I dont know of its been said but at 8:29 i believe he strummed the spings in back of the guitar that keep tension on the whammy bar. Then after that he uses the volume knob to get the chelo sound.
Yes. There was Hendrix, and all those late 60s early 70s dudes... EVH came along and literally changed everything. And while there is no 'best' guitar player, EVH is one of the most influential EVER.🤘
I have to disagree.. Edward was the best.. just like Michael Jordan was to basketball.. sure.. LeBron may own the scoring title..but Michael didn't play 37 season's like he has..if you really pay attention.. you will know who's the best..and Edward was the best..no ands..if's..but's or maybe's....
@@MThomas5150 As basketball goes, Pistol Pete Maravich still owns a good majority of records. In college at LSU, Pete scored 68 points in one game. He still holds the all time scoring record 50 years later, despite there being NO 3 point shot at that time, NO shot clock, and Freshmen due to NCAA rules could not play on the varsity. So he set all those records playing in just 3 seasons. It only took Pete 26 games to reach 1,000 points where it took Shaq 52. I don’t like any of these “Best ?” lists because there are so many that are the best at the style they play. I’d bet John Petrucci could EVH’s music but Eddie couldn’t play John’s. The guys in Dream Theater may all be the G.O.A.T. with their instruments. Buy I don’t like lists. 🙂
My favorite guitar player of all time, I miss him so much. Thanks for sharing this with all of your subscribers. Don’t let this be the last Van Halen video that you react to as there is so much more.
My parents raised me on bands like this. This was a bit before my time but man what a time it must've been to be alive. Your genuine reaction is so endearing sweetie. You have no idea how much joy it brings me seeing people be exposed to and enjoy the magic of Rock and Metal music. 🪄 Keep it up darling. 💜🤘
Eddie’s great at what he does but his solos are mostly gimmicky sound effects. You want to hear solos that are their own songs within songs, listen to Michael Schenker’s solos with UFO, The Scorpions, and his solo projects. Listen to the outro to Love To Love or the outro to Profession Of Violence by UFO. Those solos have SOUL! Eddie’s just doodling. Michael Schenker was entirely self taught.
You realize that Edward was self thought too, correct? This is basically four solos put together …. 13 minutes of music that came from years of piano - that’s why he plays the way he does, it’s his piano background….The dude’s sound effects are all self created …
@@oceanlives4915 EVH didn’t invent tapping or volume swells, he did however took them to another level. Same thing with the beginning of mean street, he was interviewed about that and he said he seen a bass player doing it so he did his own thing with it. The biggest problem with EVH is he never got any better after his first few albums.
@@oceanlives4915 Oh, I see, when someone taps or bass slaps it copying EVH but when he does it it’s innovative. The beat it solo is gimmicky just like 80% of all his other solos. Hell, he wasn’t even the best guitarist in 78 when His first album came out. Allen Holdsworth and Al DiMeola are way better guitarist/musicians than EVH. Hell, Randy Rhoads was hot on his heels with only two albums that were recorded in one year. Jeff Watson was doing eight finger tapping in the early 80’s that was a lot more difficult than the same old tapping EVH did for decades that he never improved on. Take any shredder like Yngwie,Tony Mcalpine,Vinnie Moore,Jason Becker,Paul Gilbert leave him in the dust. His solos are boring compared to any one of those guys. EVH was on top for a relatively short time before newer players out played and out preformed him. I like EVH but he wasn’t a difficult nut to figure out unlike others that came after him.
Eddie van Halen was born in Amsterdam and his family moved to the US when he was very young. He is considered one of the best guitar players of all time, and I agree. The first ever single I ever bought myself was Running with the Devil in 1980... which my mother was not happy about :D ... in those days smoking was allowed everywhere: at home, in bars, in your office, in trains and even on planes.
You just said the truth about everything in your comment Bro. I was trying to not listen to his works in my life because I’m fixated to young and female guitarists like Tina S. What an unforgiving mistake!he is totally different from all the “ famous “ lead guitarists. Smiling almost all the way in this solo unlike David or Steve, who have to go trough their solo in pain. I never will forgive myself to wait so long. But I’m hurry now to see Leonard Messi playing against Houston. It’s not art, it’s perfect engineering like that Philippine pool master.
That cigarette was perfectly legal back then. Most of the people in the crowd were passing joints around and nobody cared. The sky didn't fall. The Boogeyman didn't get anybody. We had a blast back then. Trust me. I was there a lot of the time. God how I miss it.
I was very fortunate to go at the concert during the VH tour when this concert was filmed. Eddie's guitar solo is the most memorable performance I remember. Best guitar solo I have witnessed in all concerts I have attended. I had a ticket to his last live show but was not able to go. Unfortunately, smoking and drinking shortened Eddie's life and amazing musical career. R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen.
I remember in 1981, when i was in Jr. High School, my friends & I would always walk to the nearest grocery store to buy the rock & roll magazine, Hit Parader!! They would always write about news on the latest rock bands, and Eddie Van Halen was always on the cover of it. RIP Eddie,thanks for the memories!!
The best Dutch guitarist of all time. As a Dutchman from Amsterdam he made it big in the USA and became on of the most influential guitarists of all time. A legend!!! RIP Eddie van halen.
Eddie was and still is a rock legend and a guitar god that had influenced numerous bands and guitarists for years, everyone wanted to be him. Rest in Peace Eddie we all miss you
This was on their first album in 1978. And of course hearing this for the first time as a teeneager was incredible. They were my favorite band and favorite guitarist immediately.
Eddie Van Halen played his different things that he had discovered when he was teaching himself the guitar. He never took a lesson and he was completely self taught and he made his own guitar because he could not find a guitar that had everything that he wanted a xss guitar to have so he by built it himself and now his guitar is one of the largest selling guitars that is sold now. He was and is probably the greatest guitarist that has ever lived and has inspired more people to pick up the guitar than anyone else since the 1970's when his band first came out. He is known as "King Edward " by his fans. I have been a Van Halen fan for most of my life and I recommend that you take a deep dive down the Van Halen rabbit hole. Starting with the early music and going to the most recent before he died. His son Wolfgang has a band and he has his father's musical genius.
This solo started out as a warm up exercise when they played in clubs While Van Halen was making their debut album.They put this solo as a trackt only took one to record it.From 1978-2015.He was always experiment with new ways to get sounds out of his guitar
My favorite parts of this solo are when he mixes in parts of the album version of the solo. It's only about 2 minutes long on the album, but it's iconic. For fans of VH, you instantly know the parts I'm talking about, These uninitiated youngsters won't, but that's ok. At least they have a taste of what we grew up with.
It warms my heart to see the younger generation seeing King Edward for the first time ❤️🤘🏻 I’m 52 and I started playing because of this man . Keep diving more into Van Halen 👍🏻
It may surprise you to know that Eddie actually got his start in music as a classically trained concert pianist in his youth. He & His brother Alex later would teach themselves the guitar & drums respectively. BTW you should also ✅ out Alex's drum solos. It has been said that he could play the double kick bass pedals faster than what could even be created digitally!
I enjoyed your reaction pretty lady! I grew up on Van Halen's music. And I've seen this video of his guitar solo for a long time. And it never gets old! And I sure do miss him. I still can't believe he's gone😔
Oh young child, smoking was the least “illegal “ thing we did on and off stage back then and today. That was such an innocent comment it made me smile.
Immigrated with his parents and brother from the Netherlands, classically trained and multi instrumental musician, self taught on guitar, and literally one of the greatest guitarists in the history of modern music. Genius, virtuoso, innovator. There will never be another Edward Lodejwik Van Halen.
Eddie is not just a fantastic guitarist but an artist, making him stand out to me! His lead breaks were pure electricity but his rhythm playing was the foundation that drove his songwriting with brother Alex. Technique and tones that will take a lifetime to fully digest. "There are no rules" - Eddie Van Halen
This was 1985 in New Haven Connecticut. I lived 15 minutes fron here. New Haven Colisseum was an enclosed place and not outdoors This was about the time I went to numerous concerts in this venue. Back then many people smoked during concerts, so no one was going say anything to Eddie smoking. If it wasn't cigarettes it was other stuff..LOL This colliseum was demolished in 2007. I have many fond memories of seeing concerts here during my young adult years.
You know, I have heard about, Jimmy, Paige, Clapton and SRV. When I say Jimmy, I mean Mr. Hendrix. Always find myself coming back to EVH solos. One of a damn kind.
I have had the pleasure of seeing Van Halen 7 times live. It was always almost being in the presence of the deity. Another guitarist that gave the same feeling is Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Thank you for playing Eddie Van Halen and welcome to the Mighty Van Halen....please enjoy there music saw them in 83' US Festival and 84,86,88,91 and 07 al in Los Angeles...thanks again ❤😀
Because he was the KING NOBODY BETTER. and a musical genius. A beautiful reaction from a beautiful lady. I luv your accent. The solo is made up of different parts of different songs. If you listen to more of his songs you will see he is better than any of those guys you mentioned.
The frustrating part of watching this iconic performance is knowing how Eruption blends right in to the next song on the album You Really Got Me and that transition is one of the best parts.
You need to listen to Michael Schenker’s solos on Love To Love and Rock Bottom, etc. by UFO. Michael was entirely self taught. His solos are songs within songs. They have soul and emotion.
You enjoyed watching it here, I enjoyed seeing this tour live back in 86. His solo was pretty much the same with maybe a few subtile differences, but basically the same. It's still one of the best concerts I've been to, and I've been to many. So does he play so fast, it's called practice & LOTS of it.., plus having a innate ability to play guitar helps immensely. So glad you enjoyed watching Eddie, and I highly recommend exploring Van Halen's catalog deeper, there's lots of great stuff there.
Even 3 minutes of this performance, if that's all he ever did, he is instant legend. He is insane. 😄 I grew up listening to him. Those who didn't are missing out.🤷♂️
Edward Van Halen is considered by most, to be the greatest rock guitarist of all time. Aside from playing, he also designed and built guitars and amplifiers with different guitar companies. He has influenced a couple of generations now of guitar players. Sadly, we are approaching the anniversary of his untimely death to cancer in 2020. RIP Eddie.
Sent a link to him giving an interview later in life. One of the guitars he built is in the Smithsonian museum.. He had a truly God given talent for music
Been into VH from go in 78. Bands can smoke, it’s in their contract tour rider. We can’t smoke anymore but they have no rules or they won’t play the venue.
Listen also to Stevie Ray Vaughan playing Texas Flood - this is a great rock solo - SRV's is equally as good in the blues genre - and just to help it's "Van Hay-len" - his tappiung technique makes it sound harder than it actually is, but he is absolutely a fantastic guitar player; his flat picking is pretty amazing - of course it is legal to smoke on stage
Thank you Inna for this awesome reaction. IMHO Eddie Van Halen is the G.O.A.T. Wish you had Super Thanks on this video. Would have loved to show my appreciation for your honest opinion and those gorgeous eyes. Sorry, I'm just a sucker for a pretty face. TINA S. (French guitarist) does a cover of "ERUPTION" at age 14 that is equally amazing. But I highly recommend her guitar version of Beethoven's "MOONLIGHT SONATA".
3 years ago today the world lost the Greatest Guitarist Ever...RIP King Edward...I had the Great fortune of seeing him Live 16 times and was blown away every time...He was the epitome of cool with that cigarette tucked behind the low E string, the Coolest looking guitar ever, the Greatest guitar tone in history and that smile, Oh man that smile. When he smiled he looked like he knew the secret to Everything but wasnt quite ready to share it with the rest of us mere mortals...I cried my eyes out the day he died and I do it every year on the anniversary of his passing...
Eddie Van Halen - a true guitar genius and no one has or will ever come close...Eddie stated in an interview that he wanted to be a drummer but this was taken up by his brother Alex so he turned to guitar and became the genius that everyone knows....Van Halen was complete when Eddie's son Wolfgang (who is also an incredible guitarist) joined the band
In this video, you got to enjoy the Greatness that was Eddie Van Halen on the guitar. His older brother Alex plays the drums and in my opinion one of the 10 best rock drummers of all time. If you were to list the best drummers living or dead, he should be on that list. A lot of people prefer the music with David Lee Roth on Vox. Others like me prefer the talents of Sammy Hagar, those that are fans of Van Halen's music have different reasons for their opinions and that's cool music is an art form and is supposed to affect people emotionally. Van Halen were accidental experts at that. They wrote and played music they liked, and their fans were I like that to.👍🤟

It was 1986 and it was not illegal to smoke. You are facing the best guitar player ever❤
Yes, yes it is the best guitar solo of all time. By the greatest guitar musician of all time. I miss him every day. Dang.
This was back when men were men, women were women And musicians had talent it did not matter if they smoked on stage
Just a grown up boy playing with his favorite toy. Smiling the whole time. Rip Eddie, thanks for the smiles
My favorite guitar player of all time, I miss him so much. Thanks for sharing this with all of your subscribers. Don’t let this be the last Van Halen video that you react to as there is so much more.
Steve Via stated there are only two guitarist that changed the way guitar is played one being Jimmy Hendrix and the other Eddie Van Halen!

INNA - You should look up Wolfgang Van Halen - Eddie's son - very talented.
No one compares to Eddie Van Halen, he was the greatest, there will never be anyone as good as what he was..

I got to Open for Joan Jett at Diamond Head Hawaii. In 83 I know this Whole Menagerie and Bullshit of what the Business calls Music. It's Bullshit.
I saw this tour on back to back nights in Detroit. 1986
Immigrated with his parents and brother from the Netherlands, classically trained and multi instrumental musician, self taught on guitar, and literally one of the greatest guitarists in the history of modern music. Genius, virtuoso, innovator. There will never be another Edward Lodejwik Van Halen.
Eddie is not just a fantastic guitarist but an artist, making him stand out to me! His lead breaks were pure electricity but his rhythm playing was the foundation that drove his songwriting with brother Alex. Technique and tones that will take a lifetime to fully digest.

This was 1985 in New Haven Connecticut. I lived 15 minutes fron here. New Haven Colisseum was an enclosed place and not outdoors This was about the time I went to numerous concerts in this venue. Back then many people smoked during concerts, so no one was going say anything to Eddie smoking. If it wasn't cigarettes it was other stuff..LOL This colliseum was demolished in 2007. I have many fond memories of seeing concerts here during my young adult years.

It legit sounds like guitar is screaming! Love your accented beauty.❤😂 Thank you.
I have had the pleasure of seeing Van Halen 7 times live. It was always almost being in the presence of the deity. Another guitarist that gave the same feeling is Stevie Ray Vaughan.
8:13 hes playing with the string above the nut where you tune them. They’re really tight so they make that high pitched sound
Rest in power Mr. Edie Van Halen! dios de la guitarra 🤘🤘🤘🤘
the guitar god Ed Van Halen ! G.O.A.T !
This is an in concert video in New Haven Connecticut, the solo is live !
And there you have a master musician.
Eddie Van Halen Is Legendary Guitar!

You are about to get blown away
Alright dear friend.... I knew you weren't ready for Eddie ‼️🎸💯🔥 this is my first time viewing your channel. Your most excellent 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Rest in peace, Edward Van Halen
I loved your reaction to this!!
Thank you 🫶
He's playing instrumental songs from the band's albums and some of the guitar intros to others.
Thank you for playing Eddie Van Halen and welcome to the Mighty Van Halen....please enjoy there music saw them in 83' US Festival and 84,86,88,91 and 07 al in Los Angeles...thanks again ❤😀

Because he was the KING NOBODY BETTER. and a musical genius. A beautiful reaction from a beautiful lady. I luv your accent. The solo is made up of different parts of different songs. If you listen to more of his songs you will see he is better than any of those guys you mentioned.
Eddie has that guitar smoking what a Legend
He was also so drunk and admitted he can't remember much of it.
Eddie could have done whatever he wanted on stage. Smoke, drink and play, They’re not gonna throw him out! LOL
The frustrating part of watching this iconic performance is knowing how Eruption blends right in to the next song on the album You Really Got Me and that transition is one of the best parts.
You need to listen to Michael Schenker’s solos on Love To Love and Rock Bottom, etc. by UFO. Michael was entirely self taught. His solos are songs within songs. They have soul and emotion.
I'm in Love with this woman ❤️😍

Would have loved to show my appreciation for your honest opinion and those gorgeous eyes. Sorry, I'm just a sucker for a pretty face. TINA S. (French guitarist) does a cover of "ERUPTION" at age 14 that is equally amazing. But I highly recommend her guitar version of Beethoven's "MOONLIGHT SONATA".
You should react to “I Still Love You” unplugged by kiss. Paul Stanley is such an underrated singer.
3 years ago today the world lost the Greatest Guitarist Ever...RIP King Edward...I had the Great fortune of seeing him Live 16 times and was blown away every time...He was the epitome of cool with that cigarette tucked behind the low E string, the Coolest looking guitar ever, the Greatest guitar tone in history and that smile, Oh man that smile. When he smiled he looked like he knew the secret to Everything but wasnt quite ready to share it with the rest of us mere mortals...I cried my eyes out the day he died and I do it every year on the anniversary of his passing...
and HE was able to Marry Valerie Bertanelli ,,, and they Created Wolfgang Van Halen
He's wearing the MC Hammer pants before MC came out , 👍
It IS illegal in most places in the US to smoke..even onstage...however this was filmed in 1986
Eddie Van Halen - a true guitar genius and no one has or will ever come close...Eddie stated in an interview that he wanted to be a drummer but this was taken up by his brother Alex so he turned to guitar and became the genius that everyone knows....Van Halen was complete when Eddie's son Wolfgang (who is also an incredible guitarist) joined the band
Miss you so much Eddie 😢 as does everyone. That cigarette had the best seat that night.
Your probably right about it being illegal to smoke at concerts but I don't think rock stars worry to much about it
No, it is the best guitar solo ever, dear. It's okay. Now, you're a fan, welcome. 😂❤ hahaha
He was the King.......🎸💪💪😢
he taught me how to play
In this video, you got to enjoy the Greatness that was Eddie Van Halen on the guitar. His older brother Alex plays the drums and in my opinion one of the 10 best rock drummers of all time. If you were to list the best drummers living or dead, he should be on that list. A lot of people prefer the music with David Lee Roth on Vox. Others like me prefer the talents of Sammy Hagar, those that are fans of Van Halen's music have different reasons for their opinions and that's cool music is an art form and is supposed to affect people emotionally. Van Halen were accidental experts at that. They wrote and played music they liked, and their fans were I like that to.👍🤟
EVH is Mozart & we’re all Salieri’s. Witnessing greatness, but not in ourselves.
