Now 12 year olds are doing this in school talent shows. The influence Eddie has is/was/still timeless

@@bwassinger21 You can’t hold back greatness. 20 years from now, kids will be still be learning this.

Its always Eruption but the studio version is the only time its "only" Eruption. When its played live its Eruption but he plays the others also. Thats how I see it. Besides, It's way easier to call everything Eruption. Takes way less time out of my day. I have more time for activities.

And Cactus let me swim.

I always thought each solo meshed into one was his way of making it into a movement like that of a classical musician

@Benjamin Stulken I wouldn’t doubt DLR introduced him as that either... most people do =VH=

Yea thats definitely not David Lee roth. Thats Sammy hagar. Big improvement over David Lee Roth.

But yea totally agree the greatest guitar player to ever live without a doubt. Could spend an entire lifetime learning what he created in the early 70s. Its just crazy

Its so sad hes gone. What a loss

Rip dear Eddy, you're my favorite guitarist forever, TANK YOU, ILLIMITADE.LOVE FROM QUÉBEC. ......XXXXX.

that's eddie Vh

Amen

More of this attitude in 2021 please everyone.

He died☹️

Yep and he played for 40 wonderful Years !

I find a great wisdom in this

Thanks for your comment. You have cheered me up

Yes, every time I opened my hall locker, his pictures smiled back at me while he played this😏.

Hear, hear!

Absolutely

And inspired thousands of people to pick up a guitar 🎸 🔥🎶🎶🎶🎶

Freebird. Allen Collins..enuff said.

Comfortably numb clears

Hands down. Eddie was a jaw dropping guitarist, look at how he can use his fingers effortlessly like it was nothing, do u know just how difficult it is to learn how to play that solo?? Dude had both mad technical skills AND could shred the fukk out of a guitar too. That's very unusual, usually the vest if the best were either the best shredders or had mad technicality, Eddie you're the best ive ever known dude

I learned that song from watching him in this video, later learned the song name is 316

@@jaybutton3004 same thing happened to me! i remember watching this when i was starting to learn guitar and i was awestruck by that first piece he played. i remember thinking i’ll never be able to learn it and then one day i found out it was made into a song “316”. one of my favorite things to play now🤘🏼

@@jaybutton3004if you didn’t know as well, it was made as a lullaby for his son Wolfgang when he was born.

I believe 316 is what he played Wolf to help him sleep.

Good one. Lol.

Your not alone. Rip Eddie 🤘

same

Same

Dude Mom always asked why the broom straws..I blamed it on Eddie

No ands, if, this, thats, and buts about it man

Guitar: I Know

LOL

LMAO!

Guitar: "Again?"

SAME

X2

Yes! That along with 3:54 - 4:20 , 5:38 and 4:25 of course

4:49 - 4:52

7:01

Absolutely, and the really funny thing is originally Eddie was going to play the drums and Alex was going to play guitar.

roll n roll n roll n roll

RIP Eddie

That’s a fuckin metal saying brother🤘🏼 RIP EVH

More like guitar god

The greatest of all time!!! R. I. P Eddie

This is the last of his vintage Marshall tone, the REAL brown sound, period!

Right on John Marshall THE Brown sound

Dirty o yeah but beautiful 🤘

I feel like I have known him as a brother and a friend.

Watched this whole concert on this day for the last 3 years

😢😢

I know you are so right

I feel your pain.

Gone too soon.

Regular Totoro too soon for real

TRAP MUSIC NOW I swear we’re about to loose ozzy too #fuck2020

@Sergi Ruiz Thank you for those words. He was a amazing Dad. If he wasn't at work he made sure I was right there by his side, in every way.

Nathan Jenkins I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved dad. My step dad passed away from throat cancer also. I miss him so much! CANCER SUCKS !!!!!!!!!! I ALSO LOST MY BEST FRIEND TO THIS HORRIBLE DISEASE 2 YEARS AGO .

Woah man. your story somehow struck me deep inside. I'm holding my tears. My best aunt also passed away due to cancer. She kept it to herself until it was too late. Today, October 22nd is her birthday. God bless

God bless all of you he will take his arm and put his arm around you.

Godspeed my friend. Let the legends live on in our hearts until we meet again.

same here 😕

same here

Couldn't get to it quick enough just a God when I was growing up RIP

Same here. Bought the first album on the day it came out in UK purely on the strength of the cover and I was not disappointed. Legend of a man. I'm gutted.

Same😔🙏

You know, I have made the Mozart comparison as well, but you make a good point about Beethoven. In addition to rock and metal, I love classical music. I can never decide who is the best, Mozart, Beethoven, or Chopin. But I love them all, and I love Eddie Van Halen. And it's funny, they all died young. Mozart at age 35, Chopin at 39, Beethoven at 57 I think, and Eddie Van Halen at 65. Though 57 is not considered that young for Beethoven's time, but certainly in our time.

@@lisawillis1287 The beauty of art is never having to choose one *over* another because these geniuses gifted us their unique voices and vision through the medium of music. Each’s art speaks to specific yearnings, aspirations, anxieties, and hopes. Each taps into something almost indescribable within each of us, much that we can find commonality with and some that perhaps only we, as individuals, find meaning in that others may not. Ultimately, language fails in adequately quantifying the deep impact the best art has on us, but we know it’s real. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, EVH, they’re all sui generis shooting stars. They pass by and dazzle us, then they’re gone. What they leave, however, is something that speaks to the best in us. The true Olympians alter the paradigm of our daily experiences by creating new views into a higher realm of understanding and spiritual fulfillment.

@@MaestroFiddler I agree, very well said!

With all due respect Mozart would most likely outshred Eddie and use a violin to do it. Chopin said (paraphrased) “Mozart mastered the symphony. All I have is the piano”. Eddie’s a genius. Mozart is otherworldly.

@@orbitaljellyfish808 I think I disagree with you. No question about Mozart's genius, and I am not prepared to say Eddie is as good as Mozart, but he's closer than you think. Rock music is a more simplistic form than classical, so the parallels are perhaps harder to see, but Eddie's composition skills are extremely high. As a virtuoso rock guitarist, Steven Vai is probably comparable, but he's not the composer Eddie is. As for the Chopin quote, he also said that when he died he wanted Mozart played at his funeral, and not his own music. (Also a paraphrase). But Chopin I think was being modest. Chopin has composed some of the most beautiful pieces ever written, he is absolutely at or near the level of Mozart and Beethoven. And @Edward Oh, I know, again I'm leaving out Bach. I agree, Bach is an amazing genius, but I think Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin are all better. And I would not put Eddie completely at their level, but I'm not sure. A I said, I find it hard to make the comparison. It's like saying who is better, Kobe Bryant or Walter Payton? You can only compare to a certain extent, because they are playing different sports. A good friend of mine loves classical music but does not think much of Metallica. He says, "they are the master of three chords". And I tried to explain to him, the roots of rock and metal are found in blues music, and in some cases jazz. In blues music, the riff is the most important element. So you must judge a person's composition skills based on what they are trying to do, and what new aspects they bring to it. And one more point about Mozart, ( I know, I'm talking too much, sorry lol), perhaps because I'm a pianist I have something of a bias, but Mozart's best works in my opinion are his piano sonatas and fantasias. I'm not knocking his symphonies and operas, and his requiem is just breathtaking! Though I usually only listen to the first two movements, the two he completed before dying. The rest were completed by his some of his students, if I remember correctly. And it is perhaps is the sonatas of Mozart and Beethoven where the parallels with Eddie Van Halen can be easier to see. Sonatas are trying to "do" something different than a symphony. You must always remember that when judging compositions. John Williams has not been mentioned is this discussion, who is also an absolute genius. But when composing music soundtracks, he is trying to "do" something different. Intent is the key when trying judge compositions.

The introduction, these guys as a group must have been a blast to be around.

Here’s Jeffy Didnt knew u liked Van Halen

@@Yanited1710 ikr

Ye right but he has good taste in music

Lol

@@air9192 yes he does

Amen to that

YES!! Charming and funny and flawless indeed.

Edward wins Flawless Victory!

Some people call that tremolo picking. George Lynch sometimes refers to it as "fan" picking, like your hand is a fan blade hitting the string... It was an essential and cool part of Eddie's technique. Thanks for watching. Please check out all the great content on www.MusiciansChannel.com !

I have loved Eddie’s Sound, ever since I first heard it back in the late 70s💗Because of Eddie Van Halen’s Guitar Gifts, Van Halen became my First Favorite Band💗His Guitar Solos are both inspiring and soothing to my Soul💗🌹💗

Absolutely correct!

Me too

Me too😔

He said in an interview it's because to him it was all FUN, he loved what he was doing. He found his bliss in life and was able to live it - rock on Eddie, you are missed forever and always.

me mm mm immersed

40 years, or 400, or never, there is this threshold that something just happens, it's like a light switch that gets turned on. That is where he is operating from, myself included. I see with this statement, that has not happened for you, and honestly, it never will unless you change your rigid understanding of playing. He has a loose understanding upon the final composition, but a mastery of the key signatures and his instrument, it's an extension of him, both physically and mentally, and what he's doing is exploring them, but keeping it grounded into some what within the original context.

Its a pretty good feeling I'll tell you that

Brian Millar tf are you saying? anyways, eddie is eddie, he’s one of a kind

@@Johnny-mo9df lmao I was way too baked trying to get through that, glad it wasn't just me

Same I never got the chance

Me 2 Bro!😩

So badly. Born 20-30 years too late

Me too

Devin Dooley I wanted to see them live too. Now that Eddie's gone, that means no more Eruption!

that thing is cooked and well done. hope you like it with no pink because that bitch is toast.

Coke and speed do that to you! Trust me, I'm a guitar player

@@knocknevis7390 yup gotta be in the right mood at the right time and you can play anything you want

Lol

Sweat is flammable though?

Yes it should, I play guitar, I'll never recover from this loss

@@lukasfletcher3332 agreed...its been a really rough week. He felt like family to me, I dont know life without him. Total bummer. He lives on through the music, we gotta remember that. The GOAT

I got to see one of his concerts but I never got to meet him. Rip. I wish I could of met him

💯💯🤟🤟

Agreed!!!

People say that but then there is wolfie Van Halen

Yes sir! The moment I heard the guitar riffs from MJ's "beat it", I knew its van halen, and I was right after all because very distinctive.

Yep! End of story. Two notes in...and you just know it's Edward Van Halen! 💗🎶

Yes or he was great but Jimi Hendrix was better lol

@@lemueldugger659 And this opinion is open for debate, between the two...Who is #1, #2, etc. I think it comes down to who's style you prefer, not skill level. So sad Hendrix didn't live longer to be able to fulfill & complete the wonderful legacy he had already began to create for himself. Wouldn't it have been wonderful to have been able to see them play together.

Its that he made his own style. Thats whats so incredible. He created that tapping play style that people are still trying to master but still most just don't have the sound the evh had. And he did it in the 70s. Truly the master of all guitar masters. Lost but never forgotten EVH 🤟

And Eddie jumps into Heaven. Thank you, Eddie for the joy you gave us. You caused a lot of fun to happen.

This man is the reason why I picked up a guitar. He’s an inspiration to millions, may he rest in peace

Bullshit. 1:20-2:00

@@Ty-dg7uh Agreed.

aw this comment is so sweet

When VH was playing the clubs in Hollywood, Eddie used turn his back to the audience so all the players there couldn't quite figure out his early days techniques!

Pro gamer moves

Ahhh good old Eddie or eddy?

right lol, i remember when i was first learning and eruption was everybody's go to for learning to improv solo. good times.

@@stonecrazzombies2309 so true that it's actually a little "Wayne's World" here in L.A., they frown on sections of Eruption at the music stores! lol

I was one of the fortunate ones. Had chills then....still do

that is so awesome man, cheers friend

No you weren't

Wow!!! Was the whole arena shook like I am?

My sixteen year old self was there as well.....sitting way in the back of the old New Haven Colluseum. Killer show!
