Eddie Van Halen - Hot for teacher live

[@colosalblack]

I'll never understand how EVH sounds so clean and pure live. What a genius.

[@bluesmaniac580]

Practice, Practice and practice! He do nothing but practice every day for like 10 Hours or more, and plays his soul out! 😎 He became one with the guitar! Greetings!

[@efekanuyguner6513]

[@rickeymitchell8303]

Practice

Because he could actually play. He could play through a toaster and it would sound great

That's Tony Levin on bass, and great Jan Hammer - ask Jeff Beck - on keys. Be ashamed.

Eddie when he plays sloppy is really nice to hear sometimes because his wrong note combinations helped make him so iconic along with obvious other traits

[@funkular]

That "uncool" guy is Jan Hammer, an incredible keyboardist and composer. He used to play these great Moog lead sounds back in the day with Jeff Beck, Al Di Meola, and others. He could sometimes make the synth sound so close to a guitar that you had to really listen to tell who was who. This isn't really a good representation of him but if you don't like the look of those "key-tars" then it's never going to look cool. What does it matter, anyway, the music is all that matters.

[@erichtisnado1536]

I also spy Tony Levin on bass. He plays for King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, Liquid Tension Experiment, and so many others. Amazing player. He also plays Chapman Stick like a mufugger.

[@chrisallison4175]

This made me tear up. He was so great and way too young too die. First tube amplifier I ever bought was a Marshall Plexi with a Variac Transformer. I tried so hard to emulate the famous “brown sound” but there was only one who could pull it off. We will miss you forever!

Rest In Peace, Eddie Van Halen. One of the best lead guitarists in the history of the world, a good lyrics writer, a good father to his son - Wolfgang-, and, a Legend of Classic Rock music. ☮️✌️✝️❤️

For those who don't know their musical history. Here's two giants for you to Google. On bass : Tony Levin On Keys : Jan Hammer

[@spercoco]

Anyone else notice that the original inspiration for Hot For Teacher was off the Billy Cobham album called Spectrum a tune called Quadrant Four with none other than Jan Hammer on keyboards and Tommy Bolin on guitar?

[@babyblue7731]

It’s so close between him and Malmsteen. I gotta take EVH though.

[@chrisscooter1]

I am kinda shocked no one has mentioned on this thread the musical connection of this jam to its inspiration. Having Eddie and Jan Hammer together riffing on and taking a detour off of the "Hot For Teacher" boogie groove is an homage to Billy Cobham's "Quadrant 4" which Jan duo'd with the late great Tommy Bolin back in 1973. "Quadrant 4" inspired many of Ed and Alex's double bass grooves....Im the One...The Full Bug and of course Hot for Teacher.

[@bahlsakc9595]

Whenever Eddie was asked in interviews, if given the chance, what dead musician would you want to play with, he would always answer - My Dad, as his dad was a famous clarinetist from Amsterdam. The only song that they ever played together was big bad bill (is sweet william now) on Diver Down. And also Wolfgang was once asked in an interview, what kind of music did your dad listen to, wolfgang explained that the only album his dad had on his phone was his son’s demo, and he’d play it on repeat. Touching stuff.
