I love this video - It really highlights what Ed's tone was actually like live. Not a lot to hide behind, just a plexi turned up LOUD. A lot rawer sounding than what we hear on the early albums...
Would have traded this cover in lieu of the “poppy” Dance The Night Away on VHII. Loved the 1988 tour version as well where they segway into Zepplin’s Rock and Roll. Smokin’!
When I was in 9th grade (1979) I remember seeing that VH banner on just about every kid's notebook and wondering what the hell it meant. Then I heard eruption, and I started drawing that banner on anything that would stay still long enough for me to draw on it. Been a fan ever since. R.I.P. Eddie, thanks for the amazing music.
this song is gay. Seriously, listen to the words and chorus melody, its cringe. I'll bet there's a fire/desire rhyme in there somewhere. VH is still the greatest of all time, but this proves they're fallable humans.
I will say it a million times, and mean it everytime Being a guitarist myself, I know what EVH was to me. Everyone else here knows what he meant to them. You can throw out all the superlatives you want about The Master, but there is never going to be an argument about his mastery of his chosen art. No else had players around the planet going "What the F is that". From his grin to his fingers Eddie was born to bring us joy through his expression of his art, and you can thank whatever god you believe in that he shared his joy with us. ALWAYS #1 UNPARALLELE
