- Coach's favorite guitarist of all time is Eddie Van Halen and the band Van Halen is one of his top favorite bands. But Mrs. Coach had never seen this, so it was time to let her experience the brilliance of EVH. It's interesting to see her appreciation grow as the video progresses.

Eddie was a savant. Self-taught. Built that guitar himself. I’ve loved & respected him forever and I miss that smile. ❤
“He looks like he’s not having fun”
Said no one ever
When you keep watching, you see the pure joy on Eddie’s face!
Intro was something he played to put his baby to sleep.. Classically trained pianist as a child. Built his own guitars and never learned to read music. One of his guitars is in the Smithsonian museum. Check out his interview on, What it means to be an American. It's great. He explains it all. No pedals or gadgets. Just one touchy guitar and a modified amp.
EVH RULES FOREVER AND FOREVER! 🎸🎸🎸🎸
I had the Great fortune to see VanHalen Live 16 times and Ed never disappointed...Oct 6th is a day I dont even wanna get out of bed for 2 reasons...On Oct 6th 1999 one of my Best friends in the world died and then on the same day in 2020 my Hero Died...Oct 6th can kiss my ass...
He was the best...
💣💣the King........really miss Ed......❤❤😢🎸
You got it coach the best of all time! I've heard most ..vai...satriani and many more. He is the most innovative guitarist I've ever seen!
KING EDWARD 👑
What's inspiring about EVH is that his influence changed an entire generations of players and his influence will continue on for many generations to come. There are so many wonderful guitar players that have come and gone and each of them had their own styles and influences, but EVH was something very very different. I'm just happy that I got to live in a time on this planets history that was shared with EVH. Incredible musician, genius, guitar scientist and player, regardless of his struggles or demons he had to deal with in his life. The man was a true blessing for music, period. God speed to EVH. He is sorely missed for sure. And bless all the other guitar players that have stood out with their talents. So many to mention. All unique and masters of this wonderful instrument.
What a fantastic comment. Very well said!
Eddie was a guitar god!!! RIP Eddie! You are missed. That overtone at the end! Amazing!
And he built it!
By this time it was clearly just for fun. Evh at his prime!!!
Not only was Eddie the greatest guitarist ever, he also had the best smile in the history of rock. R.I.P. Eddie. 🌷
He brought joy to so many, and it appears he really enjoyed what he did.
I agree. And when Mrs. Coach said Eddie looks like he's in pain and not enjoying it, I was thinking that I see nothing but pure joy on Eddie's face.
Coach.. ya nailed it with just that one word…. GENIUS!!! I love watching new people reacting to Eddie on God Mode!!
He is absolutely one of the best ever and my personal favorite.
@@CoachCastTV Couldn’t agree more Coach. I’m a HUGE ACDC FAN. Very first time I heard BACK IN BLACK album, in 1980, I was just 9 years old. And they stole my heart!! So Angus Young has Always been my favorite guitarist. But first time I heard Van Halen… IT BLEW MY MIND!! I never knew a guitar could make those sounds!! Then “ Eruption” came out, right before “ Girl you really got me now” on the album. Now the” Eruption “ solo is played as an Intro to that song. Esp on radio. But in 1985, Van Halen came to my home town in Montana. And I saved everything to go to that concert. Then Eddie played an even longer version of this solo. A combo of a bunch of songs. It was AWESOME. And still considered to be best Concert to ever play here!! Thanks for memories Coach. New Subscriber today!!
@@chrisstone5868 We greatly appreciate you joining us. I've been on a mission to get Mrs. Coach to embrace harder rock and metal, and she is coming along. Even in this video she went from not liking it all that much to at the end she could not deny the amazing talent. Some of the female rock/metal groups we're doing have caused her to open her mind more to this kind of music. It's so awesome you saw Van Halen live.
@@CoachCastTV Awe Thanks coach. Just happy to be here. And yes , even as young as I was, I knew what I was hearing, was going to explode the Rock World!! Love the Girl Rock groups, Heart, Vixen, so many more. Have fun. And I’ll be on the look out!!
@@chrisstone5868 Vixen is the one group Mrs. Coach did love growing up. Thanks again. Happy to have you along!
Master!
Have always loved the many different instrumental sounds produced and how many bits of different Van Halen songs were in that solo.
When he was young, he was fascinated by the effects that various guitarists made with different effects pedals (and combinations of effects pedals). But he couldn't afford all those expensive effects, so he set about learning how to produce his own special effects without all the expensive gear. He started by trying to imitate common pedal effects, but in doing so, he ended up inventing a wide array of techniques.
Was too young to see them in their prime but was fortunate to catch them 3 times with the Roth reunion 🙏🙏
Funny how I went from VH to Blackpink in my lifetime 🤷
Right haha
He would build different guitars to get the specific sounds he wanted. He was also so wasted at this concert he doesn't even remember it. He used to practice 12 hrs a day. He was the GOAT rip KING EDWARD
Great reaction!!! Psalm 138:7
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life.
You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.
Yu got that right! Many years of practice. Look up how Alex and Eddie grew up.😊😮😊
Eddie and Brian May recorded some songs together.
You and I sir are of the same ilk. I graduated in 87' and VH was an intranquil part of my teen years. My walls were adorned with their posters. I still have my shirt from the 84' concert! as well as the ticket stub. Paid $12.50. Boy has things changed! In my world the G.O.A.T. is a two headed creature with both EVH and SRV. Two different styles, but both masters of the guitar. Neither needs distortion to mask mistakes, because neither makes them. You hear every individual note clearly regardless of the difficulty or speed. Perhaps Mrs. Coach would like a nice solo instrumental from SRV like Riviera Paradise or Lenny.
Soundtrack of our youth, for sure. Thanks for the suggestions.
He did suffer from arthritis in his later years but you could never tell it.
For me, he is the complete rock guitarist. Nobody before or since reinvented the guitar like Eddie. Saw him in 1979 when I was 14.
The King is dead , Long Live The King.
That title has been taken and no one else can take it. Thank you Thank you very much. Good night Graceland. Saw them 3 times 1978 Texas jam Dallas cotton bowl. 1980 and 1984 Dallas
@@terrygarcia897 allota things have been taken. There has been more than one king and this guy is King Edward and may he R.I.P. as well.
Hey Mrs. Coach, just plugging a guitar into that system alone would be hard to control. What is playing here, HE INVENTED (for the most part)!!! Getting to show off is all a guitar solo is and he actually blended a few solos he has done. Eruption, from their first album, CHANGED THE GUITAR WORLD and what we’d expect every guitarist to belly up to.
I have come to appreciate guitars more and Eddie Van H was pretty epic I loved his guitar solo in Micheal Jackson's Beat it great video guys!
"Beat It" was an epic song and great solo for sure.
When Eddie was a kid , he played the drums and his brother Alex played guitar. They both hated it so they switched .Eddie tried guitar and Alex went to drums and the rest is history. The two brothers were together until Eddies passing.
That’s not true at all. They didn’t switch instruments because they hated them. Alex started playing Ed’s drums, so he just decided to play guitar. Had absolutely nothing to do with hating anything.
The music pours out of him👊🏽⚡️
And to think he was first given the drums until Alex wanted them and they traded.....
I saw an interview with Sir/Doc Brian Harold May about he and Eddie. Wish I could find it again. When they were doing Star Fleet together they would play with the tapping (and other) technique. Teaching each other their own tricks. 40 years ago! To have been a fly on that wall! Making those guitars sing like other instruments and even voices! Mutual respect between the two for sure! (because everything always comes back to Queen 😉) I do give the nudge to Eddie but would have loved to have seen a guitar off between the 2 in their prime.
Then there is Wolfie...........
Masters of their craft, for sure.
I love its “polyphonic” sound ❤️🔥
And the part of this solo that weirds people out is where he uses “ Volume Swells”. They’re like HOW IS HE DOING THAT”? And yes Eddie had a large background in Classical music. So he used his volume knob, turning it up and down. He was ahead of his time, if we just heard of him today!!
The best. Period
RIP EVH
Impressive, for sure. You might also be impressed by Prince's solo at the George Harrison commemoration concert.
Prince was also a genius.
Wasn't exactly a George Harrison commemoration concert. It was when he was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame post humorously as a individual artist. Prince was also inducted that night.
EVH, Randy Rhodes, Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Eddie was the greatest that is for sure! I did get to see Eddie live and he was the real deal for sure.
Awesome that you got to see him live.
While you tube is a awesome thing. Seeing Van Halen live was on a whole nother level. And thanks to you tube Eddie will live on forever. I was lucky/blessed to see them live several times both with Dave and with Sammy and I like stuff from both versions. R.I.P Eddie the world is a much quieter place and that makes me sad.
Well said!
Not Eruption and has nothing to do with eruption. just a solo session from one of the shows on the live without a net tour if I am not mistaken. Eddie did this at every show throughout his career and they were all different. I saw them on back to back nights on the 1984 tour and both nights were completely different. I saw them live 8 or 9 times. He just comes out and plays whatever comes to him in the moment.
She looks like she hates it all! He's enjoying th f out of it!
🤣
haha well Mrs Coach didn't look too comfortable watching Eddie but I do think you all would enjoy this little gal called Tina S, I'd put her on a scale with Herman Li of Dragonforce and Yngwie Malmsteen. She's very remarkable and i believe when she did this number she was around 15 it's called 'Tina S Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement" very, very skilled
Thanks for that suggestion. Mrs. Coach has never liked rock too much, but she had to acknowledge his talent by the end of this one.
His sheer skill and ingenuity is undeniable, but personally, I still prefer Sir Brian... 🎸
Rest in Peace Eddie
New reactions to Eruption live haven't been done in a while. Glad you all brought it back. The one she will DEFINITELY like is Steve Vai's Tender Surrender video... trust me Coach, you will feel like she just cheated on you.
LOL, thanks!
Hey Coach-did you know that alice cooper and glen campbell were close friends. According to Alice, Eddie wanted a guitar lesson from Glen Campbell. My top three are 1. Brian May, 2. Steve Howe (of Yes fame), and 3. Glen Campbell.
Did not know that. Thanks for sharing!
Best concert ever...of coarse, Queen. However, I saw EVH twice, AMAZING show. RIP Eddie. Boomer Sooner.
That was a custom made guitar, designed by Eddie himself. Unique. And a reminder, Eddie was drunk af at the time. He can't even remember this solo
This statement is false. He was as sober as a judge. The band had these two shows in New Haven, CT recorded for video release. Just because you say he is drunk doesn’t make it so.
Oh I’m so sorry Coach, I left you a response to your response. But failed to mention a request. Since I’m a huge ACDC fan, and lover of Eddie too, I was just wondering if you would check out 2 ACDC songs. Only 1 man that I know of has reacted to these 2 songs. DOWN PAYMENT BLUES- and RIDE ON. Both Bonn Scott songs. Both very Bluesy ACDC. Both awesome Angus riffs. Every reactor out there most always starts with “ THUNDERSTRUCK”. So COACH, PLEASE BREAK THE CYCLE !! lol thanks big guy. All my love and light to the wife, and your family. Honored to be here. Chris Stone, Billings Montana!!
Hey just seeing this one. Coach has every AC/DC album and Mrs Coach has even heard all of them, although she probably blocked it out on road trips. LOL AC/DC is our road trip theme music most of the time.
Classic!! Made me forget about K-pop for a second!!! 😂😂. I had a buddy in college in 1992 who played this almost as well and he got so many chicks for jamming in the dorm with that song!!!!
LOL...the guitar somehow had that effect on so many.
Think of it, rather, as a guitar demonstration……as only Eddie could do!
It's simply a master at work...a musical genius.
@@CoachCastTV
Agreed....I was just trying to help the lady wrap her head around it a little better.
I saw VH live three times, and it wasn't enough!
his son Wolfgang isnt that far away from his skills :-) must be in the family...
I was at this concert. 10th row on the floor. New Haven coliseum, Ct. Long live king Eddie.🔥🔥🔥🎸🤘✌️
Very cool!
Have you guys done any Iron Maiden? Try "Hallowed Be Thy Name" live at Hammersmith. Or " Fear of the Dark" live in Chile.
We have not. Thanks for the suggestions.
YES VERY VERY GOOD GUITARIST FOR ME HE FITS INTO THE TOP 10 WITHOUT PROBLEMS AFTER IT'S A QUESTION OF TASTE AS YOU SPECIFIED IN A COMMENT ABOUT BRIAN MAY WE CANNOT CLASSIFY BECAUSE EACH HAS THEIR DIFFERENT TASTES WE ARE ALL MADE DIFFERENTLY.
MY FAVORITE GUITARIST IS JIMY HENDRIX HIM INVENTED AND MADE NEW SOUNDS DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES BUT WE NEED TO PUT IT INTO THE CONTEXT OF THE TIME AND VAN HALEN 20 YEARS LATER SO HERE YOU GO.
AFTER MRS COACH LOVES YOU EDDY VAHLEN HE MADE A SOLO ALBUM WITH BRIAN MAY....LISTEN TO THE ALBUM PERSONALLY CALLED "STAR FLEET PROJECT"
THIS IS A GIFT FROM ME
WAITING FOR MY LAST SUGESTION FROM QUEEN
SON AND DAUGHTER LIVE
Yes, we read Eddie worked with Brian. We'll have to check it out sometime. Great comment, and Hendrix is absolutely a legend.
0:05 / 10:12
Queen - Live At The Rainbow '74 (Bonus | Full HD 1080)
While certainly not to the same extent as Eddie (RIP Maestro!), you should check out Nightwish's cover of Pink Floyd's "High Hopes" from their 2005 End of an Era tour. While Marko's singing is amazing in that one, Emppu has a couple amazing solos that he just knocks out of the park. I think you will love it.
Thanks! We've put that on our to-do list.
The king KING EDWARD VAN HALEN. Eddie almost always had a little classical in his music because the fact that he was a classically trained on the piano even though he was never taught to read music. As a young boy playing the piano he just copied what the other kids played. Once he and his brother decided to start their own band and Alex taught himself how to play the drums while Eddie was out delivering papers to pay for the drum and so he took Alex's guitar and taught himself how to play and after years of 15 to 18 hours a day playing the guitar the world was finally introduced to the person who was to become the GREATEST GUITARIST EVER...(GOAT ) Eddie was a musical genius, savant, protagy and many believe that he came from another planet to show ups mere mortals what sounds could do on a guitar. His one downfall was starting to smoke at 12 and using a pick made of soething that would eventually give him cancer and finally kill him. I personally do not care what anyone thinks who is the greatest guitarist ever because we already know that the GOAT is Mr. Eddie Van Halen. And his son is almost as amazing as the father. We miss his incredible music. He will live on for eternity because of his amazing music!!!
Eddie is the GOAT for Coach, also.
I wish Marty McFly had played this at the Enchantment Under The Sea dance.
LOL!
The king! But for me, it's Randy Rhoads.
OMG ... EDDIE VAN HALEN takes me back to my.high school days. He was such a master guitarist. This was very special today Coach ... THANK YOU
Speaking of high school, a huge rock group from back then just released a song / MV last week, when I saw it pop up I was like .. *"NO WAY!!"*
• *MOTLEY CRUE - "DOGS OF WAR"*
Oh geez, didn't know Motley Crue had a new one either. That's also one of Coach's top groups.
OK, I will admit that there is great mastery there that probably can't be matched by many. But, I found it difficult to listen to and had to quit after a while.
If you want to watch an awesome Eruption cover, Here - Quadratum (Unlucky Morpheus) Eruption & The Dance of Eternity cover. Eruption was done on the Violin!! th-cam.com/video/sF2qOfdvnk0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=A3upBO6va2T8uavC
FYI, never of fan Of Van Halen or Eddie.
Interesting. Thanks!
The Master?...
Maybe "The Maestro?.."..
Uhmmm...maybe...depends on genres...SRV...blues...Tommy Emmanuel...acoustic...At that time? Eddie?...Maybe Mark Knoffler...Or...Maybe..Eric Clapton...Personally...any era...Jimmy Page..
Mrs Coach/Coach...really starting to "appreciate ya!"..
(hidden reference) 👊
Edit- Please review ANY Tommy Emmanuel...you wont be disappointed!
Wow she's the first one to say it doesn't look like he's having fun. Did she blink or move for anyone bc if she wasn't impressed with Eddie and thinks it's weird 🤔 😐 ever everything in that solo he wrote. He just arranges it different
Between the beginning and end she certainly came to see his incredible talent. 👍
Sammy or Dave?
They are both excellent rock front men. I'm personally partial to Sammy.
Agreed...personal preference for me as well
Star Fleet (Complete Version / 2023 Mix)
WITH A VERY GOOD SOUND . and the guitar solo with eddy and brian is terrible too, this just for you, if you have a little time listen to it personally it is not a suggestion and you will say what you think
He's not the best guitarist that ever lived. He's one of a number of best guitarists that live or lived. Others that you may have heard or not heard are Frank Zappa, Stevie Vai, Robert Fripp, Joe Satriani, Alan Holsworth, John Petrucci from Dream Theater, Rory Gallagher, Jimmy Page and Ritchie Blackmore.
Eruption is just the one piece he did in the way shown in the video. To be honest, most guitarists point out it may look and sound good, but it's not something they would do as playing the guitar is about feel and not how many notes you can play as quick as you can. I remember in 1978, there was talk of this new group blowing off the stage the main act Black Sabbath on the UK tour. My friend got their first album upon release and it was great. I remember hearing the second album at another friend's the following year. I was so disappointed. The only other Van Halen album I like is the last Dave Lee Roth album called 1984.
I listenened to all the DLR albums I had not heard llast year on streaming. There was some decent tracks, but I wasn't bowled over.
There is a live version of Steve's Spanking by Frank Zappa from 1981. The then current band featured Stevie Vai. The guitar duelling between them is brilliant.
The wonderful thing about music and other art is that each piece speaks individually to each person differently. There is no wrong answer to the question who is the best, because each person must decide that for themselves. There are certainly many talented individuals. For Coach, EVH is the best.
You left out Jeff Beck.
@@outwest1014 Apologies.
@@CoachCastTV I get that.
He couldn't read music... this all comes from memory
Amazing!
The great thing about Eddie Van Halen as a guitarist is that he didn't use a pedal board like a load of electric guitar players do. Only thing he used for certain sound effect was the whammy bar. Other than that it was just Eddie and the guitar.
Yes, absolutely special talent...and the sounds he could make are just amazing. You wonder how many hours he put into just discovering what he could actually do with that guitar.
he is great but for me ANGUS YOUNG is best of all time ac/dc
Love Angus...AC/DC is Coach's favorite band. I overall like Eddie's sound a bit better, but both are legends, for sure.
thank you Coach
