Dave Grohl's IMPOSSIBLE "Eruption" Guitar Solo 

The Forbidden Riff is not to be confused with Eruption... you know the Forbidden Riff... right?

That shred contest sounds like every guitar store on the planet on any given Saturday morning

I remember Dave played a ridiculous version of stairway to heaven on live tv 30 years ago

Yay! That trip was a win in music, I would say😳. Just want to mention, I’m a just turned 57, 14 year old, who, after decades with an acoustic, having care-given both folks to dignified and peaceful final exits, is finally plugging in and am a grasshopper with electric. Currently, am using a Boogie Mark V 35 and a Fender Am. Pro II financed for 12 months interest free from American Musical Supply. (They are SO awesome, I felt compelled to spell out their proper name.) I have a playlist of about 200 guitar tutorials and before I die, I WILL sweep-a-pick AND pinch-a-harmonic. Thank you for the constant and consistent information and inspiration! 🙏🏽✌🏽💙 from Minnesota

Having the tease of Wolfie shredding on SA126 release day is a quality troll in itself. Well done.

I normally never make comments, but meeting you at Rockville was super surreal for me since I have been watching you for years now. Just wanted to say that it was awesome being there and talking with you was the highlight of the weekend. Keep up making great content like this!

yo man, great vid!! its Rich, it was super cool meeting you qand chatting with you. Thanks for taking the time brother! PS I ended up buying the Mark Holcomb PRS 7 string that they had at AMS and the Mudvayne prototype Dean, both awesome guitars!! Keep up the good work, and see you next year at Rockville!!!!!!!!

That dude who's clearly a metal head but giving it up for Gilmour... hell yeah to that dude

Great vid, awesome meeting you there! 🤘

That's great 😂😂 love your content, Tyler. Much love from Indiana and stay hydrated fam ❤️ 💜 💙

Great video! Looked like a lot of fun!!

Wish I could have met you there! I had a blast, hope you loved it.

Please more stuff like this. So refreshing and shows more of the current music scene!

I saw you at the shred competition, I was gonna come up and greet you your one of my favorite RU-vidrs. I suffer from really bad social anxiety, I wish I did:(

David Gilmour has so many amazing solos it's hard to choose, and he usually has at least one version for the album and one for live performances (the two songs mentioned in the video have phenomenal solos that are different from the album, like on the Pulse tour which Gilmour fans should watch at least once). Definitely one of the best.

Sweet stuff Ty! Thanks.

oh man I didnt know you went to Brockville, I would have tried to meet you and go to these tents. awesome !

10:32 was me! Great getting to meet you man!

John frusciante's solo on Dani California is amazing

man i was playing the guitars before the shred contest, wish i could’ve met you man

What an awesome looking festival!! Some incredible shredding too

8:05 Seeing myself in a music is win video is insane! The shred competition was definitely one of the highlights of the festival (for any of you that were there, you might know me as pantera shirt/the kid from kentucky)

Tyler, I'm glad you brought forth your inner FOO lol. The FF's are a legendary band in my book. People always say "ew! The Foo Fighters songs all sound the same!" Laughable because no, they don't. I saw them live here in Dallas and the show was AMAZING. I do wish Dave would've whipped out more solos like this

Wouldn’t have been quite cool if one of those Shredders busted out Ralphie M’s “Crossroads” solo, the one he used to take down Jack Butler?

Never underestimate the impact your having on thousands of young Shredi Knights. You SHOULD feel vindicated and happy about it bud. You've put the work in, taken random bottles to the dome, and just basically kick guitar ass! At the rate your going, if you continue this journey giving it your all. Theres no possible way your NOT, gonna be in bigger and better places. Keep shredd'n Tyler. You're destined for something big.

shout out to the guy who said Anastasia - slash for the best solo love that one

Foo fighters actually played Van Halen when I saw them live but it was jump sung over imagine cause those two songs are amazing together.

I remember when he played an intro from Black Flag Slip it In at the beginning of a QOTSA song on drums!

Very nice with the Requiem at the end and I wasn't sure if you liked classical.

this was such a cool video

Man, wish I went to the booth! Rockville was wild!

I WENT TO THIS CONCERT IT WAS IN ROCKVILLE DAYTONA!!!!!

Perfect day, UPS dropped off a new guitar this morning and now one of the best MIW videos in a long time.

I was in the crowd towards the left that night, amazing show 😭

Dexter Holland looks great! Wow.

I was there that same day. Bummer I missed you man. Would have been cool to meet you.

Gotta love the bit of Aussie muso humour at the end🤣👍🇦🇺

my man David Gilmour getting the love

One of my fav solos is Cardiacs fiery gun hand

10:13 dude bottom right. What an absolute alpha. The outfit, the stance, the beard.

Give the dude who said ATW-Rats in Ruin a cookie. All Them Witches are terribly underrated

Great Vid! Keep being yourself Tyler

I crowd surfed to qotsa on Saturday!

Y'know, as first festivals go, Rockville is one of the best (IMO, again, first). I was the kid doing Thunderstruck, and I fucked up. Honestly talking to you after that was genuinely helpful. BTW, y'all wanna know *why* Dave stopped the show for a security issue? Uh I can tell you, I missed half the concert because of it. Basically there was a pickpocket, stealing phones and shit. Dude right next to me was one of the victims of this pickpocket, and he finds his case right next to him. As the dude confronts the phone theif, the theif pulls out pepper spray and nails me and 5 other people. Honestly, the worst bit was missing the show, but it was a novel experience feeling like my mouth, eyes, and arms were fucking burning.

Incredibly inspiring video, man!

Thank you for not saying this video is sponsored by Sweetwater. It’s nice to see AMS get some love

To add my personal favorite guitar solo to the list, it's gotta be Painkiller, I've never heard a solo that is so perfectly paced while also being so insanely fast and heavy, and those sweeps in the intro to the solo are just mystical

Such a cool video

my dad does a motorcycle class in march at the Daytona speedway called the king of daytona xr200 class

As soon as you said best solo of all time i thought of floods and ut blew my mind when old mate agreed

I've never rode in a golf cart on a nascar track but I've definitely climbed them steep ass heels many times

That fella looks just like the drummer from Nar-vana!! 🤠

One of my favorite solos ever is Slash's solo near the end of November Rain

What's the music behind the montage at 10mins?

Side note, I really wish those Trini Lopez/Dave Grohl Gibsons were made more affordably. They look/sound fantastic.

He also did this at shakey knees it was great

Bit if love for The Offspring!

The "Finale" is genius -

5:00 maybe Comfortably Numb, but my favorite is Razor's Edge from Dream Theater's Octavarium

Rad video Tyler! You know it's good when you catch yourself just smiling like an idiot!!!!

Spotted the Springbok jersey at 9:56

wasnt this already uploaded?

Hell yeah. An All Them Witches shoutout. Tuck in. Great band.

Dude in the Archspire shirt was killing it on the shred competition :/

Most wholesome F-bomber in Rock

The Floods solo is indeed the greatest.

the To Live Is To Die guy major respect!!

I THOUGHT I SAW YOU THERE MAN!!! I wasn't 100% sure though because well i had already spent some time with my buddy Jack D.

Dave Grohl is a national treasure and a rock legend.

I noticed you went to BNA are you from Nashville? If so are you doing guitar lessons? I live in Nashville and need a teacher

Wolfgang was actually doing the solo in the background 😅

11:56 - A question as old as time.

best solo is the ending solo from fade to black with Metallica, live in Moscow 1991

For the guitar solo segment, you said that the only overlapping guitarists were Dimebag, Slash, and David Gilmour; but James Hetfield pops up multiple times as well. One said Nothing Else Matters, and the other said To Live Is To Die. Two Metallica solos were picked, yet neither of them are Kirk Hammett's, lmao.

Floods makes me more emotional than other solos, but Dimebag, Friedman, Mustaine and Hammett have so many awesome solos, picking a #1 is impossible.

It was super cool meeting you rock villie was amazing 🫶🤘

You, Sir, have a dream job. It comes with a lot of hard work, but, oh my what great benefits. You're grin is of Cheshire Cat proportions you lucky, lucky man, sorry, VIP! Great vid mate, greetings from the UK.

Not sure if anyone else posted this already, but apparently the issue in the pit when Dave started playing the forbidden riff was due to a pick-pocketer getting caught and once he started getting confronted, he pepper sprayed the people coming at him. He ended up getting dragged out by multiple security guards right through the center, went right by my brother and I who were standing about center by the Ferris wheel. Saw someone post on Reddit addressing the thief who pepper sprayed him telling him to burn in hell lol. As for how he got the pepper spray in, security wasn’t too tight so can’t imagine it was very difficult.

My european mind can't really comprehend this, but still good video dude:)

Who and what is that song at 1:41

“We’re waiting for Black Veil Brides” Yeah, didn’t see that coming.

The shred contest is what hell sounds like

For me, the Guitar Solo of All Time would be my top 5 list was: 1. Linkin Park - In Pieces 2. Metallica - Nothing Else Matters 3. Metallica Enter Sandman 4. Pantera - Walk 5. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit one of my favorite bangers of all time.

0:49 I f*cking LOVE Dave!!!

I mean, naturally you won't get this answer at a hard rock fest, but I'll stick my neck out and say the best solo for capturing the vibe of the song without getting too technical is the outro of "Faithfully" by Neal Schon.

Was that Ricky Carmichael near the end posing for a selfie?

i was at the festival it was cool

To live is to die af. That dude is a legend for naming that one.

"To Live Is To Die" solo....AMEN!

The 6505II IS A KILLER AMP.

I really hope you gave him a t shirt. It can't get hot enough for that.

YOU WERE THERE??? dang i probably walked past you ten times and never knew it

THE SHIRT AT 7:04

The issue was pretty messed up too. Pickpockets were running rampant this year and one got caught and was about to get what they deserved. Turns out they snuck in pepper spray and sprayed it and ran. At least according to people that were hit with pepper spray during foo fighters.

Omg i was there very front left at the gate

Best is La villa Strangiato-Rush

Best solo: Buck Dharma astronomy live

Never change, Dave…..never change.

Anastasia by Slash! I made the cut, damn yeah!

😂 that’s F BOMB hilarious!!
