I think we're out of the woods and in the clear on this now. I knew it was trouble when I made a video like this, but this subject would either last forever or go down in flames. Hopefully this doesn't cause any bad blood, but if it does, I'm just gonna shake it, sh sh sh shake it off.
Eruption.
Music is Win i can feel the pain in your eyes when you typed this
I absolutely agree with your statement in your video.
see my resposne in my other comment.
TAYLOR SWIFT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 LIKE = 1 BROKEN STRING FOR TAYLOR
EDDIE RULES ROCK
Brian May actually.

Crowd go crazy.
Who knows how many hours of practice for that trick.

Today's music in a nutshell.
knees week arms are heavy, there's a vomit on his sweater already, moms' spaghetti ;P Eminem is awesome ^^
I love how she's acting like she's playing the solo lol
This bending over is such a typical non-guitarist (Guifakist) move. They Imagine that wie Play like that
@@klemsepilz810 You learned that word from Steve T. But yeah she's a guifakist.
@@thisseagamer8165 hes my teacher and master
@@klemsepilz810 I see
She wasn't playing the solo, she was playing the power chords.
Basically she was the rythm guitar
To be fair, she never claimed to be the new Van Halen, That claim was made in a click bait article.
Yes, he literally acknowledges that in the video
Yeah
But she does do a lot of misleading stuff though. Like pretending that she was playing that solo when clearly she wasn’t.
@@ong2220 That was one example. How is that an indication that it's a regular occurence?
@@ong2220 she never did that yall made that up to get mad at lol
the title of the video made me cry..😶

this is an insult to Van Halen
This is an insult to every rock fan, ever

Ambar Tadich I agree with you bro.

Of course not...
Clapton can't even begin to compare to the genius of the Wayne!
Lil Wayne hasn’t been relevant since like 2013. Is he just the only rapper you know about?
Is it just me or does Eddie Van Halen look different in every video?
Yes literally

the roast is real
Best roast
Rayyan Khan Aren't you original, not
Popular trend now: pop stars picking up a guitar and playing a single note to make them seem somewhat talented
Aye Lmao
Yeah. It's stupid 😂😂
In Swift's case, she is a rather good guitar player, but it's just not central to her music in the way that it is for rock. The guy that gave her lessons was apparently hired for multiple hours a week, for a significant amount of time. That's pretty intense, and she is an accomplished musician. But as a general statement I'd agree.
Aye Lmao my man postmalone is pretty good tho
ryebread 07 Prince was a Pop (More of an R&B, but still Pop) artist, and he was a guitarist. So, I don't think Swift was the first Pop star to play guitar.
@@Flamestar320Prince also could play the he’ll out of a guitar.
She's inspiring millions of young girls to hold guitars...
Keyword : HOLD !!!!!!
Great.
Wow I love that statement
She trash
Well, I find that pretty hot in my women
no, The Dooo is the one inspiring us now to play guitar
Boston Zeng hell yea
No, it's scrambled hueggs
This is so true
The dooo Actually inspired me too learn guitar and I’ve been playing for a year and a half
He inspired me indeed i’ve been playing for 2 years now :,)
John Mayer left Taylor Swift because he was jealous that she was a shred-goddess!

its like saying justin bieber and brian may in the same sentence
@BLINK BLINK people with less than 2 semi functional braincells
The difference is that Justin Bieber is truly a talentless hack while Taylor Swift at least is good at business
Eddie Van Halen will never be beaten by a pop star
Hey... stupid... nobody said she could "beat" him. It's not about comparing talent. Fuck, you people are dumb. They just said that they both inspire people to pick up a guitar. That's it. How is so much of this comment section too stupid to understand such a simple fucking premise?
Young Frankenstein FUCK U
Young Frankenstein u don’t think I know that u fuckin dumbass bitch
Young Frankenstein there’s a difference between inspiring people to play the guitar and just holding a guitar
Lol this thread is golden

- Is Taylor Swift the new Eddie Van Halen?
- HELL NOOOOOOOO
Agreed
@Thomas Berger I like the Fear of the Dark icon you have.
@@symphonyofduckstruction7157 It is the masterpiece. I love Iron Maiden.
I have a constant fear that someone’s always there
@@danwells4088 I have a phobia..
Comparing swift to halen is like comparing a rabbit to a velociraptor
Edit: rest in power Van Halen. You are gone but never forgotten.
Chorri LMAO that’s the most accurate comment on here
never use Van Halens name in vain again
Yes
@marko polo 2
I like them. Good band...... oh, wrong Yes
@@tapeheadreal yes
"Vain" Halen
Agreed
Eruption was, what, the second track off the first Van Halen album and guitarist are still obsessed with it and trying to figure it out forty years later?
I see that Taylor has got that D chord just about mastered. Anybody inspired by Taylor can actually buy a guitar, go home, and be playing like her by dinner time. Maybe that’s the attraction.
I'm no Taylor swift fan whatsoever. But according to your logic, advanced technical ability and speed is what makes a good guitarist? Vai, Satriani and Malsteem are virtuosos, but have they ever created an album or songs that were REALLY GOOD songs, that other "simpler" artists have?
@@stupidazzo5404 Why people are just talking about technique or speed? Those things are not what virtuosos are 'only' focusing. And just because you can play very emotional and bluesy or jazzy song-so called good song that people are eagerly claiming*but don't get me wrong I love blues and jazz guitarists-, that doesn't make you a good guitarist. And if you search for those guitarists then you would find their amazing albums. Don't underrate them. Yngwie got his classical view on playing. Listen to Rising Force. It is very enormous and neo classical metal style. And Vai, he can make very progressive sound. Passion and Warfare, it is masterpiece. Satriani to me he is a very fresh and inspiring guitarist, he made great album too. Like Surfing With The Alien.
Dude, I seriously doubt Van Halen got so big merely on the merit of the quality of the composition... rock music was topping charts, they had the visual flair for MTV, which dictated trends... if Eruption was composed today, unfortunately, it would get lost in the shuffle. Unless it was Taylor Swift playing it.
She has not only mastered every chord but actually can choose chords and or scales based on the emotional response they invoke.
She has a performance of “I almost do” on the RED tour where she plays multiple barre chords. I’m sure she can play better than she does on stage, she just keeps it simple so that she doesn’t have to look down at the guitar (focus on the audience) and so there’s a lower chance of messing up. She’s a pop artist who prides herself on her songwriting first and foremost. She’s not an expert, either, but she’s definitely not the beginner/poser people make her out to be.

This showing up in my recommended in 2021 and me rolling my eyes at the way the media has *always* and still sets her up for this shit. Yes she inspires young people to learn guitar, and not as a pop star even in my experience/opinion, but as a SINGER SONG WRITER and *not* as an out of this world guitarist that she never claimed to be. So your comments are valid, and I get that you're being sarcastic but I also get why some(wild swifties) would come for you because I don't feel she deserves even ironic criticism for something she's never claimed or tried to be? It would be more accurate to say "who tf compared her to VAN HALEN? She's a great accompaniment guitarist."
no, she's a medium amateur level accompaniment guitarist.
@@Ass_of_Amalek she is inspiring millions to play guitar. She's the second most used artist to learn how to play guitar (just after the beatles). That's what the comparison was about, she's *as inspiring*, not as good as Van Halen
@@chrivs13 I get it. she's just very not good at playing guitar.
@@Ass_of_Amalek even if she is not good at it. She still use that limited skill to sell hundred millions of albums from the song she wrote with the guitar. While you? Self-acclaimed accomplished guitarist with no shit to your name and only go online baiting women?
is lil Wayne the new kirk Hammett???
Some guy hahahahahahahahahahaha you killed me bro
Ayyy I just saw Metallica live in Denver last month! Taylor is a joke
Logan Sigler Wow I envious of you. Metallica is great. Taylor is, well funny thing is i have not told story that country singer can't play guitar, just decent guitar player. She is not great guitar technician, but people compare her to great rock guitar musician, poor Eddie. I think that is very ridiculous.
Finally someone agrees with me haha!
LMFAO
Clearly this video is angled to make T.Swift look bad. This doesn’t show any of her accomplishments as a guitarist. Including when she wrote Eruption for Eddie, found David Lee Roth herself, and even bought Eddie his first guitar...she is clearly a guitar god
Zack Kornfeld Taylor Swift hasn't got the brains to write Eruption for Eddie and how was she old enough to write music for a shred lord in 1979
Pop music hate omg dude...that was CLEARLY sarcasm on zacks part!
Pop music hate Hey pal you from stupid town?
Clearly these people don’t understand what a joke is lmao.
Directed towards people replying to you
The answer is no
Just no
Don't even think about it
No
Somerandomdude 2005 nice profile pic dude
she's not even close to where EVH is at when it comes to guitar skills, that article was stupid as fuck. but what's also pretty dumb it pitting 2 completely different artists together. she is not a guitarist. she is a country/pop/folk singer who has learnt to play since a young age. she probably didn't spend that much time learning picking or legitimate rock music patterns, but she has her own set of skills to offer as well. her songwriting is incredibly good, and if you think that "she only writes about breakups" you would be hilariously wrong. not to mention the number of genres she's dwindled in skillfully. yes, she will never (EVER) be the next EVH but trashing her because of the pop songs you've heard on the radio would be stupid. bet you haven't heard even one non-single off her folklore and evermore albums. or even any non-marketed TS song ever. if you don't like her music, that's fine, but why shit on an artist who is pretty good at what they do?
THIS!! This video pissed me off because his comments are valid but I'm like.... why was the comparison EVER made?! It's literally just to give people an opportunity to shit on her for... not being something she never was? Taylor herself would laugh at the comparison but people give it merit and then use it to trash her and not realise her skills as a lyricist and artist. No wonder people spent so many years hating her when the media was spewing crap to intentionally make her look bad.
It's sad that people still refuse to believe that Taylor Swift is talented. :"(
Simply because it's the same sound pop makes?
he only shit on her guitar playing because her guitar playing is bad. it's acceptable for an amateur, but it's nowhere near professional. not just what she plays, but how she plays it. she has no feel at all and mediocre rhythm. she plays how you'd expect somebody at a random hangout or a bad performer at a pub to play.
@@kasunkavishka2976 she is talented but not as talented as Eddie and they should’ve never been compared.
Eddie Van Halen inspires me to practice Eruption.
Taylor Swift inspires me to avoid the people who enjoy her "music."
Patricide nothing wrong with it though
Sleep Just her music sucks.
jeez she isnt that bad, get your head out of your ass, people have different opinions
Patricide i prefer taylor
My brother can play the solo for eruption perfectly but I just started playing so I'm not too great yet
Loved that intro.. *"Have you seen that clickbai.., I mean that article"*
This is a disgrace to Van Halen. Eddy does not deserve to be shunned like this. Absolutely unacceptable.

That ain’t no dab son, I’ll show you a dab, I’ll show you dab in you ass boy.
Taylor Swift's influence on guitarists: Has one signature baby Taylor guitar model. -_-
Eddie Van Halen's influence: killer licks, amazing grasp on pentatonics, unreal improvisation skills, tunes to remember, each show was art and entertaining, the passion he demonstrated through his guitar playing, is probably in the top 5 for any aspiring guitarist of the last few decades.
Malicious Megan not to mention his EVH brand of amps, picks and guitars.
has his own guitar line and a sound that cant be copied
Taylor Swift is just wrong. If I had a daughter and she wanted to see kickass women playing guitar I'd show her Nancy Wilson of Heart or Orianthi th-cam.com/video/G7b-_YcACuQ/w-d-xo.html
You forgot the brown sound.
Umm... Lemme amswer that in 4 seconds, just to save time.
Short answer: No.
Long answer: HELL NO!
I picked up guitar BEACAUSE of Taylor Swift-No.I picked up guitar FOR girls like Taylor Swift-Yes.
Divyam Gautam same bro
Divyam Gautam I picked up a guitar to play sick tunes
I'm a girl but me too :D
so you started playing GUITAR for girls who'd publish TRASH in YOUR name whenever you face a misunderstanding? and knowing that the race of this trash admirers are increasing everyday? play careful in life, bruh :/
Rajdeep Ganguli Dude, learn to take a joke
at least she is a bit better then lil Wayne
Артем Александрович don't even remind me of that LOL
Артем Александрович your wrong lil wayne made a god like solo up in 2 minutes taylor swift just plays chords you learn in like 2 weeks of guitar
Артем Александрович true true
Lil Wayne is a god at improvising.
Артем Александрович what the hell lil Wayne is pretty good
All time great guitarists: EVH, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Taylor Swift, SRV. Fight me?
Steve vai? John Petrucci? Etc?
Eric Johnson?
Eric Johnson?
Clapton, slash, ace frehley, I could go on and on
You forgot Virtuoso like nick jonas and Lil wayne
I respect her as an artist. She's done well for herself and can write a catchy tune.... but fuck no, she cannot play guitar anywhere near as good as Eddie Van Halen. Its a silly comparison.
She can play guitar quite good, bu Van Halen is really another level.😁
Trenton Fengel I doubt she even writes her songs mate
she does! back in her first few albums when her music was still nice at least!! her old songs had that country music feel to it unlike the new ones T.T
Trumps No.1 UK Fan i agree. She has like a team of like 5 writers lol
Trenton Fengel I'm sorry did you say *artist*? More like entertainer.
I will say this. I teach guitar, bass, and piano at Guitar Center, and I've seen more and more girls come in who want to learn guitar who were inspired by Taylor Swift, but I've exposed them to classic rock, blues, and jazz players which has kept them wanting to pursue guitar more. I'm not stating that she is better than Eddie, that's obviously not true, but if she's encouraging more people to play the guitar than that's okay in my book.
Now im sad watching this.. I miss you Eddie. Nobody will ever compare to what you were, and what you accomplished. And we miss you
RIP Eddie Van Halen
Nope, Lil Wayne and Nick Jonas is better.
???
You seriously compair those with Eddie Van Halen???
In 50 years noone will remember any of those 2, but Eddie will still be remembered, just like Jimi Hendrix
Xirque666 did you seriously take him seriously? his name is "Mega Troll 393"
No I really did not take him seriously, but one never know, and sometimes trolls do say things they are serious about :-)
Lil Wayne was an inspiration to all shredders out there, and Nick Jonas.... Well he's basically the pioneer of beautiful structured guitar playing
They fall under the same crap category.
In all seriousness I actually did pick up the guitar when I was 13 because of Taylor Swift. However a different musician made me pick up an electric guitar, and that's John Frusciante after hearing RHCP songs from my dad.
@Dana Gonzalez love this. Great comment!
There's nothing wrong with liking her music. She seems like a nice person and she seems very talented. It's just that guitar doesn't seem to be her forte.
Yeahhhhh John Frusciante!
Idk how to process this.. i think we need to seriously revive rock ballads so little boys dont have to watch pussy guitar to be introduced to the instrument.. its a crisis
@@freeyoutube8298 i mean i agree reviving rock ballads is never abad idea but any source that inspires anyone to pick up a creative outlet, such as instruments or art or writing is fine?, maybe if more people are inspired by their own respective idols to pick up instuments, more bands will be formed to create rock ballads...
I will say a a 17 year old male who loves jazz, funk, rock, and blues that Taylor Swift was absolutely one of the reasons that i picked up a guitar. Not for her superb skills or anything, but more of a realization like "oh if she learn guitar and write these simple hit songs with 4 chords, then i can learn or or write songs with 5 chords, or 6 chords, or a guitar solo, or 7th chords, etc...".
Bold And Brash lol
I'm a simple man,
i see BOld and Brash.
I read.
That is all
Bold And Brash I'm a 15 year old girl and I actually used to a huge Taylor Swift fan when I was about 9, until I found real music, haha. But, in a way, I definitely was inspired by her to start learning guitar.
More like, "belongs in the trash"
all good yes, of course!
I listen to Hendrix and Clapton all the time. They are gods.
Actually, my nieces wanted to learn how to play guitar because of pop artists like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. Even Sheeran's stuff is a little complicated for them at the moment. It's just easily digestible pop music. Simply chords. Not really many lead parts. But, the kids love Taylor. They're young so they may grow out of it eventually. At the moment, I'm just glad someone caught their attention even if it isn't someone with amazing, flashy guitar skills like Van Halen. I mean, think about it. Who would you relate to more if you were a 10-year-old girl? Some guy that shreds all day every day, or a young woman that you can kind of identify with? I'm not a fan of Taylor's music, but she reaches the kids. We older guitar players don't have to understand it.
oppositeofme1 To be fair, Sheeran is a talented singer and songwriter. You should let them learn acoustic with the prompt "if you want to get as good as Ed is you've got to practice a lot, cause that's why he's so good"
To be fair, Ed Sheeran's guitar pieces are a lot more complex than Taylor Swift's, I feel as though she has basically just chords where as Ed has different techniques of playing rather than just strumming..
Taylor's songs are more complex than van halen's, and let's not even get into the lyrics. Eddie would probably respect her as much as he respected mj, probably more.
If she took off her shirt like Eddie I'd be inclined to agree that she might indeed be inspirational.
same
We'd have to convince her to lose the guitar and play harmonica. Edit - RIP Eddie. We lost the greatest.
I implore all to in fact agree with this man.
@@SilentKnight43 Nah, leave the harmonica to Huey Lewis.
Convince her to play some bari sax
Is Taylor Swift REALLY the new Van Halen?
my answer: no, nobody becomes the new van halen.
EDIT: Holy Jesus, thx for da likes
Well she is on the way to become the new Eddie.
Willie van het Kerkhof Iron Maiden already have a character for their covers.
honestly someone with her guitar skills dont get far

@LukeV
Cut it out. You know damn well who Taylor Swift is. And even if you didn't, you could've either googled it or watched this video. I've been seeing this weird little trend a lot lately. Where people pretend they don't know a famous person, but make it painfully obvious that they do.

sammy hagar? more like sammy gone-far.
Taylor Swift does not deserve to be compared with ANY AVERAGE GUITAR PLAYER I KNOW!!!!
Taylor Swift is a product, something made look good.... with songs written to sell for an audience that does not care about the actual soul of Rock N Roll, this comparison is utter nonsense.
Most beginner guitar players are better than her...
Enough of this joke
Ernest Izdebski same except I've played 4! smells like a teen spirit easy but good
Her career was meticulously planned from the time she was a kid. Her dad was a banker and her mom had an advertising agency, her entire family moved to Nashville to focus on her career when she was like 14. She's more a designed product than a human being that became a musician
She writes all her own music and if you look past her catchy singles and listen to her deeper songs then you will see how good of a lyricist she is. She doesn't claim to be a good guitarist so what's the problem?
Most of her songs are about ex-boyfriends.
joegnrslash The problem is she is compared to an absolute legend, while she is absolute trash.
Um, yeah, but does Eddie look hot in a bikini? That's what I wanna know.
Rob Billeaud Taylor Swift does not..
Rob Billeaud Alright I'll take it
Rob Billeaud we are competing their guitar skills here, honey
It was a joke, hello. We all know she's no Eddie Van Halen on guitar. Still, she can play. She can also play banjo, mandolin and piano. Just because her music isn't what I like personally doesn't mean I don't respect the fact that she has some talent.
As a musician and in a locally famous band myself, i know for a fact, that eddie has a skill level that she would never ever reach. i actually have one of his staged played guitars in my studio, but i needed to have the sound that he had, so, i also bought a EVH overdrive petal, and a EVH 5150 III S amp stack and cab to just have those sounds and tones that he loved so much!.
there's only One Eddie Van Halen
she's got nice legs,,,,, and lets leave it at that ,,,,,and never mention her and van halen in the same sentence AGAIN!!!! :-) MOVING ON
Taylor van halen ;)
Who the Hell is Taylor Swift?
The new Van Halen
Netflix & BrainDrill good
You know who Taylor Swift is.
He knows who she is lol
The artist of the decade
Rest In Peace Eddie, you’re playing has inspired nearly all of us.
I've been playing guitar for almost 10 years now and I have found most people would rather just "play" guitar, rather than be inspired and create their own music. I've come across tons of great "players" but you ask them to write a song and they can't, or it's nothing special. One of the biggest joys in my life is creating music in hopes of inspiring others to create music, not just pick up a guitar and play guitar. In this day and age, we have a lack of inspiring musicians and surplus of guitar players.
Totally agree, moms boyfriend hears me working on my 16th note chugging or just a random melody and comes downstairs to teach me how to play sweet home Alabama and says "you need to learn some songs" wanna be like yo I'm trying to make my own songs not learn somebody else's...
Agree 100%. Lots of people pick up a guitar and start learning songs for the sake of looking cool or attracting the ladies. Some people think they're great guitar players but really they just know popular songs. Ask them to improvise or even just to play a harmonic minor scale and they can't. Being a beginner is one thing, but if they don't bother to learn anything else then they're doing it just to seem cool. I've been playing for 6 years and I find myself playing my own stuff most of the time.
This is true. But I feel its just as important to learn already existing songs because you can learn different techniques and br inspired by them.
True, but lucky Taylor swift is exist and she writes her own songs and she known about that and it makes a lot of kids(like me) to write songs and creat music.
There are a lot of singers today who just sing but not write what they sing but Taylor swift is not one of them.
The Borax Kid In my own experience I don't lack inspiring musicians. It's more artists inspiring me to write music rather than on a specific instrument. There are certainly less explicitly talented instrumentalists, but they still can inspire people.
I'd still hit it tho
And by it I mean Eddie Van Halen

not just as a guitar player, as a human being with functional ears

"that kinda just made me angry"

I'll pretend I never read that title
And I'll pretend that I never heard of Taylor Swift
The only difference is that Eddie Van Halen can actually play the guitar.
I dont know why people are so obessed with comparing two different artist ? Damn they both have 180 genre differences
I still think she is quite great guitarist in this era while most current singers don't even bother to pick
@Cai Tague i didn't even said that 💀
Y'all are comparing pop star with rock star
What can be more dumb than this ?😑
Doesn't Taylor Swift have her own line of acoustic guitars in guitar center? She used to be a country musician after all.
Taylor Swift is not even close to Van Halen. But to be honest, it was a pretty biased comparison.
Awesome Studios the first part was a joke , he aaid that later on
anyone who has any real educated perspective on why EVH was important youll understand why taylorswift just isnt the same and no not even just for playing technique and style. people were already picking the guitar up in both cases, evh just changed the way a guitar could be played or modded and seen in general as an instrument. taylor swift is gettin credit just for being a chick who plays XD
yeah, evh is guilty in making super-fast-non-melodic-in-any-way shredding over-popular among guitar players. there were other guys, who played fast, but look - eddie is tapping! and shredding even faster than all others! and so on
The title in this video calls for a new button; THE SPIT BUTTON!!!! :)
I really like these reaction videos on stupid articles. They always make me laugh, you should do more :)
I really enjoyed and tend to agree with Phillip McKnight's thoughts on this, which you've taken out of context for a low hanging fruit joke.
Who else is here after EVH died and is now rlly pissed at who ever wrote this article
This video just popped into my recommended. Rest in Peace my friend.
and Eddie has done all of this, and more for many years and cannot read a note of music... pretty fucking impressive to me.
taylor swift..., aint so swift..., it does'nt take as much talent, skill etc as it used to, to break into the music biz these days... or to become a world wide popular legend....
Most who did it before the late 80s, did it the hard way... the true way... all since then are simply cheap, knock-off punks who's fame has only come from the zombification of the internet
Tumeni Nodes so, you're saying we shouldn't use the internet to get people to listen to our music? That's just fucking stupid
funny how you're judging Taylor when you don't know how hard she's been working to get to where she is now. do some research, will you? every artist (no matter how "fake" their guitar skills are) has been through some hard times. don't be so salty just because the music people like today isn't your favourite. learn to respect artists outside your taste.
Man, that article really affected you, huh?
Came back because this was my introduction to EVH Rest In Peace to the greatest to ever live
1:48
Coronavirus: oh no you dont
😂
Why where you holding a guitar for this video
I mean it looked cool but...
Can't knock a guy for wanting to show off his collection
@@WickedKnightAlbel yes you can do it only to Taylor :D :D
How can taylor swift be the next van halen when lil wayne is the real van halen?
Wtf do you even know your technodubsteptraphouseedm Lil Wayne is the next Nick Jonas
Anus Repair Man Lil Yatchy is the new 2pac
yeah i loved his solo it was great
Inspiration is inspiration! I am sure it wouldn’t make Eddie Van Halen angry! A kid picking up the guitar because of either one of them is amazing!!
Cmon man I learned the Hot for teacher's intro because of Taylor.
Seeing her robotic 'strumming' just makes me want to take her guitars from her. If you want to inspire young people to play guitar, show them Orianthi. She's amazing.
Short answer: no
Long answer: noooooooo
杰 揣卫 this was funny...when I read the original comment.
I picked up guitar because of Kurt Cobain.
Adam Jones of Tool is what got me to switch from percussion to guitar
i picked up heroin because of kurt cobain
Ryan Crane that band would make me switch from guitar to percussion. their drummer is genuis
Kurt Cobain inspired me to pick up a shotgun.
Martien Abrahamse oh yeah, just super hard. and omfg lol heroine and shotguns😂 fun fact he had three times the lethal amount of heroine in his system when he died
Nice! roast more these pop guitarists
Miika K they aren't making hard tho
I strongly doubt the term "guitarist" in your sentence. Someone else with a pretty voice and some practice can do just that.
Miika K yeah "guitarists "
2:44 “who walks of stage while their band is still performing?” Axle rose: *coughs and slowly backs away
samuraiguitarist did a better video on this topic
You can't pick the videos that show her off worst and Diss on her without really knowing anything about her. Of course she isn't the new Van Halen and isn't close to his level but she is an amazing guitarist if you look at more than two of her videos.
imagine playing basic chords and being compared to Van Halen
Real inspiration like Van Halen or Lemmy (for bass of course) is what keeps people playing Taylor swift fans that play guitar probably quit after a month or two
Molten 332 you know its better than Nothing
Better Pick up the guitar and quit After a few months than become One of the assholes that say: " i just dont like real Instruments "
In Todays World we can be Prius of anyone trying to learn an Instrument but thats the difference between eddie and her apart from the obvious difference in skill level
She makes People Pick up the guitar
Eddie inspired People to want learn/Master the guitar
So he is is the Ultimate guitarist in every Way...
RIP Eddie Van Halen!
It sickens me to see her name even uttered in the same sentence as EVH. I couldn't give a left bollock is she inspires people to pick up the guitar - every guitar player does that. Should we start saying Lil Wayne is the next Joe Walsh? Or the next SRV?
Triicell Or Nick Jonas is the next Pat methany(spelled his name wrong probably)
Nick Jonas is the next Dimebag
I don't make comments on Swift's songwriting, but is her guitar playing even remotely inspiring? Eddie on the other hand, changed the way people play and appreciate guitar using only one minute of Eruption.
Xiyu Yang Damn some FACTS
I don’t remember Taylor Swift inspiring me but I know Van Halen did and that’s why my second guitar was one of his signature ones
Why doesn't anyone wanna be like buckethead he's just as bad ass as Eddie van Halen.
He is my inspiration!
My problem with him isn't his playing, but that cringey crap he does: "I wear a KFC Funeral bucket on my head bc I was raised by chickens and KFC is mean to the chickens and kills them"
It sounds like the back story to a superhero that a 6 year old would make up.
what's the name of the outro song?
Anyone?
Rip evh
Next up: Is Nick Jonas the new Hendrix?
