One genius complimenting another!!!
So very true … 🎸👨🏼⚕️🫶✌️♾️
Brian and Tony respectively used a homemade guitar and compensated for cut off fingertips. That needed creativity for sure.
Brian may was very far from genius!! Should not just throw that word around
@dondamon4669 If you don't accept he's a genius guitarist / songwriter, then how about the fact he has a doctorate in Astrophysics!!! Does that qualify him for that title?
Brian isn't a genius he's just a satanic freemason and a limited guitar player especially compared to van halen.
Talent recognizes talent
I love how Brian is basically admitting that Eddie was better than he was
@@fredwerza3478 You wanted to say more skilled.
@@AlbertoJorgeSoares yeah basically --- Brian came up with a lot of melodic stuff but couldn't match the technical wizardry of Edward
@@fredwerza3478 Had more technical skills, speed - sure. But I wouldn't say that because of that Yngwie is "better" than (for example) Mark Knopfler. Dire Straits made so many unbelievable music, without the "technical wizardry".
It's just different.
@@michacieslak2346 Knopfler was "OK" but King Edward was a total pioneer and innovator of rock --- his influence spans many generations
The pause after he said “ VH were opening for Black Sabbath “ said it all 😂🎸😂
My first concert was Sabbath with Van Halen opening. It was a magical mind blowing night.
It was a small general admission venue and my buddy and I got very close to the stage. Saw VH headlining tours thereafter and Eddie always killed it.
@@jimgodofbiscuits In 79' they hit the Arizona Fair at Phoenix Memorial Coliseum and George Thorogood & Destroyers opened, VH and Alice Cooper for $3 !!! Also general admission !!! We wandered all over it was amazing!!!
@@jimgodofbiscuitsfuck am I jealous
I love how badass this man is but yet has no problem at all shining the spotlight on other players and showing them respect. Not for nothing but my father taught me that it shows class and intelligence if a man who is great can also humble himself enough to give and show respect when respect is due and deserved.
HE'S A DOCTOR AND A KNIGHT AND A ROCKSTAR 😂
Jimi and Eddie changed the guitar sound forever
Sir Brian May --brilliant guitarist --so humble to others --the master complimenting others !
Sir Brian May, guitarist-astrophysicist 🇬🇧🎸
and champion of inoculation for badgers, rather than gassing.
Brian may is my favorite guitar player from all the rock players, but, Eddie Van Halen was from another planet admittedly. May he RIP.
Talented and also has a PhD. in Astrophysics. What a gentleman. ❤
Now that’s a gentleman.
I love a humble genius beautiful😊
Love Brian May ❤
I love hearing these stories.
Both Iconic..
Brian May is such a sweet gentleman.
Brian May is a legend....very humble
He’s got a bit of ego. It’s totally deserved, and he’s not an a-hole about it, but I wouldn’t exactly say humility is one of his defining traits.
Love the telescope on the background.. so cool that one of my guitar hero’s is also into one of my fave sciences .. Astronomy, physics and astrophysics
Saw Van Halen open for Sabbath in Seattle Center Coliseum in 1978 what a great show that was. Went out and got VH'S first album the next day . That album played through the night at our hi school keggers.
I lived in Pasadena California where we were at kegger parties with Van Halen as the band. I saw him also in 78 that year at the Pasadena Civic as they were about to leave on tour. My last time was the US Festival in 83 and Eddie was as amazing as every.
British etiquette 👍
Eddie for me took it to another level. Genuine Genius
Sir Brian May-A Class Act. End of Story
Eddie's groove riffs are beyond mind blowing. His style packs a very distinct and genuine energy.
What genero8 compliments ❤
Brian May and Tony Iommi are great friends. Can you imagine just sitting in a room having a beer while those two just jam for fun, bounce ideas off of each other, tell crazy rock star stories and laugh it up! Now that would be epic!
I saw Van Halen open for Sabbath in Memphis, VH blew them completely away. Everyone was enthralled with Eddie and rightly so.
Come on Sir, YOU are the best! ❤❤
Eddie was better
EVH was rocking and cool and flash, but when I listen to Brian May I feel as I do listening to a master violinist playing a classic piece: tasteful, musical, infinitely precise, and perfectly joyful.
Listen to Cathedral Vh.. guy comes from pure classical influence and on piano no less musics like art there's no better but I Def see.your point and love May as well
Cool and flash? He changed the game. May is great but patronizing EVH makes you feel better about it? It's chess vs checkers if you're keeping score.
I find VHs music soulless.
@@nicholasprotz4297Other than questioning your intelligence and musical ear, I don't know how to open your ears at this point. lol
You're really missing out though. Especially if your only reference to EVH is what you have heard on the radio. That stuff just paid the bills.
Listen to every album from their debut record in 1977, VH1 to the last album before Gary Cherone made 1 record with them.
Gary is great with Nuno, and a really nice and generous guy to meet, but somehow, his voice didn't work in VH. 🎸
@@1XDroidX1 Heard it all, not my thing, overrated.
From what I understand, Brian May and his dad designed and built his guitar.
I think his dad might have been an actual rocket scientist or something like it.
Brian May has a degree in Astrophysics. I can't recall what his dad did for a living but the two of them literally designed, crafted, and wired the guitar. The full story is online somewhere.
@@zeroatomfault His father was an engineer.
Brian worked on the Messenger project with NASA which photographed Pluto for the first time a few years ago. He is an actual rocket scientist (astrophysicist).
All of Eddie's guitars are going to heaven because he played the hell out of them.
❤Eddie Van Halen 😊
More than the best rock guitarist ever...EVH had a heart of gold.
No. I love EVH, but do more research.
EVH said a lot of mean things about people --- he said he taught Randy everything he knows --- and called former band members like Mikey, Dave, and Sammy all kinds of names
Sir Brian May is not only an accomplished guitarist, who has outlived his plectrum (ha ha), he is humble to a fault. May God bless his spirit as he continues on his journey for those of us fortunate enough to know of his skills. I would adore hearing him play with his choice of guitarists - Eric Johnson, for one, springs to mind - on an album of INSTRUMENTALS… Hopefully comprised primarily of ballad - type songs, e.g. “we are the champions”…Power Ballads with anthemic overtones/progressions. Come on, mates, you have it in you…😊. 🫶✌️♾️. 🎸👨🏼⚕️
I remember that tour. I saw them in Seattle. An amazing show! Both bands. Van Halen was at a local station for an interview and q&a with callers. I was a HUGE fan and played their first album a lot!
Anyway, I was able to get thru and ask a question; I asked Eddie "How do you get that sound on Eruption?" His answer: "Come to the show and find out." As I had a ticket, I said "You know it. I already have my ticket."
DJ: Thanks for the question. Next caller...
It wasn't really a conversation, but as a 16yr old, I had talked to Eddie, and that was good enough for me!
RIP Eddie
I've been playing guitar for 35+ years and one of my favorite things about being a musician is how humble most players are, no matter how good they are.
I myself have developed a lot of skill over a lifetime, and people are very impressed by my playing, but I always feel humbled when I watch someone else play. Sometimes I feel like "there's no way I can play that", right up until the moment you try and succeed to play it and think "oh wow, I did it!".
Learning an instrument is truly a deep and intense experience, and if you do it the right way, it changes your character and your life. 🙏🏼💙🤘🏼
Any guitarist will love to see the video of Brian May talking about Nuno Bettencourt and analyzing one of his solos. Nuno grew up idolizing Brian May, so I expect when he saw the video he was over the moon at seeing his hero single him out with respect.
But Brian is such a down-to-earth and decent guy, giving credit where it's due. As another commenter mentioned with regard to Brian's story about Eddie... one genius complimenting another.
Eddie with a jazz bass, cool!
One hell of a compliment coming from May.
Wow, and I have the same reaction watching Brain May play the Red Special.
The Fact that he compared him to Jimi. Both, of those Fellers changed the Game and nobody has since!
And then he did the Star Fleet Project EP with Edward Van Halen, which was a great record we enjoyed very much back in the day.
He's met a lot of artists and played with them - he's very awesome.
Classy respect
Can Brian May be a more polite or nice human being? HE has changed music history and still is super humble, intelligent and soft spoken. What a great man
So cool!
Well something to see was the Queen concert I saw in Detroit about 1974 introducing Night at the Opera before the album came out the best concert ever and Brian May shook my hand afterword ot back Masonic Auditorium in 1 degree weather
33 degree weather.
High praise
That’s when I first heard about Van Halen. They opened for Black Sabbath in Wuerzburg, FRG. 1978.
They put on a fantastic performance.
Love that first pic! Eddie holding Phil Chen’s bass! Must have been during the Starfleet sessions!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Brian May…… complimenting Eddie Van Halen. That is THE biggest compliment you can have!! Seriously…. Brain May??? Dude is a genius.
For those who've never heard of it, look up May's "Star Fleet Project", a three song EP, the title track an Anime theme from a show his kids watched. May and Van Halen played together with a few other friends. It's not polished, but it's wonderful.
June 19th, 1979 after VH hi
I saw that tour in May in WDC
I remember when VanHalen;s first album came out and my friend had just bought it ( it was brand new ) . We played the first side and we stood there mouths open and both of us said " WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT " ! It turned the bands of that day upside down ! I can just imagine the panic those bands had ... " What do we do NOW " ! PK
Eddie 2 hands tapping guitar hell yeah❤
Magical ....a great player is a kind of magician
Edward was, and will always be the GOAT!
No
Hands down Hendrix.
@@Itsme-ni9jk Thank you
Nopes
Innovator? Yes. Greatest? Not even close.
Fast Eddie, RIP.
One smart cookie that Brian May, he achieved a PhD in Astrophysics. Eddie Van Halen RIP
EVH FOREVER!!!
Seeing Jimi Hendrix and Van Halen is already something
On top Tony Iommi is a friend of yours and you play in a band called Queen 😅
A concert where Van Halen opens for Black Sabbath, that must’ve been amazing to watch live.
I was fortunate enough to see Van Halen. I think it was five different times in Louisville the first time. around 1978 or nine they were opening up for journey in Montrose. I was about 15 years old and I had never seen anything like that in my life and I’ve been to several concerts before that, and I got to see him several more times in the last time was when Sammy Hagar first joined the band.
But they changed music and they changed concerts and then I found that first concert ticket $5.50 is what I paid to see them open up for journey
Bluesbreaker.. B-side to a 12" 'Starfleet' single it's Eddie and Brian jamming over a 12 bar blues progression in E and it's AWESOME! you MUST hear it friends.. :-)))
The whole 'Starfleet' EP is amazing. All three songs.
I saw that tour.
Somewhere in West Germany.
Not Munich. Maybe Goppingen?
Long time ago.
We had not heard of Van Halen before. Had no idea what to expect.
It was amazing. Never heard anyone like Eddie. Left our jaws hanging open.
Dave was wild too. Band was firing on all cylinders.
We thought Van Halen might have just blown Black Sabbath away. How could anything top that?
We were pleasantly surprised.
Tony, Ozzy, Geezer and Bill were hands down the better of the 2 bands that night. Everything we could have hoped for from a Black Sabbath concert. Top 5 show in 50 years of seeing live music.
Everything about the Sabbath set was just a bit more professional, a bit more experience and musicianship showed. I imagine VH gained that experience over the next few years but I never saw them again.
I would love to take a lesson from Dr. Sir Brian May ( and Tony Iommi).
When Brian May is impressed by you you made it.
Saw vh open for sabbath at the manchester apollo in 78,
Class act. Brian May. No mistake whos playing. Completely unique
Birds of a feather flock together
I'm sure Eddie would compliment Brian in the same way. He was also a pretty humble guy who downplayed his own brilliance.
Look up Brian mays starfleet project to hear the jam togeather.
In the early days Van Halen used to cover Queen songs like Now I'm here
Some say it was talent, only a few know he had the pick of destiny
Eddie Van Halen is/was the most innovative guitarist since Jimi Hendrix.
I remember taking guitar lessons at the time Eddie came out with eruption. I always wondered what happened to that guitar.
People say that about you too Brian,
Saw Van Halen open for sabbath in Philly on that tour and Eddie was otherworldly but at the same time Roth even though a great front man , was annoying with his circus ring master style. Sabbath was louder and great as usual also, my ears still ring from that show.
If Dr. Brian May - who believe it or not, has a real Ph.D. in Astrophysics and is a living prodigy, cannot figure out some of the things Eddie did on the guitar, I don't feel so bad not being able to play some of Van Halen's songs either.
An iconic guitarist talking about another iconic guitarist, mentioning his friend who's also an iconic guitarist...
🤣🤣🤣
There's a bunch of truly astounding and talented young guitarplayers out there, and I do so hope that, in the years to come, they'll be able to post similar stories on whatever platform is available by then....
Brian May is ver good at being "humble"......o like that
It Takes Talent to
Recognize Talent
It’s About Time Those
Tea Bags Recognized
Eddie Van Halen
Sure They Have Eric Clapton or
Jeff Beck
Yet Eddie Van Halen is
What We In The United States
Call a Monster
And yet Brian was so much more musical.
Totally disagree
And… roll the shred hate
Don't know about that, but he's definitely a better astronomer/astrophysicist. 😊
@@dinojay8410 this guy is only saying that cause he can’t play Eddie’s parts and is jealous of his technical ability
@@sharkmanyt4431and Respect
I heard Eddie did irruption that night, and Ozzie said it was the biggest mistake Black Sabbath ever made
Van Halen, Black Sabbath, and Queen!?... The fuck kinda concert is that?... I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE ATTENDED!!!
The older Brian gets, the more he looks like Sir Isaac Newton! And probably just as intelligent.
I don't know Brian, you do a pretty good job..
Gotta love hearing a legend talking about meeting another legend via a third legend.
EVH is the King
Watch Eddie's dad. It all comes together.😮
Imo. Evh is the Goat
Ozzy was probably freaking out..nobody showed up Sabbath..
Me watching plini, brandon ewing or anyone of the dudes in polyphia
One guitarist virtuoso complimenting another.
I've never bought a Van Halen or a Black Sabbath record and never will.
Brian May is a really good guitarist but admits he didn’t even know what the hell EVH was doing. Eddie took over where Hendrix left off but went beyond Jimi and left the guitar world far more. But respect to all guitar trail blazers.
Jimi Eddie Yngwie: THE HOLY TRINITY
Yngwie? A friend called him an eighties poof who played fast scales.
@@pauljordan4452 yeah well a friend told me that you offered him your backside last year. You enjoy it?
Edward will not be matched for a great while. Sure, Mancuso is next level technique wise, but there's still something different about EVH
I'd take Brian Mays playing over Eddie Van Halen any day, because Brian's playing has way more depth and feeling perfectly integrated into the songs, not just poppin' wheelies all the time.
Eddie was a Ferrari, Hendrix was a model T… but that’s just me .
Professional musicians have no problem appreciating and praising the talents of their peers. It's like dumb fans that can't do the same for different artists or genres
Better than Hendrix
