I saw them at a bar in Va. Beach , Va . In 1977 right before they made it big . That night there was a bad thunderstorm and it knocked the power out . But that didn’t hinder the band , they played some acoustical stuff and did some funny comedy stuff, they were very cool and when the power came back on 2 hours later they not only did their show but played an extra couple of hours . Till this day , one of the best shows I’ve ever seen . RIP Eddie ✌️

Wow…wish I could have seen that

[@grego934]

@@Nopeandnope3861 it was one of those moments that I didn’t realize would be epic because to me they were being Real and just doing what they all loved and the fact that even though it was just in a small club on the east coast , they still made sure we all got our moneys worth and more. Just had no clue back then but one thing was for sure , we all knew by the time their show was done , they were special .

[@sicfrynut]

@@neillenet291 with so many different musical styles and genres it's very hard to say this guitar god is best or not over another player . clapton vs page vs gilmour for instance. when a musician starts a different style of playing (Darrell Abbott for one is constantly brought up for his contributions to the metal scene). then there is personal taste of said styles and genres to be considered as well.

[@neillenet291]

@@sicfrynut as with Hendrix before him, Eddie Van Halen completely changed the way electric guitar is played. To this day the playing innovations and methods that Van Halen created are used by nearly every serious lead guitarist that followed him. Is he my personal favorite guitar player? No. That would be David Gilmour, but Eddie Van Halen advanced guitar playing more than any other player, and I would have to say he's the greatest of all time. Again, it's opinion, but an educated opinion.

R.I.P Eddie Van Halen, a true guitar player and entertainer.

[@jakeenan]

Most solos are boring after a short while. But this solo is different. They are a little mini of solo songs all put together. It is a work of art. THE guitar solo of guitar solos. Eddie was and will remain one of THE most influential guitarists of all time. Well done, young lady, for going with it. He is so unique and can be quite overwhelming to fresh ears.

[@sicfrynut]

it was the original solo that led to all the soloing during the hair band days in the 80's as those guitarists : Lynch, Tipton, Angus, Slash, Murray, etc. etc. tried to outdo what Eddie started. EVH set the bar and that led to some outstanding guitar solos in the 80's.)

[@joshthomas2536]

@@sicfrynut hope you don't mean Angus as in ACDC's Angus Young, they had already put out 3 or 4 albums by the time VH released their first. That and I don't remember him playing anything that could be marked as an attempt to out do Eddie as their playing styles are completely different, they were actually quite good friends who wouldn't do anything like you mentioned to take the spotlight from one another. And it's funny you put ACDC under the category of 80s hair bands. If you're referring to a different Angus I retract everything I mentioned.

[@brownrm47]

A lot of players can shred but lose the musicality EVH does both in abundance.

[@sicfrynut]

@@joshthomas2536 i was trying to remember top guitarists who were playing in the 80's and also forgetting Glen Tipton also played in the 70's and prior to EVH i believe. I should probably avoid using MM and trying to thought process at the same time. what i was trying to get at was how Eddie set the bar with his speed and playing that the 80's hair bands (ratt, dokken, cinderella, tesla etc.) guitarists would try to attain during their own soloing careers. warren demartini and jake e lee were good friends as kids and always talked about how they would try to outdo one another and how evh influenced their playing styles. Dimebag was also a good friend and created his own unique sound due to EVH''s influence, which is why Eddie had Zakk Wylde put his "bumblee bee" guitar from VHII in Dime's casket with him. basically, Eruption was a very special guitar solo that helped inspire guitarists since then. even Steve Harris incorporated 1/32nd and 1/64th notes in his bass playing.

[@antkn33]

I teared up a little. I would love to experience Eddie’s playing for the first time again.

[@thervninja150]

Van Halen 1 came out 44 years ago. Back in 1978 if we were listening to music that was 44 years old, we’d have to go back to 1934, the time of the Great Depression. That would have been ancient times to my 7 year old ears at the time. HOWEVER, Van Halen 1 still sounds fresh to this day.

[@stevepick9527]

Countless hours of practice/playing… as a guitarist myself it’s still hard to believe how amazing Eddie was. His “tap on” technique was just over the top, and he was the pioneer in this. Right up there among the all time greats!

[@mikemiller3069]

Hi Steve; fellow guitarist here too. Have you ever listened to Stanley Jordan? He is more jazz oriented than Eddie but he uses a tapping technique where he plays full chords and incorporates a melody within, all by tapping. He has many tracks on KZbin to choose from including (if I remember correctly) a guitar version of "Bohemian Rhapsody". There are even instances of him playing two guitars at once. I think you will like him too.

[@stevepick9527]

Thanks for the heads up, I will definitely check him out!

[@nealgunderson7799]

This is actually more than just Eruption Guitar Solo. Starting at 8:22 mark is Cathedral. He made the pipe organ sounds by turning the knobs on the guitar in such a way that it defied logic.

[@joshthomas2536]

316 at the start, a bit of Eruption buried in, Cathedral where you mentioned , Mean Street shortly after Cathedral, more Eruption, (heard some rumours that he was playing Michael Jackson's Beat It towards the end but yet to pick up on it myself), then the final taps hinting of a slight demo of Spanish Fly. Cathedral was twisting the volume nob from memory to take the sharp tone out and give the smooth violin/chello vibe. Could be wrong but let's face it, we're all here for Eddie❤️🤍🖤

[@supertal6074]

There will never be another Edward Van Halen or Van Halen for that matter. Not only was he the Greatest Electric Guitarist but the band had Incredible music. Every song of VH is a BANGER!

I was honored to have met Eddie VanHalen in the parking lot at guitar centers in Hollywood. I was behind him trying to get in the parking lot yelling get out of the way ass hole. He parked across from me and I said excuse me sir are you Eddie VanHalen. He said yup. Man I've always wanted to meet you. He smiled. I shook his big strong hand..he gave me an autograph Frankenstein guitar. And I almost peed. He wrote 1997 as well. I'm 55 and still have that guitar to this day. One of the nices guys I have ever met he. Was wearing thongs that looks like 99 cent store. Cut off army pants cut off t shirt. But driving a 944 porcha.targa. candy burgundy. Wow his last words to me was check out my new wolf gang guitar it's coming out soon cool guitar. I stood there watching my hero walking away. I now Owen a piece of rock history. God bless you Eddie 😘

[@clarkgrayhame1250]

I applaud you Mo for listening to the whole solo. Remember that this was the mid to late 80s where guitar solos were at their peak within concerts. Eddie was at a while other level with his style. He could play at lightning speed. Think of him as the equivalent as a concert maestro. He could play multiple instruments but what he did with a guitar was something beyond special. Even hammering on those scales like he did with such speed was a sight to behold. You mentioned how he had his eyes closed. He didn't need to see what he was doing, he merely felt his music. I would say the man was a prodigy, he is sorely missed and may he rest in Power.

[@mikegoldstein1246]

Well put. This performance should (and is) the greatest guitar performance of all time by anyone alive or dead. There is so much going on here its incomprehendble. His skill level is so far ahead of everyone else yet his feel, creativity, flow, PERCISION, and overall construction of these pieces is just so far beyond a Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, Page etc...so much there...

[@cuda426hemi]

@@mikegoldstein1246 Problem is VH music wasn't half as good as the music of the pioneers you mention. Eddie had a revolutionary technique but he purveyed simple music. He wasn't as complex or fast as Allan Holdsworth and his mastery of scales, nor did he have the vast sweep of Hendrix' or Pagey's music. But he did exploit the tapping bit - took that trick to a new level. We used to see VH all the time at the Starwood - Crescent Heights/Santa Monica back when he was woodshedding this stuff - they were okay. Then 1st LP comes out w/Eruption and that cemented his legacy - despite the rip off of Jim Dandy that clownshoes Dave was doing for years. Today there are great players taking it further - Guthrie Govan, Tosin Abasi and so forth - but Eddie was good in his time just as Eric, Jimi, Jimmy, Ritchie, Alvin etc in the 60s and 70s were and SRV in the 80s. Everybody rides on the shoulders of who came before them - Ed would say Eric was his biggest muse - he learned the epic Crossroads solo as a youngster just as I learned Alvin's Going Home after I saw him do it at Woodstock. 🎸

[@mikegoldstein1246]

@@cuda426hemi I will say that their music was much more party and appealing as good tune so that's a preference thing and sure anyone can say they prefer Claptons Cream and Hendrix music as better overall music. But I'm sorry I have seen almost everything live Hendrix ever played and he isn't even in the same playing field as EVH. Edward was so much more advanced snd so much more precise than Hendrix along with being a much faster and technically superior player. EVH also played with feel and swing and most importantly had the most devastating rythm playing you will ever hear. Sorry but have to disagree about "just exploiting the tapping". Ed was so much more than tapping that it's a shame to only see that in his playing. Players that are incredible in their own right and know alot about playing say Edward is the best they ever saw Lukather,Schoen,, Nugent, May, and many others who were around with those older players all said Edward was the best they ever saw

[@cuda426hemi]

@@mikegoldstein1246 You don't understand - no Clapton or Hendrix NO Eddie - that's how TIME works; they said everything you are saying about Eric, Jimi, Jimmy and so forth FIRST - there is only one FIRST- as I said Ed stood on the SHOULDERS of the GREATS he copied and learned from. He wasn't the FIRST at anything except exploiting tapping which had already been around for years. All VH's chord progressions are predictable and nothing special. Now if they ALL came at the same TIME you might have a case but just as Tosin Abasi is so much more advanced than Eddie today - you see how it goes? And as I said a good player with mediocre music - is that as important to the world in general as the music that is the fabric of rock? VHs best songs and what broke them was COVER tunes - You Really Got Me, Pretty Woman, Where Have All The Good Times Gone etc. Ain't nobody going to walk down the street humming Eruption. The music is why I don't regard VH as anything special - Eddie was special but not so much VH. As you say they were a club/party band at best. As far as guitar players per sé Jimi was 10x more revolutionary for guitar players than Ed - just a fact, a historical fact - you want proof? Buy ANY book on Rock guitar players or look at ANY Poll and you won't find Eddie in the top three of BEST EVER. Sorry. Jimi's single performance at Monterey is the single most revolutionary show on guitar in history - just the look on Mama Cass' face and the audience says it all. 🎸

[@mikegoldstein1246]

@@cuda426hemi your nuts man..seriously. some of the things you say about Ed's playing are just opposite of what most people say about it. Eddie was named #1 by guitar world ...yes #1 greatest guitar player of all time. Eruption was named on many occasions as the greatest guitar solo of all time. And my point is lined up all together not who came first. Edward can play every note those guys played with ease and eyes closed. Don't believe me? Check out his out of thr blue playing of Crossroads where he nails that solo with so much ease in thr middle of a fuckin interview albeit, just shows you how easily he can nail those guys music. You give Mean Street. Spanish Fly ( on acoustic) Eruption, Little guitars I'm the One, and not one of those players I mentioned could even touch it. Not one. Logic is without one there is no other but Edward wasn't inspired or influenced by Hendrix at all. All those guys regurgitate same blues licks in different ways...Ed created so much more. Again...had they all been lined up at same time with their skills, Edward is in another galaxy than all of them.

[@shannonwittman950]

RIP the Great Eddie Van Halen, virtuoso of rock guitar. Not only was he that, he was also a guitar builder especially early on when he had little money to buy guitars. Through building guitars, he learned about the use of electronic harmonics. He saw Jimmy Page at a concert early on occasionally doing it -- called "tapping" -- though he never called it that but he did take it much further than Page, as seen here. Ed was a personable guy and a friend to all. In the years before he died his appearance became entirely different, still very fit but sort of grey haired, late-middle age. Many would not recognize him on the street. But in spite of cancer, he was a rock-star survivor and lived his life to the full.

[@guitarwins1896]

The way he moves his fingers so fast is because of years of practice, hard work, and dedication. But I personally think he was born to play the guitar. Fun fact his brother is the drummer and Eddie used to play drums and Alex played guitar but they weren't getting better or nowhere near better than they expected so they switched instruments! That changed everything! A lot of history was made over the years!

[@tonynascar3]

Eddie has at least 3 US patents for his inventions of guitar hardware. If you rewatch, that is not a belt around his waist...it is part of a "platform" by which he can level the 🎸 to reach behind and effectively open the back to change the pickups to become the "organ" and "violin". This solo is actually pieces of 7-8 solos in different songs...SO inventive that no one can ever truly do what Eddie could!!

[@jackaubrey3037]

The DRUMMER, THO! That's Ed's big bro Alex and beloved partner in crime since birth. They played music TOGETHER, like conjoined twins, for over half a century!!! Ed's passing must have been awful for his highly protective older brother. Check out any of Al's solos (Pleasuredome/drum solo should cover that for you.) The brothers were opposite sides of the same DNA strand of music, and could play so closely together it is like hearing one person play both guitar and drums. Alex could slay the audience with a drum solo just as well as Eddie could, no joke. Both were classically trained pianists, but both played multiple instruments with ridiculous ease! Van Halen is worth a deep dive. Enjoy!

Watching your face through this, and other videos makes me jealous. I want to have that “shiny song” again

His awesome fingertapping he first did in 74'. This guy was f'ing awesome at approximately 19. No one TODAY comes remotely close to the talent of the KIDS in the 70's and 80's - especially Eddie. To all the know it alls, yes he DID begin tapping at about 19. He said it himself in an interview.

Yeah that's right when you have Alex and Eddie van Halen are real brother in life but I told them that they were never top van Halen because they don't want to touch Eddie van Halen music and he is the greatest guitarists in the world but they van Halen will live on for ever in are hearts r.i.p Eddie van Halen.

I had the privilege to see them in their "hungry" prime in 1979 on their first world tour as the headlining band. I was 14 and blown away! So sad losing Eddie.

Who is he? Greatest guitar player to ever grace the earth, thats who

[@russellw7785]

Him and the drummer were brothers. The drummer was a guitar player and he was a drummer when they were younger but they swapped. They were both classical piano players when they were kids. And he couldn't read music.

Ohhhh NO !!!! You're about to listen to the King , Mr. Eddie Van Halen.. He changed the way and is why 90% of guitar players back then and today have some of the Van Halen style in there own playing. If it wasn't for guitarist like , Hendrix , Clapton Muddy Waters , B.B. King and this man : The 6 String Master - Eddie Van Halen,, we wouldn't have as many great guitarist as we do today. He changed the guitar game forever.. Although they're many great guitarist today, none of them would be if it wasn't for Mr. Van Halen.. And there's never going to be another EVH, ever.. May he Rest in Peace, and have his place on the concert stage of HEAVEN..🙏. I hope you truly enjoyed watching and listening to the Master of the 6 String. And might I add with all respect intended:: You are sincerely, a very beautiful Queen.🥀
