Everyone gives praise to Eddie and rightfully so. His brother Alex is a monster on the drums and Sammy Hagar is a lion roaring . But the guy who hits the high notes in the harmonies in majority of VH songs is bassist extraordinare Michael Anthony. He is crucial to their sound.

[@brheinfeldt]

Eddie wan Halen was God on Strings. Like, literally. And yeah, tapping was his method. He could do whatever he wanted with his guitar. Such a virtuoso. I cried a lot when he passed in 2020.

[@dv3507]

Fun fact: "Eddie Van Halen did the guitar solo for Michael Jackson's "Beat It" and was paid in beer." 😎🎸🍺

[@spectreharlequin]

I hope they see this...this is always a really fun story.

[@valogden]

I copied this from an interview Eddie gave to CNN. Van Halen, who died Tuesday at age 65, needed less than an hour in the studio and 20 scorching seconds on record to join white heavy metal to Black pop at a time when they seemed in entirely different worlds, when the young MTV channel rarely aired videos by Black artists. “Beat It” became one of the signature tracks on Jackson’s mega-selling “Thriller” album, won Grammys in 1984 for record of the year and male rock vocal performance and helped open up MTV’s programming. Van Halen himself would admit he was initially skeptical of contributing to Jackson’s album, wondering how much he had in common with a singer he remembered for chanting “A-B-C, easy as 1-2-3.” But Jackson had written “Beat It” as a rock song, anchored by a hard and funky ruff by guitarist Steve Lukather. When Van Halen arrived at the studio in Los Angeles, Jones told him he could improvise. Van Halen listened to “Beat It,” asked if he could rearrange the song and added a pair of solos during which, engineers would long swear, a speaker caught on fire. As he was finishing, Jackson walked in. “I didn’t know how he would react to what I was doing. So I warned him before he listened. I said, ‘Look, I changed the middle section of your song,’” Van Halen told CNN. “Now in my mind, he’s either going to have his bodyguards kick me out for butchering his song, or he’s going to like it. And so he gave it a listen, and he turned to me and went, ‘Wow, thank you so much for having the passion to not just come in and blaze a solo, but to actually care about the song, and make it better.’” Van Halen worked for free, was not credited on the album and didn’t appear in the video. But his touch was undisguisable. After the record’s release, Van Halen would remember shopping in a Tower Records while “Beat It” was playing on the sound system. “The solo comes on, and I hear these kids in front of me going, ‘Listen to this guy trying to sound like Eddie Van Halen,’” he said. “I tapped him on the shoulder and said, ‘That IS me!’ That was hilarious.” www.cnn.com/2012/11/30/showbiz/music/van-halen-jackson-thriller/index.html

[@dv3507]

Yeah, I saw the same. Interesting: "He was the musician playing the lead guitar solo on Michael's famous song Beat It. During an interview with CNN, Eddie opened up about playing the lead guitar solo on the famous Michael Jackson song. He revealed that he didn't get credited on the record, and remembered being paid with 'two six packs of beer'."

[@godsspeedify]

I remember seeing the interview when Eddie Van Halen's manager was so pissed.. that could have been residual income for Eddie for the rest of his life.. Don't be an idiot and do something for free when the person is Michael Jackson. Eddie got no credit for doing it and no residual income.. just Beer. Lol!!!!🤡. Still love you Eddie..

[@dv3507]

@@Studamatoyes, I believe the beer was offered while he was recording and Eddie joked about it as payment - not in the literal contractual context. Fun story, though.

I understand what you’re trying to say but while I do believe Eddie was the greatest guitar player….it’s not because he can’t be copied….there’s plenty of ppl that can do a Van Halen song justice…for me though it’s that Eddie did it first.

[@darrinward4699]

There are harmonic freq all up and down the fret board of the guitar . He is tapping those areas to get the sound of those harmonics . Edward taught us a lot about guitar.

Tap harmonics. If you hold a note on say the fifth fret you can get some cool harmonics 4, 5 and 7 frets up by tapping quickly and firmly. Eddie's tricks needed new tab notations.

[@R_SENAL]

Eddie Van Halen is the guitar player, his brother is Alex Van Halen on drums. What Eddie is doing is a two-hand tap guitar technique that he Invented and Everybody was quick to copy. He is arguably a Guitar Legend or God tier. He is god tier in innovation but in playing maybe just Legendary. Steve Vai, Nunu Bettencourt, Joe Satriani or Yngwei Malmsteen is who you should look for if you want full on Guitar Gods, GOATs.

Dude innovation is why that whole list of guitarist you named are not on my radar. They do play well I will say that. But Eddie took it to a whole other level. You know that. To put them above him in any category is just not legit. He is #1 period. Eddie plays rhythm mixed in with his lead. He carries the rhythm section of the band. Alex Van Halen talks about how weird it is for the drummer to follow the lead guitarist instead of the bass player.

EDIT: Since the old VH songs were mostly under 4min (as management wanted) do at least Eruption/Girl you really got me now(about 5min or so total) back to back from the studio version. Do a seperate video for one of Eruptions live versions. Don't let my name(VHs 1st singer) make my comment sound bias. LOVE SAMMY HAGAR the singer for the 2nd installment of VH often refered to as Van Hagar. Sammy was an Awesome solo artist before getting this gig. He helped keep my fave band relevant which kept me happy. Dave was from the Jump video. Sammy did slide in when VH became true household names with their 6th and final album 1984 with David Lee Roth which the song Jump came from. This might be my fave from the "Van Hagar" era. They had some good ones. I still prefer the gritty sounds from the albums with David Lee Roth, so try Aint Talkin Bout Love, Panama, Hot for teacher, Unchained, Everybody wants some and Mean Street to name some. My take? Dave era is the best hence my user name as I just love the sound more. They were great with Hagar, but more pop rock at times. Dave era=10+ Sammy era=9.9

They created a new way to read music called tablature because Eddie was always moving his hand up and down the fretboard tapping the frets while holding notes with his other hand.

Not true. Tablature has existed for hundreds of years, originating in the 1300s for lute.

[@teverly5150]

@@kitoyobeni1 Although he does seem to suggest that tablature itself was invented because of some of his techniques, I think what he probably meant (and probably a more accurate statement) is that some of the notation in the system of guitar tablature had to be created in order to transcribe what he was doing. Right hand tapping, for example, may not have been commonly notated prior to the late 70s/early 80s and the notation may well have been developed specifically for the purpose of transcribing VH music.

Double tapping is a series of "Hammer on's" and "Hammer Offs " on the guitar strings. You press and push the string simultaneously to give a little picking action when you release. It helps to have the amp cranked. Their first singer was Dave lee Roth from 77-85. Sammy Hagar stepped in to replace him, giving the band the nickname "Van Hagar" Eddie Van Halen is the guitar player, one of the best ever, and his brother Alex is on the drums.

Anything off of the 1st album with DLR...maybe atomic punk, Jamie's crying, or show your love. Another good one with Sammy Hagar is Finish What you started. Eddie is the best! Tks guys/gals

[@RayfordRaySiegel]

The debut album is my favorite. Also "On Fire" is one to check out. Just check out the whole album. It's all great. It's one of those albums that you can't miss on, and you should listen all the way through.

[@Kim-hc5si]

Let the Van Halen vs Van Hagar banter begin. 😁

[@princeofpcos9804]

DLR....Sammy... either way, it wouldn't have worked without the band

[@sean_b_drummer]

I love them both! But then, I'm more focused on, Alex. 🥁🥁

[@Kim-hc5si]

@@princeofpcos9804 Word. The one constant was the band and, of course, Eddie. Still can’t believe he’s gone. ❤️

[@giarogers]

Kim, I am voting for Van Halen - DLR was my man !! Iconic showman !

[@benshafer65]

Saw them in '79 for the debut album tour and then in '86 with Hagar. The DLR version had that raw street energy, while Van Hagar was more commercial pop. Gotta go with the former without a doubt

[@meri-jobird7266]

Can't stop loving you is a great song by this band. I love me some Van Halen!

[@walterfleury3840]

Saw them do this live. INCREDIBLE!

[@truckerstoriesbysteven6629]

Eddie Van Halen was considered the greatest guitarist in the world for many years....still is in my eyes. R.I.P. Eddie

[@midnightryder3330]

cool, next try eddie van halen "eruption " from live without a net,13 min of eddie shredding

[@denroy3]

Boring

[@tilemonkee5510]

Yup! The 90's were a big fuckin party! All I can remember is waking up with a smile,over and over! XD

[@robbiemillar704]

I was a teenager when these guys came out in 77 and I was always listen to Led Zeppelin and all that other stuff but the 80s were crazy for music and watching your reactions is awesome all the music I grew up with that you're listening to apparently for the first time makes me realize I lived in a very good time. I'm going to go make somebody smile now😁

[@jonathonfrazier6622]

Have you done " Aint talkin bout love" yet?

[@R.POWELL]

Good pick !!

[@deebrown4877]

Another of my favorite bands of all time!! RIP, E.V.H.

[@archiegeorge7264]

Another fun Van Halen vid, everybody wants some

[@SG-js2qn]

You should probably also be suspicious of songs with titles like "Cherry Pie." In fact, just be suspicious of all sweets and desserts.

[@Sportsref13]

As Teachers, yall need to react to Billy Joel "We didn't start the Fire" .. It's a Great 5 minute World History Lesson.. As many others have posted.. If you want to see a Guitar God in action... there is only 1 word... "ERUPTION" .!!!!!

[@jennifermorris6848]

I actually used we didn’t start the fire for a middle school team research project. Each student got a line to research and developed a poster. It was a fabulous show for parent teacher night.

[@orvillespencer1011]

Tired or not, mom still looks beautiful. Hope baby is doing good also. Y'all are great. Love you guys

[@denisepierce969]

Omg seen them do this song the concert was great and yes Eddie Van Halen could do anything with the guitar love you both and keep on Rockin 🤘

[@myname5918]

Kind of a surprising choice for a first VH song.

[@robindavisduckworth8992]

Im not a huge fan of VH after Roth Left. I didnt like Sammy Hagger as Sammy Hagger let alone replacing ROTH. That being said, EDDIE WAS STILL A GUITAR GOD.

[@RayfordRaySiegel]

Imagining a Rock song about food is hilarious. Eddie Van Halen is the guitarist. Sammy Hagar is the lead singer, in this era if Van Halen. David Lee Roth is the original lead singer. He was in the band, again, before it was no longer was able to be. Fingertapping is a technique that Eddie is well known for. Check out "Eruption", for the ultimate showcasing of that technique. May Eddie rest in peace. Y'all should definitely check out more Van Halen, along with songs from Dave and Sammy, in their solo careers.

[@rileyandmike]

It would have to be sung by Meatloaf 😎

[@RayfordRaySiegel]

@@rileyandmike, ...or Cake, or The Platters

[@georgekoebel3629]

Love your reaction to Van Halen there will be no other band like them jay and amber are great love the shirt amber got that one too

[@Renkk17]

David Lee Roth was the Singer in "Jump" with the band from the beginning....when they broke up for a while, Sammy Hagar sang and he was the one in this video....then after some time they broke up and went back to David Lee Roth! Eddy Van Halen plays the guitar, him and his brother the drummer started the band.....You should check out Eddie Van Halen playing in the "Eruption" video!!

[@jeffk2679]

If Eddie couldn’t get the sound he wanted out of a guitar, he built one that would. I agree with everyone else, listen to the LIVE version of Eruption.

[@chriso6719]

Eddie was a guitar god. RIP legend!

[@19BEC74]

This album came out right before the grunge era hit and we didn't hear from Van Halen since, which is sad because this band was amazing!

[@billseivers3528]

It's fantastic to see a new generation of people discovering this music 30 years after I was rocking out to them as a younger man.

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

I like Sammy Hagar's voice far better than I liked David Lee Roth's voice.

[@mariadooling7390]

I agree I like Sammy Hagar much better than David Lee Roth

[@erikthompson619]

Agreed, and, I also think David's first solo album "Eat'em and smile" (featuring Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan) is way better than anything he did with Van Halen. Win-win!

[@efakter1]

Rob, you’re ready to watch Eddie Van Halen’s “Eruption” solo “Live without a net”. 13 minutes of epic Eddie. You aint seen nothing yet

[@robertburns4429]

One of my favorites of theirs.

[@youravgjoe42]

Thanks for the excellent reaction. If you haven’t reacted to it yet, the absolute must clip to review is Eddie’s Eruption Guitar solo live without a net, widely considered the greatest live rock guitar solo of all time. You just don’t understand what a guitar can do until you’ve seen and heard it. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmrVXoGuqr6msMk Eddie is amongst the greatest guitar players to have ever lived. His brother Alex is on the drums. Michael Anthony played bass until he was replaced in the mid 2000s by Eddie’s son Wolfgang. This song was from 1990, so Sammy Hagar performed the vocals. Their prior singer David Lee Roth was replaced by him in 1985. Some people are loyal to one over the other. I love them both. Also great energy and I approve of the nap plan.

[@damiangardiner147]

What you’ve got here is 4 musicians who are ALL arguably the best at their instruments of their generation. Alex Van Halen. Drums Michael Anthony. Bass Sammy “The Red Rocker” Hagar. Vocals (& Guitar) Eddie Van Halen. Guitar. R.I.P. Sammy is One of Rocks best vocalists and Frontman ever (IMO) but Eddie is without argument the most important guitarist since Hendrix and has invented more new ways of playing guitar (such as Tapping) than most guitarists can even learn. If this impressed you you have to check out the track Eruption (which is actually a guitar solo)

[@williamjamesayers7719]

One hell of a BANGING song!!!! RIP Eddie.

[@JeffOnTheRoads]

Love this review of one of the best rock songs ever made.
