopped asking, "What if..." that's his greatness. He didn't just play guitar he explored everything about the guitar.
not just the guitar. any instrument. he was about the music. if you gave him any instrument he would blow your mind. :)
I'm glad you noticed that he's rolling the volume knob up and down during the Cathedral part of the solo. There's a reason he was awarded the first EVER Guitar God Award. He changed the way sheet music had to be written though he couldn't even read music. He was and will always be the GOAT that changed everything about rock and roll in 1978. I saw the 7 times and was always blown away. RIP Ed. Thanks for the memories...❤
Why do I watch these reactions... I get teared up every single time.. RIP Mr Van Halen..
You mentioned his improvisation. When they put Van Halens songs to sheet music, it needed extra notations for what he was doing. He rewrote the book, lol.
And I think they didn't do it RIGHT . In some guitar interviews , he would see people trying to duplicate his playing , and he said they did it WRONG . So I'm guessing the sheet music isn't correct 100%
Jimmy Page used an actual violin bow. Eddie used his volume knob and Alex Lifeson of Rush used a Morley volume wah to achieve that violin sound. Eddie put that together. It was kind of beat up and he just started taping it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenstrat. A lot of parts on this are bits and pieces of intro/outro's of songs over the years. Listen to the original Eruption from 1978 Van Halen debut album. The violin/cello bit is from 1982's Diver Down album and track is called Cathedral which leads into Secrets. Another bit the fast kind of slapping is from the intro to Mean Street from 1981's Fair Warning. And then a bit from Spanish Fly from Van Halen II. Great reaction.
The guitar in the vid is not the frankenstrat, it's the 5150 kramer.
Love your reaction. Check out Van Halens live performances. Incredible and epic!
Glad I was able to see them around 94-95 in
Sacramento, California. It was a killer concert from what I remember😁 I may have had one too many beers at the time, but it was a killer performance. Also Steve Vai transcribed some of Eddie’s playing, which he could do, Vai is an awesome guitarist in his own right, but he said he couldn’t play what Eddie was playing. Eddie later confessed and I’m paraphrasing, that he was so bombed drunk out of his gore that he didn’t even remember playing that solo.
I absolutely love watching younger generations watch in awe, smile, cheer, wonder, and ultimately raise a glass to a man I grew up listening to (and yes, saw him live 4 times).
This one too?
Eddie was the originator of that whole style of guitar playing.
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 I am surprised you have not heard this before. I am not a Van Halen fan but this is far out.
One thing to note,EVH was completely self taught. All the extraordinary things he did on the guitar came from his own mind.
Few guitarist are innovators most of us are traditional no matter how fast or wild our techniques it’s been done. Hendrix, EVH & Tom Morello found new sounds and tricks. RIP Hendrix and Eddie
The original solo Eruption was on the first album in 1978. It was under two minutes long and everyone who heard it the first time can tell you exactly where they were.
301 E. 5th Street, Winner, SD. I was 8 years old. It was like nothing anyone had ever heard and changed music forever.
Hi! Eddie's guitar had strings under neath. It was custom made.
Also take into account that he accomplished this feat while drunk (and that he developed all these guitar techniques, even building his own guitars for this)🙂I couldn't do even a tenth of what he have shown here sober 😮
Another Dutch Master …….. Rest in Peace Edward van Halen
Seeing the joy on your face experiencing EVH for the first time brought joy to me. I guess you're jealous of me 😁, I saw this tour when they played in my city, and your are correct, it was pretty epic. Even though the tapping thing had been used in the past Eddie, took it and ran with it. In 78 when their first album was released he blew everyones minds. Again you are correct he was a genius, he spent hour upon hour experimenting trying to make different sounds with his guitar, and every album had something new he created. It was a special time in music history, and I got to live it.
Well I guess this video was my reaction too lol since apparently I've never seen this before.
I saw him (Van Halen) live 7 times going back to the early 80's. RIP Ed, The Legend Lives On. There will never be another Eddie Van Halen.
Eddie masterd feed back and it created his own sound like no other. Eddie is the guitar god himself
Out of all the people I've seen watched this video, you're the only one I've ever heard call it a cello. Good job.
There is a jazz guitarist named Stanley Jordan who uses a little different tapping technique where he taps full jazz chords and incorporates a melody into it. There is even video of him playing two guitars at once. He has multiple videos on RUclips. I haven't seen them all but the ones I have seen have all been amazing. You will enjoy his playing.
Stanley is phenomenal!!
Are you new to this? Where you been?
The greatest guitar player that ever lived.
This is Terry VonCannon. Love your reaction. Eddie is on the Mt Rushmore of guitarist. His guitar is called a Frankenstrat. He started with a Fender Stratocaster and modified it himself until he was able to achieve all those incredible sounds. Keep reacting to hard rock and heavy metal videos. 🤘🤘
Greatest guitar player in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. RIP Eddie 🎸
When Eddie was a child taking piano lessons, he only played by sound, and was embarrassed when his teacher asked him to turn the pages for he, because he didn't know when.
After Eddie, an entirely new way to write music for guitar had to be written.
Eddie was an inspiration to all guitarists in the world! RIP Eddie, you're not forgotten, dude!
Unfortunately, there are no more live guitar solos on rock stages like this anymore. The era of the great guitarist has come to an end. RIP EVH
Eddie composed the original musical score for "The Wild Life" (1984).
Greatest rock and roll guitar player ever. Period. RIP Eddie
Here's foot note....Ed was so F@cked up, he didn't remember this performance. Just another day in the life on the road. Good times. \m/
BTW....Ed made most of his guitars, the electronics. His most famous being the original Frankenstrat, red/white stripes, totally his idea, everyone copied. Les Paul used to call Ed in the middle of the night to talk guitars and bitch about the industry being so full of sh!t. One of Ed's prized guitars was buried with Dimebag. Not a bad crew, EVH, Les Paul, and Dimebag.
There will never be another Eddie! RIP.
And that's sad 😞
Saw them. I've seen him do this. On stage, Capital Center, Maryland. Absolutely amazing. No sound effects in movies, just music. Legendary.
I was at this show both nights😊
ON first album 1978, shorter , more intense for 2min ..check it out. We knew it was awesome right then. This is his show off time in concert..LOOK AT WHAT I CAN DO. Still awesome!
So good to see you listen to Eddie Van Halen. I am also thrilled that you actually love Steve Vai . Vai and Van Halen are my two favorites bar none. Eddie is the innovator, and Vai took it to another level.
Steve Vai is an amazing guitarist and human without a doubt. There are many platers out here since EVH that make him look old and slow. But not one of them make people smile like Edward did.
EVH=GOAT PERIOD!! BTW Eddie didn't break guitar rules, HE MADE THEM!! Great reaction!!!
RIP Eddie, VH music will live on and its great to see this music is hitting a younger audience.
Somebody may have put it already but just incase he Van Halen played a Solo in Michael Jackson's Song Beat It
Try listening to Yngwie Malmsteen or Robin Trower . ✨✨✨🎸✨✨✨🇺🇸
EVH designed and painted the guitar. He had another guitar with a similar design that is black and yellow (The bumblebee) from VH II. It is buried with Dimebag Darrell from Pantera.
Saw him and Van Halen, seven times, including this "Live without a net," performance
I still get chills no matter how many times I’ve seen this. It never seems to amaze me. Always hear something new in this performance. 😢Rest in Peace legend. You were a king among men. The world lost something beautiful here. Dime and Ed are jamming in the heavens now. And I’m sure it’s heavenly.
I believe Eddie customized He's Guitar's . . . . Staying Frosty 🥶
one of the largest indisputable facts to emphasize just how great Eddie was... you're reacting to this in 2023 and the techniques he uses, he was creating in 1979, over 40 years ago.
That is the kind of gap of talent that EVH represents.
I would have loved to see Hendrix and Eddie on the same stage...So sad that Hendrix died at his peak....he would have been 81 years old now...Can you imagine both of them with there sound affects! It would have been the concert of all time! it would have superseded Woodstock!
This is the same guy who took the guitar tapping technique and took it to the next level
At least u know ur music and appreciate Eddie..He mad his own guitars...Nobody played like Eddie
Great reaction!✌🎸🤘🙏🙏👍👍👍❤❤❤
I saw this tour, I was 14, had been playing guitar for a bit over a year, and to see Van Halen onstage playing was just mind blowing. Guitar was a big mystery to me then, I had no idea how to play anything like this, so it was something else to see it live in person. Ed was a brilliant player, a real game changer for the instrument, any guitar player worth their weight in soap back then worshipped at the temple of Ed.
He used to stay home and practice while alex was going out partying and chasing girls
Which is why Alex was a good drummer but Eddie became ICONIC
@@fredwerza3478 yes Alex is awesome
I was there, both nights. Van Halen played two nights in New Haven Connecticut. They recorded Van Halen Live Without A Net. Amazing!!
Oh yeah, Eddie designed and made his guitar. I was lucky enough to see them before they ever got a record contract or open for anyone in socal. Grew up with these guys, will never be another Eddie!
If you know the first 6 Van Halen records (David Lee Roth era) he plays all the instrumental pieces here that are on the first 5 albums
You should watch in whole the 1982 live Largo show here on you tube. That is the true mighty Van Halen. Please give it a shot. He is an animal during his guitar solo.
Eddie changed everything in the 1970's not just as a virtuoso guitar player/musician but as a paradigm shift in what rock music and the guitar are capable of accomplishing. Jimi Hendrix in the 1960's changed everything then Eddie in the 70's took it to another level.
And don't get me started on how Stevie Ray Vaughn literally brought the blues back as a force in the 80's. He was another game changer virtuoso guitar player that surpassed the master Jimi and changed everything.
To be honest EDDIE VAN HALEN WAS THE ONLY GUY THAT IS BETTER THAN JIMMI HENDRIX..THATS IT
I've seen VH live 2 times. Ed was such a great gutarist. RIP. Ed did indeed 'design' the guitar himself, back in the 70s by experimenting with different pick ups and tunings. The line design in red white and black is iconic Ed style. The Singer is Sammy Hagar, also a great musician.
Well if you like Steve Vai you should check out his guitar teacher Joe Satreini “Satch Boogie” (from Satreini Live). It also has the great Jeff Campitelli on drums. Eddie changed the way guitarist play & influenced countless guitarist around the world.
Love it!! FREEDOM!! ♥ Jesus Love 2 U !!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥
"Was he making sound effects for 80's movies?" Not that I know of but he did have a solo in the movie "Back to the Future." I was actually at this concert. It was the last night of the tour in New Haven Connecticut. Not far from Yale University. My buddies and I, minus the gf's and wives , had a night.
Hes THE master of all guitar playing. He figured it all.
Millie now you know why he's been called King Edward ! !
I didn’t even bother watching Eruption. After seeing that opening clip I immediately searched The LimeSublimes, subscribed to the channel and added “To Work it Out” to my Spotify playlist.
I really like that song
Without Eddie there wouldn't have been a Vai or Satch or Nuno
Ed was one of the best rock guitarists of all time if not THE best.
Not only seen it live but got to go back stage and then went and got drunk with them after the show
Also keep in mind he custom built many of his own guitars to create a specific sound style.
Very little is known about his secret "snake" guitar
I saw this tour live in Toronto in like 1986? I'm thinking?? It was a long time ago but I can always say I saw Van Halen!!
What's sad is it's those ciggys that ended his life far too early. I've loved Van Halen since I was a kid. Thank you for the video.
His father Jan Van Halen got him started on smoking --- such a pathetic thing to do as a Dad
The "volume swells" are usually paired with a delay effect. It sorta randomizes the notes being heard in different moments. A good example of this other than in this solo would be "Echo Etude" by Yngwie Malmsteen.
I have seen him like 6 times he is THE KING
Yes he was in this eruption he played many of the sounds in movies, videos and Van Halen songs.
Remember he created all this in the 70s and early 80s all analog without digital sound inputs!
Honey,eddie came before steve!
