[@McALLAN1983]

RIP EVH 😢

[@richarddefortune1329]

I get the sarcasm 😂

[@siehayes]

Ha! You got me. I was pumped for a rework of the EVH masterpiece 🤪

[@RoyZivMusic]

impossible, it's flawless.

[@Seaby41]

​@RoyZivMusic got me too. I thought you were about to commit sacrilege..very good

[@JSNH-yl7nq]

​@@RoyZivMusicagreed. Can't fix perfection

[@bunta2622]

real

[@whocares6349]

Nah it wasn't perfect at all. But that imperfection made it sound unique . The solo parts cut off at odd times . Wasnt a smooth transition between licks

[@elfive5186]

The Moonwalk on the fretboard... just simple genius!

[@Cyplex-md1rt]

Why is this has no comments

[@elfive5186]

@@Cyplex-md1rt idk but i think, that everything is said already ^^ i dont even remembere, that i wrote this comment and now, that i came back i saw that it blew up pretty much so thx guys! lol

[@grahamstuart9164]

That was possibly the only way he could get away with that without having his ass torn to shreds😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@McLovin201]

While everyone was getting ready to torch you, I was legitimately gonna give you a chance cause you're that good 😅

[@xmodify6200]

He might be good, but he ain't Van Halen good

[@yeOldeThorne]

Same

[@yeOldeThorne]

​@@Lordgrayson true, no one can beat Eddie

[@ehricjasso8359]

I was like..”Dude it was EVH and Lukather guitars in this song, nothing can make it better” but you nailed it, great video!!

[@ebosetaleisesele2451]

Didn't see that one coming😂😂

[@huntercarter2073]

That 12 15 19 jump always gets me descending

[@torontoyao]

That is one of the most iconic solos ever, EVH threw it down in no time and changed up MJs version, and MJ loved it. I'd love to see you hammer the solo for real

[@markwolfe9236]

Don't hate, this man can certainly play that solo and prob finesse an equal to it✌️

[@misterman6853]

That gave me a good laugh, wasnt expecting the moonwalk down the fretboard😂😂

[@danieldawang2120]

That was so clear to hear what a great effortless playing with that type of guitar

[@GuslanYoyowpo]

Finger walking on Fretboard? That shit Goin sideway tone bruh 😆😆

[@proculusjulius7035]

You've heard of being Rick Rolled now get ready for Fretwalked 😂

[@supritamkarmakar2040]

Never imagined this would comeup, worlds best youtube shorts on guitar licks 😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@samsonakoja2458]

I suspected there was a catch when he said “a lot better”. But, I didn’t see the moonwalk coming. Definitely caught me off guard! Lollll 😅

[@kj64gaming19]

Everyone talks about Eddie Van Halen's solo, but nobody gives credit to Steve Lukather for that iconic backing guitar. He's behind so many other pop songs from the 70s and 80s, not to mention his own band TOTO with such songs as "Africa" and "Hold the Line." Rock legend.

[@roscius6204]

It was a stacked deck...

[@kj64gaming19]

@@roscius6204 What do you mean?

[@roscius6204]

@@kj64gaming19 I was kinda joking. A stacked deck is when cards are arranged in order to cheat. Have 2 guitarists of this caliber on the track was akin to cheating.

[@livealoha50f]

There was only 1 way - across an infinite quantum multi-verse of possible outcomes - that you could have actually delivered on your thesis. Think I lost weight from the anxiety of your statement. Bravo!

[@pixelben-y5d]

you nailed it! I bet EVH cant even pull this off!

[@Ikthariusx]

was about to say dude ur fucking with eddie van halen lmao

[@oliveralfredoayala2918]

Caught me off guard, I've never known you for trash talking or arrogant content. I thought you'd lost your way and then went back to such a charismatic "punch line" (solo) loved it!

[@Loner0410]

You got me! I was bouta crash out for tge slander of arguably the greatest EVH solo

[@AndreasPerezGuitarrista]

The best solo ever ❤

[@shemueltannak4799]

GENIUS! PRODIGIOUS! PRODIGY! CRIATIVE!

[@Vos.j2024]

...how very creative of you Mr Roy! 🔥🔥

[@MU6AFA]

This explains how perfect the original solo is .

[@Snr.Reapuh]

Playing with fire there. Well played!

[@Ricky-hm3no]

Damn that was the definition of "Smooth Criminal." 😂😂🎉🎉

[@brentfoster77]

I see the respect. It couldn't be any better. This is EVH''s best piece, even over Eruption.

[@EsaiSalinas210]

Absolutely golden man! Clean moonwalk too ✌️

[@thenewwildworld]

You got me 100% fell for it hook line and stinker!!!! But it would have been great to see your take on a classic

[@lalarazafimahefa2783]

Oh waow, you got me there 😲🤔🧐🤓😅😂🤣🤣🤣🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! Where do you get these dazzlingly hilarious ideas that hit the mark every time? Really, I love your sense of humor 😜😜😜, Mr. Roy Ziv ☮️💙, thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻!!!

[@Boozer13]

I love this. I laughed way too hard thinking you were one of those pretentious 20 somethings that make videos about how THEY could have made a classic song better. You sir, win the internet today!

[@ejeq214]

I was thinking “is this guy talking seriously”, and indeed he was.

[@Otown230]

Was about to say how do you fix a flawless solo haha, well played

[@thejesusaurus6573]

I already had my comment prepared: "that was cool but imagine having the balls to say you can improve the beat it solo". You got me good

[@JakeTomphson1]

omg, you got all the guitarists fired up ready to rant 😂

[@shanilarnabofficial6969]

I was this close to rage commenting on this. You got me there! 😂

[@jamestsai7427]

"Not gonna lie...they had us in the first half."

[@betopervel7963]

Lol, you got me, bro!! 😂😂😂

[@murthyadivirk]

i had just cracked my knuckles to talk shit and waited for the video to end. nice save.

[@FAQTheMadness]

Nearly every video you have done is my favorite...Nearly! And at the same time, I realized I was waiting for you to do something BRILLIANTLY cool like you always do...I guess we now have to allow a little comedy!

Almost touched the hate line, but boy what a recovery😂

Cue in the "They had us the first half, not gonna lie" meme. 😂

[@droppinlikefliesBand]

Although that was visually brilliant and clever, after 40 plus years That solo is still one of the greatest in Music history. It says so much about The King EVH.
