@user-ep3hm3it1m I would LOVE to see Wolfie do a tribute tour. He was fantastic at the Taylor Hawkins tributes. However, Wolfie has been pretty clear about his lack of interest in a tribute with him in it. He gets so much crap about riding his Dad's coat tails.( which is total BS). I'm sure that has a lot to do with his decision to steer clear.
I think Joe Satriani is a guitar god, but I definitely think Steve would be better suited for playing Van Halen material live..his style matches up with Ed's better than Satch....
I think Wolfie could do it for sure, but doubtful he would do it without Alex on board, which is doubtful...love Joe, but his playing style is too different than Ed's...I definitely think Steve would be a good fit, also...I think everybody should just put their egos and grudges aside, and Sammy, Dave, Mikey, Alex, and Wolfie do some shows together...I think it would benefit them as much as the fans, if they just let all the sh*t between them go...@user-ep3hm3it1m
I remember haunting a lot of local music stores in 1980's CA as a teen. I used to really envy the "older" guys who worked in these shops who got at least a few passes to NAMM back then if the shop they worked for was an authorized seller for "x-y-z"-product. The stories they brought back with them generally involved some member of Toto, Tom Scholz or most importantly to me at the time, EVH. And most of what they said about Eddie was _not_ complimentary: Claiming he was drunk/coked out the day they saw him, doing endless whammy dive-bombs and playing over everybody in the jam sessions. I know this is only one video of one day but, it kinda makes me question a lot of what those guys said now. To me and on this vid, Eddie looks healthy, mostly sober, happy and kicking ass playing as he ever did. I saw Eddie in early 00's with Van Hagar so I know what he looks/sounds like playing loaded, sloppy and reckless. So now seeing this, I have to retroactively question the motivations for all of those guys I knew back then that I'm starting to realize were basically resentful "1970's"-players who even post-5150, saw EVH as a "punk fad", and not good for the guitar playing world. Obviously, the world has changed, and a lot of those music store guys from back then are retired or dead. And to a modern day teen, EVH's legend is like Gen X teens hearing about Buddy Holly's or Buck Owens's bands, back in the 50's. Amazing how time flies and pre-internet opinions and rumors that you hung on every word of when you had to depend on other people for firsthand experiences, are now just irrelevancies, compartmentalized, or just forgotten unless somebody you knew back then brings them up. I guess that's just another sneaky part of growing up that you don't realize is even happening, until it's almost over. Long live EVH and his enduring legacy.
It great to see Eddie having a grand ole time jamming out with Steve. Looks like he’s enjoying every single note of it. And that bass player/singer is no slouch either. The pipes on that guy though.
Kool ! I was at that show , what a night ... I believe it was the Fourth of July , correct? Thought it was 94 tho , but I'm getting old 😂😂.... Great memories from that night .. Eddie was killer !!🤘🏻😎
Man.... to have been blessed to join in on a jam with King EVH.... and to then bust out some finger-tapping w/him! Gotta love it that SS ripped a bit like that🤘
I've been looking for this video! I seen it some years back, but haven't been able to find it since. Thank you so much for posting this awesome video again!
Why am i not surprised to see Mr Tim Bogert leading this all out attack on your senses. He was the best. I'm sure he's wondering when these two guys are gonna set the stage on fire. No worries, Tim will keep right on going through the flames as always. Epic jam.
I could put VH on my stereo and after the Hurricane, Tornado, or Nuclear War had passed thru , someone would ask me , “” Tell me what do you remember the ordeal “” , my answer would be , “well yeah it was windy and all that but what I remember most is Eddie’s Guitar just by screaming and drowning everything else out”” !
That would've been a lot better if whoever filmed it didn't film the damned floor half of the time! At least we have more historical footage that no one knew existed.
Good ol' short haired "I'm in a fancy version of Journey' Eddie. That singer and the other guys in the band have a few stories now though. Bass player probably talked about it at least once per day since then.
Man! That had to be a great show! I wish I could have actually been there because the video is not as great as it should be, but it's extremely bad though.
Funny that!..Was recently watching an old video tape from the 80’s and all I could think was how horrible the picture quality was. Camera was expensive af huge an you had to sneak it out the house to use it🤣..Editing a tape took two vcr’s ..
So cool but definitely not a fan of a bunch of guitarists, and drummers playing together it just sounds like a crazy mess.. I'm sure it's a thrill for the fans but you just can't hear really what's going on it's crazy.
@@chrisf6216 when you have superstars on stage they need their own space.. I've seen it many times I'm sure we've all seen it on RU-vid many times. It just sounds like a big hot mess lol. That's why Eddie Van Halen never had a really guitarist, none of the greats really do.. Jimi Hendrix, Steve Ray Vaughan, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhodes, malmsteen, Steve Vai, satriani, I mean I could go on and on. You just bump heads too much you know.
