honestly, if you really compare it to other rock acts from the time, i dont think this was so far off from what had already been done. it seems to me like a very clear evolution from the attitude, virtuosity and speed of Deep Purple and the more bluesy riffs from Led Zeppelin. Van Halen just took those things and made them more extreme and it worked cause they were all really good!
@space_kat1 well said, every music pioneer learns from and builds off of those who came before them, and Ed was no different. I hope to one day call Ed the second greatest guitarist of all time, provided someone can build off of what he did and push it even further. Until that day comes, he's simply the GOAT.
@@epsilon6516I can't think of any sort of playingstyle, that does not exist today to be honest.. back then electric guitar was farely 'new' and unexplored, but today..

Good grief! EVH truly was the GOAT. Effortless switching between rhythm and lead without ever losing the groove, taking risks, and just flat out musicality at all times, even at speed. RIP.

That’s basically the way Eddie described his amp control methods . He said “ I basically turn it up until it feels and sounds like it’s going to give out or blow up and then I just back it off a little and there you have it “
he and George Lynch had that sound down early on for sure, listen to some old recordings of that time and you will hear how they both influenced each other
It’s sounds so fucking surf music but also very outer space. It reminds me a lot of Rock Lobster and other music from that genre. It just fits the song perfectly.
There’s been isolated tracks out for years, I’m pretty sure these were from the leaked files correct? I’m pretty sure that’s what he means Along with some other unheard studio recordings?
Being able to download stems from famous songs is something that's been available for several years now. But why do you think that's a bad thing? With them we're able to appreciate songs like this in so much more detail now, and get amazing insights into how these songs were not only played and recorded, but produced as well
MY GOD, IT NEVER GETS OLD. 3 DECADES AHEAD OF HIS TIME. NO WONDER I COULD NEVER LISTEN TO I & II LP'S ENOUGH. I WORE ALL VAN HALENS ORIGINAL ALBUMS OUT ALL THE WAY UP TO 1984. A MASTERY OF WORK ON EVERY ALBUM.
I was pretty good then, was playing in a band covering Yes, Tull, Floyd, Kansas etc...Heard this in 78 and said WTF is that...then saw them open for the stones in New Orleans, that year and blow the Stones off the stage, he was different, changed how the world physically played the guitar and sounded while doing it. Legend.
Lots of pants shitting when they witnessed the power of king Edward I heard someone was on acid and heard eruption and they freaked out and jumped out the window 🪟
i was a 12 year old kid, who had been listening to rock for 2 years before this...no words to describe how VH instantly changed what rock guitar was...
Holy Cow! Raw is right. Raw, powerful, unadulterated guitar wizardry. The one and only. There will never be another. No one ever rocked harder, while writing incredible, beautiful music. I'll never be able to get enough EVH .... no matter what. Wish he was still with us.
“ I’m the one , Atomic Punk & On Fire “ all paint the picture of “ you’re listening to a storybook career or a mt Rushmore guitar player made in the USA . Lightning in a bottle during the best musical era ever , words really can’t describe
This song has always been a favorite. One of Ed's heaviest riffs. When he died the podcast I listened to Dean Delray, played this one and Atomic Punk to show how awesome and full of grit Ed was. I sat at the stoplight with tears in my eyes as Atomic Punk played. Grade school memories!! Dominated when it came out, and dominates today! RIP EVH!!
Here is something about Eddie writing or playing a song. Eddie filled up the spaces. When most people write a song, if you hear it without the bass, and drums. Sometimes without the singer. You might not recognize the song. This is a perfect example. With just him playing the guitar. You know the song. With Ed's noodling and filler. There isn't any dead air. I think Ed, might not have always gotten credit for that
I always laugh when people say he doesn't use pedals. But every live video on here shows him with a massive bank of pedals! I never understood why people make up this stuff about Eddie. Oh, and the story he never learned theory. Eddie himself has said he studied music theory when learning piano, so he didn't need to learn it again when learning guitar.
Heavy on the Phaser or Flanger not sure with just a perfect hint of Chorus and just a raw yet killer Tone !! Selective Reverb - ED really showed what great additions all those effects are !!! He changed the Game for everyone that came behind him that were Amazing players as well Rhodes , Lynch , De-Martini ! DeMartini and Jake E. Lee should both always be in the conversation even if you don't like the Bands they were in . I started playing Guitar because of Lynch so Ed and all these guys added something Unique to the Guitar World but EVH started it imo .
No chorus on this. It's most likely the response lag between the Celestion speakers and the JBL speakers in the cabinets that he used in the studio. That's what the Sunset Sound guys said, if I recall correctly.
This song went through many incarnations. They had shortened it considerably and eliminated whole sections. Ted Templeman helped them trim and structure this final version. This was the opening number on their first tour when they were opening up for Montrose and Journey and headlining clubs in select cities; like London.
Crunch that was never soggy. Damn that sounded amazing. He was precise in his playing and picking. Makes it sound effortless like he’s winging it but this is proof he ain’t. RIP/EVH
David Lee Roth is now defined as either a circus ring leader in concert or "he can't sing live and never could". Or of course that he's the greatest front man of all time. But one thing I think is for sure is that credit has to be given for writing melodies and lyrics over Eddie's playing. He's not playing traditional 3 and 4 chord songs so this couldn't have been easy. So, props to Dave for that!
This is a genuine VH isolated track before the ambient reverb was added. I do like the ambient studio album version when mixed in with the vocals, bass, and drums. But this version shows how accurate Edward was with timing and feel. Recorded in 1977, and way ahead of its time in the 70s until now.
THE GREAT EDWARD VAN HALEN! YOU ARE TRULY MISSED. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER. RIP EDDIE. YOU MAY BE GONE BUT YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. THANK-YOU FOR ALL THE MEMORIES AND GOOD TIMES. 🎸
Wow, that's amazing. Ive always admired his playing, but to hear it solo'ed really reveals what an incomparable genius he was, and taken from us way too soon. RIP, EVH.
When you realize he was a drummer before he was a guitar player his playing makes perfect sense.., also, he knew how to play piano so knew some theory. Genius.
There isn't a player alive or dead who can touch this. His sense of rhythm and phrasing is on another level. Throw any name you want at this, nothing comes close.
I heard a funny interview with Wolfie saying when he was learning to play his dad showed him a riff and said, “ just play it like that.” And wolf replied, “ I can’t do that, c’mon, you’re Eddie fucking Van Halen!” 😂
The song was in his head in its entirety. He's playing the rhythm and melody altogether. The complete song was always in his head. Basically a singer songwriter with the guitar. It's really the only way to fly.
Fantastic! For anyone that's worked in that setting, does that sound like a punch-in just after the solo ends? I would never have heard that if not for this iso track. Man, he is the GOAT, though..
and amps... and pedals... and pickups... and variac... and dual amps... and studio isolation haha. No ones out here doubting EVH my dude, but hes not out here doing flanger sounds with "his fingers" haha. Keep it real.
Wow. It's like listening to it the first time. There's parts i never even noticed before. But they will stick out like a sore thumb when i go to play the album again.
I was 14 when this hit the record stores...... Music was never the same.....Saw them on the fair warning tour.... Second best album. Debut album comes out a time when a four piece rock band with a dynamic front man was dead.... Not only is this one of the best rock debut albums but you can argue that this band and this album single-handedly bring rock and roll/hard rock back to life.....
Now we already know that Eddie is the GOAT!!!. But as a "much older" original long-time Van Halen Fan. I think the thing that hits me most when I listen to any of these Guitar Only tracks like this one. Is just how much I underestimated Early David Lee Roth's contribution to the band as a whole. Could you just imagine how many singers would struggle to be presented with a bare track like this one - and then be told - O.K, now sing a great thundering vocal to this incredibly unique guitar playing???
Wow, he's so far ahead of his time. This was recorded in 1977 and it's like he came from another planet compared to everything else at the time!
honestly, if you really compare it to other rock acts from the time, i dont think this was so far off from what had already been done. it seems to me like a very clear evolution from the attitude, virtuosity and speed of Deep Purple and the more bluesy riffs from Led Zeppelin.

He was a freak of nature! King 👑 Edward.. the GOAT!!
Very well stated. We could go on for days, right? But your comment nails it. Love what you wrote. There will never be another EVH. Never.
I thought he was a human ,not a goat?
I think you can hear a slight stutter where the solo was punched in. Love hearing the one repeat delay in the chorus though!
@@sithlord7530🙄

I love those subtle slides he interjects. Long live the master!
I agree! I have never heard the slide up, and slide down during the riff on the full band version. Pretty amazing nuances here and there.

Literally just thinking the same thing. Its the little things that made eddie’s playing so great
He's just right on that fine line of going off the rails yet still staying in complete control.
Yep, another good example of that would be the song "Loss of Control" if you can find it check out the isolated track for that one.
Ed called it “falling down the stairs, but knowing where to land.”

Couldn’t agree more. Well said
That’s basically the way Eddie described his amp control methods . He said “ I basically turn it up until it feels and sounds like it’s going to give out or blow up and then I just back it off a little and there you have it “
And in his early 20's, 22-23. This style and tone of playing was unheard of in '78. Remember what type of music was popular then. F-ing incredible.
Almost "punk" in contrast to the Disco and Yacht Rock of 1977 to 1979.
he turned the entire world upside down. Guitar players would have been shitting their pants
he and George Lynch had that sound down early on for sure, listen to some old recordings of that time and you will hear how they both influenced each other
A generational talent.
This sounds fresh 40yrs later.
When you hear this you realize what a brilliant rhythm guitar player as well as lead AND songwriter Ed was ! RIP Eddie!
A raw and wild energy that never you will find after the 1st album.
Masterpiece
I disagree with that.
Van Halen II, Fair Warning and 1984 all had incredible hard rock energy
@@epsilon6516 right, but in a different way :)
@@joepipe1010 fair enough. I do think Ed's tone sounded the best in VH1
@@epsilon6516 yes Vh1 and FW.. in the first album tone and riffs were devasting
Sweet, so good to hear Ed’s tone raw without the verb! He plays so clean
A once in a lifetime guitarist who was Dutch & Indonesian who took guitar playing to a whole different level. EVH forever!!!
He moved to America when he was 6 or 7, thus, he was American! Everything about who he was, what he did, and what he became was 100% American.
1:13 to 1:23, one of the best riffs ever.
With those little slides snuck in there too, amazing
Yes. Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes.
It’s sounds so fucking surf music but also very outer space. It reminds me a lot of Rock Lobster and other music from that genre. It just fits the song perfectly.

@@scottgarner8270 He did learn Wipe Out as his first song, so maybe he had some influence from that type of music.
Wow….powerful stuff, just utterly phenomenal to hear isolated🤯
To hear it like this, it doesn’t sound so complex. It sounds achievable.
Wow! I never noticed the slide up and slide down during the riff where the vocals start on the song before. Pretty amazing nuances here and there.
My favorite part. So f'ing cool!
that's why he's the best, he keeps it entertaining all the way through
When he plays u hear no struggling everything just flows effortlessly
When all these tracks leaked, i shed a tear...

Killer song one of my all time favorites 🔥🎸
I’m so glad I grew up listening and playing Van Halen as the albums came out.
9th grade for Van Halen 1st album
What can you say? Tone, technique, rhythm, creativity, ability...he had it all. That's why he's truly one of a kind that we will never see again.

That TONE! Such monster tone, but so controlled at the same time. He was a beast
Such flawless playing, totally in the pocket on its own
Its in the pocket because of Eddies broad musical talents and being a former drummer.
He was completely amazing
People always try to say Ed didn’t have that much gain. That amp is JUICED.
His tone did get cleaner up through 1984
"Juiced" for a Marshall... that's nothing compared to amps today though...
Brown sound
Incredible,, fun to listen to..
