The solo that sold a million guitars.
last 8 years iv been trying to learn it. almost there..couple more years..
And they're still selling more I totally agree with you
Sold a million pussies
100-million.
and 5150 amps
I remember as a child having a difficult time trying to PRETEND to play this with a broom
Good one. Lol.
Your not alone.
Rip Eddie 🤘
same
Same
Dude
Mom always asked why the broom straws..I blamed it on Eddie
This isn't just Eruption. This is a combo of : "316" , "Spanish Fly" , "Cathedral" and "Eruption" , along with some improvisation from "Mean Street" , and a dash of "Intruder." ⚡🎸
Now 12 year olds are doing this in school talent shows. The influence Eddie has is/was/still timeless
@@bwassinger21 You can’t hold back greatness. 20 years from now, kids will be still be learning this.
Its always Eruption but the studio version is the only time its "only" Eruption. When its played live its Eruption but he plays the others also. Thats how I see it.
Besides, It's way easier to call everything Eruption. Takes way less time out of my day. I have more time for activities.
And Cactus let me swim.
I always thought each solo meshed into one was his way of making it into a movement like that of a classical musician
Sammy Hagar introduced Ed by calling him “the greatest rock and roll guitar player in the world”. Now the world knows him as “the greatest rock and roll guitar player who ever lived”. RIP Ed.

Cheers for the support!
@Benjamin Stulken I wouldn’t doubt DLR introduced him as that either... most people do =VH=
Yea thats definitely not David Lee roth. Thats Sammy hagar. Big improvement over David Lee Roth.
But yea totally agree the greatest guitar player to ever live without a doubt. Could spend an entire lifetime learning what he created in the early 70s. Its just crazy
Its so sad hes gone. What a loss
Don’t be sad he’s gone. Be glad you were here when he was.
Yep and he played for 40 wonderful
Years !
I find a great wisdom in this
Thanks for your comment. You have cheered me up
Yes, every time I opened my hall locker, his pictures smiled back at me while he played this😏.
Hear, hear!
Eddie: hold my cigarette.
Guitar: I am.
No ands, if, this, thats, and buts about it man
Guitar: I Know
LOL
LMAO!
Guitar: "Again?"
If you're a guitarist, you know and I know that this is quite possibly the greatest solo ever jammed on a guitar ever.
Absolutely
And inspired thousands of people to pick up a guitar 🎸 🔥🎶🎶🎶🎶
Freebird. Allen Collins..enuff said.
Comfortably numb clears
Hands down. Eddie was a jaw dropping guitarist, look at how he can use his fingers effortlessly like it was nothing, do u know just how difficult it is to learn how to play that solo?? Dude had both mad technical skills AND could shred the fukk out of a guitar too. That's very unusual, usually the vest if the best were either the best shredders or had mad technicality, Eddie you're the best ive ever known dude
Having spent all of his life with Eddie, the expression on Alex's face at the end of the solo was pure awe.
Absolutely, and the really funny thing is originally Eddie was going to play the drums and Alex was going to play guitar.
RIP Eddie Van Halen.
My childhood is dying one person at a time. 😢😢
😢😢
sounds about right Sam.
Yup...😔🙏
I know you are so right
I feel your pain.
his tone was so clean yet so dirty at the same time. What a guitar hero. Rest easy, EVH
More like guitar god
The greatest of all time!!! R. I. P Eddie
This is the last of his vintage Marshall tone, the REAL brown sound, period!
Right on John Marshall THE Brown sound
Dirty o yeah but beautiful 🤘
can we take a second to appreciate the sound engineer? amazing work... and ofc RIP Eddie
I feel like I have known him as a brother and a friend.
I'm not even a big van Halen fan but when Eddie plays that first part it brings tears to my eyes everytime!
I learned that song from watching him in this video, later learned the song name is 316
@@jaybutton3004 same thing happened to me! i remember watching this when i was starting to learn guitar and i was awestruck by that first piece he played. i remember thinking i’ll never be able to learn it and then one day i found out it was made into a song “316”. one of my favorite things to play now🤘🏼
@@jaybutton3004if you didn’t know as well, it was made as a lullaby for his son Wolfgang when he was born.
I believe 316 is what he played Wolf to help him sleep.
Who’s here after hearing the tragic passing of one of the greatest guitarists of all time😔😔RIP Eddie you will be missed❤️
RIP
So sad! 😢 He was Phenomenal !! 🤩🎶
I had the biggest crush on him ! 🥰

I didnt know him personally and yet feel so sad like part of my childhood died. So sad
massive blow, what a loss
The best part about a Van Halen concert is that you could always catch Eddie with a smile on his face. Rock on Eddie 🤘🤘🤘
This man is the reason why I picked up a guitar. He’s an inspiration to millions, may he rest in peace
I couldn't put it no better the way you're saying it about Eddie Van Halen I love what you said man it's the same but we had it for 65 years I think that's pretty cool love you Eddie rest in peace bro, 😭♥️🙏
Eddie’s be loss was felt by me as if I knew him...he will always be the best guitarist &
Performer & adorable!!! R.I.P.Eddie
Say hi to my Dad for me Eddie.He introduced me to you when I was just a baby. I am and he was alway awestruck every time that he would listen to you play. Im sorry for what you went through. My Dad passed from throat cancer also. He will be so happy to finally meet you. Tell him I love and miss him so much. His name is Wayne Jenkins. He was 65.😢
@Sergi Ruiz Thank you for those words. He was a amazing Dad. If he wasn't at work he made sure I was right there by his side, in every way.
Nathan Jenkins I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved dad. My step dad passed away from throat cancer also. I miss him so much! CANCER SUCKS !!!!!!!!!! I ALSO LOST MY BEST FRIEND TO THIS HORRIBLE DISEASE 2 YEARS AGO .
Woah man. your story somehow struck me deep inside. I'm holding my tears. My best aunt also passed away due to cancer. She kept it to herself until it was too late. Today, October 22nd is her birthday. God bless
God bless all of you he will take his arm and put his arm around you.
Godspeed my friend. Let the legends live on in our hearts until we meet again.
I am surprised his hands never caught on fire from how incredibly good he was at guitar like HELL YEAH! I love this dude
Or the headstock
According to legend the direct opposite side of the earth had a level 7 earthquake for about 13 minutes the exact same time this was recorded😮 😏 😂
When I was a baby my father played this to stop me crying. Thank you Mr. Van Halen for all the memories
I bet you got a guitar from listening to this
That solo is legendary. RIP Eddie you were a god. Thanks for all the fuckin sweet music 🤟
Gone too soon.
Regular Totoro too soon for real
TRAP MUSIC NOW I swear we’re about to loose ozzy too #fuck2020
Solitude In E Minor bro don’t even fuckin play like that.
@@sidneylacroix204 Nothin can kill Ozzy. He and Keith Richards are going to live forever. LOL!
I have to say Eddie was the one that got me started, he got me hooked, I've been smoking cigarettes for 20 years now.
Lol good one!
Had us in the second half
LOL...I can't stand you!!!
thats fuckin hilarious
@Seraph909
LMAO, Smoke up Johnnie !!
Three years since the world lost the GOAT rock guitarist. R.I.P. Eddie, sadly missed but never ever forgotten
Watched this whole concert on this day for the last 3 years
In the words of Wolfie...."I'm Still crying"....
EVH has always been called the Mozart of the electric guitar for his pristine, glistening technique and melodic invention. The comparison is fitting, but the more apt analogy may be to Beethoven. Eddie revolutionized the instrumental potential of the guitar as an means of human expression, introducing his own musical language, creating harmonic complexities unheard of before he came along. His appearance on the scene wasn’t a progression in the art, but an explosion that upended what we thought were the limits of the instrument. He rearranged the molecules of rock music in a way that everything after him is, in many ways, *because* of him. He’s one of those once-in-a-century talents that literally becomes a touchstone by which we measure the evolution of human creativity in art. Eddie, you lived your purpose and did good, and we thank you. How sad to live in a world without Eddie Van Halen in it.
You know, I have made the Mozart comparison as well, but you make a good point about Beethoven. In addition to rock and metal, I love classical music. I can never decide who is the best, Mozart, Beethoven, or Chopin. But I love them all, and I love Eddie Van Halen. And it's funny, they all died young. Mozart at age 35, Chopin at 39, Beethoven at 57 I think, and Eddie Van Halen at 65. Though 57 is not considered that young for Beethoven's time, but certainly in our time.
@@lisawillis1287 The beauty of art is never having to choose one *over* another because these geniuses gifted us their unique voices and vision through the medium of music. Each’s art speaks to specific yearnings, aspirations, anxieties, and hopes. Each taps into something almost indescribable within each of us, much that we can find commonality with and some that perhaps only we, as individuals, find meaning in that others may not. Ultimately, language fails in adequately quantifying the deep impact the best art has on us, but we know it’s real. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, EVH, they’re all sui generis shooting stars. They pass by and dazzle us, then they’re gone. What they leave, however, is something that speaks to the best in us. The true Olympians alter the paradigm of our daily experiences by creating new views into a higher realm of understanding and spiritual fulfillment.
@@MaestroFiddler I agree, very well said!
With all due respect Mozart would most likely outshred Eddie and use a violin to do it. Chopin said (paraphrased) “Mozart mastered the symphony. All I have is the piano”. Eddie’s a genius. Mozart is otherworldly.
@@orbitaljellyfish808 I think I disagree with you. No question about Mozart's genius, and I am not prepared to say Eddie is as good as Mozart, but he's closer than you think. Rock music is a more simplistic form than classical, so the parallels are perhaps harder to see, but Eddie's composition skills are extremely high. As a virtuoso rock guitarist, Steven Vai is probably comparable, but he's not the composer Eddie is.
As for the Chopin quote, he also said that when he died he wanted Mozart played at his funeral, and not his own music. (Also a paraphrase). But Chopin I think was being modest. Chopin has composed some of the most beautiful pieces ever written, he is absolutely at or near the level of Mozart and Beethoven. And @Edward Oh, I know, again I'm leaving out Bach. I agree, Bach is an amazing genius, but I think Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin are all better. And I would not put Eddie completely at their level, but I'm not sure. A I said, I find it hard to make the comparison. It's like saying who is better, Kobe Bryant or Walter Payton? You can only compare to a certain extent, because they are playing different sports.
A good friend of mine loves classical music but does not think much of Metallica. He says, "they are the master of three chords". And I tried to explain to him, the roots of rock and metal are found in blues music, and in some cases jazz. In blues music, the riff is the most important element. So you must judge a person's composition skills based on what they are trying to do, and what new aspects they bring to it.
And one more point about Mozart, ( I know, I'm talking too much, sorry lol), perhaps because I'm a pianist I have something of a bias, but Mozart's best works in my opinion are his piano sonatas and fantasias. I'm not knocking his symphonies and operas, and his requiem is just breathtaking! Though I usually only listen to the first two movements, the two he completed before dying. The rest were completed by his some of his students, if I remember correctly.
And it is perhaps is the sonatas of Mozart and Beethoven where the parallels with Eddie Van Halen can be easier to see. Sonatas are trying to "do" something different than a symphony. You must always remember that when judging compositions. John Williams has not been mentioned is this discussion, who is also an absolute genius. But when composing music soundtracks, he is trying to "do" something different. Intent is the key when trying judge compositions.
seriously as a player for over 40 years,its the fact that he heard this in his head before putting it on the fingerboard that really trips me and a lot of other people out,its beautiful
me mm mm immersed
40 years, or 400, or never, there is this threshold that something just happens, it's like a light switch that gets turned on. That is where he is operating from, myself included. I see with this statement, that has not happened for you, and honestly, it never will unless you change your rigid understanding of playing. He has a loose understanding upon the final composition, but a mastery of the key signatures and his instrument, it's an extension of him, both physically and mentally, and what he's doing is exploring them, but keeping it grounded into some what within the original context.
Its a pretty good feeling I'll tell you that
Brian Millar tf are you saying? anyways, eddie is eddie, he’s one of a kind
@@Johnny-mo9df lmao I was way too baked trying to get through that, glad it wasn't just me
The term mind blowing was invented for this solo

Breaks my heart to hear the world’s one and only Eddie Van Halen is gone.
RIP to the greatest.

Thank you Eddie... 😔🤟
Here’s Jeffy Didnt knew u liked Van Halen
@@Yanited1710 ikr
Ye right but he has good taste in music
Lol
@@air9192 yes he does
The solo you are looking for starts at 0:00
Now that children is what you call “face melting” guitar 🎸
His physical body may be dead, but legends never die.
Eddie was a soul. His soul lives on. Ours will too ! We’ll see Eddie again!!!! We only use the body to travel in. RIP Eddie, what a beautiful talented kind soul.
nah, he's dead.
@@the_snail_god yep
@@the_snail_god sad truth
Agreed
It’s not just that Eddie VH was an elite guitarist, it’s that he had a unique style and sound that transcends genres. When you hear it, you know it’s EVH. RIP Ed
Yes sir!
The moment I heard the guitar riffs from MJ's "beat it", I knew its van halen, and I was right after all because very distinctive.
Yep! End of story. Two notes in...and you just know it's Edward Van Halen! 💗🎶
Yes or he was great but Jimi Hendrix was better lol
@@lemueldugger659 And this opinion is open for debate, between the two...Who is #1, #2, etc. I think it comes down to who's style you prefer, not skill level. So sad Hendrix didn't live longer to be able to fulfill & complete the wonderful legacy he had already began to create for himself. Wouldn't it have been wonderful to have been able to see them play together.
Its that he made his own style. Thats whats so incredible. He created that tapping play style that people are still trying to master but still most just don't have the sound the evh had. And he did it in the 70s. Truly the master of all guitar masters. Lost but never forgotten EVH 🤟
I love the faces he made while playing guitar; it’s like the guitar was his voice, how he spoke. 🥹✨❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥✨
I have watched this so many times...it always brings me to tears. There will never be another like him, and I am so grateful that i grew up on this music. I remember the day at break in high school when I heard eruption for the first time coming from my buddy's 67 mustang in the parking lot of our high school in Chilliwack, BC Canada. There was 7 of us gathered around as the Craig powerplay speakers blasted out "Eruption" for the very first time.
just heard the news of his passing, i immediatly came here.. RIP
same here 😕
same here
Couldn't get to it quick enough just a God when I was growing up RIP
Same here. Bought the first album on the day it came out in UK purely on the strength of the cover and I was not disappointed. Legend of a man. I'm gutted.
Same😔🙏
If not for Eddie's profuse sweating all over the guitar, it would have burst into flames
that thing is cooked and well done. hope you like it with no pink because that bitch is toast.
Coke and speed do that to you!
Trust me, I'm a guitar player
@@knocknevis7390 yup gotta be in the right mood at the right time and you can play anything you want
Lol
Sweat is flammable though?
The musicianship, the charisma, the sheer joy, we won't see the like again.
I love how he starts off by sitting down like he's gonna tell you a little story. RIP EVH
The introduction, these guys as a group must have been a blast to be around.
I come here after hearing the news that Eddie van Halen has sadly passed away with cancer, a truly sad day for the world as we have a lost a true legend this day
Keep on rocking in the afterlife Eddie, we'll miss you
R.I.P
Play this in a guitar center
R.I.P. EDDIE, LOVE YOU ❤️
lol, Right next to Bata shoes.
Good luck Tom
You don't want to be famous
You got some nerve...!!!
@@waynemacomson6448 no seriously, you don't want to be famous
I’ve watched and listened to this performance hundreds of times! One part stands out to me for some reason it is at 9:25 Flawless victory!!!
YES!! Charming and funny and flawless indeed.
Edward wins
Flawless Victory!
Like Mozart and Hendrix before him, Eddie isn't 'dead'. Impossible. He lives on through the amazing music and inspiration. Everytime someone watches this and is blown away, he is alive. Every time I pick up a guitar, he is in the room with me. Eddie isn't dead. And he never will be.
The pure drunken joy on his face while playing guitar is like nothing else, RIP to the legend
RIP Eddie. This is a sad day for music.
Ik 😔
I’m sick man. RIP
😔
Yes it is, we lost a legend a true legend
I love the finish where Eddie picks so fast it almost becomes 1. Like breaking down a single line into seperate dots. Thank you Eddie, RIP
Some people call that tremolo picking. George Lynch sometimes refers to it as "fan" picking, like your hand is a fan blade hitting the string... It was an essential and cool part of Eddie's technique. Thanks for watching. Please check out all the great content on www.MusiciansChannel.com !
Such a legend. You will deeply missed. “Heroes get remembered, but legends never die”
He always looked so joyous when he was playing. I’ll miss you forever Ed.
He said in an interview it's because to him it was all FUN, he loved what he was doing. He found his bliss in life and was able to live it - rock on Eddie, you are missed forever and always.
Rest in Peace to the greatest guitar player to ever pick up the instrument
This is the greatest guitarist of all time at the peak of his powers. I envy the people who got to see this live.
He'll always be here, just press play. 🥲
I was one of the fortunate ones. Had chills then....still do
OMG, I still miss you Ed, you were and still are my inspiration to play and practice, first concert I saw live, in 1978. I would go on to serve and retire in the military, during which I traveled around the world,and in the process,went on to see you live 6 more times, lastly in Sasebo Japan. Insane concert. I was in the sixth row on the floor. You stood straight above me. Dude, you are and will always be the "King" of rock guitar! RIP, Ed, the heavens are rockin Tonite! EVH 4EVER!!! 🎸🎶🎵🎼👑
I can not believe 3 years have passed on this day we lost a legend of legends...You put the Rock back into Roll where it belongs forever!!
RIP Eddie. You will be missed but never ever forgotten!
I wanted to see him play live so badly. Rip to a legend
Same I never got the chance
Me 2 Bro!😩
So badly. Born 20-30 years too late
Me too
Devin Dooley I wanted to see them live too. Now that Eddie's gone, that means no more Eruption!
One if not the greatest rock guitarists of all time It was great seeing Eddie smiling the way he did that night What an awesome solo
Van Halen never had real long fancy guitar solos in their songs so it's easy to forget just how fucking good Eddie was ( may he rest in peace ) this video reminds you just how talented he was
RIP to the legend. You didn’t live your childhood unless you mastered this via air guitar in your room.
Amen to that
R.I.P. Eddie, I was kinda freaking out so I had to come here to calm my nerves and enjoy this for a moment.
Me too
Me too😔
Man I was so lucky to have gotten the chance to see VH play. I remember in 2015 when I was 14 I got the chance to see them in Austin TX and it was the best & first concert I’ve ever willingly attended with my father. Everyone stared me down cause I wore a VH shirt and no one my age was of course there let alone know who they were. To this day at 22 I still remember when EVH began playing eruption I shed a tear and had the shivers run down my spine. RIP & long live EVH🎵
Had to listen to this after hearing of his passing. Thanks for being probably the biggest influence for an entire generation of guitar players to come. This solo is over 30 years old and his tone is timeless and his technical ability is still incredible by today standards. RIP to one of the best ever
Millions of guitar players are seriously hurt right now. Thank you for the years of influence you brought for all of us. Shred in the clouds brother. You will be missed but never forgotten.
I don't know why there are any thumbs down? So many haters and this is pure guitar magic...

Only a person who is not into understanding the time involved to play a guitar is a downer moron...
still one of the best solos i’ve ever heard in my life
This takes me back to 1978 when I was sitting at home trying to figure out how Eddie was playing eruption. My fingers couldn't reach all the notes and I was totally lost. Then one night I thought, "is he using his right hand to play the high notes???????" Achievement Unlocked! I was now on my way.
When VH was playing the clubs in Hollywood, Eddie used turn his back to the audience so all the players there couldn't quite figure out his early days techniques!
Pro gamer moves
Ahhh good old Eddie or eddy?
right lol, i remember when i was first learning and eruption was everybody's go to for learning to improv solo. good times.
@@stonecrazzombies2309 so true that it's actually a little "Wayne's World" here in L.A., they frown on sections of Eruption at the music stores! lol
Damn, this guy looks like he's really enjoying himself.
Man, this hurts RIP to more than a legend Eddie you were/are a master!!!!!!
One of the most iconic pieces in rock history hands down.
RIP Rockin in paradise. Eddie Van Halen NOTHING can be said about your raw talent. You made memories for us all, I remember the first time at the US festival you literally blew my mind. The guitar 🎸 solos you performed will forever be etched in Rock N roll stone . Your talent will live on in your son Wolf . My condolences to all of your family and prayers , thanks for the amazing memories that will never be forgotten.
I have loved Eddie’s Sound, ever since I first heard it back in the late 70s💗Because of Eddie Van Halen’s Guitar Gifts, Van Halen became my First Favorite Band💗His Guitar Solos are both inspiring and soothing to my Soul💗🌹💗
Absolutely correct!
Took the first Halen album to show and tell in 5th grade when it came out... Made it through maybe 30 seconds of 'Runnin' with the Devil' before it got turned off... LOL
God rest his soul! He meant so much to so many people.
Can't touch this so tough and real his guitar is in my hearts for ever ♥️ Eddie you are best friends ❤️
It saddens me to say that he have lost Eddie Van Halen. My deepest condolences go to his family, may he Rest In Peace.
I haven’t heard this version since I was a kid, and like a lot of people here I’ve been on an EVH kick for the past few days. When he starts off playing that little riff in A...the memories of hearing that riff over and over as a kid came flooding back, and with them came the tears. Turned to happy tears though, as it reminded me of why I fell in love with music and the guitar.
Do you know if that riff has a song name?
@@choab 316 if i remember?
R.I.P. Eddie you will live on in our hearts and through your music, forever💔

One year has gone by but No one has forgotten the guitar legend
i was at this show about 20 feet in front of where hes sitting. amazing time to be alive i was 20 years old.
that is so awesome man, cheers friend
No you weren't
Wow!!! Was the whole arena shook like I am?
My sixteen year old self was there as well.....sitting way in the back of the old New Haven Colluseum. Killer show!
Where was this filmed?
This should be America's National Anthem for the next month.
Yes it should, I play guitar, I'll never recover from this loss
@@lukasfletcher3332 agreed...its been a really rough week. He felt like family to me, I dont know life without him. Total bummer. He lives on through the music, we gotta remember that. The GOAT
I got to see one of his concerts but I never got to meet him. Rip. I wish I could of met him
💯💯🤟🤟
Agreed!!!
May 8th 2023 still keeping his memory alive, who's with me? Come on people show your love for Eddie Van Halen.❤
I’ve been obsessing over this video lately, I can’t get enough of Eddie 🎸🎸🎸
4:55 2th harmonic made me cry out in tears, his trademark sound style in a nutshell and the fact he is gone hit me.
ME TOO
It looks like magic. Like the sounds he’s making aren’t what I’m seeing. He was a once in a millennium genius.
Lost but NEVER forgotten. Rest in paradise brother. Thanks for all gems like this one. 🤟
Ppl prob know this but I thought I'd put it out there. Valerie told a story about early on in their marriage she saw Eddie in his sleep doing hand & finger movements as he was playing the guitar. That's how connected he was to his music. Pretty cool
1986, this was Eddie's prime. Us guitar players still dream about getting that good at anything, let alone the guitar. RIP 🙏
I'm not the biggest VH fan, but it always amazes me how good these elite players are even when they're drunk/stoned out of their mind
it really is interesting , I agree.
This is play by heart and by heart only. When your high or drunk , you free your heart and your mind and your butt has no choice to follow. Unfortunately this too will suffer if addiction is allowed to go to long.
welcome2havoc if they weren’t stoned out of their mind they wouldn’t be able to do so well lol.
Its incredible how people think that ability is always a consecuence of drugs or/and alcohol ingestion. There's something called TALENT and its not contingent to alcohol or drugs. Actually, those become obstacles for natual ability and locomotion.
@@Afraidinct Or its just muscle memory from playing the same song over 10,000 times
Thank you Eddie for the decades of rock, its hard to believe that you are gone but you will never be forgotten R.I.P brother.
I got to see Van Halen with Sammy And it was the best concert I have ever seen 😊😊 R.I.P Eddie 😢😢
interviewer: so how drunk are you
Van Halen: yes
Lol
Dont drink but might concider starting lol. Me being just me on the wild side
You don't want to be famous
I do not know what the bottle is empty
smoking sucks you should try to quit as soon as possible
All these decades later, and I still get goosebumps!
Man....RIP, thank you for teaching me the joy of playing outside the lines
The man was a MACHINE ❤

And Eddie jumps into Heaven. Thank you, Eddie for the joy you gave us. You caused a lot of fun to happen.
