You really hear how much delay Ed was using. Side note: I love my Charvel So Cal, but for some reason, mine just doesn't sound as good as EVH's . Lol 😂

ajajaj que corre viento !! ajajaja

He was the GOAT.. So missed… King Edward🙌🏻

Mr. Edward Van Halen. The greatest guitar player to ever walk this face of earth.

I miss him..what a legend..greatest guitarist of all time

What a great human being what guitarist what a legend

One of the only musicians who passed and when I heard I hyperventilated from shock and literally started crying. Ed impacted my life in such a positive way musically. Much love and respect.

For years I’ve always thought that little slide in the verse riff was one of the trickiest parts of this tune to nail- and here I see Ed making the exact same mistake I always do, at around 3:04! Just a half step too sharp. I feel so vindicated. Long live the memory of King Edward.

Sounds way better than the version that ended up on the actual album. Much nicer melody.

You don’t have to worry about the Man!🤘 Rest in Paradise EVH🕯️

Keep telling us "Randy.. was more influential and talented than Edward...." RIP King Edward❤

Growing up, a man only has a few men to up to. Their Grandfathers Their Fathers And EDDIE VAN HALEN 🔥 🎸🔥

This song is such a masterpiece that it’s still going viral. 💔

AMSTERDAM KILLED...

where is this?

is that a Mickeys Big Mouth?

I love hearing the raw footage of these songs years before they ended up on an album.

Eddie pulling a gun on Fred Durst is one of the best stories I've ever heard.

Pure passion for his music noodling until the riffs come about RIP sir thank you for you contribution miss ya.

How am I only seeing this now, on 5/11/2024…!?!?! What an AMAZING clip. Watching him put the pieces of this song together, is such an absolute TREAT to behold. THANK YOU for SHARING this bit of Ed’s history. 👊🏽🎸🤘🏽

This is priceless

All of the more melodic hair bands were just Eddie spawns.

Smoking kills.

No words

Settings pls 🙏🙏🙏

My hero..

Ed cooking up experiments in the lab. This is great.

King Edward just doing what he did...jammin' out and creating music for his subjects to enjoy....sure do miss him.

i’ll have another please

Truly missed. Rest easy EVH.

Pure gold!

And people complain about how the last album had too much old material. This is one example of how many more songs throughout there career were probavly like that we dont know about.

A video for the ages.

Man I love this guy.

Masterful stunning guitar playing, and then Sammy Hagar writes lyrics like wham bam amsterdam and pisses the VH bros about their homeland and unwittingly breaks up the band.

boring...

Lord have mercy. I miss him so damn much. 🙁

You can tell that's not bedroom practice volume!

He certainly got it all figured out eventually. Probably my all time favorite post-Roth song.

You can see his approach to the fretboard. So fascinating and so different from my own. Really an outstanding video.

I need the kemper presets🙏

Why is the screen all messed up? All I see is lines.

Love this. Are you greatly missed EVH!

Even the extremely gifted among us have to noodle before it becomes a finished product. It's great to see the humanity in the creation of art, that not everything just comes instantly, requiring sweat and toil. Thank you for your years of inspiration, Eddie. You are missed, but thankful we have your music to inspire the generations.

Sounds good! What guitar are you using?

Wow, there's my ALL-TIME guitar hero impressing me all over again. He was such a genius at the guitar. I had absolutely no idea he had the idea of the song ' Amsterdam' 10 years before it was recorded on the Balance album. I absolutely love that era of VH and especially that song/guitar part. I'm floored!!!! This footage is gold and glad it's preserved in time. Thank you!!!

This was '87 not '85. And this is why he was so great and prolific, he didn't do the celebrity stuff didn't, vacation around the world, didn't do Hollywood parties, just stayed home and played guitar late into the night every night.

Probably the most beautiful bit of Ed ever...

Eddie, one of the most amazing guitarists who ever lived, unpolished and raw just playing. And as a Guitarist, I know for a fact that there are probably thousands of recordings of him just playing riffs and licks he wrote and just noodling around like this, and I hope we can hear them all some day!
