I must say with all due Respect ! To have Eddie Van Halen say that your Riffs in a song makes him feel the Raw Power in what your doing most certainly is a huge compliment to anyone... He has inspired and revolutionized not only the Way a guitar can be played but also how music its self can be arranged unlike anyone before him or after, still to this day,,, Simply put, music wouldn't be what it is today without him doing what he done better then anyone alive
Absolutely is the best Bon Scott era tune...the was the last AC/DC album I got (about 20 years ago) that is the most powerful guitar song of the 70's...especially right after the solo
First of all. When non musicians ask what is it about those riffs that are so inspiring, a real musician can’t fully explain because it’s an unexplained feeling. It’s all emotion during that piece of work. But. Musicians just get it. When Eddie held his arms out. We felt it. Rip Eddie.
Eddie was the best...so sad, I feel the same about Powerage, pure rock and roll, down payment blues, that energy, gives me the chills everytime I hear those riffs and Bon's lyrics.
I always thought that they didn't like each other, but after Eddie's passing I've seen things that prove that wrong. They actually really admired each other a lot. Rip Eddie
@@Looking4lightning There is an interview with Angus where he remembers getting a phonecall at 2 am at his home in Holland. His wife Ellen answered the phone and has a conversation in Dutch. Angus thought that she was talking to one of her friends. Ellen then passes the phone to Angus. Eddie then praises Angus's guitar playing. Angus's response was "do you realize it is 2 am".
Seeing this reminds me of wtf I "like" about Eddie Van Halen......his "congratulatory", modest, nature to bands that "some people" (but NOT "me"!)....considered to be a "rival" group (at least, during the 70's & 80's).....👍😁🥰😍
He was very right, it's one of my favorite albums :) I like their new stuff too tho, but the Bon Scott years were quite special. Perhaps when we look back to things that might not come back, eventually we will learn to appriciate the stuff more. That's what happened with the Bon era.
day on the green rock de 1978 e 1979 , pre monster of rock, o acdc massacrou todos os participNtes, até o eddie van halen , palavras dele eddie van halen " nunca tinha visto nada igual em som aov vivo, confesso q me assustei com a energia q gera o acdc ao vivo."
Awesome song off an awesome album. Powarage was the first AC/DC album I'd heard and I was like "Whoa". The press had been calling them "punk"and that was the furthest thing from the truth.
This made me happy to see Eddie talking like he's still a kid. I get like this over great music and I'm 50. I was afraid after I recovered from addiction that the passion would die, because my emotions were dead for a time. But once I was detoxed and started running, then replaced deadly, delicious heroin with kratom, I get excited again to hear AC/DC, KISS, Miles Davis, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Van Halen, Merle Haggar, Smokey Robinson, The Spinners: I love it all.
Nah. Van Halen and AC/DC toured together once years ago and Eddie's mentioned times how every night he would be completely blown away by their energy and the pure, raw power in the simplicity of their songs. Supposedly, _Panama_ was written to sound something like an AC/DC style song.
Eddy dijo q la mejor banda q vio fue ac/dc,en vivo son pura energia de principio a fin,nadie los supera. El cuenta una vez qntoco despues de ac/dc y se preguntaba "y ahora q mierda hacemos para superar esto?? Los principios de van halen fue como teloneros de ac/dc despues hicieron su camino,por eso el respeto de eddy hacia esta banda !!!
OK guys, ionteresting video, but you asked him specifically about favourite *riffs*. But then when he names the songs, you _don't_ play the parts of the songs with the riff but you play the _guitar solo_ part. Where the riff is barely audible or not present. That makes no sense.
Wow.i thought EVH didn't listen to other music. I remember him saying the last he listened to was Peter Gabriel's So Album. Maybe he thinks he listened to other music.
The entire Powerage record rules!
Too true
Eddie mentions AC/DC-Powerage 1 legend showing respect to another legendary band and album.
Also Keith Richards's Fav
good to hear that, Powerage is my favorite ac/dc record.
Wow. My favorite AC/DC album and song. How cool that a genius like Eddie acknowledged them both.
Same. It tweaked me to learn of his sentiment of that tune after his death.
Down payment blues is epic, but then so is all of Powerage.
Rest In Peace to this legend🎸🎸

This is one of the last interviews Eddie ever did 🥺
Powerage is my favorite acdc album....every song is just killer... and I might be wrong but I think that was the last album that Bon was on...
No...last Bon was on was Highway to Hell from 1979
@@daviddenson3324 ohh ok I wasn't for sure...
Burn is an amazing song!
Hell yeah powerage
Down payment blues and touch to much are my two favorite AC/DC songs but man they have so many for sure
Man,I love Down Payment Blues. RIP Eddie
Eddie was the best...so sad, I feel the same about Powerage, pure rock and roll, down payment blues, that energy, gives me the chills everytime I hear those riffs and Bon's lyrics.
❤️🎸🙏.....Miss the Master, no doubt!!
Wow - he actually shows his humanity...
I love Sober Ed. He sounds great.
How he described down payment blues was so on Point!
0:23 Eddie's a huge AC/DC fan!
According to Valerie, when the family would go on road trips they would sing "Big Balls" together.
I always thought that they didn't like each other, but after Eddie's passing I've seen things that prove that wrong. They actually really admired each other a lot.

@@gary1477 you know you're something special when someone wants to praise you so badly they call you at 2am.
Yeah... ed was good friends with malcolm.
Yes! Down Payment Blues cooks!
We miss you Eddie
Couldn't agree more, RIP brother!!!!
Burn does have a very powerful riff.
Esse era Eddie Van Halen um monstro tocando guitarra 🎸 descanse paz gênio
Burn is a Masterpiece
Powerage is a deep album. Lyrically n musically very profound. Great album.

Nice Eddie one of my favs from Angus .just hums along
valerie bertenelli makes me vibrate.
so sgree with eddie on that analogy of the power of the certain song. just the hair on ur arms standing up from the shear power of the riff
I think everyone likes Powerage truly Bon Scott and AC/DC in general at their finest. My fav track from that album is Riff Raff.
Heck yes. all of the above! RIP dear guitar legend!
Everybody loves Powerage
Malcolm Young AC/DC together with Eddie Van Halen playing darts in a bar the coolest sight you will see ❤❤❤❤
He was very right, it's one of my favorite albums :)

it's by far their best album; even after like 30 or whatever after that.

AC/DC were fans of punk and punk bands like AC/DC; AC/DC even played legendary New York punk club CBGBs. There are pictures out there.

I just love this man so much. Forget all the BS about greatest this or greatest that...
Bon Scott and Eddie Pioneers Legends and Greatness
Best album ever
Dude, powerage greatest fucking rock album
God bless this guy. Giant .....
Damn, all my heros are getting old. I am too.
+Neil Tipton Better to be old and have good taste in music than to be young and have no clue. (y)
They may be getting old, but they are still better than ANYONE doing it today.Any one of those guys can still pack a stadium.
Amen to that brother... Saw EVH and company when I was 20. Now Im 1 under 50. : /
CAN'T BELIEVE, ........MINE TOO!!! Thought i was the only one!
i love that guy
Hi Eddie!🤘
He is correct.
Solid
Shit Its great to hear him glorify Angus, I thought VH hated ACDC so thats cool

Eddie was really good friends with Malcolm.
RIGHT YOU ARE BART
I got holes in my shoes
RIP evh🥺🤟
LOVE TO HAVE SEEN HIS FACE IN 1980-1 WHEN HE HEARD BLIZZARD OF OZZ AND DAIRY OF MAD MAN ..OOOPS CANT MEMTION THOSE RIFFS LOL!!
He wasn't impressed.

Onkle Daktari saw acdc and van halen late '70s.
condivido con EDDIE
At last ! Eddie admitting Angus and Toni are the best !
Nothing new. He has been praising them for years.
EVH was the best...

Wow.i thought EVH didn't listen to other music. I remember him saying the last he listened to was Peter Gabriel's So Album. Maybe he thinks he listened to other music.
ya i heard that too but this music hes talking about is before that.
I'm not sure how to pronounce this...I've also pronounced Powerage like 'Power - rage' not the literal 'Powerage'...I guess Eddie's right!
no Crazy Train?
Schweeet!
Who would've ever thought Angus would turn out to be as big of a prick as Eddie?
How?
wahwah1013 like you know cockhead. You’ve never met either even I& you did you may have caught him on a bad day
Good gravy "musical journalists" are the absolute scum of the earth next to gamer journos. Not a lick of sense or decency amongst em.
Pull my finger, I’ll show you some power 🤣
