excelente trabajo el tuyo...y que animal ritmico era Eddie, por dios!

[@srhatfield]

I gotta say that this was f*ckin amazing! This was easily the best VH medley that I have ever heard or seen, and it just makes me so happy to see you do this. Great job, Tom. I am in awe. Fantastic!

[@colinoneill-hz9cb]

I got a question how to get the tone on best of both worlds

[@dmdavidmiller]

Please forward this too Joe Satriani please.

[@SuperRocktron]

I've had the honor to have met Eddie several times and just watching this person play the guitar looked like Eddie's fingers.... Shaking hands with Eddie was like shaking hands with channel locks they were so strong..... His finger muscles had muscles ..... Miss you buddy and to the person playing guitar to this I'm sure the main man is smiling at you.....

[@jimbailey9830]

Lucky man. I wanted to meet him. Had 2 shows to go to and they canceled them both I was pissed. I wanted to see Eddie play. Insane fast hands. BEST EVER!! Nobody even close to the man. This guys good, is he a studio musician. Or he Joe Satriani. lol

[@mase444]

You're lucky. The thing that sucks is Eddie died before I even got into guitar. Might be going to see WVH in Denver in August tho

[@sixonethreesix4293]

God I miss Eddie so much, these songs will never get old.

[@TE_53349]

i started playing guitar a few years ago and gravitated towards eddies riffs and such, learnt to play them before i can do scales and then i heard of his passing. man, i lost so much motivation to play

[@pjs777s.8]

The song 5150 is such a unique masterpiece!! That’s easily my favorite Van Hagar song. Eddie was a genius gift to the world. RIP Eddie your fans love you.

[@jasonalvarez4069]

I couldn’t agree with you more on this!!

[@noorvanm.p632]

😢 yups.

[@joeyallison4144]

I also love that song. I am one who believes that, although different sounds that the Hagar era was just as good as the Roth era. And Rocked equally as hard just in different tones. VH4LIFE

[@89digits59]

Eddie was one of one, there will never be another, I really miss him, his rhythm sense was out of this world, I wish "Right Now" was also in this medley.

[@TomShreds]

Agreed on all counts. Would have loved Right Now to be in there, but it's too piano heavy. Perhaps next time I'll get someone in to do that bit! Thanks for watching 👍

[@manuelsalas259]

And he demonstrated thar rythm sense when he recorded the solo section of michael jacksons beat it...when he was drunk as hell!!! Edie was the one dude!

The TONE on that 5150 single-pickup guitar is fkng gorgeous. Captures that Eddie mood beautifully.

[@dennisdasilva8292]

Awesome. Ed was a tremendous song writer. He went from the baddest gunslinger in town to a true master of music as he matured.

[@MrOccyc]

I remember in an interview back in the 80s, he said he wanted to be remembered for his songs, not just as a shredder. I would have been the first in line to buy an EVH instrumental album.

[@josearalat]

This was such a pleasure to watch. Eddie was by far the best. And this era of VH was so musically productive. So glad I lived it.

[@T.Novak5312]

That purple wolfie in that lighting is prolly the most gorgeous quilt top I've ever seen. 🤯

[@mr.woodfingers]

I'd just like to say the following!! Congratulations!!! Another 15 : 15 of pure art, history, nostalgia, and above all immortality!! Excellent performance!! Congratulations!!! RIP Eddie!!

[@jtrguitar6294]

The joy he had when playing was the magic. What a gift to mankind Eddie was. Ive thanked God for vanhalen many times, regaurdless of their message but because how amazing that band was. Master melody makers and unmatched musicianship. All of em bad to the bone. And their producers didnt try and over record them and let the magic of the vanhalen bros and Michael Anthony just flow! What a time to have a hifi stereo!

[@chriswalter6793]

Great to see the amazing riffs of the Hagar era that are often overlooked brilliance, as well as doing justice to them in this clip!!! Great playing

[@mindlantern1]

Yes and amen. This guy is fantastic and lives, breaths and eats Van Halen’s sounds

[@ScottRoberts]

Bravo! Excellent job, mate. The tone, the technique, and the research that must've went into doing this...WOW!

[@RVWeekendsRC1]

Sitting here at Walt Disney World’s Epcot, taking a break, having a few drinks, thoroughly enjoying your playing, honoring Van Hagar! What a treat. Your dedication has paid off! I hope your close friends and family enjoy this as much as a stranger does. (I say that because none of my friends and family enjoy my content) Awesome time relaxing and enjoying, peace:)

[@kjs1069]

Guitarist from Melbourne here. Just discovered you brutha. Very cool mate. One thing that really stands out here apart from your obvious technical prowess is the videography, style (blacked out background etc) & editing. Well done man, original, mega quality & ultra effective.

[@TomShreds]

Thanks mate you taking the time to share this! Glad to know that all the effort is so appreciated 😎🎸🤘

[@fedaratkovic6231]

Love Walks In, one of the most beautiful solos ever played and you nailed it!

[@ibenimages]

Brilliant works. 5150 was the album that introduced me to rock music. So hearing these guitar riffs and solos are really *music in my ears* 🤣❤️🙏

[@isologuitar996]

The technique, the tone, the guitars. Just awesome.

[@Slears]

damn..5150 is just the best guitar song ever written

[@AndrewVonGregor]

Each nuance and every detail faithfully reflects not only Ed’s unique vision and abilities, but your exceptional character and passion combined with your extraordinary intellect, tireless work ethic, and extreme talent as well. Brilliant job, Tom! Truly.

[@TomShreds]

That's incredibly kind of you Andrew, thanks for saying that mate. I really appreciate it. I slaved away on this for 7 weeks, and it makes me happy to know folks are still enjoying it 😎🎸🤘

[@jonathanrowan4802]

You killed it, glad some other folks appreciate’s his genius as much as I do. Grew up listening to him remember when 1984 came out and jump was all over MTV. I was glued to the TV I started playing because of him. You are on another playing field though. Great job.

Utterly amazing, Eddie was a true gift to this world, and he lift a mark that will never be achieved by anyone else. You are the closest thing I have ever heard to him, freaking identical. The tone and delivery are spot on. I’d love to be able to play like this…

[@RipVDub]

Tom, appreciate the massive effort putting this comp together. Outstanding outcome!

[@TomShreds]

Cheers ledge 😁

[@BK-uf6qr]

All Hagar era tunes. Never heard a compilation like that. Great tone and playing

[@jefflane7899]

Love this!!! Always preferred DLR, but it never really mattered as long as Eddie was on the guitar!!! A truly incredible talent!! I could have even dealt with Vince Neil singing as long as King Edward was there!!! RIP Eddie!! There will never be another!!!

[@woodfireguitar]

I was holding off on the LIKE button till I saw Finish What Ya Started... I knew you'd do it. And then you hit my two suggestions (from the last vid) back-to-back. I have no idea how you figure these out, but they are a treat!

Wow, love that Wolfgang tone on that Poundcake album.

[@DavidParker-e4o]

Great playing man !!! I love Eddies playing! The first time i heard VH 1 when it first came out( I'm old..i know,i know!!!😂) i thought "this must be an alien,because there is no way that a human being can play that way!) I eventually got to the point where i could play a fairly close approximation of his songs after countless 1000s of hours as a kid practicing...There will never be another one like him....He sent a whole generation of kids running to the music store to try play guitar....He was so cool.....smiling away while blazing through a solo with his cigarette stuck on his headstock....his playing was so unique,no one heard anything like it at the time.....as if that wasnt enough of an accomplishment,he actually built his own guitars! ..and just like his playing,it was uniquely his own creation. This is just my opinion,but i never fell in love with the music that he created with Sammy as much as the Dave stuff.....Sammy is a much better singer,but Daves voice was so unique to their sound,along with his attitude and showmanship....he launched the careers of countless blonde Lady killin'' front men. I always liked Eddies sound better with Dave as well...VH 1 and Fair Warning are as close to perfection as i can imagine....Those albums captured his "brown sound" the most imho... When he got to the Sammy era,his guitar became too "processed" sounding and he got too whammy bar happy....once again, just my opinion.... I remember when we used to await the next VH album to see what kind of cool ,new inventive thing he would come up with on the little solo pieces...and he never disappointed us......Eruption,Spanish Fly,the beginning of Mean Street,Cathedral,Little Guitars,etc......i cant imagine how another guitarist could come along and inspire as well as innovate to the level that King Edward did.....God broke the mold with Eddie!

[@shredvenom]

This is the best and most brilliant Van Hagar tribute medley on KZbin! That's all that needs to be said.

[@Lifewideopen_caleb12]

sammys solo for love walks in live was amazing and so sentimental

[@MasterDownUnder]

No Humans Being or Don't Tell Me What Love Can Do... those are two of the best Van Hagar era songs right here.

[@Chadsbrennan]

Humans being is my favorite Van Hagar song to play. The solo is so cool doesn't get enough credit.

[@ELVH1984]

Humans Being is such a great song, Eddie and Sammy wrote it for Twister

[@Chadsbrennan]

@@ELVH1984 and funny enough they never preformed it together live. Sammy was already gone before the tour

[@oscaroliva5736]

Long live the king EVH, very fortunate to see them Several times first time 1980 invasion feels like yesterday 43 years later

Fantastic job!!….a lot of people poo poo the Van Hagar stuff but they’ve obviously never sat down and tried to work out “sucker in a 3 piece” or “AFU”…etc….Eddie did some incredible work on these albums….well done Tom👍

[@TomShreds]

Cheers legend! I agree. I actually used to be one of them. I felt like the Van Hagar stuff was left overs or that mediocre sequel no-one watched. But now I realise it's all incredible. 5150 got me in the door, and then Carnal, then the other 2 grabbed me as well. I do agree Dave had something Sam didn't, but I'd suggest the opposite is also true. I'm just grateful we have so much great Van Halen music to enjoy for the rest of our days.

[@michaelthompson3286]

[@richwebber9809]

Thank you. You made that look so easy.

[@DavidRodriguez-ol7mv]

This is beautiful. I love the evolution of EVH. All of his versions were great. This version of VH had such a wonderful distinct tone and approach. It could be really chimey and then flip the switch and be as dirty as dirty gets. I know creation of his Peavey 5150 amp and then the new guitar design played into his sound. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us all!

[@RKDriver]

Very nice. Loved that you included the song 5150 and a very underrated EVH solo in Mine all Mine.

Great job on this whole video. I like how you included Feels So Good and Can't Stop Loving You. I've always felt that those are two of his more underrated solos.

[@djay6651]

As a guitarist myself, I can admit the DLR and Sammy era bands are quite different, but each put out great music reflective of where they were as musicians and artists. As far as the tones, they all sound tops. Amp/effects modeling makes building and experimenting with effects chains so much easier and economical than it was back in the day.
