Some information for you dear Lady. Eddie Van Halen is the guitarist who played guitar on Michael Jackson's song, Beat it from the album Thriller.✌From Utah.
@camaro z28ss I live in Pleasant Grove, Utah County. Worked up at the Deer Creek mine up from Castledale. If you keep going up and over the canyon, you come out of Fairview canyon into Sanpete County. ✌👣👣👣
This is one of the best comments I’ve seen with a topic like this . And I’ve seen plenty of these about making love to guitars and you have nailed it 🤣
My first concert! My neighbor and I told our moms we were staying at each others house and drove three hours to Detroit to see them!!! It was amazing!!!
it's a modded strat... granted it's *really* modded, but thats what the vast majority of guitar players do: they take a guitar and modify the shit out of it to their own liking... or if youre Brian May you make your own completely from scratch from an old table top and fireplace
His original white with black stripes guitar- which later became the famous red with black and white stripes- was built by Eddie from spare parts, but the guitar used in this clip was from his Kramer-endorsed line. They built them to his liking, and I believe he painted them. He used to visit their factory in Neptune, N.J. to see them built.
@@GroovingPict right..... the Red Special..... with toothpicks plugging up the worm holes ..... he lost a knob off of it last month at a show and was bummed because it was an original one over 50 yrs old. I gave in and finally saw Queen (without Freddie) last week just to see and hear Brian play that thing in person and was not disappointed.
Me ontenz Actually, Eddie played 2 takes of Beat it and they spliced the solos together. They used the first part of take 1 and the second part of take 2. He also never got paid a dime for it.
He is part of his Guitar. His Guitar is part of him. I was lucky enough to see them many Times 79 and on really. He is a prodigy. Plays by ear. Made his guitar to sound the way he wanted. No one was doing the tapping and other crazy things he did. A true master at his art. Like you said. Being from that generation, we love seeing new generations loving what we found to he just normal. Our music. Keep rocking. Oh, his ex wife said his fingers never stopped moving when he slept. Lol. Seen van Halen 4 yrs agp. HE STILL HAS IT
If you watch Back to the future M.J. Fox dresses as Darth Vader and wakes his father up with a song from his walkman. it is a Van Halen solo and it scares his father to death. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BaYADHcpdng.html
sean berthiaume that’s right, personally I like Page and Hendrix of course, but also Cream era Clapton, Toy Caldwell, Leslie West, Gary Rossington, Billy Gibbons, Betts & Allman... music was just different back then man.
You gotta realize that when comes to amazing guitar players such as Eddie Van Halen and his legendary skills, you have to stand *in AWE!* Keep listening to Van Halen 🤘😎
Someone like Eddie comes around once in a life time. I am so thankful that I was around to see his souls fly. R.I.P EVH! You and Dime are definitely playing to a full house tonight.
Just sayin' -- Back then, we didn't all have cell phones to carry around...We used our lighters at concerts!! And you were also allowed to smoke in the venues during the shows!!
And general admission !!!! Wasn't NOBODY getting in front of me lol...... now *sigh* reserved seats. Saw Heart and then QUEEN last week. I miss the 70's and 80's....
@@TheRealSweetcherryo Yes, general admission...I got to see the Who with my older sister and her beau when I was 15 at the Omni in Atlanta. It was right after people had been trampled at a concert in NYC. Of Course, the Omni opened ONE door only, and it was a mad rush!!!! I probably squeezed my sister's boyfriend's hand off, but I was NOT gonna get separated or knocked down!!!
@@leeswhimsy that was how we did it back then !!!! We have some great stories and memories !! Now they are snapchatting or whatever during a show. Oh another thing we didn't have back then AUTOTUNE LOL people had real talent !!!
@Mike C no, Queen is not actually Queen without Freddie or John. Freddie was a freak of nature and a god and can't be replaced but I also love Brian May and Roger Taylor and wanted to see them before they are no longer around. And as far as I know autotune wasn't invented until 1989. I am speaking of artists from early 70's and 80's. I mean, I saw Elvis so.....I am talking way back lol
It is just so damn unbelievable how fast and how clean he is on this recording! He really was very passionate on this as well! Not just a million notes to dazzle and impress, he put a lot of soul into it this evening!
That video was from 1986, and nobody touched Eddie in those days. He was just as entertaining to watch and listen to playing Valen songs. (Pronounced; Van Hay-len)
I'm glad the bridge is finally being gapped. Music is the universal language that binds us. I wanted to share this type of experience with the black culture for over forty years. THEY make us hate each other to feed off of our negative energy. Jimi Hendrix got it, Bob Marley sought it, Living Color brought it, Lenny Kravitz taught it. We can all get along. 😊
There is a guitarist called buckethead Btw it would be cool if you would check out jordan by buckethead he invented a technique called nubbing which is an advanced version of tapping
That tapping he does made they music biz change the way sheet music was written. He can't read music but every time I saw them live, I left feeling like my hair was on fire. The entire show is every bit as impressive.
I was too young to go to the show, but I did have my cousin who went buy me a concert jersey from that tour. Needless to say, I wore the hell out of it!
Eddie taught himself how to play guitar but also took lessons from country singer and former Beach Boy member Glenn Cambell who was considered a very good guitar player himself.
A true mechanic of the guitar as fast as anyone, however one true melodic riff on a guitar with soul and emotional content will erase a thousand of those progressive, repetitive scales in my opinion of course LOL Thanks India
He's a lot older now and a lot wiser, he survived being a rock god admirably. And he can still play this just as hot and revved up as ever. And he still connects directly with the audience.
This isn't Eruption per se (A bit, a bit ... sure there are elements therein), but I can't complain about Eddie killing everything here. So awesome to see a consumed artist like myself (not a musician, just consumed) that pushes envelopes to our joy. I can only hope to touch the very least of this. Eddie rules.
14:15 THAT is rock and roll, m'girl. They LOVE what they do. In nearly every rock concert there are 3 solos. The lead guitar solo like you've seen here, a drum solo and a Bass solo. Everyone gets to showcase their talent. The piece of music you heard here, Eruption, isn't exactly how it is written. It changes every time Eddie plays it. The base written music is still there, but he always improvises around it. Sometimes I think he doesn't know what he's going to play until he plays it. 2 other great guitarists you should check out are Joe Satriani and Steve Vai
When asked how long it took for them to gel as a group, David Lee Roth replied, "None. We were all classically trained musicians." - Somehow I don't doubt that.
You said, "I've never heard anything like this you guys". Are you ready for a mind job? The majority of the stuff played he is inspired by Classical Music. 😉😁
when sammy hagar said the greatest guitarist i was expecting frank marino. or at least sammy hagar should have just done it himself. i was at the taping of live without a net in new haven ct and the 1st 2 songs were sammy hagar songs. he is as good if not better than eddie.
Every one alive needs to see this performance.. people really have no idea how amazingly talented Eddy really is.. the amount of discipline it takes to get to this “the ultimate level” is just mind blowing. When his brother Alex was on dates... Eddy was up practicing..
Thank You for this reaction. I'm glad you liked it. If I may I would suggest that you react to the Van Halen song "Ain't Talking' 'Bout Love" for your next Van Halen Reaction. Also it's best to stay away from Van Halen music recorded between 1985 to 2005, trust me. Unfortunately during the filming of this solo you reacted to; he was very drunk and stoned when this was recorded so this solo is not even his best on RU-vid. I have seen Van Halen 12 times in 40 years. I know what I'm talking about. Ed is sober now and the Solo at the Hollywood Bowl in 2015 is the best EVH solo on the net. Eddie's has influence MILLIONS of guitarists from Bedroom Bangers to Stadium Guitar Gods. The first Van Halen album literally SAVED ROCK AND ROLL from Disco and Punk, this is very well documented by many music historians. Eddie's idol was Eric Clapton when Clapton played with the band Cream. Ed's style is oozing with the Blues; Cream Style. Because the Van Halen Family was a poor family, Ed could not afford effects Pedals. He stayed home every evening for many years crafting his style in 6 to 8 hour practice/creation sessions. He learned to create the sounds that the effects stomp boxes made, but organically, without the effect itself. This dedication and determination, combined with the ability to hear details that no-one else can, are instrumental in creating this true Genius. Eddie is self-taught and does not read music. But make no mistake, EVH is the greatest Rock guitarist of all time. He is SO MUCH MORE than Tapping and Tremolo. There is not a more prolific and influential player that has come before or since. Love your take on the new to you music that you react to. I can't stop watching you videos! Please keep them coming!
Thank you for knowing Eddie and talking sense when speaking about him. My opinion is NO ONE compares to Eddie. Elvis started Rock & Roll and Eddie saved it.
Fun fact. Eddie Van Halen played the guitar solo on Michael Jackson's "Beat it" (At 3:07 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oRdxUFDoQe0.html ). As for the band Van Halen, I'm partial to David Lee Roth era Van Halen because it takes me back to learning how to play guitar and trying to tackle "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" with my buddies in the garage when I was in 8th grade. Also check out "Runnin' with the Devil", "Jamie's Crying," "Atomic Punk," and from later albums "Dance the Night Away," "Beautiful Girls," "Everybody Wants Some!!," "Unchained," "(Oh) Pretty Woman," "Jump," "Panama," "Hot for Teacher," "I'll Wait" --- I'll leave it to someone else to recommend Sammy Hagar era songs.
Just like at Gazzari's - thinks that "Van" is dude's name. Cute. The guitar player is Edward Van Halen and Alex Van Halen, his brother, plays drums. And, yes, when Eddie plays, magic happens. Flapping the springs in the back of the guitar body or plinking the strings above the nut. . . or "Eruption" (the studio version). Or this one.
This solo on their first album back in 1978 opened up a whole new way of playing guitar. For ur edification you should listen to the original Eruption, very much different from this...
This concert was August 27th 1986 New Haven Coliseum in New Haven Connecticut I was at this concert it was freaking amazing!! Eddie freaking was so awesome! I was to the right of stage great seats!!
1st of all his name isn't Van, it's Eddie. Van Halen is his last name. Secondly, as someone critiquing music, I can't believe U said Michael Anthony played BASS, like a fish. It's pronounced BASE ! SMH
I know you know who Michael Jackson was, EDDIE VAN HALEN , the greatest guitar player that has ever been on this planet, he played the solo on"beat it that should say it all. Eddie is " the greatest" ever..... Period
You can watch him play the same today. Unfortunately though David Lee Roth is not what he used to be. But Eddie still rips the strings off! Check out the Hollywood bowl performance in 2015.
If you remember the actress Valarie Bertinelli, thats her ex-husband. www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&channel=cus&q=Valarie+Bertinelli They had a son together named Wolfgang.
Hello India Reacts I am glad you enjoined Van Halen - Guitar Solo eruption. I would like to turn you on to what is known as one of rock's greatest kept secret Bands. If you're interested in doing a reaction I would think you'd find this very interesting. The name of the band is still Steel Panther American Rock Band Steel Panther is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, mostly known for their profane and humorous lyrics, as well as their exaggerated on-stage personae that reenact the stereotypical "glam metal" lifestyle. maybe you could pick out 5 random songs and ask Your viewers which one did it would like this you react to completely At random the guys are so funny they are very comedian that supposed to them actually wear wigs to clown the big hair of the bands in the 80's. I love what your doing and great the videos coming Fullclipstreamer. :) I guarantee the they are an absolutely amazing band to see live if you ever get a chance don't miss out the musicianship of these guys is absolutely phenomenal.
People still can't do alot of his work.Jimmy hendrix was my favorite then Eddie smoked everyone's shit.I gotta give it to him There's no better Stevie Ray was good but not that good
