My Tribute To Eddie Van Halen

[@firemanmick]

Holy Crap! That would be the closest I've heard anyone getting to Eddie's tone and feel - awesome, well done!

[@BPoweredLove]

Agreed. Ed himself would have been very proud for sure.

[@bweeks8869]

Check out Jim Gaustad

[@mugendrewable]

You have got to listen to his cover of I'm the one...

[@samiam7342]

that is SPOT ON.........it is scary how exact it sounds........if I was not watching this video, I would think it is the isolated studio track..good job!

[@pcbw75]

Best Edward tribute ever period! Thanks for sharing your gift

[@rodrigoortega8486]

Oh shit, that last "unfinished" lick hitted right in my spirit so bad, I'm fully in tears, we will never recover from this.

[@nathanpickett202]

Me too! Gave me goose bumps

[@oliviertroupin4512]

Magistral Rocco.....thanks for this tribute, big fan of your play, your feeling, your tones as I said in a comment of your video about the 80's clean, I'm quite new with the AXE FX 3 and your tones are a reference and make me play more. Thanks also for that, take care, stay safe, greetings from Belgium, Olivier.

[@dougchampion8084]

This is easily one of the best EVH tributes EVER. Your tone and playing are incredible!!

[@wizaxed]

Been waiting for this video...and we get 18 minutes of goodness. Thanks Rocco! Killer as always.

[@RoccoPezzin]

Thank you so much man 🙏

[@paulgiggs99]

Your playing on 'I'm the One' in particular is spot fucking on! Got that bounce/shuffle down to a tee!

[@JohnBynum-h5q]

Miss your videos, Rocco! Really enjoyed them through the years. Have always hoped I'd discover you made your way into a super popular, successful band-thrilling fans and touring the world. So far, someone has missed out big-time! Hope you're doing well.

[@t.sewell1513]

It’s strange in a way. I feel like I lost a loved one who I never met. 😞 RIP Eddie. Nice playing man! Thank you.

[@michaellnbnj]

I've watched about 50 guitar player's tributes to King Edward since he passed. I enjoyed yours the most thus far! You got a great feel for Ed's style. And you petty much nailed his sound. That was fun to watch!

[@SomeDuder1984]

Best compilation, playing and tone on KZbin for EVH's passing. Rocco continues to churn out top notch material. Thank you Rocco for the upload, and thank you EVH for a lifetime of riffs and tones to chase. All we need now is for Rocco and Valentino to do these same songs with backing tracks!

[@scottdouglas4212]

Amazing job. Long live the king. R.I.P. Edward. Truly miss you.

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

Damn this is so badass. Best AxeFx tone I've ever heard!! Awesome job!

[@davidwinston1627]

Nobody is going to nail every lick 100% but Rocco does a great job covering Eddie's career in one video.

[@nathanpickett202]

Thank you for taking me back! I can’t believe he’s gone. You sir are a bad ass!

[@VOLKER-ge4tk]

loved it! Eddie was a real Riff Monster. All the lovely small details in his playing. So many notes to discover. Wonderful job Rocco!

[@CreativeSpiral]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn! This is epic, Rocco! Great patch design and incredible playing.

[@deanclark8393]

That is one hands down the best recreation of Eddie's tone I've ever heard. Absolutely spectacular as always rocco. RIP EVH

[@deans.4705]

always a pleasure to watch you play Rocco. All the best to you.

[@skelapop]

Unbelievable Rocco....fantastic playing that would do EVH proud!!🎸🎸🎸

[@bradwilson6103]

makes me want to get a fractal 3

[@stratplayer96]

You nailed EVERYTHING. Outstanding! RIP EVH.

[@kentmills6065]

Thanks for sharing, brother, and nice playing. Unbelievable how many killer riffs the man wrote. We're all richer for the music he gave us.

[@scottwaszak698]

You really nailed the tone! And playing!

[@cherigem]

Dude you so rock seen you in collaboration's had to come check out your channel!! This is one Sick ass trubite! Eddie would of loved this. I would love to save it so I can listen all the time. Blew me away. All these great tunes all wrapped up in one. TALENT SKILLZ are just Top👍💜🎼🎸🔥🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🤘keep rockn n stay safe happy holidays🤘 new sub here🙌

[@500erider]

Amazing, man....Thanks. Just thankful we were alive in the era that produced Eddie Van Halen. How blessed are we !!!!!!!!! He will be forever missed, but he left us his heart and soul through his music, which will live on. R.I.P. Eddie.......

[@wyzyguy726]

How bad ass is this... Makes me smile... I have watched it ten times... Thanks again for the preset... Best one I have heard.

[@bertimos76]

You’re always on fire 🔥 Great playing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@caledomoable]

Very impressive, you nailed it! That's fantastic!

[@genXer3]

Thankyou for doing the stuff from the Sammy years! And for doing an extended time on Black and Blue my 2nd fav of that CD.

[@Bark3rd]

The agression on the strings is so often missed, you get it. Well done.

[@peterpichlermba8098]

Out of all covers and tributes I listened to, you are the closest to get the shuffle on "I'm the one" right :)

[@RoccoPezzin]

Thanks Peter! Truth is, no one does it like Eddie ;)

[@srdjanbosnjak7413]

Agreed 100%.We know no one swings like Eddie, but.......One thing is for sure-Eddie would be proud.

[@heyjarrod]

Awesome! But I must have missed it. I’m running around and kind of just skipped through it. I’ll have to listen again later for sure. Sounds really good, great tone! What time does I’m the one come in? I’ll have to give that song a try sometime. It’s on my list! 😎👍🏻🎸

[@BPoweredLove]

Definitely. I agree with everyone in this thread! Amazing. Parra: 1:56

[@lundhamselv]

Great tones and playing as in all your videos Rocco. Why anybody would give this thumbs down is amazing - christ........ Cheers Søren

[@joeyramos5]

Thanks for the simply amazing tribute! Nonetheless and By FAR Rocco, the absolute best tone match to EVH on KZbin - you always deliver the goods!! Looking forward to downloading the patches - just got my AXE 3 and can’t wait!!!!

[@FROGAmps]

Manic attention to details and stunning playing as usual! 🔝🔝🔝

[@RoccoPezzin]

Thanks Nick!🙏

[@swigswiggy]

Now I am blown away! To play that song at that tempo and the feeling and heart and soul that was in that was amazing!!! Bravo

[@showtime951]

A sonic masterpiece. Your feel, pace, pausing, breath, rhythm, tone, and time is impeccable! This doesn't feel like an impression or impersonation, or even an incredibly gifted, studied and heartfelt homage. It makes me feel different, if only for moments whole again. The unrelenting soul and uniquely individual voice screaming from my speakers is hauntingly familiar. Since 10/6 I've listened to almost no Van Halen. Very unlikely for someone who has consumed it like sunlight or oxygen since 1978. Through every day, drive, every friend, every relative, every pet, every hobby, sport, every school, job, home, relationship, success, and failure. I haven't been able to play VH, it hurt too much. In the last 5 months I've lost several of my best friends. A couple of friendships over 40 years, then add my grandfather, my father-in-law (21+ yrs. married), and 3 weeks before EVH, my Pasadena, CA born and raised mother. Ed's passing really sent me over the top mentally, his genius always helped me get through the rough times and exclaim the great times. Thank you very much for this video and your effort. I hope to use it as a springboard to get past my anger, depression, and incredible sense of loss.

[@RoccoPezzin]

Really appreciate the kind words man, I'm truly sorry for your losses and I'm glad this video could help in some way...Eddie gifted us an impressive amount of amazing songs, his work will live forever and in some way, it feels like he's still here. We should celebrate his genius and all the amazing music he left us. He was one of a kind.

[@TonyFuentesTV]

LOVE IT! Amazing tribute; ROCCO! Players like yourself are few and rare. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😉❤️

[@RoccoPezzin]

Means a lot Tony, thanks dude!

[@Priyadarshan_Nag]

Superb tribute brother! 👊🏻 Mighty playing in remembrance of the mighty king.

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

Your written introduction said it all. So many riffs but more importantly the sound, his rhythm playing was impeccable. Thank you for this show of respect. You can do what I can't & for that, I'm grateful as EVH touched all of us guitar players of all levels.

[@RoccoPezzin]

Thank you Gabriel🙏

[@Wmiranda2012]

Nice sound and playing!! Long live King Eddie

[@jamesavdelis6610]

Thanks Rocco!!! Very well done!!!👍👍🤟😭😭RIP EVH ✌🤟🤟

[@701Builder]

Beautiful,loved it. Best tribute to Eddie yet!

[@jeffreyschmoldt7798]

You play well, Eddie would like it. This is a great thing to do for King Edward, if not for him many of use wouldn't have picked up the Axe. You did this with style and that special grace Eddie had..

[@luigidambra2523]

Rocco, vedo questo video solo oggi. È una enciclopedia dei riff del nostro compianto EVH. Straordinaria, grazie. L'anno scorso ho pianto. Bravissimo!

[@RoccoPezzin]

Grazie mille Luigi!🙏🙏

Thanks dude! The patch is in the video description!

[@kenscorner5226]

This is wonderful and true to Eddie sounds Fantastic and keep it up!!,,,,

[@PlayFloyd_IN]

Eddie was one of my favorite guitarists alongside Steve Lukather, Andy Timmons, Gary Moore, Kee Marcello, Michael Schenker, Jeff Beck and a few others. When I got the news of his passing away, it came to me as a shock as I thought he was recovering from his health issues and the sinking feeling was similar to how I felt when Gary Moore passed away. Such an awesome legacy he has left! Great work Rocco!

[@juanpablomarin5463]

Our greatest innovator Eddie Van Halen!!!The most influential and revolutionary ever!! Congrats for your incredible tribute !!

[@mcdarioful]

Amazing tribute great sound

[@TaylorCobb]

Stunning work, and you really did an excellent job capturing Eddie's nuance and sound - way to go! New fan here, and I'll be looking forward to your upcoming videos!

[@BradleyLivestreams]

NAILED his tones! Well done! I also recently posted my live performance of "Somebody Get Me A Doctor" using the Neural DSP Archetype Plini VST which I'm proud of but your tone is spot-on. :)

[@Blissfullyjae]

You've got a BEAST of a processor there! Congratulations with this tribute!

[@mr.prower]

That Eruption is one of the best version I've ever heard ! Close to the original !!

[@josepharagon108]

Yes you are the so spot on with Eddie! Sound and tone!

EXACTLY what I needed right here right now! That’s the best tribute so sat in my personal opinion on the internet! RIP EVH🎸🖤🙏🏻

[@PaulRhodes420]

I was into about 10 seconds in and thought, "Holy Shit!" Damn you're great! If I could play half as good I'd play all day everyday! Keep on playing bro!

[@scarem84604]

This is so great! I have been watching so many tributes and I was hoping you would do one. Thanks for honoring him with your great playing, Rocco! RIP EVH!
