Great reaction. Nobody really notices that when he hits all those high notes at the end that he's been going for 13 min! RIP Eddie. Best damn Rock and Roll guitar player ever. Period.
Played concert as well...saw them 1980 81 in Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens 🇨🇦
Eddie built that guitar himself from the ground up. He said there were no guitars that could do what he wanted so he made one himself. This particular one has a Kramer brand neck but that was only because at the time Eddie endorsed the company. The rest of the guitar he built. He also designed his own amps and the ones available now are considered some of he finest on the market.
This one was built by Kramer
Thank you for that!! excellent piece of information I did not know that I thought that was he's favorite guitar cause in most of the videos I have seeing he's always using that guitar and now I know why, thank you for that. !RIP EDDIE VAN HALEN!
Who could possibly dislike this master at work?
A lot of people don’t realize he was one of the best rhythm guitarists in history.
I was at this show and wilI never forget it. I was a HUGE fan! What a memory!
for the guy asking "is that guitar custom made?", Eddie built that guitar from scratch. well not exactly scratch but he bought all the parts and assembled it himself and the paintjob was also done by him. Also you just witnessed the best guitar player to ever exist at the peak of his powers. He was blackout drunk to the point he doesn't even remember this night. That should tell you all you need to know. RIP King Edward.
Eddie DID NOT build this particular guitar. This is a Kramer. Other than the paint job they look nothing alike.
At the 13:00 minute mark, that is Cathedral. He makes that sound by turning the volume up an down while tapping with his left hand. Amazing.
that cigarette lived a better life then i did
This was the first reaction to this clip where someone recognized that the middle section was Cathedrals. Bravo. Thanks for the really good reaction.
Thank you, thank you, thank you...for not calling this Eruption :) This is indeed his live solo that incorporates parts of Eruption but the rest of youtube hasn't figured that out :)
For those who are saying Eddie built this guitar, he did not build this one as such. It’s a Kramer copy of the original Frakenstrat. Which Ed made from factory seconds fender parts.
Ed had Kramer build this guitar to his liking.
But it’s not “the” franky
Correct…to think that after 8 years Eddie would be playing the original “Frankenstrat” is ridiculous!
Yes, Eddie built that guitar himself for under $200 bucks. However, the crazy atmospheric sounds are being generated by his hands and creativity, not any special effects built into the guitar. His custom built guitar is actually very simple, electronically......but perfectly adjusted to sound like no other guitar before it.
Not entirely. The "atmospheric" sounds come from electronic effects devices, either pedals or rack units. For example, the entire Cathedral section could not be performed without a delay effect. There's also a flanger effect there which gives it that swirly sort of sound.
@@MachuPicchu83 What effects were built into Eddie's guitar? Like I said....none.
@@CribNotes said: "the crazy atmospheric sounds are being generated by his hands and creativity"
@@MachuPicchu83 I've never heard digital appliances generate whale sounds by themselves. How about you?
@@CribNotes without the echo and flanger, the whale would sound much like it was in an anechoic chamber, where there is essentially zero acoustic atmosphere. Don't get snarky with me.
probably the chillest coolest 3 guys on a reaction vid i have seen and rip Eddie, you earned my sub fam!
Much appreciated!
The guitar is known as Frankenstein or Frankenstrat. And it’s probably one of the most iconic guitars ever and only god knows what it’s worth. I know David Gilmore (Pink Floyd) allowed one of his to be auctioned off for charity and it brought in over a million. He’s still alive. So again the sky is the limit on what this guitar is worth. There is a replica in the Smithsonian and I was privileged to get to hold the actual one he’s playing once. They were at Hard Rock Cafe before a concert sighing autographs it was on display and I asked him if I could hold it and he actually let me! It should probably go in the Smithsonian instead of the replica. This guitar is a national treasure and it’s probably as famous as him. Oh. He built the guitar himself. Only the bridge pickup worked so when he hits the switch it turns the pick up off and on giving it the violin sound. I could get into more detail about it. But he built it essentially for a few hundred bucks 🤣
Isn't that his 5150? Thought that was a kramer?
@Craig DANIELSON That was the one played on VH2. Black with yellow stripes, called bumblebee I think by some
@@guitarsandgames495 yes this is the Kramer 5150 model not the Frankenstein. The Frankenstein has a toggle switch in the center pick up hole and a broken pick up in the neck slot
Several songs in this: Eruption, 316, cathedral, Spanish fly, etc
Compilation of different solos from different albums
There’s no Spanish fly! If you don’t know what you’re talking about stay off
Mean street as well
@@terryhostetler7601 The end of Spanish fly is there, even the taped ending when he's sitting down near the end.
Yes the guitar is custom. He built it himself. This is just one of the many things that puts Eddie on the top of the list of guitarists. His innovation. The ability to say..this guitar isn't making the sounds I need it to, so I'm going ro change it and rebuild it until it does. It's not just his technical prowess on the guitar, but even more so his musical sensibility. His brain just worked different than the rest of us. True and total legend and this was a great tribute. RIP EVH
And because it was a custom build, when Kramer tried to market a replica, it just didn't sound the same........
@@hawkeyeted interesting!
He did not build this one. This is the Kramer 5150 model made for this tour
@@hawkeyeted except that in this video was the Kramer one.
@@ArturHolindak the guitar was a Kramer pacer with a custom neck. It had a stock Floyd rose tremolo and a single Seymour Duncan pick-up (modified by EVH) and a single volume pot. In terms of it’s electronics, it’s about as simple as a guitar gets. EVH invented various now industry standard pick-up and amplifier modifications. In addition to completely reinventing guitar playing he reinvented the instrument, the amp and various effects. There has never been another who has had such a complete, game changing impact on their instrument. I hear people talking how he was the best after Hendrix and I laugh.....he was so far ahead of Hendrix in terms of his impact and anyone else for that matter. A game changer like no other
I saw this live in 1986. I’ll tell you, he cranked up the amps and it was LOUD. Eddie was so amazing! A musical maestro who left us too early (RIP). He pieced together his guitars to make the crazy sounds that he created. “Cathedral” sounds like a violin and cello. I think he was an alien from a planet of aliens who all play guitar. 😂
"What just happend?"
Van Halen!!! That's what happend.
The master in his element.
Great reaction guy's!🤘🎸👊
This guitar Eddie is playing is the Kramer 5150 guitar, which he built himself. The other guitar is the famous Frankenstrat which was originally, the white guitar with the black stripes, as seen on Van Halen's first album. Eddie was an innovator and an incredibly gifted musician of which we might never see the likes of again. His legacy and his music will live on. RIP Eddie.
He did not make the 5150. Kramer built a dozen of them for this tour
There have been dozens of other guitar players who were and are faster. But he built his own guitars and changed the way people looked at the guitar. His playing is so incredibly unique and soulful. His rhythm playing is unparalleled. He invited sounds and did things nobody has done before or since. 1977 to 1983, no other band sounded like them. RIP
It’s not about being fast it’s about having rhythm and being soulful, and knowing how to play the guitar being a master at it like he was not about how fast you can play it’s easy to play fast
Check out “Little Guitars” by Van Halen - he used to play with his back to the audience so people couldn’t see how he played two distinct guitar sounds on one guitar.
THE GREATEST!!!!!!!
An incredible musician! Period. He was also best damned rhythm player ever. His timing was impeccable!
The drummer is his brother Alex.
Something you all can't do 😅
Eddie Van Halen is and will always be The Master , The King.
The GOAT. Period. RIP, King Edward.
Eddie built his own guitars nobody else
Kramer made the one he is using in this video
Brian May did too, but it is rare
Yes, his guitar is custom made by Eddie himself, he talks about buying all these guitars and taking parts from a really good guitar and putting other parts from other guitars. He also used parts that had nothing to do with guitars and it worked. The guitar manufacturers listened to his improvements and started making guitars the way he made his guitar.
...."that guitar needs another cigarette"....lmao
Best line I've heard listening to these reactions...🤘🤘🤘
The way he does Cathedral is he uses a Eventide H3000 Harmonizer effect while using his right hand to create volume swells with the volume knob while doing hammer ons and pull offs with his left hand...
This is one of the few channels who know very little about Van Halen that pointed out that the "Cathedral" section sounded like a violin
And that was the point, because Eddie and his brother were raised in classical music. And Eddie wanted to make a guitar piece that sounded as such
Eddie did build that guitar. It is called " The Franken-Strat ". There is another with the same/similar paint scheme, but its black and yellow called the "Bumble bee". That guitar rests with the late great Dime-Bag Darrell.
RIP King Edward.
He was so great! Unfortunately he died on my birthday. You were talking about throwing guitar picks... I caught Nuno Bettencourt's (Extreme) in 1990, in my hair. :)
That was his guitar. All his. There was an interview with his wife Valerie Bertanelli who said he couldn’t rehearse that solo. He knew what he wanted to throw in to it and some were riffs from his songs and some of the ones he loved, but no rehearsal. He was so amazing as was his brother as well. Didn’t care for the music after DLR left because it just wasn’t Van Halen anymore to me. I didn’t care for Sammy Hagar before Van Halen, but he owes all his success to those brothers. Eddie and Alex are legends of rock music and it’s so sad to see a replacement come in and take away what made them who they were, but it didn’t mean Eddie and Alex didn’t fight back about it to Hagar a lot. I’m so glad as a music lover that I was able to see them together as a full band when I was 6 but I remember everything about it. Never saw them with Hagar.
This was only half way thru the show…. He is the GOAT
He had the back of the guitar open, exposing the springs. Notice how he kept it close to his body. He used his leg and hips to get everything out of it
Was in HS when VH was big, brother got me into them with their first 2 albums. Back when we used to cover our school books with paperbacks, I would always draw the VH2 logo on the cover. Only famous person who's death made me cry. My favorite band for so long. Saw them in 86 on this tour.
AND whats even crazier is , when he was interviewed and showed this video he said he was so loaded he doesnt even remember doing this solo , he played loaded many times !!!
Van Halen and led Zeppelin are my 2 favorite bands all time.van Halen was my very first concert I ever went to. eddie and Alex solo every time blew my away and even mike Anthony base solo was awesome so many great classic songs . eddie one of the all time greatest guiterest every to play .after I seen them live the first time when ever the came to town I live in americas hometown Plymouth Massachusetts the would play Mansfield or other near bye place then id go to other states close to see them live also.I ended up seeing them live in concert 16 times seen them with David lee Roth ,Gary Sharon, and Sammy Hagar on vocals seen them more with Sammy.always one my favorite concerts I've been to a lot shows and all time great bands.you could always her and feel eddies guitar go right through your soul and feel the vibrations it was like a trip even when I was sober and did no drugs or booze.my other all time concert was led zepplin at the old Boston garden 2 concerts back to back I had tickets for both concerts sold out in 10 mins.I could got 3000 dollars for 1 when I got them and they only cost 30 dollars I had 11 tickets for both shows I brought all my best friends to both shows when ever we here a zepplin or Van Halen song we all crank it up and remember some the greatest and funnest times of our life.I took my brother to see both shows both led zepplin and Van Halen he said was best times his life and thanked me for taking him and his friends as well.we took a limo to the shows so nobody had to worry about driving.my brother passed away at age 51 3 years ago I miss him so much.when ever song comes on from both bands I think those times and my hairs stand up on my arms some the greatest music ever.and I know brother watching over me and saying I remember chad.I have some his ashes in a music note charm gold chain I were and take with me to every concert I go to were still rocking out.love your guys page and reactions keep doing it you guys are cool guys
Eddie built his own guitars n his garage he never had anybody customized his guitars
you asked at about the 14 minute mark "if there were people at this concert or any of their concerts "back in the day" that were present bc of an invite, free ticket, chaperone etc and not knowing what they were about to experience..? yes. this concert was in New Haven, Ct. late august '86 b/t/w. I saw them a month later in Houston Sept.29. I have ran into several people over the years who admitted to being at the Houston concert that night, for one reason or other, and each said they were blown away. I've seen VH 9x and can honestly say the 5150 show was the most high energy, intense of all. (i was unable to see them during the Roth years though)
when Eddie is slapping the guitar it the beginning of Mean Street
Great tribute
At his apex. Nothing finer... and Ed did all this drunk af and high on copious amounts of Bolivian marching powder. Ed was and will always be our guitar Mozart of the 20th century. Will never be another like him in our lifetime. Glad I got to see all the tours 78-86. Bless you Ed. Still thanking him for everything daily.
And he recognized Dimebag as an innovator...
That guitar is called The Frankenstrat. Much like Frankensteins monster was just put together with pieces from multiple people, such was this Fender stratocaster that he rebuilt a few times from scratch.
And it had one knob controlling the voltage. He built it himself
I was in 9th grade and went to the tour. I saw that solo live and it was mind-blowing.
We snuck up to 6th row.
It was also my first concert ever. May explain my addiction to concerts. 😂😂. RIP Eddie….legend. 😢
After Alex and Eddie switched instruments when they were kids, Eddie was able to naturally able to play a piece in no time that Alex had been trying to play but couldn’t…..also, Eddie would be sitting on his bed practicing and Alex would go out and socialize…he would come back hours later and Eddie would still be there playing the guitar.
These stories are directly from Alex Van Halen.
EVH FOREVER
Back in '95, I just started dating a girl at the beginning of the year. We were both in our early 20s. About a few months later I brought her to a Van Halen concert in Sacramento. This was her first rock concert. Ever. She was into Latin music and pop. I remember her telling me she didn't know what to expect, but thought rock shows were just loud noise.....from what her friends told her. I looked over to see her huge smile during Eddie's solo. And also during Alex's drum solo. She was totally blown away and became a rock fan from that point on.............and that was also a great night for both of us! I mean really great into the morning. Van Halen! Thank you.
80s my friends wish you could seen them.
My buddies were in that crowd.
Cathedral is from Diver Down(1982)….my first concert was that tour!
Well you got part of it right Eddie was put on this planet to play guitar. His dad saw it Alex saw it everyday. He
"he looks like super young though" .... DUDE, it was 1986 !! That was 36 years ago !! :D
1986 Ed was like 31 I was 19 and I saw this tour beyond killer 🤘🎸 rip brother 🎸🤘🎸
I caught one of Eddie's picks at the Tacoma Dome on the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge tour....Alice In Chains was the supporting act...needless to say it was one of the best shows I ever attended....my to favorite bands
There's know one like Eddie Vanhalen🎉
Rip Eddie 🖤🌹
Thank you for such a wonderful tribute to our King Edward.
watching interviews with him and other kind folks like yourself paying tribute to Eddie and reactions makes it somewhat easier to bear.
Rock / Metal / Guitar Music rarely gets mainstream exposure and respect so it is greatly appreciated you guys doing this.
There’s a Bad Religion ( Punk Band ) Lyric that says it al “ Everyone you love leaves a mark on your soul,
The world is a little less bright without King Edward I’m fighting cancer and depression and EVH has been an integral part of my life since day one.It may some daft but it feels like I’ve lost a family member.
His devotion to the instrument and chasing tone is unparalleled.
This is a brilliant interview if you haven’t seen it th-cam.com/video/yb26D8bBZB8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Z%C3%B3caloPublicSquare
most people don’t know the King Edward was a bi-racial half Asian / half white Immigrant and that his lifelong friends were the black kids who stood up for them when they came to the US. As they were ‘half breed’ immigrants who couldn’t speak the language. And look at where they ended up man! A definitive American Dream story.
Eddie played the solo on Michael Jackson’s Beat it, re-arranged it so it sounded more ‘Rock’ and introduced Michael to a wider audience for free.
Eddie buried Dimebag Darrell from Pantera with his original Bumblebee Guitar when Dime’s life partner Rita asked him to make a Copy Ed said “an Original deserves an Original”
Vinnie Paul ( Pantera ) Dimebag’s brother says the last words his brother said to him was Van f+*in Halen’ their nightly ritual before hitting the stage.
He gave Jerry Cantrell 5150 Stacks after touring with Alice In Chains and the last concert he went to was TOOL and a TOOL fan asked him to take a picture of the fan in front of Tool’s stage and he did, The fan had no idea who Ed was and Ed was chill with it. / no ‘don’t you know who I am’ attitude.
Frank Zappa loved and respected Eddie and got him to teach Dweezil who was obsessed with ED When Frank died Ed was THE 1st first to call with condolences and to offer any assistance.
He did the same for Chris Cornell Guitarist Pete Thorn when Chris Passed
He got Allan Holdsworth signed to Warner to introduce Allan to a wider audience
He was the 1st to mod his guitars in such an extreme way chasing tone, popularising the Super Strat - Humbuckers in Strat style guitars, Waxing Pickups, Variac on his amp and did his first 2 albums with the original Fender Whammy which led to the creation of the Floyd Rose
Whammy Bar and later he developed the D-Tuna addition to go from standard to drop D
Les Paul Said Ed, him & Leo Fender are the only guys who know how to make guitars
His 5150 Amp is still THE go to amp and sound of Modern metal, Gojira use the EVH 5150
His Rhythm Playing was funky, tasteful and rockin’ and his songwriting is the reason his loss is affecting grandparents, parents, kids and all ethnicities alike as Van Halen songs will live forever.
He bravely and quietly fought cancer for 20 years
Much love to Alex Wolfie, Valerie, Janie, Dave, Michael, Sammy, Gary & all the fans that lost this Brother from another mother
Enjoy EVH th-cam.com/video/L9r-NxuYszg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Hazardteam
$85 Frankenstrat.... built from 4 different guitars. After that he has 4 patents for the changes he made to the guitar. The back side of guitar has an open box.. Eddie Van Halen forever changed the way rock was played after the first Van Halen album was released...
Both Ed and Alex classical trained musicians 🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🥁
I have one of his stage used picks from that tour. I have about 30 of his t to though his career from every tour 1986-2015.
08:47 is done by hammering on a note with his left hand and resting the side of his right hand on the strings and moving it up the neck. It's quite easy actually but still a very cool trick.
I had no idea this was just down the street from me in New Haven Connecticut I wish I could have gone but I was only 13. 😆
Another great one to check out is a concert in Canada 1997 and he did the song a year to the day in the middle of the song he broke out into an amazing solo.
To bad you missed a great show. I was there both nights🙂
He's making love to his guitar and by extension (voyeurism?) I had a multiple ear-gasm.
The cool tone you were hearing around the 13-minute mark is his instrumental called Cathedral from the great album Diver Down. I thought it was a synthesizer when I first heard the album.
Eddie played at hie gain and distortion he controlled the humming of the single coil pickups with the volume knobs
Except he isn’t using a single coil pickup and only ever has in studio and that’s a rare occasion
Eddie had a guitar placed in Randy Rhodes casket when at his funeral.
There are great guitarist.... there
Man I get a kick out of watching You Guys see these videos and the reaction as someone who got to grow up and these Bands Like Van Halen and Sammy Hagar I was a Huge Fan I was about 15 years old when we all heard Eddie Van Halen for first time Wow Unbelievable took the Guitar to a whole different planet and first time getting to see Van Halen they used to have at this football stadium down where The State Fair is and from 1978 till 1988 there were these Music Festivals called Texxas Jams and I got to go to 9 of them my first 1979 my friends and brothers and their friends we got our tickets $15.00 to see starting about 11 AM TKO, SammyHagar he got the 80 thousand of us up then Nazareth and Van Halen was next had just released 2nd album Boston was Awesome and then Heart was Great and we were trying to leave at almost 3 AM and Blue Oyster Cult was still playing but man I would Really Like to see Your Reactions to watching Sammy Hagar Live 1983 Checkerdome just even first song of concert he means Rock’n Roll We really got to see so many concerts Big Groups tickets were about 7 dollars from 77 to now I have seen almost 700 concerts and a lot were Van Halen and Sammy Hagar you Guys have alot of Fun I liked Your reactions to REO Speedwagon Roll with The Changes
The violin effect is done controlling the volume nob turning it up and down while the other hand is pressing the note.
Edward Van Halen - The King of Ten Fingers and Six Strings
He combined parts of many guitars to build that guitar himself and he also custom built his amp to achieve the sound that he wanted!
A few requests- VAN HALEN- 'Little Guitars'; CRY OF LOVE- 'Bad Thing'
RIP Eddie
Not to sound too freaky but I think Eddie s making love to his guitar
Rip to the master 🎸🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
check out Van Halen's song "One foot out the door" an absolutely incredible guitar solo that will knock your socks off
I cannot imagine anyone going who didn't know Van Halen, or Eddie's talent but I suppose it's possible. I saw them during this tour and yes - this part was mesmerizingly good. He credits Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin with giving him the "tapping" guitar technique he was well known for. Eddie also has the sweetest smile ☺️ and just looks so happy with his best friend in his hands, the "Frankenstrat" ❤️ He is sorely missed.
He's using the sound volume instead of a pic. He uses his left hand to up and down the neck and he's timing with his right hand turning his volume knob up and down.
And tons of delay.
Actually the guitar picks have the band and the player's names on them. I have at least a dozen... Kiss, Boston, Styx, Eagles. Eddie helped create the nut lock system that allow the deep wham Bar dives without taking the guitar out of tune.
@Views From The 502 - Great reaction. Another awesome guitar shredding video is Jeff Healey "See The Light". You won't be disappointed. I promise.
you guy must check out Zakk Wylde version of Mississippi Queen, WOW
Check out Sammy Hagers first group Montrose ~ Bad Motorscooter he wrote the song when he was 18
Who are you guys? Not knowing who he is and if his gear is custom🤯 Wow just Wow kidos🤪
You're thinking of a slide guitar which still uses picking but also a metal tube on the finger to slide across the neck.
He was married to Valerie Bertanelli
Some great Halloween tunes for you, Limbo by Rush, and two songs from Jimmy Buffett the desperation samba and vampires mummies and the holy Ghost
Guitar violin cello 💌🇨🇦
Guy's plz check out Tina s moonlight sonata & Ozzy's sato from diary of a madman Randy Rhoads just killing it 🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸
Parachute Pants, Eddie was good, Even to build your own guitar 🎸 RIP Eddie 🙏
He's in his early 30's
If you thought Eddie Van Halen was unbelievable... PLEASE do a reaction to this video: Neil Peart Drum Solo Live in Frankfurt
th-cam.com/video/LWRMOJQDiLU/w-d-xo.html... you won't believe it, but you won't be sorry ! ! ! This reaction was amazing; loved it! R*I*P* Eddie & R*I*P* Neil
Gary Richraft flying turkey trot live REO Speed wagon guitar solo better shread than Van Halen and he did tapping before Van Halen mind blowing Gary past away
Sounds more like the vocals of a whale..
Does it sound more "gangsta" if you tell us your area code?
That's completely up to you
Jesus christ is coming repent choose him today, he loves you
I think you guy only left dark guy needs to go elsewhere! Meaning no reaction if he doesn't like it he is in another planet
