We were very lucky to have lived during Edward Van Halen's lifetime.
RIP Edward.
Long live the king of guitar!
That's one of the best short phrases / statements I heard since October ! Very well put my good man .
I am just now coming around , and becoming able to listen to the Music. I knew it would hit me hard but , the concrete is hardening and I'm struggling to accept that I , all other hardcore fans, fellow musicians , and especially those who were privileged to know him personally , or luckier yet call him friend , and I'm not touching a family quote on that , it's to sensitive. But it's hard to comes to grips with the fact that we now live in a Eddie Van Halenless world !
I prefer the previous version . It's an against the wind , uphill battle that seemingly has no or a dim future. The World's connection with the human spirit has been knocked off its foundation , & guess what. Billie Eillish might not , but the rest of us do..........we've NOTICED. ! IT SUCJS knowing WE'LL NEVER BE THE SAME. I KNOW I WONT . GREAT QUOTE FRIEND !
Absolutely! I’ll go one step further and say, blessed!
absolutely.
You could have said that he lived during our lifetimes. I like the way you said it better.
Interviewer: “you don’t have the fast finger moving solos you did in the previous albums”
Eddie: “maybe your ears have slowed down” hahahaha love Eddie
If your ears slowed down it would sound even faster, so it doesn't make sense.
Or maybe he's just hearing it slower, that how I took it, prob how evh meant it
@@tongyeong
I know.
I was just breaking it down literally.
@@AZ-kr6ff That's why you never get anything.
@@NickNicometi
I don't?
What dont I get?
I just got a delicious looking plate of fried clams set in front of me about 20 seconds ago.
Doesn't that count as getting something?
Rest in Peace Eddie, what a ride you gave all of us through music and magic
Bone Funkenstein love this comment!! 😘🌸✌🏻👍
Yes I am so very sad that Eddie Van Halen has passed, but his legend will sound out loud for everyone to enjoy. Rock it in heaven Eddie.
what would the 80's of been like without EVH glad we'll never know
I seen them 4 times ,. Once with Sammy. Good Times
Yes, Eddie you were great! you certainly made a wonderful impact on the guitar by creating sounds that no one knew could ever exist! very few guitarists can say that? Then you had the two hand tapping and I once heard you make your guitar sound like an elephant! and everything was self taught! also the skills to play and pretty much build your own guitar "Frankenstein" from other guitar parts! and everything sounded great! and again SELF TAUGHT! you were like Albert Einstein but on guitar, I'm glad that you did exist, but I'm still going to miss you. You were great!
RIP Eddie Van Halen. No one did it better and no one ever will.
Bullshit.
@@AZ-kr6ff what you say is what you are!!!
@@kristinasativa
Clever.
He was just a cancerous guitar player enslaved to cigarettes. Many other guitarists did it way better white not smoking. Smokers are are foul minority that need to disappear.
@@afistfulofpimples1745 music's what matters man...
During the time this interview was filmed Van Halen was personally responsible for keeping a small village in Bolivia alive and flourishing.
Just what are you implying? 😆
@@crusheverything4449 😤
@@paulaporter778 - I always thought that emoji was snorting IN. 😆
very true
I have no idea where I was. But this video was obviously made before his hip transplant.
We got in a car accident on the way to this show and missed the opening act but made it for VH!
Exactly. Nothing...NOTHING...would stop you if you had tickets and had been waiting six mo's to see a show like this. Floor seats, baby!!

Floor *seats?*
Talk about lame.
@ihate names
Floor seats are still lame.
Who wants to sit down and watch Van Halen?
Lean like a Cholo me
@@AZ-kr6ff I don't remember anybody sitting at van halen shows in the '80s, regardless of whether or not you had "seats" ya dumbass kid lmao
God please take me back to the 80’s and 90’s so I could attend just one more Van Halen concert!! RIP Eddie, you surrounded my soul.
......So I could just attend one more RUSH concert.. RIP Neil!
Never realized Alex was such a character. Reminds me a lot of Gene Simmons in how he speaks. More animated though. Great solid drummer. Doesn't get respect of Peart but solid and part of rock legend pantheon.
I recently read a bio of Eddie in a newspaper -- one of the LA ones -- and the guy said that with Alex playing drums, Eddie had a drummer who could follow him wherever he went, and wanted to go, musically. And really, that about says it right there.
@James Smith That’s quite a Top 5, with 15 drummers.
@James Smith - I agree with every word of that! I was just joking around.
A v h is definitely one of my favorite drummers ever. Peart on a whole different level as far as skill . Watch a peart solo, plays four different time signatures all at once, perfectly. Haven’t seen anyone else do anything close to that.
@James Smith - All are great drummers who have their strengths. Variety is the spice of life, after all. Sucherman is definitely deserving of those accolades and anyone of a certain vintage can vouch for Carl Palmer’s abilities. It’s possible Neil may be so beloved because he was one of rock’s best and most prolific lyricists, in addition to being a monster drummer. Those things are virtually impossible to compartmentalize, IMO.
I just can't believe he's gone, I'm heartbroken...
Me 2 buddy I love that man he was 2 good rock on Eddie in peace ❤
Me too bro’ … still can’t get over it
He seems to still live in all of us.
My heart is broken. RIP I will always love you. Rock on Eddie rock rock on 🤘🎸🎸🎸❤️
I wish they had this kind of coverage for the first four albums.
Doug Steele Guitarist it’s all in the vault
@@JoshuaJonesGuitar not really there isn't really one hi fi recording of a live show from the Dave days
I agree too much Sammy and his antics happy go lucky boxing in place I'm the best blah blah Dave and the band Starwood days till Fair Warning tour baby
Too much Rothtard as it is...
Does anyone else miss when girls had big hair and too much makeup? I do...😜
big hair yes too much makeup no
Miss those 80's chicks?
Not at all. Chicks were too fussy in the 80’s. I personally preferred the natural look and tight jeans of girls in the 70’s.
@@krazykat64 Some late 70s chicks had big hair and too much makeup
And super clean front and back along with zippo tats.
I love how Eddie is always carrying a guitar & noodling during interviews
tap tap tap random noodle noodle screeeee screee tappy tap tap
He never knows when inspiration might strike, gotta be ready.
@@pw510577w gotta take a hit of coke, too, cuz that inspires. Oh, and a swig of beer. Thats what inspires rock stars. Now for some inspirational, genius inducing weed.
Eddie has probably fucked every guitar he owned.
True story..2006 Eddies is at dave house eatin ribs with a guitar around his neck...finally realizes the conundrum he is in and laughs!!
Michael Anthony reminds me of Ray Jackson from bloodsport
wtf was that interviewer talking about eddies solos getting slower...I don't know any albums with slow eddie van halen solos.
^^^@Craig Harrison .. Absolutely Man :D] .v ..
He didn't know the correct terminology apparently. 5150 & 0U812 Eddie got more melodic & more focused in solo writing. A lot of solos just had less notes & more bends & octave changes.
@@BAND-MAID-USA Yep. Also, his playing to me altered a touch after the first van halen record. The guitar playing on that record up and down etc. was an onslaught of in your face of playing. From VH2 on, his tone and playing changed a little bit.
@@robertgoodwinr6523 I agree, and I think it had alot to do with the tapping. He only began dabbling with it a short time prior to VH1, so at that time he still played very much in his original style, with tapping being a new addition to the arsenal. Over time tapping become more and more prominent, where early on he was mostly playing straight blues, but really fast, along with some of his own oddball licks. To my ears he really peaked with Fair Warning but I still have a huge hard on for those fleeting magical moments on VH1.
@@lievliberant6019 Totally nailed it, Joe, good point. Yes, for sure, the tapping became more prominent after the first record and Fair Warning is basically my really last favorite album out of the Roth/VH era. I agree the VH1 fast picking of all the pentatonic shapes really still is my fav and holds up to this day. Genius
From 14:42 - 15:06 Alex/Sammy predict the future of "popular" music lol.
Great guitar tech, 110 shows and only one broken string. Give that man a raise.
^^^@William Najger .. Oh I thought the guitar tech was sayin, one string broken between the two guitar player's if it was I'm thinkin' Sammy broke his string, cuz Eddie is too much of a Guitar Master to have Broken his Ha!!! :D} . v ..
I believe that was Matt Bruck, who is now basically the VP of Eddie’s EVH guitars.
@@TimObert It is actually Zeke Clark. He was Sammys tech and took over when Rudy Leiren left. Matt Bruck entered the picture much later, in the 90's
@@chrisseanbaldwin Yes that's Zeke he was my neighbor when we all lived in Sherman Oaks at Woodman and Moorpark. EVH was just 2 miles away and on some late nights he would call Zeke and we would have to take him some coke to sober up.

^^^@Karen Bilyk-Vogel .. Wow you are so lucky to have seen Ed and the boy's Live, Eddie played a Show here at my City of Auckland a few year's ago, Man I was so Pissed when I heard Van Halen had played and Gone, cuz VH was the very Band i'd so longed to See Ever :D] .v ..
Go see Sam n Mike next time they come around. They CRUSH. I balled up my very first concert shirt I got when I was 16, and threw it onstage. Sammy signed it, and then broke out his rum, and gave a lot of us in the front, shots. 🤘🏼
@@therealwilfreddierkes9980 sure it wasn’t tequila.?
Michael Anthony 2051:
Still looks the same, playing Panama with Grandkid Halen band.
The best guitar vibe in Rock n Roll. RIP Eddie. My personal favorite guitarist!
I miss the good old days when Van Halen was a functional, productive band, and kicked out an awesome album that was great for blasting while you drove around with the top down.
Jeez..... this was 30 years ago! Seems like yesterday
Yeah man. I was a teenager. Or in my early 20’s. I’m 57 now
The band the ruled the 70s and 4 into the 80s got their panties in a bunch and cried and wined like the little girls they are instead of being four men and dealing with the bullshit they turned a half way decent band into a glorified bar band aka van hagar. They got over making noises and sorta riffs.
Only guitarist who has been playing the same solo for 40 years. Lol
Sean Fagan yeah that’s why roth left. He wanted Eddie to play heavier stuff
@@tonybranton if your 57 you were 27 in 88.
Alan Peters 26 on August 25, 1988. Born in 62. I’ve been a rock fan and guitar player from 1976 to 1981 and raised 3 children and wife didn’t work, couldn’t keep a guitar, became a sign painter and striper and airbrush guy, screen printed everything from shirts to posters 4 ft by 12 ft and built all my own equipment, no family inherited or influenced. I built guns that won world championships and I just read and watch stuff and live my 3 dogs that demand a lot of time but, I am old and still enjoy everything I did at 16. Y’all peace out and rock on!
What makes Eddie so impressive is his "Off the charts" rhythm playing which is often overlooked . It's ridiculously tight and just flows. Great examples are "The Full Bug" and "Hang Em High" off the "Diver Down" album.
His rhythm playing has never been overlooked,not in the guitar scene,always commented on
Yes Ed's guitar playing has always been crazy, his amazing use of finger tapping-based techniques is just the icing on a very tasty cake.
I have virtually never figured out and Eddie Van Halen guitar solos but I try to copy the sound of his rhythm playing. It's the reverse of what some guys do, they try to play his licks fairly well but they sound like slop otherwise.
and when they list the best guitar players and show Eddie, almost always they show him tapping. Eddie did many incredible things that are unmatched, his tone, swing, his riffs, rhythm play, his sound, his screaming overtones, and whatnot, tapping was the easiest part.
R.I.P. Eddie!! Thank you for everything.
great video and interview. shout out to all the roadies, techs, electricians, engineers, etc. it's always great to hear the guys treated you good.

Jesus christ is coming repent choose him today,he loves you.
Amen brother.
I was pissed with Van Halen came out, I've been busting my ass for years before they came out keeping up with Led Zeppelin Aerosmith and you name it whoever was out kiss you name it and then this guy shows up, with these Floyd Rose locking systems damn they were hard to get and those days the guy knew how to make his amps work . cried when I heard he died sitting on my motorcycle. He will always be with me💗
15:42 and now?
TruthSurge we wait.....see what son Wolfie comes out with but we keep watching VH & listening to EVH ! Cheers
Mate!
Sammy can take his singing of Pamana and stick it up his patuzzi. Diamond Dave forever!!! Actually I love Sammy, but as a solo act. Never liked him with Van Halen.
1988-That was the year they headlined the Monsters Of Rock. I saw that gig at JFK Stadium in Philly. Man I miss that place.
I was hopeful that there would be a little more of a Montrose vibe when Sammy joined VH. Sammy had more swagger and boogie than he showed with VH
And no music today could hold a candle to thier hard work. Alex, Eddie, Mike and Diamond Dave!
Eddie will always love on!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He was the most gifted guitarplayer and very unique in its style.. He did it.
Saw them in LA in 88 at the monsters
Of rock tour. I will Never forget it.
It was awesome.VH for life.
My parents were dating and got to see Van Halen during this tour on November 15, 1988 in El Paso, TX. It was my Mom's first concert and my Dad's third. They saw them again on the F.U.C.K. tour in '92 when I was 2 years old. I'm obviously a big fan as well, even got the EVH shoes and flip flops.
It's mind blowing, they set all this up for a 2 hour show, every show. I mean, all the peole, equipment, and transportation involved.
I was fortunate enough to see 1984, and 5150. Unforgetable.
The reaction of michael anthony at 9:58 when the interviewer says Eddie Don't have the fast finger moving solos he used to
"Best hit USA"
ヴァン・ヘイレンと小林克也さん、懐かしい
小林さんは79歳になり、今も現役でこの洋楽番組を1981年から続けてる。
安らかに… エディ
i remember David lee roth wanted me to replace Eddie and i was like no way man i'm joining the Army
I Don't think Eddie or Alex would let Dave Get away with that
Good choice my friend, getting married to your sweetheart or seeing one of your kids born, declining that job was the choice of your life. MERICA
So you did, and now you’re in the army
There’s no wonder why Eddie is one of the greatest ever. He doesn’t even sit and do an interview without the guitar strapped to him
At 14:44, Alex explains the future of music. And the future is here. Thank God for real bands who knew how to play, record and perform. RIP Eddie, there'll never be another.
Hagar sounds like shit on "Panama"... I love you Eddie, R.I.P.
It was all about live music then...no internet
ever heard of a record player?
Ok boomer
Why are boomers are so anti internet
I hate when Rock Stars think that they are funny! Just answer the question without making some sort of sexual innuendo or some other stupid remark that no one thinks is funny. I'm talking' to you Alex.
Gosh I miss the days of big arena shows. The lights, the staging and of course the great bands, music and fans. Never caught VH, but starting in '72 there was The Who, Yes, Alice, ELP, Purple, Jeff Beck, Zep...good times. All gone now.
And the smells
RIP Eddie. In every interview he’s smoking.... kids don’t smoke 🚭
Since his passing, I wonder how many kid guitar players out there not only learned guitar from him but also began smoking while playing because of him and now have a smoking habit?
Would have lived to be 100 if he didn’t smoke
It was all part of who he was though. Maybe without the smoking and drinking we wouldn't even know who he was.
Yes, he was a heavy smoker. Sammy would always jump in a shower first thing when back at home after spending time with the brothers... to get the cigarette smell off his hair and the rest of his body!@
I almost forgot to add.."for being 41 years old in this video)"?..... Sammy surprisingly enough, is able to pull off the yellow spandex without looking like a total moron(maybe 60 or 70% moron,but fo' sho' not 100%)....lol .I guess I'm just saying Sammy looks pretty good for 41 years old in this video(no homo cuz I'm not gay). I just know that when I was 41?yes I could have worn those spandex,but they probably would have fallen off of me for being too loose.,... I can't help it but be 6ft tall and 140 lbs.With a 32-inch waist.I'm not on drugs or anything like that I stopped using drugs almost two decades ago.... I'm just cursed with this"Joey Ramone"type of body(my head's too big at the top of my neck,I'm way too tall, if you match my weight and height together.(6ft tall 145 lb)?...I look like a farmer from 1935 Texas dust bowl era. LLike I said "I don't do drugs"but either way I'm still way skinny and I look like some picture of a miner,from an 1875 photograph....LMAO.... In my opinion,this was when Van Halen began starting to lose a bit of popularity for younger people. Most likely cuz the songs weren't as good as the old ones?..and nobody could ever replace Davr as a front man and look like he fit on the stage with those other three guys(although I will say that the studio stuff they were making around this time in Eddie's studio, was just as good if not better at times,than some of the Latter-Day stuff that was done with Dave. Sammy couldn't replace Dave,but if it wasn't for him the band when they've got up until the mid-90s, with a decent frontman. I prefer Dave, but I think that Sammy saved them from falling into "flash-in-the-pan" obscurity(as far as the people who were with Van Halen since the early days? The only people that had any fond memories of the band were guitar players who respected Eddie.Sammy just was there to pump enough gas in their tank to get them another 10 years forward.He's definitely partially responsible for them being the rock and roll institution that they are considered to be.because if they didn't pick somebody as good as him to replace Dave they probably would have faded out,and Eddie would have been remembered for what he did but that's just about all that would have happened as far as their career was concerned. (but I will never stray from the fact that David Lee Roth era Van Halen will always be my favorite. I base that love on my teenage years)
Forever thankful to Eddie for backing Holdsworth.
I've never seen a 12-string Tele before, very cool!
It's a Tele body with a Coronado 12 neck on it.
He used it for Cabo Wabo
Micheal Anthony, the big teddy bear they lug around.
Eddie is awesome but he is hopped up on something
the coca loca lol
And a l w a y s was, if ppl looked into just exactly how an addict operates they'd see he was every bit one all along, what ppl call devoted to his guitar by always having it with him is really a crutch he used to distract others from becoming aware of what ever he was using drug wise or how messed up he was. Sorry I think his massive drug use and addiction for years and years , tarnishes Van Halen. I loved listening to them since I was a little kid and I am glad I never knew anything about the stuff behind the scenes.
That is Van Hagar not Van Halen.
oh how I would love to see Mikey back with the band. And wow, I can remember when young women liked good music like this, and not the utter SHIT that is "popular" now
Hammy just put a goofy ,no ..........balls , Ham Halen. Never saw then once with that clown. At least Eddie did what he knew was right, even if Diamond Dave can't sing ,still rather him be up there, it makes Eddie play better.
There's only 1 EDDIE !!
Did Ed ever not have a guitar and a cigarette in his hand?
Great seeing crew footage, glimpse of Ed warm up etc, more of this if you can, thanks!

Eddie always has a guitar in his hand an extension of his body that is why hes so great
Hendrix too, his guitar would be on his bed next to him, and he would wear it to breakfast and play in between bites of cereal.

8 has been my lucky number. I still remember the 8/8/88 but nothing happend that day 😐
5,280lbs sounds ironically specific for the custom drum riser. "It goes 18 feet in the air, it's...uhhhhhh...16 feet wide, it spins 360 degrees. And weighs 1 mile."
Im still in disbelief that Eddie is gone and Van Halen is done.
I can't help but think that he "still wasn't done" in terms of blessing us with more music.
When you think about how it ended, it's kind of a bummer.
But, the fact that I rode out the entire ride, from start to finish, is a gift in itself.
I was a kid when that first album hit the airwaves, Van Halens music was the soundtrack to my teen years, and it kept trucking through til now.
Here I am, 49 years old, seen them live, listened to every album inside and out, and here I am realizing how lucky I was.
Thanks Eddie!! Thank you Van Halen!!
RIP King Edward.

ClarkHuman.com how about 1984
I was a kid in 1988. It was heaven. Haha.
can we relive the summer of 1983? way better...
Yeah enjoy that $3.50 an hour minimum wage. Enjoy gas prices biting you in the ass too you guys forgot about about that supposed "gas shortage"
I still am 😂🤘
i dont care what anyone says Sammy slowed this band down, Wrong pick for this type rock& roll.
The way you treat "the help" tells the whole story about you.
Looked like Peter Criss's old Drum riser except his went 30 feet in the air ha
"Panama" sounds great here, you can see how much energy every band member puts out.
I saw them on that tour in Charlotte, NC. I'm not sure I realized at the time that he would become legendary. He was already a massive star, but I didn't realize he would be ranked with Les Paul and Jimi Hendrix as an innovator.
I was at that show. Just turned 18. The best days in human history were from 1983-1989.
79 to 89
@@badmonkey2222 76-89 for me
Wow I forgot EVH played a Steinberger.
What the Gods gave Sammy in hair genes they took away in fashion sense.
Van Hagar sucked ,sucks an be will always suck! The early DLR era will always be best ,
Those KRAMER "Baretta's" like sammy owned were amazing guitars! KRAMER wanted to sell a EVH sig endorsed guitar but he did not want to do it so that is when they made the "Beretta" as a get around to eddie's decision of not wanting to make and sell a signature KRAMER.
I owned a few and they all sounded and played incredible.
After DAVID LEE ROTH's abandonment of or ostracization from VAN HALEN, he was replaced by none other than, the Red Rocker himself, SAMMY HAGAR.

wow. 30 years ago. Happy Times for us all!
I saw VH in '88 at Monsters of Rock in Memphis, Tennessee. Good times. Good times.
AMAZING FOOTAGE!!!!!
The theatrical prior to the arena's being built in every mid sized city in the the late 70's was just fine. Arena rock was cool though but not as good as in the theaters. this shit is all about money.. They forced us from the big clubs and theaters that held between 200 and 2000 people to the arenas that hold 5 to ten thousand seats in the mid sized cities that were being built 2 years prior.. the big city arenas already held 15 to 20 thousand but those are only inside big cities. Then in the 90's they built these big out door sheds close to the out skirts of the cities that can hold 14 to 20 thousand people to sell more tickets and avoid the entertainment tax inside the big cities. Unreal. Now people pay up to 200 bucks for a lawn seat for some acts to watch a band on a giant video screen and can barely feel the thump of the sound system 100 yards back from the front of the stage. Only very wealthy people can sit up front for what we used to pay 7 or 8 dollars in the 70's and 15 or 20 in the 80's. It's very sad.
Watching this on thanksgiving day!! Rest In Peace Eddie Van Halen
please quit smoking in Eddie's name. He died a HORRIBLE death because of them
10:10 obvious nerve strike
This is not even Van Halen...RIP Eddie.
Rip Eddie!! Thanks for all the ladies that loved your music! The 80’s were wild!

love these old interviews man.....😁
