GOT IT.... YEAH ! 🤘

I’ve never heard anyone that can do 0:27-0:29 as well. I’ve watched tons on KZbin. I never even heard Eddie ever play that part again the same way. That’s the hardest part of the whole thing for me. Working on it.

Without taking away anything from the Dave Years which were just amazing music and Rock Hard showmanship., The Photos and Interviews with Sammy were just pure Joy to the next level of creation which was delivered through the music growing the fan base beyond the Band's expectations. Eddy drank to cope with the pressure to be an extrovert and suffered with unwanted change to front Men placing stress on his immune system. Best Guitar of Rock player ever. His isolated guitar tracks speak louder than anything. Just a regular kid dedicated to what he was born to do and made it happen. Miss hearing his next project, He brought so much joy into my life including buying my first guitar. Long Live the King of Rock Guitar Mr. Eddy Van Halen

I’m listening while I’m on acid and I saw God man

THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER OF ALL TIME

Eddie has a lot to thank Templeman for that’s for sure

Definitely sounds like the Soldano

The delay from the Echoplex is on for the entire track. There’s never a point at which there is no delay, even in this room mic track.

did he use a phaser on the album mix??

WOW MAN ! That was pretty fucking sick! I'd like to hear RR's "I don't know" at 60% ! Keep it coming Bro ! 😃

This is awesome almost makes it seem possible for me at this speed! 😂 What EVERYONE misses though is Eddies smile - and the pure joy he showed while playing!!

Amazing!!! :)

At this speed you can really hear a lot of the nuances that make it great. Even the little imperfections give it so much color. It's fucking amazing. We miss you Ed!

It's better the original sound 😂🎉

That's super cool! Thats about as fast as I can play it clean! Lol. Eddie Van Halen is the King!!!🤘🏻

Whoa! Way kool! There is Eddie Van Halen and then there is everybody else when it comes to innovative guitarists in the hard rock world.

You know you just can't stop it!

Jesus…we didn’t deserve Eddie.

Unsafe at any speed

Chills EVERY time I hear this track by Van Halen especially near the ending. Not going to matter how many times since 96', it gets me to this day. Never heard an isolated Guitar version until now.

Excellents....Wow.Larry Hernandez 😮

Huge commentary here.... In 78/79 these guys with youth-energy-talent single-handedly bring back the the four piece rock band with dynamic front man and wizardry guitar and ensemble...I was 16 years old when the debut came out and thought what the hell is this? It's in a time period when Techno, Disco, RAP origins and punk are dominant on the landscape. Time and place have a huge role in music and these guys came at the right time and the right place...... An American band that held back nothing. In later years I realized that Van Halen still made music but not the same as music from the debut album to Fair Warning.... These guys were special in music historically. Just my opinion.

Thank you 🙏!!!!!!

Hearing the opening Alex drum fill like this gives me chills…just mere seconds away from a world changing solo

I think this is the best rhythm track Eddie ever laid down 🏆

Now with hurricane Milton coming after Helene, respect is all you can do. I'm NOT idolizing music with disaster, BUT ... Pictures of devastation with the song would set it in stone.

This is my favorite song from the Hagar years bc of his guitar playing

Sufleme.

This should end any "who's the best" questions or polls. No one else but this man wrote masterpieces in a rock context.

Bravo!! Holy Shit, this smokes!! 🔥🤘🏼🎶

Beautiful.....brings tears to my eyes.

1:57 - Best WHAMMY BAR CONTROL on the planet!

Definitely split signal into clean and dirty setups. Cool stuff

That's the best electric 12 string tone since Stairway To Heaven. Secrets also has my favorite Ed solo. No it's not dazzling like Eruption but rather emotional and focused. To me it showcases Ed's control and master musicianship playing something that just fits so well with the song. This is the side of Eddie that all the technical shredder copycats miss.

What?!?! There’s a channel that has EVH isolated tracks. Subscribing hard 🤘

Love the music not a fan with the choice of lyrics 🤷🏽😒

Do the whole album bro! This is awesome 👍🏽

Absolutley fascinating as usual. even though there's the structure and repeated chord sequenses, i dont think he plays them the same way twice, theres always just that little nuance, eg. up an octave, an added or removed note, a slide or a pop , and theres just so much swing and air to it, jeez, the cross rythym -counter beat he and Alex start it with, and that stunning solo that just comes right out of the gates with authority. We'll be unpacking Ed's gifted and remarkable songwriting and abilities for decades , just my thought , but even if he never wrote Eruption or tapped at all, his work was done , groundbreaking, explosive, unique and vibrant. His right hand had more Chop than a butchers shop.

One of the pinnacles of Eddie’s musical genius. What a pleasure.

Knowing how utterly great he was/is, I still listen to this and shake my head in awe. The guy just had a channel to something that nobody else has ever had. It takes your breath away. All you can say is, Edward Van Halen.

After all these years & it's still a piece of music that, to me, rivals all the greatest. Classical, Country, Funk, Blues, all of it. He was one of a kind. Thank God!

I have no words

Sounds really compressed and obviously he had some detune fx by then. Any reason why it sounds so compressed?

Shit hot!

In the hands of the right players those EBMM guitars really sounded amazing!

Masterpiece!

The very ending is the best. 😍

Greatest rock composer ever! Eddie you are so missed ❤

Its just amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Its just amazing.....
