Eddie Van Halen Tribute | Dreams - Van Halen - Cole Rolland (Guitar Cover)

To my greatest inspiration, Eddie Van Halen.

[@ColeRolland]

This song has been present for so many special moments in my life. It was an easy decision to choose Dreams for my tribute.

[@DavidNwokoye]

Rock in Paradise EVH.

[@whattheflimflam]

My father in law just died and my partner and his father both loved this song. In my head I imagine a montage of my partner and his dad growing together over the years from childhood to adulthood and the final moment when we all told him we loved him. Eddie Van Halen, thank you for your artistry and your vision. This song means so much to me. Cole, thanks for paying tribute to one of rock 'n roll's greatest.

[@patriotfreedomlending4655]

“partner”… #eyeroll This video has the weirdest energy. Onward.

[@jameswood8215]

Eddie would be thoroughly impressed with your ability and tone. I think Eddie would have said, " I couldn't have done it better myself". Thank you EVH for a lifetime of great music.

[@somerandomidiot8827]

I just now discovered this vid. (And this actually happened) - Just prior to finding it, I must have watched parts of some Van Halen favorites - approximately 3 to 5 videos - of other covers, and kept thinking "This sound is too sharp" or "this sounds wrong, it should be more mellow". However, to my delight and excitement, I barely made it 30 seconds into this song and thought "Finally, someone who NAILS IT!" Thank you soo much for this tribute. Any True Van Halen fan would be very proud!

[@gokhanersan8561]

Wow. Listening to this cover with headphones made me realize that Dreams combines all of Eddie’s past work into one song within 4 minutes. What a masterpiece!! What a fitting tribute to the master. Keep VH alive !

[@xxdarkgeminixx]

This is my absolute favorite VH song of all time and I don't think it gets nearly enough recognition.

[@SamGomez1287]

My old man was a big fan of Van Halen, this was my favorite song when i was a kid, had so many memories with my dad, playing air guitar solos and headbanging in the living room of our house. He past away 2 months ago, every time i hear this song it breaks my heart, but at the same time it brings back the most beautiful moments of my childhood, love the video! Cheers my dude!

[@rivalsunmatched6110]

To: Van Halen's Family, When I first saw the original Mighty Morphen Power Rangers Movie, I heard this song at the end. It is still in my head on a daily basis. To me, it was (and still is) the most beautiful song he has/had ever produced, and the most beautiful song within the Electric Guitar Era that's ever been produced! Thank you for being the biggest fans he has had!

[@Bceltic43]

They don’t know you

[@guilhermecabral9750]

This cover made me in tears over here... Thanks for this Cole

[@Altrote100]

that moment (this song in the movie) was epic! "Thanks you, Power Rangers..."

[@audioproducer9089]

of all celebrity deaths that ive seen none has been as tough as EVH. Dreams is by far my favourite van halen song of all time. i could feel my eyes water as i watched this

[@darcassan]

I'd be lying if I said I didn't shed a tear or two listening to this; one could not have asked for more in a tribute to the great EVH. Thanks for this.

[@SuperGaleford]

This deserves a “like” by the host!

[@LifeStartCPR64669]

As a “die hard” VH fan, more specifically EVH, Thank you for this rendition! Eddies legacy will FOREVER live on in our hearts and more specifically, my daughter. All she wants at 7 is VH!!!!! Like father Like daughter! RIP EVH! You may be gone, but your music and legacy lives on in history... Forever!!!

[@ColeRolland]

Thanks so much!

[@Sbsbsbsbsbsb1975]

First off: Dare I invent a new word - That was Vantastic! This song is in my top 10 Van Halen songs. The video, with the Blue Angels, is my all-time favorite music video. My Dad used to be in the Navy. Top Gun is his favorite movie. Anyway, whenever I hear this song, I think of the video & how happy it makes me feel because it makes me think of my Dad & his love for aviation. The words to the song are so powerful. EVH is smiling down on you for doing this cover, brother! 🤘🎸😎🎸🤘

[@dariusfortson1727]

Awesome bro The 👼 Angels were my favorite to watch at airshows when my parents used to take me when I was a child. Plus my mother is retired Navy too. This song by Van Halen was in the end of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie back in 1995.

[@gokhanersan8561]

Vantastic !!

[@squeakyhadez3022]

This cover made me cry , this song means a lot to me , van halen was one of the biggest influences in my life and were the reason I picked up sticks and learned to play

[@Chrisdead27]

R.I.P Eddie Van Halen. You are gone and wouldn't be forgotten and the guitar shredding will always keeping going forever for any other inspiring musicians. Thanks Cole for doing this. 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@kath471]

Is anybody else crying their eyes out? EVH was such a guitar legend and influence of mine. One of the best and one of my faves. You definitely did one of my fave VH songs justice. I think he would have been proud of you, and if he can hear this from Heaven, he is definitely smiling. ❤

[@richlovesfnaf4736]

Me too

[@acetheballer3318]

Just start watching from the 4:00 mark and you’re gonna hear some guitar that can make any rock fan cry! A tribute to EVH while throwing a little creative flare in there! MASTERFULLY DONE COLE

[@elbeetlebeasto]

I remember in like 1986 I was around 5 years old I was fucking around with a Sony boom box and going through the stations looking for something cool to listen to, and this song ('Dreams') was playing on our local rock station. I ran and grabbed a broom and started playing air guitar to the song and my dad came in my room like "WTF are you doing?". I said "Who is this, Dad?" and he goes "Van Halen. They're a bunch of fuckin hippies" and I said "Well, then I want to be a hippie when I grow up!" and he shook his head and walked away, lol. RIP Eddie Van Halen. You inspired generations of musicians with your unmistakable talent and finesse. A TRUE rock god.

You know what’s crazy, is after I got word of the passing of EVH, I came back to cole’s channel to watch his cover of “Eruption” as it’s the best cover of that song I’ve heard. And low and behold, On the same day cole uploads this masterful tribute cover of dreams and it’s yet again the best cover of the song. Thanks for this cole, and rest easy Eddie.

[@MalibuInvestor]

Very well played Cole. Eddie and Co. would be proud.

[@jdsheleg8332]

Great memories from back in 1987, when I got to Korea and all I had was AFNK to watch. This is my go-to song when I am getting ready to go to the street to do my route and I feel some motivation.

[@Tamago-xe4eb]

I remember when I first found eruption on spotify 2 years ago when I was 12 I thought that was the most advanced playing on the guitar, he inspired me to want to mod my guitar. 2 years later and I nodded it finally a week or two after I finished it while playing it I found out eddie died holding that same guitar he inspired me to mod, I couldn't believe what I saw still on the youtube home page I thought it was fake sadly it wasn't.

[@raymundoaustria5821]

Im 11 and Eddie did the same thing last year after his death RIP

[@twillbanks]

I’ve been a musician since I was 5 - 41 years of my life. Your spirit and your passion are just burning through your playing on an unbelievable level. I cried so hard the day I learned of Eddie Van Halen’s passing. I have no doubt he is smiling down on you from Heaven for this INCREDIBLE tribute to his artistry. God bless you, my good man - but it’s quite clear He already has so much.

[@joewilliams3919]

As a dedicated long time couch guitarist…I lose the plot when the Mean Street piece comes in…one man two hands - there probably will never be another Edward…breathtaking - and you have succeeded in giving these historic films new life!

[@KurianJohnMusic]

Eddie Van Halen was an absolute legend. And this song is so damn underrated. The second solo always gets me. Like how perfect it is at that part of the song. Thank you for this song as a tribute. And RIP to the one and only Legend.

[@Rnrf5150]

Underrated? One of the most popular videos that Van Halen ever had on MTV from 5150 was a video made by the Blue Angels, using “Dreams” as the accompanying music. ... The Navy's aerial stunt team, the Blue Angels, created a video of their own for “Dreams,” which they used to promote their 40th anniversary. The video was quickly picked up by Mtv and placed into relatively heavy rotation and over 30 yesrs lo later it became a fan favourite.

[@paulgallucci6201]

Agree. The second solo makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Every single time I listen!!! The best song for VH.

[@seanmurry5349]

I honestly could not have said this ANY better! Honestly, your best cover Cole. Heaven's band just got much better

[@sparkeyjones6261]

Underrated? By whom? It got constant radio play when it was released, and regular play for literally decades.

[@KurianJohnMusic]

@@Rnrf5150 @sparkey jones Ok my bad. But to be the honest out of the van Halen fans I've come across, 90%(approximately) of them know about Eruption, Hot for the Teacher and Panama but when I mention dreams they'll be like have they written a song like that. Damn I didn't know and all that. So. That's where my point was coming from. Ok my bad🙏

[@AdamsTysu]

Eddie - my number 1. You played it great but you added something from yourself. well done!

[@vicktorv]

Solo Jimmy Hendrix y Eddie Van Halen fueron los únicos que cambiaron la forma en tocar la guitarra y revolucionaron el mundo del Rock, antes, antes que nadie tocaron todo... todo... los demás lo único que hicieron fue tocar todas esas técnicas mas rápido, mas lento, mas pesado, al derecho y al revés, Eddie con toda la tecnología de su tiempo innovó y modernizo todo el Rock, le dio un aire de frescura y sin duda hay un antes y después con Van Halen. Agradezcan que vieron a Eddie vivo, que vivió en nuestra época, que muchos hicimos air guitar y otros mas covereamos su música, realmente me pegó su muerte tan repentina, sin embargo lo recuerdo como parte de mi familia porque siempre estuvo, mi casetera, en mi modular, en mi auto, en mi walkman y en mi smartphone, muy cerca de mis oidos, y siempre sonriendo, su música salia de su alma. Grande, Altísimo.

The Original MMPR movie made this song so popular with 90's kids that they wanted the second movie that was being worked on at the time, but got cancelled at the end of the script, which was to feature a remix of Dreams at the end of the movie.
