He had the greatest smile in rock and roll.
True!
R.I.P. Eddie. We lost a legend. His music is forever. Van Halen were arena gods.
He was one of a kind! His hands are so fast - his fingers so precise. It's not just his skill at the guitar - it's the fact that he could compose something like this. It's otherworldly at times with flashes of classical. Mind blown every time I watch.
What makes Van Halen more amazing is that he never took lessons, studied music or knows how to read music, he picked up a guitar and taught himself!
....wrong
@@bobdriggers6111 Well, he never had a GUITAR lesson. He studied classical piano as a kid, but couldn't read music. He was strictly an ear and feel player.
@@e.l.norton Spot on correct, perfect statement. Plus he could pick up most instruments and play them without a lesson. He played: Sax, drums, base, guitar, multi level organ, piano, keyboard, thought I heard he played clarinet, but not positive. Could not read or write music (on paper), and his bro says he has a vault filled with music he wrote (on tape) enough for well over 1,000 albums (Alex's words). It is truly mind blowing how gifted he was. The most impressive thing to me, and it's what his peers state that stood out about him was his humility and kindness. He was a giving and caring person who paid anonymously for people's doctor bills, mortgages, etc. and did not want them to tell anyone. Not to mention various charities. People have come out after his passing to let others know this now. Sure he had his demons and issues, don't we all? What a man, father, and gifted musician. There will never be anyone like him again.
He read music badly... so he created an all new guitar playing Universe, and he built his own instruments.
The Mozart of our Time.
RIP.
There will never be another Eddie Van Halen. He was the best Rock Guitar Player ever hands down ...
Rest in Peace Rock Star 👑
Interesting fact, those who listen to Eddie Van Halen play temporarily get teleported to a different dimension until his playing finishes, because his musical genius is out of this world.
Eddie is the guitar god of all guitarists.
He’s the master of guitar not a GOD hes human
If we want to know what can be done with 6 strings, just listen to him, it’s perfection and we have his music forever. RIP……
My son mastered Eruption in his mid-teens. He was one of those natural talents that could just listen to a song 2 or 3 times and then play it by ear note for note, although Eruption took him a couple of weeks to completely master. Yes, he was THAT good; when I first got him guitar lessons, the instructor gave him 2 lessons and told me, "I can't help him, he's already better than me and I've toured professionally for years." Eruption is the riff I always asked him to play for me.
WOW! PHENOMENAL GUITARIST AND PERSON. UNBELIEVABLE TALENT! R.I.P. EDDIE VAN HALEN! OUTSTANDING REACTION HAP! THANK YOU!💕💕🎵🎶🎵🎶
The Van Halen family were Dutch immigrants & moved to Pasadena, California! That’s only 45 minutes from me! Brothers Van Halen studied music theory in school but Eddie never learned to read music notes! Eddie started off learning drums & his brother was on guitar but they realized that they played better on the opposite instruments. 😂 Hence the legendary Eddie Van Halen! I might be the minority here but I liked Van Halen better with Sammy Hagar. Favorite songs are WHEN LOVE WALKS IN & RIGHT NOW. 👏🌟👏🌟💫 I’ve always thought Eddie was so cute!! 🥰 Eddie & Dr. Brian May did a project together called STAR FLEET (Not a surprise there). 🤣🤣
Wolfgang Van Halen (Eddie’s son) is a pretty good musician, too!!
Eddie was the guitar player on MJ’s BEAT IT.
I agree about that snippet on the guitar ... Don’t Try So Hard YESSSS
The greatest guitarist of my generation, Period.
This was 'wow' 😮😮😮 🎸 I would never known this gentleman if I didn't follow your musical journey which is unpredictable and enjoyable ❤️ Thank you for keeping it real and your open minded.
Loved your reaction ! Great one!
RIP Eddie. Great reaction. He was the best!
I know that look of amazement on your face. I have seen this vid clips so many times and have the same reaction everytime.............Amazing. Miss you Eddie.
Saw them in concert during their 5150 tour, best dam concert ever, par none. THERE WILL NEVER, EVER BE ANOTHER EDDIE VAN HALEN...RIP MAN
Eddie Van Halen was the best, and he will be sorely missed rip my friend. Trey
RIP Eddie. Hap you don't know what greatness you are missing if you haven't done any Van Halen music. Everybody Wants Some is my favorite. Take a jump into the rabbit hole, you know you want to after watching this. Thanks. AKA Lowrider.
I had to smile so big when I seen the description knowing it was going to blow your mind. lol.......reaction was priceless!
Saw them live twice. They were so much fun. And Eddie with the solo was amazing both times. Great memories.
Eddie was the first at many things and a true legend . I was lucky enough to catch Van Halen twice live in the 80,s and it is So cool to see the younger generations enjoy this mans talents who could make a guitar come out with sounds that should not be illegal in 50 states. You will be missed Sir and RIP . Great Reaction..
There will never be another Eddie.
That bit you say is in a Queen song was done by Eddie in 1979, it's the ending of an acoustic guitar piece called Spanish Fly.
So glad you liked this mate. I was handed this video in 1986 as a 13yr old and it melted my face off and now as a 48yr old it still gives me goosebumps. The GOAT of solo's....miss Ed so much 😔
His son Wolfgang is keeping rock alive Mammoth WVH awesome 😎💖🤟
Your life will never be the same now! Ha!Ha!Ha! Loved your reaction! He was unbelievable wasn't he? The master of the guitar. Thank you for reacting to this!
💯
Pure definition of natural talent. R..I.P. Eddie. Gone but never forgotten.
Van Halen as a band are absolute beasts. Eddie is legendary. You need to check out the whole band. I recommend starting with the official video for Hot for Teacher. The original vocalist, David Lee Roth is in that one. The guy who introduced Eddie is the second vocalist, Sammy Hagar. I do think tho if you are going to delve into Van Halen, you should start at the beginning.
Agree. Van Halen without Roth isn't, to me at least, Van Halen. Although Teacher is a fun video it doesn't really show Eddie's talents well....but it is a popular (ish) song of theirs.
@@nanner3200 it’s one of his best solos and one of the best drum intros ever . So ......
Growing up ,I did not how lucky ,I was able to grow up listening to this.
Eddie & Brian were good friends He called Brian the Professor & Edward. Brian was the only one who called him that. 👑🔥
Whoa the Queen connection is real. !! 💯
Yes, very good friends!
@@HAP3SPEAKZ yep, they worked on the "Star Fleet" album together. Listen to Brian "Star Fleet" cover, go on ask me what "Star Fleet" is😄
It always blows me away when I find ANYONE that is unfamiliar with Eddie Van Halen.
Eddie is the beast!! I can’t believe I never had a chance to watch this, but glad I finally did. Thanks for sharing this Hap!
I learned some back stories from the comments too. 🎵 Awesome!
(SORRY FOR THIS HUGE COMMENT LMAO.) Slash is from Guns n Roses, not Kiss. Eddie had one of the Greatest Guitar tones ever, especially in Van Halen's first album. The tone here was great too but I prefer the very first tone, its too iconic (most people will agree with me I'm 100% sure xD). This isn't just Eruption, its a mix of 316, Eruption, Cathedral, the intro of Mean Street, Spanish Fly, some improvisation and some more stuff. All of these that I named were small solos he did in various albums, here live he just put all of them into one. Through all of this he hadn't failed a single note btw. I think he even was a little wasted xD. Eruption is his most famous solo (probably also the most famous solo on earth) since you could say it broke barriers, the tapping part which is this part 7:32 is from the first album which has the Eruption solo in it, at the time nobody used tapping like this. Eddie did not invent tapping as for example Brian May did tap years before this, for example even in Bohemian Rhapsody Bri was tapping, BUT Eddie is doing a mix of fast tapping and another technique which is called Hammer On and Pull Offs like Ritchie Blackmore used to use a lot, so this is just Eddie playing his own style and no one had ever seen or heard this before in 1978. When the album came out and people heard it they would question if it actually was a guitar because no one ever heard something like that. Eddie wasn't just a Legend in Guitar playing but also in building Guitars, the guitar he is playing here he Built himself it's just one of many guitars he built, he also created sounds and tones that were really legendary. Creating sounds with his guitars like at 10:00 and 10:43 also made him special, at 10:43 he was just playing with one hand if you see it, with the other hand he is just playing with the volume knob and the guitar also has a delay effect, it also starts to sound like a Violin at 11:18 so yea this is pretty special. 17:43 You're right, though this live performance was in 1986 and you know innuendo was released in 1991 (though I don't know when they started writing and recording Don't try so Hard so who knows), the part that sounds like Don't Try So Hard that Eddie plays is off of his 316 solo. Well actually he did it live here first and then also in 1991 the solo 316 was released within their album. So both on studio came out the same year though Eddie played it live 5 years before. I think its just coincidence but yes it sounds almost the exact same. 18:44 Eddie is in the band called Van Halen :) 😂😂😂 The Drummer is Eddie's older brother Alex Van Halen, Eddie and Alex formed the band so the name makes sense. Eddie was always playing with a Smile, its just so fun to look at, with him smiling you really know he loves what he does. He was also a very nice guy. Eddie actually wanted to play the Drums, he bought a small drum kit and his brother Alex a guitar but when Eddie was outside and came home he saw Alex on his drums so Eddie just took the guitar, so just because of some random reason they switched their instruments and THAT happened 😂 what a great story. I also have to mention another thing about The Van Halen album (the first album was self titled) it's probably one of the best produced albums ever, I really gotta say after I heard that Album I was questioning why Queen was a little behind in 1978, so the first Van Halen album LITERALLY every instrument sounded perfectly Clear, now the best thing to me about their whole first album, The Bass is on the right side of the headphones, the Drums are almost in the middle but a little bit more on the right side, the Vocals are on both sides and the Guitar on the Left with an echo that moves to the right every time he plays, You can literally tell apart every instrument like Orange juice to water. Also the Drums didn't sound like the 70's anymore, there is this typical 70's drum sound that every drums had in the 70's but Van Halen's drum sound was already in the future and also as I mentioned before the Guitar tone on that album is one of the best and most iconic tones ever. The last thing I have to say is, there is no Guitar player play style or playing that has influenced the Metal genre more than Eddie. Great Reaction, didn't expect this.
Cool. The sound of the future aye ? I'll have to consider this avenue. Thanks!
He did not build the guitar in this video. Kramer made it along with many others for him.
While this particular guitar is a Kramer, it's modeled after Eddie's own creation, the FrankenStrat / Frankenstein. Eddie took tapping to the next level by learning to play with the pick in his middle finger, freeing up his index finger for tapping during normal play. He was always innovating & thinking outside the box. For example, he plays the intro to Pouncake by running a power drill next to the pickups & manipulating the magnetic fields ( th-cam.com/video/o1GJxVmYv-E/w-d-xo.html ). He also invented the D'tuna device which allows players to switch the low E string back & forth between D & E on the fly. His playing was anything but conventional & he was profoundly influential to guitarists world 'round. Eddie Van Halen was to the guitar what Michael Jordan was to basketball.
@@bayberuthtoo thanks for this even more informational comment
Actually the part at 17:43 Eddie first did that on the song Spanish Fly released on the Van Halen II album in 1979.
I’m literally lost for words 🚀🔥😱🤯
Phenomenal! The look on Haps face....priceless. great reaction to a legend.
My first Van Halen show was 1978 when they opened for Black Sabbath. Since then no one could touch them. Eddie is legendary. I can't believe no one has ever heard of him or heard him play. RIP Eddie. No one will ever play or sound like him again.
It bloooooooooows my mind that someone can not know who Eddie is. I mean, he's Eddie Van Halen! 😄😄😄 But, I'm happy that you found him. 👍
Eddie Van Halen is one with the guitar. 🎶🎶🎸🎶🎶
The King. RIP.
One of the all-time greats, he even has his own line of Guitars and Amps labeled EVH. RIP Eddie we miss you, and your gift to us of music will be cherished
I only knew “Jump” before and I loooove loooove loved it but when I heard and saw him doing more serious things like this I was astonished! R.I.P. Edward Lodewijk! It would be great if you could react to “Jump”- you would surely like it.
I really love guitar sound (ok, that's an understatement 😊) and appreciate it more as a part of a song. Usually I find guitar solos that last long a bit boring..But not this one! Oh, yes, this is really good and fascinating! He was born to play this instrument!
One last, Heart Tribute to Led Zeppelin live at the Kennedy Center....her voice is still like an angel☮️
EVH is quoted as saying "I wonder what happens if I do this?" when asked how did you come up with ................... GOAT - RIP EVH
Hard to believe he started on the drums!
Stevie Ray Vaughn, Texas Flood, El Mocombo also epic... different style. RIP EVH❤️
Yes throwing picks. I was at his 77 concert. Up front and center...had picks lined up on his guitar strap. I was the cool blond chick on the shoulders of a football player that muscled his way through.
Frankenstein is the Guitar he’s playing
He made his own guitars by picking apart other ones. He created that “Legendary Riff”
I didn’t realize how lucky I was in 1984
Me & My Crew made it to the front at the “Cow Palace” - 1984 World Tour
Left that concert dripping in sweat
Best freaking time ever!!!
Alex Van Halen ain’t no slouch either
He is in the “Top 25 Best Drummers” of All Time also
Both Brothers Gifted Yes 🎶✌️
RIP Eddie. Welcome in my teens
What a super LEGEND!!! 💪
you may be right about the don't try so hard reference. Edward did do a project with Brian May, and was a fan of Queen. The album was called Starfleet Project I think.
Edward Van Halen -- The King of Ten Fingers and Six Strings
I love seeing people discover Van Halen for the first time. He was such a tremendous talent. This video is from the Live Without a Net from New Haven, Conn. I used to watch this religiously when it came out. Great stuff. But, if you really want to hear Eruption proper, check out their debut album. Sooo good. It's the lead-in to their cover of the Kink's "You Really Got Me". Goose bumps. Also, The guitar player that wrote and recorded the rhythm guitar parts was Steve Lukather from Toto(They have the hit song Africa). Eddie recorded the lead guitar part. Slash from Guns n Roses has worked with Michael Jackson, but it was on his Dangerous and Privacy albums. He also has made guest stage appearances with Michael Jackson.
He played the solo on Mickael Jackson's Beat It song as well, did it for free.
The volume swells with left handed hammer-on/off around 11:00 gets me every time. Close your eyes, he’s playing a cello. Then 2 minutes later he thinks it’s a piano and plays it as such.
Best rock guitarist ever. He’s not a virtuoso, he pioneered the invention of the term.
You should watch the interview he gave where he explained how his guitar came about. He couldn't get his earlier guitars to do what he wanted them to do without burning them out. So he set to work building one that would do what he wanted and would last.
That's what a bow down lol
His band is called Van Halen. He is an icon of guitarists. Eddie Van Halen and Colen James
Guess you're going to have to go down a new rabbit hole HAP. Brian May & Eddie did an album called Star Fleet back in the 1990s.
Just as good
You will possibly be interested in Jimmy Hendrix 'Hey Joe', Jimmy Page 'Dazed and Confused' or 'No Quarter', and as I mentioned in a previous comment, Stevie Ray Vaughn Texas Flood live at El Mocombo. Pink Floyd is awesome, as well...😉😎❤️
Love me some Van Halen! This is one of the greatest guitar solos ever. You need to check out Geoff Castellucci's 16 tons video.
Was lucky to see them live (David lee Roth round 1) I remember DLR had the butt of his pants cut out and covered in clear plastic. The things you remember? (Van Halen started with David Lee Roth as a singer....he left and the guy you see in this video, Sammy Hagar, took over for a while. Now David is back)
I had Van Halen's first album, which this comes from, on 8 track, lol. The original album version of this insane solo had us all just looking at each other wondering what the F we had just listened to, it was and still is amazing. BTW, he gives a little nod to 'Spanish Fly' in this version, which was his solo from Van Halen II.
Don't try so hard came out in 1991. This solo of Eruption was from 1986.
And the part the sounds like 'Don't Try So Hard' was from the Song 'Spanish Fly' on the Van Halen II album which was released in 1979.
That little bit was from album Van Halen 2. Spanish Fly
It's an old "time's up" chime
Can you say GOAT
The reason Eddie was grinning like a fool through this whole solo, is that he was drunk as a skunk. In fact, the guy rarely ever set foot on a stage unless he was loaded. Though this particular solo is widely known, he's said in interviews that he doesn't even remember doing this show.
His brother Alex is non drums. Eddie played with Brian Maynon the Starfleet album.
That bit is from "Spanish Fly" check it out....
Eddie was a composer. It's a disservice to classify him as just a guitar player...he should be compared in the same grp as Bach, Mozart, amd Beethoven. Even this solo is an amazing composition of so many different styles and techniques he created but woven masterfully into a full scale composition. Its otherworldly. No guitar player ever could seamlessly weave this many innovative techniques into a tasteful melodic but highly skilled solo
Van Halen is the name of the band.
That little bit your speaking of is a snippet from a song called spanish fly from Van Halens 2nd album
R.I.P KING EDWARD
Make sure to check out Eddie's son Wolfgang's music
His band is called Mammoth WVH
It's him and Jimi - top 2 guitarists EVER. The only two game changers in rock history
I saw Van Halen on three separate tours.
I may be bias because I grew up with these guys in socal. Saw them play before they ever got a record contract or open for anyone. I was sold. Great respect for Jimmy and Stevie but you just watched the greatest Rock and Roll guitar player that's ever lived. Period! RIP Eddie, they'll never be another.
18:27 if you like Brian May you should check out the Star Fleet Project mini-album he did with Edward back in the 1980s
Hap has reacted to it. U can find it in his Brian May playlist on the channel. 👍🏼
Eddie played a small solo on Micheal Jackson's "Beat it" with no album credit. One day he was shopping in a music store and Beat it came over the store music system and overheard a couple of kids saying, "oh that guy playing is a Eddie Van Halen Wannabe" and Eddie spoke up from behind them and said, no, that was me. I'll bet they lost their minds! I never saw Eddie but I did see Sammy Hagar and if you ever go, it's like a Party and a Concert breaks out! :-)
Eddie Van Halen Started Van Halen in 1978 all guitars still bits and pieces from others Eddie Van Halen is the greatest guitarist of all time go back to 1978 watch all the videos and listen to the music you can from Van Halen and you will understand
Brian and Eddie recorded some songs together.
The best enough said
Eddie used to hang out with Brian May of Queen sometimes and tinker with the guitar
You need to try Gary Richraft flying turkey trot live REO Speed wagon guitar solo best ever early 70s did tapping before Van Halen mind blowing
At 10:43 hes not even using a pick! Just hammer on's, fluctuating the volume knob with some delay effects. Solo is called Cathedral from Diver Down album.
EVH wrote most of that solo when he was in his 20's. He never learned how to read musical notes. Taught himself how to play. RIP EVH.
I'll see the light tonight.......1985.....Rising Force......lead guitar ......Yngwie Malmsteen.......awesome !!!!
I always liked Sammy's intro as well. As for your Queen comment, I went back and listened, and I can see what you're getting at. But, What Eddie was just playing came out 10 years before Don't Try So Hard. So if anything, Brian May was taking from Eddie. That said, Brian May is an amazing guitarist on his own, without doubt. But there is a difference between tapping a few nice harmonics on a song, and being the guy that induced Millions of people around the world to imitate you for the next 40 years.
There are several solos from VH songs... I choose not to point them out so you can discover them 🤘 go forth and enjoy!
You just listened to King Edward the greatest guitar player ever check out some more of his music I'm sure you'll like it
You wear the rigth T-Shirt. He comes from space
Eddie actually didn’t do Beat It for free. Funny enough, he did it for a case of beer
On the "don't try so hard" bit you are speculating about it could be a tip of the hat to Brian May as he and Eddie were very close friends, who knows?
He said thank you……
No dude. That’s nothing from queen. That’s just him tapping the harmonics of the guitar.
you've never heard of the band van halen.... tons of huge hits.... never heard "JUMP"... or "PANAMA"... or girl you really got me(cover of the kinks)...??? wow... how bout PRETTY WOMAN...
Eddie was great. He will be missed. If you are like me and you like guitar may I suggest some Steve Vai. Building the church live.. The one with like 1.4 million views.. Bad Horsie..vevo That will get your heart pumping. For the love of God with orchestra.. Whispering a prayer.. and Tender Surrender. He gets his guitar pregnant in that one. To name a few. That is if you like guitar.. 🎸🎸🎸🤠😎
Shorter version 2012
BTW: The piece he started with is 714. He would lay his Acoustic on his pregnancy wife, Valerie's belly and play that tune to the baby.
It’s called “316”
Wolfgangs birthday. Was on the FUCK album.
