Yes😭😭😭😭😭😭🎸🎸

Rip, Eddie 😭

Yes rip vh🤘🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

🤘 Everyone reading this please stay safe and spend time with your family. Live life the fullest

CharlesBerthoud never in my life did I think I would see this in my life. I’ve always dreamed of this ever since he died. THANK YOU SO FECKIN MUCH

How did nobody see this?

Dragonforce what are you doing here

Herman Li, is that you?? Studying Charles for when you finally play that bass, perhaps?

Lool

The tea drinking was an essential part of the process. Also... our Charles is half Finnish.

@@angrytedtalks well that makes a lot of sense! There is something about his tall and refined stature that felt very Nordic indeed!

@Lucius Sulla Your ignorance is astounding. You clearly know nothing about the UK, Turkey or Islam.

@@ParallelusReflection Actually the Finns are not so tall and apart from a small Swedish ethnic group in the West, they are about 5% Sami (North Asian) and a large part (>30%) Slavs. I don't know how tall Charles is, his stature may be in part due to having been a baggage handler at Heathrow for a time... The blue eyes and red hair are certainly typical British/Irish traits. The French surname is a puzzle though.

@@angrytedtalks He is half Finnish? That explains why he is so handsome 😁 Finnish and Swedish people are just beautiful, man and women and even the dogs.

Eyyyyy nice to see you here. Love your 7dtd vids

@@jansanchez879 Hey there. Thank you very much :)

Is proud*

Totally.. Edie would say to this... WOW... THAT SOUNDS SOOOO GOOD.

Wassup cap, you and glock should collab again

Hopefully he does. Nice guy, extremely talented, perfect role model for an up and coming bassist

And that italian guy

​@@condenicolau9160davie 404 😂

@@marcjuras1623 404!? you have to be joking right

@@blissfullsakura1776 right! 🤗

Yeah, that was surprising, good though.

Do you need distortion to make it work? I've tried for ages.. I thought you needed a whammy bar for that ;o

@@chutneyferret3569 yes at least makes it really easy. Turn distortion to max

I immediately came to the comments to see if anyone mentioned it

Yep, that's stealing the guitar player's lunch.

Yup, Eddie invented a thing called a "D-Tuna" I believe which helped him switch to Drop D and back to standard on the fly. Eddie would have gotten a kick out of seeing a bass player basically have them on ALL his strings, since Eddie D-Tuna was just for the low E string on guitar to go to Drop D and back. Also, it may be a bit pedantic to mention, but your post says Eddie "literally invented that too" when you mention the drop tuners, meaning you're implying he invented tapping. He did NOT invent tapping on guitar, just for the record (you can find old footage of even Jimmy Page tapping a note or two long before Eddie, and even an odd classical guy or two tapping a random note here or there) but he did innovate the technique far beyond what anyone had done before and popularized it far beyond what anyone had done before as well -- that's the more accurate (albeit wordy) way to properly describe Eddie's contribution to the guitar/music community ;)

@@DeathBringer769 Perhaps Eddie "invented" the idea of continuous tapping whereas in the past it was a fancy way to add a high accent note. Did anyone particularly do tapping in a repeating triplet form?

@@gregmoldovan5921 - Not even... I mean Eddie basically took an existing method and brought it to the ROCK genre. Check this out... Ignore the title, as the technique has been around for CENTURIES on various stringed instruments that we don't even use in Western culture, but this is a pretty fun example of early tapping on a guitar. The music starts at about 1:10 in the video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3y1WK040cAI.html&ab_channel=Liverpoolguitartuition There was another guy named Dave bunker doing AMAZING things by tapping on a "guitar" that he invented at about the same time (the mid-1960s)... There are modern recordings of him and his evolved version of the touch-guitar that are pretty impressive too. If anything, it's pretty cool to watch and see where Eddie pulled inspiration from. Stevie Ray didn't invent the blues, but only a fraction of people would have been exposed to it if he hadn't have brought it to the masses. Eddie was (IMO) the same when it came to the capabilities of 6 strings and a magnetic pick-up. He opened the eyes of future guitarists everywhere. A true master of the craft.

@@joebryant8500 Ah this sheds some light, thanks! So he made double-hand tapping popular but didn't invent, sorry you're going down like this EVH!

@@_Common_Logic_ Ico your statement about SRV imo he didn't BRING the blues to the masses as much as pushed it a bit to the forefront. IE: his "Little Wing" cover wouldn't exist without Hendrix, inspired by Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, et al. Plus Clapton and many others had been playing for years, etc etc. I get what your saying though...just saying.

Tremendous!!

@Mr. WhiteMan yessir it was, Go Pack Go bitch😂👍🏻

Still, he played a guitar part, because all the bass parts are too easy.

That’s what I’m saying!

Sorry. Those jokes will live forever!

@@AxxLAfriku yea no

@@AxxLAfriku what

@@AxxLAfriku you think your hilarious and so random and quirky but your just a weirdo

Because Charles de-tuned the guitar - ever seen a whammy bar on a bass ? ;D

@@AxxLAfriku ...what kind of pot are you smoking?

You can do this! believe in yourself!

Good comment.

same here.

I second the motion

61 dude got VH 1 in Australia on import.

I do miss the fav button

Suck up. Absolutely correct.

That’s what I always do

@@morningcoffeeOW I just have a private playlist for it, still has a quick add button 😁

@@markoer I'm usually a little more critical with my likes and such, but I knew with Eddie's name on it it had to be good

That would have been amazing to see live. I sometimes think of the incredible things which have happened in live performances which have been lost to time.

Better to be old, than dead.

Saw that tour. Saw what they did. Fuck. I'm old too.

Billy Sheehan is the reason i picked up the bass 14 years ago, dude is amazing

@@raksh9 2024 and still have my Eat'em and Smile shirt, it hangs in the archives.

Ok

I’ve heard this story told with either EVH or Jimmy Hendrix being asked, and about a dozen different guitar players in the answer.

If only Davie504 plays this

@@Lozt6508 Watch 1:59, and you will know, of course Davie will never play this x)

Cliff burton entered the chat

Fernando Gonzalez “everyone say hi Cliff, how ya doing?!”

Cliff! Miss you brother.

Which is funny, because those snobs are the ones that play shirt scale basses with a pick. I'm a much better guitarist than I am bassist. I have a great respect for ANY instrument, because they all take an immense amount of skill, time and patience to even come close to taming. I dont care if you're circuit bending a toaster and that's how you make your music, you sound like you, and for that you have this lady's respect.

that bass playing melted my face. i dont think i'll ever be judgy towards basists again.

"I need a million hours to practice Eddie's solo" (Compresses 114.555 years of clock time into 2 days)

Basically 4 D-Tuna's, a drop tuning device that Eddie helped invent himself, lol. Oddly appropriate to be using in this video for a "whammy bar" replacement ;)

@@DeathBringer769 Guessing that's a reference to the Steinberger? Every day is a school day on YT!

@@DeathBringer769 Thanks for clarifying this.

He had to practice so there was no time for changing shirts

That's deep

@@gh0stdem0n666 He didn't need to practice at all, it seems. The intricacy of his Orion piece just highlighted the simplicity of this one.

Eh, prolly he just picked the same variant on his wardrobe after a million hour.

imagine the smelle

Thanks 😂It's a LeFay D-Tuner

@@CharlesBerthoud You're crazy talented bro. Lmk when I can borrow your skill for the school talent show to look cool.

I’ve seen bass players do this before but this was the best. Far ahead of all the others

@@nextensi with that kinda talent you would become the school principal

@@AetheriusLamia bet lmao

The only way Charles could be more British is if the Tap God wore a "Keep Calm and Hammer On" t-shirt.

@@WAF74 haha 😂

Hi I see you in the comments of rudys channel XD we both like YT music content

@@correoparatodo4631 You are definitely right about that!

@@RC32Smiths01 yeah nik nokturnal like picture man of culture

Welcome to the club. I hope you clicked "subscribe"

Now you know to never to underestimate this guy again. He is unreal.

You're gonna have a great time here, especially if you're a string nerd. Charles is the real deal.

Never underestimate bass, welcome to the club

That's why you should never assume anything !

Davie smiling from his castle watching this 1:59 :)

Jared and stevie t ???

Seems to be a capable Bass player.

@@ralphwhittemore5041 I concur, that was awesome!

Evp?!

Congratz i was the 100 like :D

Or just 2 days

You might have unliked your like

Errr....not "taking the piss", just another cringe impersonation. Charles should stick to playing and give up on being a 'personality' for the main reason that he doesn't have one.

The antics in this video is obviously mockery at the highest level

I don't like Fortunato's insulting demeanor, but I do have to agree that Charles is definitely not "taking the piss" here. He's started this whole schtick based on Davies style for the past month or two and it's really driven me away from his videos. It's just not who he is, and I hate to say it, but it really is cringey seeing him do this. Like he's trying to capitalize of something that isn't his natural personality and it feels really fake and awkward. I wish he'd just be himself. That's why we all subscribed. Not to see another copy of Davie.

SIMP 👊 LeMAO

@@NautilusGuitars davie doesnt even have his own style, he copied it from someone else. Aside from the memes, which theres barely any, charles has a completely different style.

Why?

But basically all everybody does is copy each others basic crap over and over again instead of trying to write their own unique ideas to begin with.

Well said, it's great and he ain't milking the Death!

@@centaurus5676 are you a subscriber of Ben Eller?

@@pizzamon795 Yes sir!

@@centaurus5676 I am too he is awesome. Hes putting all of his Van Halen videos into a special playlist. I recommend it in a comment on his Van Halen Tribute video and he replied "On it!"

@@pizzamon795 That's great! He is also the only one i have seen play Ain't talkin' bout love properly...everyone misses 2 vital notes. He has a great ear!

Lol, who tf is Chuck?

@@liviuchirila2092 chuck is a shortened name for Charles.

@@stillwaters761 Oooh, sry man.

@@stillwaters761 really is very hard to pull off in strings bass

And no pick 1:59 :) ( _Davie smiling_ )

Davie 504?

That’s a solid achievement though! 👏🏻

I keep thinking about that while watching hours of VH vids since he passed, he almost always had a smoke either in his mouth, or in his tuners. Just last night, my GF and I watched a vid of him playing in his yard, and someone put a smoke in his mouth and lit it for him...I said, "Take it easy on the smokes Ed." Way too late of course. RIP Ed.

A bit sad so many people instantly KNOW it was the cigs, bad for you ? Yep. Deadly ? Possible.

Reporters said it was the metal pick that he chewed on which gave him that cancer because the metal went to his brain and messed it up

@@peet4921 More than possible. 500k deaths a year in the US alone.

I thought he died from keeping a metal pick in his mouth

Like slapped.

Then he take up guitar... epico

Epic

Slapped in his pants. Lol

This was "epico" But, I've been playing bass for 40 years. I know for a fact Davie504 could play this just as well if he was interested in spending the time learning it and practicing it. Davie has 100% of all the techniques used to perform this in his musical toolbag. This was a great video though.

Davie got too big for his own good. Charles has always come off as more humble and honestly the better bass player, easily.

Davie is still very talented, just not as good as Charles. Plus he doesn't have the bass capable to play it anyway.

Davie sus bro

Well, guess what. Davie and Charles are both better than all of you. Jeez. Does it really fucking matter?

Lmao

Why not? A Bass is after all a guitar. Just naturally tuned deeper.

He was a venison transporter? Fawn Haulin?

He chose his pronunciation himself so no, it's van Halen not faan haalen.

@@kilangalangamoekalon It's quite common that people decides to anglicized their names - better on own accord decide something people actually manages to call you than have your name constantly incorrectly pronounced. So as you note, the "home country" pronounciation isn't always what counts.

No. As someone who speaks Dutch, thats not what it sounds like. In Holland it sounds like van Hah-len.

@@rsvp9146 I guess that's closer, yeah. My Dutch sucks.

Charles is a master, no doubt. Where Eddie transcended everyone else, even my hero Prince, is that his guitar's sound sort of warped around itself and sounded like multiple guitars playing all at once. All that and super clean. It's the same quality Hendrix had. There's masterful and then there's transcendent.
