@What Are You On About Eddie Van Halen's Rock N Roll Last Performance At the 2015 Billboard Music Awards Before His Death in 2020 5 Years Later in 2020.
My condolences to his son, wife, brother, and the rest of his family. Let's not forget Valerie. It seems like she and Eddie were just married yesterday and they were the cutest couple. Time flies. Rest in peace, Eddie.
At least she got to know them when they were active. They had their final concert in Oct 2015. Billie Eilish on the other hand apparently didn't know who they were. How could someone not know them? Taylor Swift knew who they were. She is so skinny and hot looking. Her hair and bangs is nice. The thing is that Wolfgang was closer to her age than the other three older VH members, he was born in 1991 and Taylor was born in Dec 1989. Now Wolf has his own band Mammoth WVH. Sammy Hagar and Mike Anthony are doing a VH tribute tour this July and August.
This song sounded great until David Lee Roth started singing and he didn't sing the lyrics correctly. I get that his voice is NOT as it used to be but that shouldn't change the phrasing of the lyrics. Also, Alex Van Halen must have forgotten the way the drums are played when the song towned down for Eddie's 2nd semi-solo before Roth's spoken words! 😒 Thank goodness we'll always have the original recorded song forever! 😁
I get emotional watching Eddie go face to face with Wolfgang while they're doing harmonies. What a joy it must have been to be in the band with his son, and damn if Wolf isn't killing on that bass. I would have been proud as hell. Much as I love Michael Anthony, I'm really glad I got to see this version of Van Halen.
We all know Roth doesn't sound the best anymore, but look at his smile at 3:29. He looks so happy to be on stage, rocking with Van Halen again; imagine all the good memories he gets up there?
1978 Van Halen’s first national tour. Memorial Auditorium, Wichita Falls, TX. My sweet brother Allen (RIP) got us 6 row middle isle seats. It was life changing. Eddie took guitar to another level. Thank you Van Halen.
Van Halen is all I'd listen to growing up in the 80's and now . Glad I sawr them at the Hollywood bowl in 2015. Little did I know it would be the last time . Rest up Eddie .
You & me both brother. I'm 50 & it hit me like a train when I heard he died. The soundtrack of my youth fell silent. Thank the gods we still have the music.
@@thatrandomkirbOThe idea is that these guys are on the older side and still blew modern music out of the water. Just goes to show how far the industry has fallen
@@orange_turtle3412 i know that but i still find it amusing that he called the greatest r n r player ever some random “old guy” like it’s a random performance from friends who grew up in high school or some random life story
@@thatrandomkirbO Where was the word "random" used? He simply said "Those old guys..." meaning, those grizzled old vets (except Wolf) still rocked better than any of the newer acts. It wasn't that hard to understand, but you seem to want to be mad about it for some reason.
Everyone in the audience is dumbfounded trying to figure out what that noise is coming out of the amps and microphones... Oh yeah it's music being played live...back when you had to be able to write and play your music...VH..keeping it real
Oh...ok stimb... I am referring to back when rock music was rock music... When musicians actually wrote their own songs... When musicians actually went into the studio and recorded their own songs... When vocalist went in and sang their own tracks.. When bands went out on the road and played all their music... But you must be talking about the music industry today that is laughable at best...auto tune wasnt around back in the day.... 90%of that audience musicians use backing tracks and hired writers to write their songs,and hired musicians to go into the studio and out on the road with them...music today isn't even in the same arena as all the icons of years past...so, before you call anyone ignorant you might want to put down your Britney Spears CD.....
Ok... usually don't carry on conversations with reply comments,but being a musician for over 30 years...having toured extensively and recorded extensively I have nothing but respect for any musician that writes and plays their music, even pop music.... I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin , Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Rush Etc and I find it very hard to compare any music today to the music from any of those band's..music back then was real,do I like pop...no.. if a musician can come out on stage with nobody else around and do their thing that's great , unfortunately 80% of everybody out there today does the exact opposite and has to load the stage with everything they can possibly get on there to distract the people from the lack of talent they have..the music has been lost to the business side of it...just saying.....
@@p40tomahawk41 you're full of shit to claim that humans lost the ability to play or sing after Ed got a record contract. Thats generic asinine fanboy shit talk
@stimb wheres the tapping? wheres the mascara? wheres the song about drinking beer at home? or the one about drinking beer at the party? how about another track talking about how funny it was to drink beer at the hotel bar and ransack it?
I was one of the lucky multitude who bought this album when it hit the stores in 1984 and was BLOWN AWAY!!!!! It still gives me that kick 40 years later!!! Damn!!!
@@jenniferfloydaranilla4015 Your right but am one of the lucky few able to LOVE THIS age 14 Playing guitar because of amazing guitarist back in the 80s Rock lives on!
HENJAM48 We can only hope?, but unfortunately the pathetic record companies and commercial radio stations will ensure we are force fed a never ending diet of manufactured pop music, and rap crap 💩.
It has taken me a sold week to learn just the intro! See me in a year or so and maybe I'll have half the song down. He's really great, and the original VH is the one.
@@vzeller nah. DLR would just go back to doing nothing but enjoying his millions while living in Japan. You can't cancel greatness. Greatness cancels you.
David Lee Roth was 60 years of age when this vid was made. He's abused his body with drinking, smoking, and drug use, yet can still jump around like a man half that age, he's is thin as a rail and still looks great. I'm in my mid 50's now, have taken no drugs, don't drink, don't smoke, am overweight, and even my aches and pains have aches and pains. Life is definitely not fair (lol).
Long live real music...The master Mr 7 Pricey....AC/DC, Def Leopard, Priest, Motorhead, Maiden, Kiss, Metallica, and Body Count!!!!! The list goes on...Ozzy is my hero...Van Halen forever.
what a coincidence....last saturday I watched Back to the future with my 10 years old daughter and she asked about the casette with a label "VAN HALEN"..........and I answered that he is one of the best rock guitar players ever......RIP EDDIE electric storm in heaven................
I wasn't that much into Van Halen, and then I heard that Eddie Van Halen had passed away and suddenly I started to listen to their music. I loved how Eddie always looked like a puppy with a huge smile. After having their songs on repeat, when I began to see articles online about his death, it really hit me 100x worse that such a legend was taken from us too early. And that band I didn't care much about became so important but still sad because now I was too late to truly experience Eddie Van Halen. R.I.P. you guitar legend.
It's better late than never. Frankly, I think it's beautiful that people are discovering just how full of joy and verve his music is and that he's still touching people's lives from beyond the grave. We may never get to see him light up an arena with a grin and a guitar riff again, but his legacy will will live on.
No, your right on time! 😀 Begun here, and don't look back I grew up listening to them and other Rock as well, and trust me, it was a blow in the Music world if rock, but music in general, Eddie was very versatile when working with other Artists, he was known by so many. We will never have another Eddie in any lifetime. Prayers to the Van Halen family.
Am quite similar with your thoughts. Grew up in 80s and never paid too much attention to VH though liked some of their songs from time to time. For some reason Eddie's passing hit me hard - perhaps knowing he was part of your upbringing even remotely in a positive way. I recall watching a late night video show featuring Jump and can still recall his smile during his solo and my friend saying, "Eddie's always smiling'. Now wanting to learn more about him and VH.
It's never too late to discover music no matter what teases your pallet.I remember buying their debut record on a whim just because of the cover....WOW!!!!! was I blown away. I couldn't wait to play it for my friends and they couldn't believe their ears either. It's just a sin that great musicians don't become legends before they leave us.On June 6th 2021 his son Wolfgang is releasing his first album entitled Mammoth WVH. I encourage you to check TH-cam for some of his early titles from his solo album. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Hendrix, Clapton and maybe a few of others are on the list of greatest, but EVH is clearly the one guitar player over the last 50 years you'd have to think Hendrix would say "wow, that guy is on the list".
@@a.barnard3205Hendrix recorded are you experienced in 1967.....It is 2019. “Woodstock 50,” a three-day festival honoring the original 1969 event. Um.....
Eddy is the best, he's not only good at the guitar he's also a genius musician. The sounds and music he makes from the guitar is really good and unmatched.
I was in all honesty I'm from Northern Florida and when the song Jump, Panama and various others we're coming out I was washing dishes on Panama City Beach, I was at this restaurant that was under this Tower needle looking thing on Front Beach Road in Panama City Beach Florida with a radio playing. Oh my God I just saw this for the first time on TH-cam and I literally had tears come out of my eyes. All of us that grew up during that era it'll never be the same. God bless you Eddie and the rest of the crew
There must be so many people here that grew up with VH as the sound of their youth, then life grinds on and you forget until you are reminded because a huge part of it is gone. RIP Eddie, thank you.
All the Pop musicians had probably never even seen a real rock band play live! Van Halen showed them how it's done....and how the MIGHTY VAN HALEN opens a song!!!!
Eddie is the best guitarist off all time none of the others come close to being able to do what he can with a guitar R.I.P. THANK YOU Still listening to you everyday
Eddie always looked so happy playing guitar he has the smile of a kid in a candy shop thank god for the Internet he may be gone from our world but he'll live forever on here
Love Van Halen. You know what I was thinking? That a lot of the people in that room were probably conceived after a Van Halen concert or while a VH song was playing.
This just proves that what makes Van Halen special, is Eddie and that guitar. Dave is ok up front, despite the fact he looks like Ralph Furley from Three's Company now. But Eddie was just amazing as usual, and sounds as good at 1984.
Dave never could sing but he always put on a show. He's a one man wrecking crew when it comes to one liner zingers! I bet that dude smiles when hes sleeping. Cocaine is a hell'a've drug lol
Honestly, DLR sounds good here. Not great, but good for live. Which proves that he could do better than he normally does. However, this was 3+ years ago. Who knows what the voice is like now.
Saw him Feb 2020 opening for KISS. Solo act of course. He's rough man, really rough. He still jumps around stage but beyond that.... not much. But, we all must age and we have.
tboneman, thank you for downloading this video. I am truly thankful to live in the age of film, great audio and great rock music. RIP Eddie. You will be sorely missed. But fortunately, we, plus many after us for hundreds of years, will be able to listen and watch pure excellence and greatness from this band.
Oh my God that tone! Every guitar player I’ve ever known has chased it at one time or another...just killer man! R.I.P. EVH #legend #innovator #guitarhero 🎸
Whether it was the long, shaggy hair or the tightened up trim, one thing (besides his godlike guitar-ing) NEVER changed about Eddie - his freakin’ SMILE!! This was the first time I saw this clip - and they all sounded too killer for mere words! I admit I almost lost it all over again upon seeing Wolfie and his dad freakin’ playing and singing together!!! Geez...life can be so unfair.
R.I.P EDDIE
Light Up The Sky.
Light 'em up.
tboneman rip eddie man sad loss glad I found this comment posted 27 seconds ago you holding up well man
Rip Eddie
Light up the sky!!!! One of my favorite VH tunes!!!!!
The greatest guitarist. It's not goodbye, because the authors of such gratest songs never die. Non omnis moriar Eddie!
A fan indeed... rip eddie
Eddie showed the crowd how to play a guitar. Long live the king!!!!
That crowd did not deserve that performance. RIP Eddie!
no doubt, bunch of woke wanna be musicians
I could not agree with you more. I wish your comment could be etched into their minds until they grew souls!
Right?! I have to say the whole band still plays and performs just as good
the crowd should have been in bed.. it was pass their bed time.
I'm 100 percent agree with you. They only care for someone to stay that night bed.
More talent on the stage with those 4 guys than in the entire room!
Facts
Did you see the shot of JLo barely moving? What a fraud...her whole career is a sham...BRING BACK ROCK! Bring back REAL music!!!
That statement is a fact look at Eddie's son XD
I've never agreed with anything more than what you just said
Yeahhhhhhhh
Now that would have been a good superbowl halftime show.
I could do it
VH was asked to do a Superbowl halftime more than once. What a show that could have been.
The constant smile on his face when he plays is so beautiful. Same as it was over 30 years ago. The man truly loved what he did.
He wasn't in the band not because he wanted to be famous but because he loved playing. That's a good reason as any in my opinion. 😊
That is why he was so damn good. He LOVED playing his music,he loved playing with his son. You could see he loved him and was so damned proud of him.
Eddie was just always happy doing what he was best at and what he loved, rocking on stage
Brings me joy and I’m not a van halen fan
@@scotfree7702 Well you are now
Goodbye, Eddie. The world is a little quieter today, and that ain’t a good thing.

This is Billboard Awards, full of effortless songs except VH and others
Agreed. The opening to that song illustrates Eddie’s talent; his “knack” for making that guitar make the whole song. .. Amazing
Even J-Lo was feeling it. VH!!!
Since the first time i heard it
The greatest moment of Taylor Swift career: Introducing Van Halen to the stage.
At least she got to know them when they were active. They had their final concert in Oct 2015. Billie Eilish on the other hand apparently didn't know who they were. How could someone not know them? Taylor Swift knew who they were. She is so skinny and hot looking. Her hair and bangs is nice.

At 1:20, Britney Spears is looking on with amazement at what a guitar, bass, drums and what a live performance looks like in person :O
Wondering wth is that
?
Actual music, no meltdowns,
she's been in business since the '90's, I'll take a hunch and say she's seen a boatload of live performances in her day.
She grew up in the 80s, so i think she’s seen a lot of van halen
She also claimed to run a sub 6 second 100m. 🤷🏻♂️ She’s lost in her own little world.
2:26 Father and son jammin face to face... They look so happy together 💔
And brother/uncle
What a loss. That’s my childhood slipping by... love this song. RIP EDDIE
Wolfgang’s bass tone is soooooo good. Noice! 👌🏻
Eddie VanHalen playing lead and rhythm guitars at the same time Thanks for all the great music! RIP
They came they saw they destroyed the room. RIP Edward You will be loved eternally.
'EDWARD'-?????????? ????????????
3:37 They're literally scared. "So THOSE are REAL musicians?!?! EEEK!!!"
Bunch of wannabes just needing to be seen
Jajajajajajajajajajajajaj
Well, 3 real musicians anyway...
OMG scary men
@@aaronkerr2481 no matter how much how little he knows DLR still was a big part of the songs
What rock n roll was all about to me as a kid, rest well Ed will miss you.💔 1955-2020.
Eddie is the best guitarist off all time none of the others come close to being able to do what he can with a guitar R.I.P. THANK YOU Still listening to you everyday
Eddie always looked so happy playing guitar he has the smile of a kid in a candy shop thank god for the Internet he may be gone from our world but he'll live forever on here
R.I.P. VAN HALEN 1955-2020 YOU WILL BE MISSED
With just one song, three older guys completely schooled millennial pop stardom.
They still got it! WOOH~!
Eddie・・どうぞ安らかに。。
永遠のギターヒーロー！今日は大音量でヴァンヘイレン聴くぜ！！
きたあ、日本語コメント！
凄いよね、元ドラマーだったのに
Kids today have no idea how raw and exciting their concerts were in the early 80's. They were incredible.
That guitar sound signature..
Love Van Halen. You know what I was thinking? That a lot of the people in that room were probably conceived after a Van Halen concert or while a VH song was playing.
A few of the people in that room may have even been conceived by DLR.
Every time i hear this opening riff i get goosebumps...at least she got it right ... THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN!
This just proves that what makes Van Halen special, is Eddie and that guitar.
Dave is ok up front, despite the fact he looks like Ralph Furley from Three's Company now.
But Eddie was just amazing as usual, and sounds as good at 1984.
Mr. Furley, I think you hit the nail on the head!
@@markbooket6477 well spoken
Thank you guys, Eddie especially, for the incredible rock and talent. Being alive to see these guys was worth every breath.
Wolfie is tearing it up on that bass. Dad is proud!
aaaaaawww
so cool seeing Eddie so happy and jamming with his son. hope he is getting along with dave these days.
I was here yesterday enjoying van Halen music.. and today his gone 😭😭 Absolutely devastated 😭😭😭💔💔 RIP EVH 😭😭😭😭
Dave never could sing but he always put on a show. He's a one man wrecking crew when it comes to one liner zingers! I bet that dude smiles when hes sleeping. Cocaine is a hell'a've drug lol
god Iam 60 years old and cannot even make through the first cord as soon as I hear that guitar I am balling my eyes out.
keith howell - I'm with you, brother!
Eddie launched a million ships!!
Also I love how Ed and wolf are the only ones singing and Dave just kinda speaks/shouts
That was the best thing I've seen on the Grammys in 30 years.
Honestly, DLR sounds good here. Not great, but good for live. Which proves that he could do better than he normally does. However, this was 3+ years ago. Who knows what the voice is like now.
The funny part is that even at like 60 years old, he still sounds better than some of the people in today's music scene.
Dave seemed winded or something.. Like he was sick or something
No he does not - he is getting the old person vibrato .....
@C H He has had a lot of Hollywood paint that punching bag over the last 3 PLUS years.
Saw him Feb 2020 opening for KISS. Solo act of course. He's rough man, really rough. He still jumps around stage but beyond that.... not much. But, we all must age and we have.
Eddie may not be with us, but I know he's playing up there ☝ 🙏
tboneman, thank you for downloading this video. I am truly thankful to live in the age of film, great audio and great rock music. RIP Eddie. You will be sorely missed. But fortunately, we, plus many after us for hundreds of years, will be able to listen and watch pure excellence and greatness from this band.
What a great performance! Eddie as always was at the top of his game!
Eddie showed everyone in that room how to actually play the guitar- bunch auto tuned pop "stars"
3 x Van Halen on one stage :D Mindblowing! :)
So many people in the audience not even understanding the importance of this band and how godlike they actually are
RIP EDDIE
Agreed! And sadly that's what passes as musical talent these days. Thank God we can still listen to VH whenever we want.
エディ・ヴァン・ヘイレン
永遠に………
そのサウンドは忘れない
Back when Musicians needed talent to be famous.
Thank You EVH, for turning the guitar into a sonic weapon !
2015 The last time we'd see
Motorhead
Rush
Van Halen live...
The world has lost another Great Rocker ! He will be missed. R.I.P.
Wow! It must have been one heck of a time for Wolfgang to be able to play with Dad, Uncle Alex and old man David Lee Roth.
wolfgang rocked that bassline and vocals too....band super tight . Father and son and uncle just amazing.
Oh my God that tone! Every guitar player I’ve ever known has chased it at one time or another...just killer man! R.I.P. EVH #legend #innovator #guitarhero 🎸
That’s was great Dave did well and hammed it up without messing it up. Ed was perfect
Legends never die,...they just graduate to the next level.
R.I.P Eddie Van Halen (1955-2020)
Thank you For sharing this wonderful video, Miss u so so much Eddie!
How great to be on stage with your brother and son, with Mr. Dave. Outstanding
I guess you guys aren’t ready for this..... but your parents are going to love it
Dude yes! McFly...
so glad i grew up listening to this
Ed killing it. All cleaned up and slaying it.
Whether it was the long, shaggy hair or the tightened up trim, one thing (besides his godlike guitar-ing) NEVER changed about Eddie - his freakin’ SMILE!!
This was the first time I saw this clip - and they all sounded too killer for mere words! I admit I almost lost it all over again upon seeing Wolfie and his dad freakin’ playing and singing together!!!
Geez...life can be so unfair.
I’m watching this and I can’t help the tears coming down my eyes. Will miss u Eddy for the rest of my life. RIP.
