A Tribute to Edward Van Halen

  • I started making this video to show my 11 and 14 year old kids how special EVH was. Been a fan since 1978 and have seen VH 14 occasions with 1984 being the first. Today's music is not what it used to be as it now lacks creativity and innovation. Everything is about Pro tools and no emotion. As I started getting more and more into this project it became more fun to do. I got it to where I am happy with it that I think it does Eddie's Legacy justice. I hope you enjoy it. Long Live King Edward.

      I was at the last Rush concert here in LA, & it was like we all lost something we grew up with.
      Then Neil Peart passes away months before Eddie, & was really upset every time I had a Rush song, same with VH

      I was 50 on the day of his passing and did the same. He was a part of my life for sure. February 17th 1978 was my eighth birthday and my older brother let me take VH 1 to School for music show and tell. The rest is history as they say. R.I.P Sir Edward.
      A special thanks to the maker of this video tribute. You did a great job thank you for putting the effort into this it was very touching and moving as we all miss him.

      @Robert Powell I sure would have liked to see them myself. In 1984 I was 14 and tickets were $35-$100. They might as well of been $1000 cause back then coming up with that kind of money was almost impossible. Living in Flint Michigan we saw some very poor times. Jobs were non-existent. If you got to see them in that Era you were truly fortunate. Seeing them with S Hagar wasn't for me I was one of the fans that felt betrayed. ( By the entire band) That said They headlined Monsters of Rock in 88' and those tickets were $100-$500. If only I came from a rich family! Lol.
      It's awesome that you were able to see Ed play.

    In 1977 I walked into the house to find my Mom laying on the couch crying which scared the shit out of me. I ran to her and asked what was wrong. She said Elvis Presley just died and I was like, oh... ok. When Eddie passed last year, I understood her tears and shed my own.

There will never be another trend setter like EVH. I am honored to be a part of the generation that witnessed his greatness.

Thank you Eddie and to Wolfgang and his family I’m so sorry he will be missed by millions including me.

      Terry Kath had such a great voice. I love Make Me Smile. You've heard of Rick Beato right? His what makes this song great - Chicago episode is a great video to check even if you don't play. It's Make Me Smile and he isolates Terry's voice...wow. It's worth searching out. Another great one he does is for Boston More than a Feeling

    This is without a doubt the definitive Edward Van Halen tribute. Eddie playing eruption and I"m The One at that early concert. The speed, the clarity, just pure perfection. Everything about Edward, the way he looked, nobody looked cooler than Ed. His sound, his guitar, the times he played in. Its all there. Nobody will ever match what Edward did. He is the best of the best. Edward has that something that you can't explain. I've watched so many guys play Van Halen on TH-cam, but no matter how good they do it, you can still tell that it's not Edward. Edward has that unique gift and talent that just can't be put into words.
    Every time I miss Ed, I watch this video and my eyes get watery. I saw Van Halen twice and I almost quit playing guitar after the first time I saw him on the Van Halen 2 album tour. Its one thing to listen to the record, but to see him doing it live and running and sliding all over the stage and never missing a note! I was shocked at how good he was.
    So I keep playing guitar and from time to time, find that spirit that Edward put inside of all of us and try to get even close to what Edward does with a guitar. Thank you so much Ed for all you have given us. And thank you sir, Kinger35, for making this incredible video tribute. Total respect.
    I miss Ed so much, I can't even describe. Waiting for the next Van Halen album, but there will be no more. He gave us so much, and I just hope that somebody out there has the respect to release whatever gems are sitting there at 5150. With all the tape boxes in the racks there, there has to be some great stuff. I'm hoping we get to hear it some day.
    I'm so lucky I got to see Ed live on the early tour, it was so incredible. Hard to play guitar after that, but ya, incredible. That feeling of seeing Ed, it is still inside of me, it was so powerful. I watch Steve Vai, I love Steve, I watch Jeff Beck, I love him too, but Edward had that something special, so powerful. The strength in his hands, his fingers, just exceptional.
    And lastly, I will never forget the day that I heard Ed passed away. Totally unexpected. It hit me, and it hit me hard. I was fucked up for 3 days. I just couldn't believe it. Never saw it coming. And then watching that Mammoth video that wolf did, ya I lost alot of tears watching that. Edward had such a special place in my heart, I had no idea. Was like I lost one of my best friends ever. But I never met him. But he touched me inside, so many many times. The solo on Live without a net. That one really got me. Must have watched that 1000 times or more. Spanish fly, jesus, just incredible, speechless. So good. Ed said years ago it was all about "feeling" and ya, that's true. His playing and composing had feeling all right, and he put that feeling right inside of us in such a powerful way. I just feel so fortunate to have been alive to experience Van Halen and the great Edward Van Halen.

      Three guitarists that totally took the electric guitar into sonic territory never ever heard before-or since!...Jimi Hendrix, Edward Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughn. They took different, unique paths into their respective domains. Electric guitar playing is on the decline now, because these three genius guitarists simply covered all the sonic territory that can even be imagined. And on top of all that, these three put on a show when doing their thing! And doing so, their time on this planet became limited...as if they somehow had to pay some kind of cosmic dues, in order to accomplish what they did.

      Same here. My dad was a great player and exposed me to the guitar and music. But it was Eddy who drove me to the instrument and gave that strong desire to learn it. It is not an easy instrument to learn but when you're inspired, it becomes part of your life. That's what he did.

However, what would a great tribute to his dad it would be, if he introduced the next generation of music fans and kids coming up to play guitar, if he released his Dads music and a new star guitar player hears it and goes on to do great things. I'm sure Mr Edward Van Halen would respect that and I also agree with you also
