Van Halen 2015 Kimmel (Hot for Teacher - Eruption - Really Got Me Now)

Yeah. He looked really good during this time, and happy. I was glad that he had gotten over the rough times he experienced in the 2000s. There is not one person- no one- who has had a greater influence on me musically or in my love and enjoyment of music than Edward Van Halen. Not ashamed to admit that, as a 46-year-old man when he died, I shed a tear.

[@richardlecco636]

Steve Vai said it best when he was interviewed by Eddie Trunk right after EVH's death...he had his own personal list of who the best rock guitarists in the world were, and why he ranked them where he did. He only put two players on what he called his "what the f*** was THAT???" list: EVH and Jimi Hendrix. That's it. That's the list. Nobody else even came close as far as he was concerned.

[@dannymiles6503]

[@aaw925]

While screwing over a far better bass player/outstanding backup vocalist for no legitimate reason to do so, it was all for his selfishness. If he’s gonna do that and still use the band name (even if it’s his last name), I hope Michael Anthony was getting a cut of every penny they made with 16 year old Wolfgang in there

[@DeadKennedys-eo1oo]

The smile on Eddies face at the start of You really got never fails to bring a tear to my eye. shows how much he loved to play and entertain his fans. R.I.P

[@LikeMindedLunatics]

What brings a tear to my eye are the number of times he smiles that big old Eddie smile not because of the fans or the music, but because he's looking over at Wolf. In those little moments, he's not EVH THE GUITAR GOD!!! He's just Ed, Wolfgang's pop. It also looks like a couple of times he tries to walk over to Wolf and play beside him but his cord isn't long enough. In "Eruption: Conversations With Eddie Van Halen," he says the greatest joy in his life used to be playing with his dad and Alex, but that playing with Alex and Wolf was even more special to him.

I love your enthusiasm but he was not quite at this level. He uppped the bar to a place it really can't be touched, and it seems so effortless and fun. I think he could shred Satch under the table after a night out.

[@saxenas]

Comparing Ed to the best musicians throughout history would make more sense to a lot of people cuz it's more of an apples to apples comparison then. He's considered the modern day Mozart and i agree. Songs like intro to women in love, dance the night away, intro to pleasure dome, and 316 really showcase Ed's whimsical side which I believe can be compared to some of Mozart's pieces which were also whimsical in nature. Those songs from Ed that I just mentioned were beautiful and perfect; very melodic. Then of course you have solos like eruption and spanish fly which provide listeners with that other worldly in your face "WOW" reaction. And that's just the beginning of Ed's music. Ed was a genius of the modern era.

That is what greatness on the guitar looks like. The peak of playing potential. It still sounds raw and unpolished with that hint of human being. That makes it special. I can't watch it without a tear in my eye. He will be missed for all time.

[@Loathello]

Why is this so tight, so groovy, so chaotic, and so moving? Not just a lifetime of practice. It's because Eddie, Alex, and Wolfgang are blood relatives, and because Eddie, Alex, and Dave enjoy performing these tunes just as much as they did in the early days.There has never been any band like them, and there never will be. Also - a shout out to Dave. 46 years (holy shit!) since Van Halen I. He still has that energy, and his humor and improv have only improved in 4+ decades. I love Sammy, but Dave was the right man for this job.

[@beefcheeks9353]

Since it was Jimmy Kimmel, they may have been instructed NOT to clap. That is how the late night shows are. I got to see David Letterman in the 80's and they were very strict about when to applaud and when to be silent. I shouted "Yeah Dave" just as everyone got quiet (not on purpose) and got kicked off the set. I would guess they are as controlling or worse 35 years later. 🙁

The Undisputed heavyweight champion of the guitar Mr. Eddie Van Halen still cannot believe he's gone I've been a Van Halen fan for 40 years my favorite number one group of all time

[@The_No_Victim_Zone]

When they put the band back together in the mid-aughts, I honestly think Eddie knew, somewhere deep inside that his time on earth was limited. That is why it was so important to him that he brought Wolfie into the band; he loved that guy more than anything in the world. And it was so important for both of them to be able to spend as much time together as they could AND make music together. I was originally a little bummed when Michael Anthony wasn’t asked back to reunite the OG Van Halen, but I couldn’t be happier for the way things played out. Oh, and Wolfgang didn’t miss a freaking a beat on the bass. His backing vocals were on point too. Life has a funny way of working things out the way they were meant to be. Case in point right here. RIP Eddie!

[@LikeMindedLunatics]

If you haven't read it, you really need to read "Eruptions: Conversations with Eddie Van Halen." You're pretty much spot on. I don't know that Eddie knew he was dying at this point, and in fact, I think up until the last few months he probably thought he would make it through. But there was a palpable sense with him that he was done with addiction and all drama, and that the greatest joy in his life was playing music with Alex and Wolf. He mentions a number of times in the book that as a kid, his favorite moments were playing music with Alex and his dad. But around this time in his life, he said playing with Alex and Wolf was even better. He loved that kid so much. Now I'm gonna go watch WVH "Distance" and cry for four hours.

They were great, but not the same anymore. Saw them from a few feet away about four times. The rest, I wasn't so close. I'm a guitarist. Eddie holds the pick wrong...supposedly, lol. He used a thin pick, and he tossed many of them out into the crowd. He literally put one directly into my friend's hand in 1980. Bent right over, and made sure he put it right in the palm of his hand. Anyway, I play. I figured I'd be much better equipped to learn their songs, if I was standing right there watching exactly how he did it. Yeah, great. I knew HOW he did it. I just couldn't do it myself, lol! Best hard rock guitarist I ever saw, hands down. I saw some greats. Next on my list is probably Randy Rhoads.

I was at church before we played and me and the bassist (who is my teacher) were talking about when he taught me Panama and the piano women (who was originally from California) added that she saw Van Halen before they were big and said they sucked since everyone was showboating. Crazy to think the once 20 year old grandma who leads our church worship saw this pinnacle of rock before they were successful.

[@rogerhartman907]

After Bonham died there was Van Halen picking up the ball and running with it until 1985. Nothing they did was ever considered bad in my opinion. Van Hagar was a complete success. But they lost something along the way. I'm glad to see they found the joy of playing again.

[@Loathello]

OK, one more comment. A lot of people here are talking about the dead crowd just standing there with their cellphones. I have a different take. People were stoked during Hot For Teacher. Paying attention. Cheering. Impressive, given that most probably wouldn't have bought tickets for a VH show. As soon as Eddie started Eruption, the true believers STFU to hear him. The rest were stunned into silence within a few seconds. Both groups took out their cellphones because they KNEW that they were recording something very special. Both groups showed great respect by keeping silent during a mind-blowing live performance by a virtuoso at the same level as Isthak Perlman and Yuja Wang. (look them up, thank me later.) I've been a fan since VH I, and this is one of the best live versions of Eruption I've ever seen. It's even more special because of the elapsed time between their first album and this performance. IMO, among other rock bands, only Rush has done the same. Remarkable. When they broke into You Really Got Me, the audience was still in awe. Naturally, they didn't react much. It takes time to process a stunning performance from a game-changing musician who had honed his craft and technique over decades. And did any of you haters stick around until the end? The crowd went wild. Sheesh.

Great sound quality, miss you every day Ed ❤

[@erictripton]

Edward playing ultra precise. Proves it's best to perform clean and sober.

[@manricobianchini5276]

Phenomenal player and artist. I have all their vinyl! For anyone who hasn't listen to VH on vinyl, you're greatly missing out! With headphones it's even better!

[@OsvaldoHCasal]

Miss you EVH for ever!

[@darinsmith2458]

amazing performance.. i was in LA when EVH died.. that is one guy i would have loved to meet and loved to play with..

[@gogoyubari366]

One of my favorite VH songs!

[@beverlyblackwelder4556]

EVH the master!! And Wolf looking good following in his dad's footsteps!! EVH-rest in peace. You are so missed!!

[@JS45678]

With one fell swoop, Eddie Van Halen nailed the coffin shut on disco and ushered in a dozen years of guitar virtuosity and shredding. Always replicated…Never duplicated. RIP EVH 🙏♥️

[@scottmasson3039]

Disco rules. Those guys loved disco too.

[@kbtube8125]

they had to play it at gazzari's and outher clubs around hollywood. most bands had to do covers if they wanted to work. owner wanted the crowd dancing. once they made their mark, they let it go. @@scottmasson3039

[@ahawk1968]

I so wish these guys could have sorted out problems and given the fans a last stadium tour with EVERYONE involved throughout the years. Geez ,even Alex looks like he's having a good time...😂 Glad Wolfie got to REALLY play with his Dad, he's so on his way to being a monster in his own right.. Thanks for all the tunes gentlemen..

[@simonsmith3060]

Why was the crowd so subdued? It's like they were watching Jazz or something.

[@derekedge2089]

Because it's Kimmel. Dude's a total toolbox.

[@nemonucliosis]

Probably my favorite version of this song. I like the "i got my pencil, give me something to write on" but the changes in this verion arw spot on.

[@misshair]

Back in the day, both Dave and Eddie had undeniably huge stage presence. Incredibly, even in this clip, Eddie still had huge stage presence…whereas Dave looks like somebody trying desperately for attention. Although kudos to Dave, he soldiered on during this show, after bopping himself pretty badly across the nose with the microphone stand

I used to ride my skateboard or bmx bike between friends houses or to school while listening to 1984 and 5150 in the 80s. What an amazing time.

[@damianscarff3810]

Fantastic. Eddie Van Halen what a Talent

[@scottk5978]

Watching Masters at work. RIP to the MIGHTY EVH!

[@OutLawJames808]
