Reaction | Eddie Van Halen's BEST Guitar SOLO | Eruption Live Without A Net

[@ThePloppy]

I saw this tour live in '86 in Rockford, Illinois. It was my first rock concert. I've been to a couple hundred since then but this one was my favorite. Witnessing Eddie at his peak while I was deep into learning guitar (I was around 14 at the time, but had been playing since I was nine), it was mind-blowing to me! And seeing so many younger people react to this solo and saying, "I wish I could have been there!" Yeah, it was something special. Once in a life time type of thing.

Before I showed my daughter this I told here, "No matter how cool Eddie makes it look, smoking is bad for you!😆

[@wally-001]

Yes, there is interviews where they talk about this. And Eddie has sat on more than one occasion that he was so drunk. He doesn’t even remember playing that solo. You just watched

[@chrisvest9155]

Saw Van Halen on their ou812 tour. Eddie was unbelievable. He was a genuine vertuoso

[@robertutes4850]

you need to watch Eddies Smithsonian Interview... Eruption started out as a warm-up exercise he would do before a show - then they decided to put a 3 minute version on their debut album in '78 - every concert had an "Eruption" intermission, and they were all different and, as Eddie invented more techniques the more Eruption changed, I saw them in '82 & '84 - both incredible shows with incredible energy...wish you hadn't cut this short - on the half you played, he didn't miss a note, even when the pic split and he threw it... RIP

[@gordonjohnson203]

Dude play the whole thing lol Why would you only play half of it?

Tis criminal

Did you guys walk into a roll of electrical tape? 😂 Just messing with you. I couldn't resist. I'm guessing it's a tribal thing. Anyways. I wish you would have watched the whole video and reacted to it. Telling everyone to go check it out elsewhere when this is the reason we're here to watch it with you. I'll check out another of your reactions and see if it's better. Take care and best of luck with your channel.

[@rondaddio4004]

Eddie was a guitar mozart! Great reaction you guys

[@mikerogers5264]

Not true there were some doing taping before eddie! Eddie just mastered it and took it to another level! RIP KING EDWARD 👑

[@Khaos_HaSatan]

Eddie Van Halen, himself, stated in an interview: "I have no recollection of being in New Haven, let alone the show." He was basically black out drunk when he did that solo. And honestly that was not uncommon for the Van Halen brothers, they were notorious boozers.

[@cindya9572]

It's a shame it was cut short. I have a good attention span when it comes to a talent like Eddie Van Halen. RIP

[@kevinmarshall854]

The KING EDWARD VAN HALEN!! THE GOD OF THE GUITAR!! You should react to the VAN HALEN with SAMMY HAGAR and their song "POUNDCAKE". Another EDDIE first!!!

[@cameronkelly8081]

Just started watching. I like your bit on Hendrix at Woodstock. If you want to check out another Rockn Roll great at Woodstock? Check out Alvin Lee & Ten Years After- I’m going home. All I can say is amazing!🤙🤟

[@stanpiers247]

I enjoyed the comments about this video. This video always put a smile on my face. Eddie Van Halen was one of the cleanest guitar players I have ever heard. He was of Dutch and Indonesian heritage. When his family came to America Alex and Eddie could not speak English and were picked on in school by white kids so most of their friends were black. Eddie Van Halen put in many hours during his life to make his guitar playing something very special and Alex did the same with the drums. There is a video on youtube with Jan Van Halen Eddie and Alex's father. They came from a musical family and put many hours in the hone their craft. Amazing Van Halens !!!!

[@jimmyjennings4089]

So I'm guessing you guys are not the white stripes but the Blackin's?

[@roth2112]

Huh what wrapped around your faces? I couldn’t with the vid. But god bless you guys 😂

What the heck is up with the black line lol

[@Woodwerker]

Does that electrical tape on your faces hurt when you remove it?? Curious - what does that electrical tape represent?

[@gozaband]

It’s paint and it has no significant meaning other than representing our music 🤘🏼

[@Woodwerker]

@@gozaband 🤔 ok

[@gozaband]

Don’t think too much into it, it’s just rock n roll!

[@egorock1632]

Back in the late 60’s I wore a painted flower on my face ~ give these kids a break. ✌🏽

[@nightfall902]

Rappers have done better reactions than this. Complete waste of time...thanks.

[@gozaband]

You’re welcome!

[@johnduval6377]

How could you walk out half way through a solo by the Great Edward Van Halen?

[@gozaband]

I’m sorry!!! 😣

[@johnduval6377]

@@gozaband don't be sorry its just a shame you didn't get the whole solo

[@herbcanter2114]

That wasn't Edwards best guitar solo , not even close .

[@gozaband]

Suggest us one!!

[@Trace7173]

The stripes on his guitar match the stripe on your faces..

[@jasonyoung7958]

My mom says that jimi Hendrix is a better player than Eddie. I'm like naw Eddie can make the guitar do things that jimi could only wish and dream about doing

[@gozaband]

They are both very important elements to rock guitar!! You’re moms not wrong but she isn’t right either lol!

[@jasonyoung7958]

@@gozaband true. My favorite guitar player is slash. And then in the heavier metal I love Dimebag Darrell

[@gozaband]

Dimebag was a huge influence on me growing up! And slash is just pure rock n roll m, love em both

What in the name of cringe reactions did I just watch? Who are these aliens and why are they pretending to understand music?

[@jackteppo9633]

Never viewing you again

[@russellw7785]

This sucks. If you aren't doing it all, why do it?

[@joea9257]

Loved it.. but sound isn’t great.

[@joek468]

Nice... Equal time for drummers. You should check out Rush drummer Neil Peart Live in Frankfurt drum solo. Sure you will be AMAZED.

[@DarrellFanning-bx7xz]

Try to watch your reactions but the ridiculously gimmicky thing with the,stripe across your faces is too distracting. Someone asked if its a tribal thing, well its not .

[@gozaband]

Thank you for the comment it helps push out our videos 😊

[@russellw7785]

There's something on your face. Soap will fix that. And listen to the music. All of it 🙄.. This was a waste of time. Y'all won't make it

[@gozaband]

Thank you for the kind words!!
