At least she got to know them when they were active. They had their final concert in Oct 2015. Billie Eilish on the other hand apparently didn't know who they were. How could someone not know them? Taylor Swift knew who they were. She is so skinny and hot looking. Her hair and bangs is nice. The thing is that Wolfgang was closer to her age than the other three older VH members, he was born in 1991 and Taylor was born in Dec 1989. Now Wolf has his own band Mammoth WVH. Sammy Hagar and Mike Anthony are doing a VH tribute tour this July and August.
This song sounded great until David Lee Roth started singing and he didn't sing the lyrics correctly. I get that his voice is NOT as it used to be but that shouldn't change the phrasing of the lyrics. Also, Alex Van Halen must have forgotten the way the drums are played when the song towned down for Eddie's 2nd semi-solo before Roth's spoken words! 😒 Thank goodness we'll always have the original recorded song forever! 😁
@What Are You On About Eddie Van Halen's Rock N Roll Last Performance At the 2015 Billboard Music Awards Before His Death in 2020 5 Years Later in 2020.
My condolences to his son, wife, brother, and the rest of his family. Let's not forget Valerie. It seems like she and Eddie were just married yesterday and they were the cutest couple. Time flies. Rest in peace, Eddie.
Van Halen is all I'd listen to growing up in the 80's and now . Glad I sawr them at the Hollywood bowl in 2015. Little did I know it would be the last time . Rest up Eddie .
You & me both brother. I'm 50 & it hit me like a train when I heard he died. The soundtrack of my youth fell silent. Thank the gods we still have the music.
1978 Van Halen’s first national tour. Memorial Auditorium, Wichita Falls, TX. My sweet brother Allen (RIP) got us 6 row middle isle seats. It was life changing. Eddie took guitar to another level. Thank you Van Halen.
Everyone in the audience is dumbfounded trying to figure out what that noise is coming out of the amps and microphones... Oh yeah it's music being played live...back when you had to be able to write and play your music...VH..keeping it real
Oh...ok stimb... I am referring to back when rock music was rock music... When musicians actually wrote their own songs... When musicians actually went into the studio and recorded their own songs... When vocalist went in and sang their own tracks.. When bands went out on the road and played all their music... But you must be talking about the music industry today that is laughable at best...auto tune wasnt around back in the day.... 90%of that audience musicians use backing tracks and hired writers to write their songs,and hired musicians to go into the studio and out on the road with them...music today isn't even in the same arena as all the icons of years past...so, before you call anyone ignorant you might want to put down your Britney Spears CD.....
Ok... usually don't carry on conversations with reply comments,but being a musician for over 30 years...having toured extensively and recorded extensively I have nothing but respect for any musician that writes and plays their music, even pop music.... I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin , Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Rush Etc and I find it very hard to compare any music today to the music from any of those band's..music back then was real,do I like pop...no.. if a musician can come out on stage with nobody else around and do their thing that's great , unfortunately 80% of everybody out there today does the exact opposite and has to load the stage with everything they can possibly get on there to distract the people from the lack of talent they have..the music has been lost to the business side of it...just saying.....
@@p40tomahawk41 you're full of shit to claim that humans lost the ability to play or sing after Ed got a record contract. Thats generic asinine fanboy shit talk
@stimb wheres the tapping? wheres the mascara? wheres the song about drinking beer at home? or the one about drinking beer at the party? how about another track talking about how funny it was to drink beer at the hotel bar and ransack it?
I get emotional watching Eddie go face to face with Wolfgang while they're doing harmonies. What a joy it must have been to be in the band with his son, and damn if Wolf isn't killing on that bass. I would have been proud as hell. Much as I love Michael Anthony, I'm really glad I got to see this version of Van Halen.
@@vzeller nah. DLR would just go back to doing nothing but enjoying his millions while living in Japan. You can't cancel greatness. Greatness cancels you.
We all know Roth doesn't sound the best anymore, but look at his smile at 3:29. He looks so happy to be on stage, rocking with Van Halen again; imagine all the good memories he gets up there?
@@jenniferfloydaranilla4015 Your right but am one of the lucky few able to LOVE THIS age 14 Playing guitar because of amazing guitarist back in the 80s Rock lives on!
It has taken me a sold week to learn just the intro! See me in a year or so and maybe I'll have half the song down. He's really great, and the original VH is the one.
David Lee Roth was 60 years of age when this vid was made. He's abused his body with drinking, smoking, and drug use, yet can still jump around like a man half that age, he's is thin as a rail and still looks great. I'm in my mid 50's now, have taken no drugs, don't drink, don't smoke, am overweight, and even my aches and pains have aches and pains. Life is definitely not fair (lol).
I wasn't that much into Van Halen, and then I heard that Eddie Van Halen had passed away and suddenly I started to listen to their music. I loved how Eddie always looked like a puppy with a huge smile. After having their songs on repeat, when I began to see articles online about his death, it really hit me 100x worse that such a legend was taken from us too early. And that band I didn't care much about became so important but still sad because now I was too late to truly experience Eddie Van Halen. R.I.P. you guitar legend.
It's better late than never. Frankly, I think it's beautiful that people are discovering just how full of joy and verve his music is and that he's still touching people's lives from beyond the grave. We may never get to see him light up an arena with a grin and a guitar riff again, but his legacy will will live on.
No, your right on time! 😀 Begun here, and don't look back I grew up listening to them and other Rock as well, and trust me, it was a blow in the Music world if rock, but music in general, Eddie was very versatile when working with other Artists, he was known by so many. We will never have another Eddie in any lifetime. Prayers to the Van Halen family.
Am quite similar with your thoughts. Grew up in 80s and never paid too much attention to VH though liked some of their songs from time to time. For some reason Eddie's passing hit me hard - perhaps knowing he was part of your upbringing even remotely in a positive way. I recall watching a late night video show featuring Jump and can still recall his smile during his solo and my friend saying, "Eddie's always smiling'. Now wanting to learn more about him and VH.
It's never too late to discover music no matter what teases your pallet.I remember buying their debut record on a whim just because of the cover....WOW!!!!! was I blown away. I couldn't wait to play it for my friends and they couldn't believe their ears either. It's just a sin that great musicians don't become legends before they leave us.On June 6th 2021 his son Wolfgang is releasing his first album entitled Mammoth WVH. I encourage you to check RU-vid for some of his early titles from his solo album. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
I was one of the lucky multitude who bought this album when it hit the stores in 1984 and was BLOWN AWAY!!!!! It still gives me that kick 40 years later!!! Damn!!!
Hendrix, Clapton and maybe a few of others are on the list of greatest, but EVH is clearly the one guitar player over the last 50 years you'd have to think Hendrix would say "wow, that guy is on the list".
@@a.barnard3205Hendrix recorded are you experienced in 1967.....It is 2019. “Woodstock 50,” a three-day festival honoring the original 1969 event. Um.....
Eddy is the best, he's not only good at the guitar he's also a genius musician. The sounds and music he makes from the guitar is really good and unmatched.
Long live real music...The master Mr 7 Pricey....AC/DC, Def Leopard, Priest, Motorhead, Maiden, Kiss, Metallica, and Body Count!!!!! The list goes on...Ozzy is my hero...Van Halen forever.
@@TheMusicHeals.kjhjhhg yeah but he did murder this. Though still great, if I wanted to listen to words I'd listen to an audio book. Eddie Van Halens guitar redeems the entire thing
what a coincidence....last saturday I watched Back to the future with my 10 years old daughter and she asked about the casette with a label "VAN HALEN"..........and I answered that he is one of the best rock guitar players ever......RIP EDDIE electric storm in heaven................
@@albertvasu5489 don't be jealous...I'm jealous of your generation because you have such amazing access to music right at your fingertips. When I was your age it was a real struggle to get music...one thing I would recommend is that you find an old 8track player and a few tapes on eBay. Keep that as an historical reference to what a struggle to listen to music we went through...and take in ALL kinds of music...get out of your comfort zone... El I'm 54 and I listen to post Malone
Honestly, DLR sounds good here. Not great, but good for live. Which proves that he could do better than he normally does. However, this was 3+ years ago. Who knows what the voice is like now.
Saw him Feb 2020 opening for KISS. Solo act of course. He's rough man, really rough. He still jumps around stage but beyond that.... not much. But, we all must age and we have.
@@ancyber6876 it’s made with the same producers and sound engineers that’s why it sounds the same and the lyrics are just pop lyrics and a lot of it is mumble crap with we had 90s or 2000s rap at least music today ain’t what it seems
There must be so many people here that grew up with VH as the sound of their youth, then life grinds on and you forget until you are reminded because a huge part of it is gone. RIP Eddie, thank you.
HENJAM48 We can only hope?, but unfortunately the pathetic record companies and commercial radio stations will ensure we are force fed a never ending diet of manufactured pop music, and rap crap 💩.
I was in all honesty I'm from Northern Florida and when the song Jump, Panama and various others we're coming out I was washing dishes on Panama City Beach, I was at this restaurant that was under this Tower needle looking thing on Front Beach Road in Panama City Beach Florida with a radio playing. Oh my God I just saw this for the first time on RU-vid and I literally had tears come out of my eyes. All of us that grew up during that era it'll never be the same. God bless you Eddie and the rest of the crew
Eddie always looked so happy playing guitar he has the smile of a kid in a candy shop thank god for the Internet he may be gone from our world but he'll live forever on here
This just proves that what makes Van Halen special, is Eddie and that guitar. Dave is ok up front, despite the fact he looks like Ralph Furley from Three's Company now. But Eddie was just amazing as usual, and sounds as good at 1984.
All the Pop musicians had probably never even seen a real rock band play live! Van Halen showed them how it's done....and how the MIGHTY VAN HALEN opens a song!!!!
Eddie is the best guitarist off all time none of the others come close to being able to do what he can with a guitar R.I.P. THANK YOU Still listening to you everyday
Love Van Halen. You know what I was thinking? That a lot of the people in that room were probably conceived after a Van Halen concert or while a VH song was playing.
Dave never could sing but he always put on a show. He's a one man wrecking crew when it comes to one liner zingers! I bet that dude smiles when hes sleeping. Cocaine is a hell'a've drug lol
That's why every time legends like these perform in popular music award stage, the artists in the crowd looks afraid, very afraid because they know their place.
Without Mike it TRULY IS *NOT* THE REAL VAN HALEN!!! Mike was such a great Rock Performer -- like the way he'd move around and rock it while playing. It's just freeeeeaking LAME to have some kid up there in his place that doesn't have anything to do with the history of the REAL VAN HALEN!
@@jeffolsen7250 I wouldn't judge him too much after all he is the kid of Eddie and also while wolfgang might not have the best backup vocals at least he still knows what he's doing and after all he's Eddie's son so you can tell he can still play bass real good
@@kevinpenafiel6975 I'd never blame Wolfgang. I get it, Eddie wanted to play a few years with his son. Wolfgang's new music is really good, a serious departure from Van Halen, and it fits him very well. It is a shame to not had Mikey those last few years. Eddie, even with all that talent, was petty and held grudges against Mikey for him working with Sammy.
