Van Halen - Runaround (Live version)

[@robh3702]

That pre chorus riff gives me the chills

[@DIRTKNAPFX]

lol, same here. I have watched this probably 10 times in a row

[@jasonmelick587]

You nail it. Most of us are just holding on for dear life trying to pick Eddie's licks. You're attacking it, and it actually sounds like Van Halen

[@erik814u2]

Lol. Thank you so much!

[@flyingdutchman80]

Wow, what a bad ass riff. You nailed this song. I've heard this song a million times. How have I not noticed how bad ass it was until now? Thanks again for the inspiration. You rock

[@andrewengle564]

As a lifelong Eddie fan, stunning, and a lot of fun to watch!

[@erik814u2]

Andrew Engle Thank you!

[@Turk_2023]

Why did you stop uploading?

[@TheFilthLA]

The live version of this solo is one of my favorites. Best of the 90s era IMO.

[@MrDtaylor099]

This is why the whole world loves EVH. Cudos, dude!

[@erik814u2]

Thank you!

[@DavidGutierrez-ib7rg]

Wow! Just wow! Nailed it!!!

[@erik814u2]

Thank you very much!

[@hemixprs]

You know this kind of playing is on a level all its own...well done to you and Eddy the guitarist extraordinare!

[@erik814u2]

Thank you very much!

[@javierdiazsantana]

Probably the best VH riff from the 90's.

[@buckwheat2551]

Eddie now worships at your throne! Well done Brother!!!!

[@eugeniomariaaguirre2463]

[@lyonsy81]

[@erik814u2]

Thank you!

[@golfhound]

erik814u2 Well done! Truly well done. Being a guitarist myself and having played many Van Halen songs, I know how much work it took to perfect Eddie's songs/guitar playing. Bravo Erik. Bravo! Now if I could only afford one of Eddie's guitars........... hmmm.

[@erik814u2]

Thank you very much!

[@Dr.Propane]

Truly amazing to me

[@erik814u2]

Thank you so much!

[@Dr.Propane]

You're welcome! It's one of my dreams just to be able to play like you and Eddie both.

[@Theo-hc5ob]

WOW! That was incredible! Thanks for posting. Damn beautiful guitar, too.

[@alanhightower976]

Same! Of all the guitars Eddie played, that amber flame Music Man was always my favorite!

[@evhfan8870]

Excellent!

[@erik814u2]

Thank you!

[@kevinfriedly446]

Look at the technique and the fact he is relaxed and knows the the right hand placement for the correct chords at the right time.

[@erik814u2]

Thank you so much!

[@5150Eddie5150]

Absolutely suburb bud. Wish I could play it all the way through like that. Fun song.

[@erik814u2]

Thank you so much!

[@nanuburimu24]

Awesome :) I love the outro. Pls do a short tutorial on the technique on how to do those cool EVH squelies. U do those effortlessly. Thx.

[@therealscarred2112]

Fantastic playing and beautiful quilt on the MM Axis - it’s the younger, guitar-playing brother’s (Bassist/Chapman Stickist/Hack Guitarist here) favorite guitar of all time, and after his Wife got a deal on a SBMM version and I treated for the set-up & Duncan Jazz/JB upgrade (he’s also a huge Randy Rhoads fan... ;-) he’s been in love with the thing. 👍🏼 The “Axis” models’ pickups are just about the same as the original EVH versions, correct? I’d *love* to surprise him with the Real Thing... if he does the opposite for me, that is. 😉 (I wouldn’t say “No” to a quality “modern” Jazz Bass or bolt-on Euro Spector, 4 or 5-string 👍🏼) Or if he wants to “keep it in the family”, one of the BFR Bongo 5HS would do nicely!

[@antonellapeluffo7837]

muy bueno me gusto como lo tocaste

[@faarao75]

Good Jam !

[@guitarslave]

Dude...those harmonics at about 3:54 are BAD ASS!!!

[@erik814u2]

Lol! Thank you very much!

[@raphbilbon7843]

Good brown Sound !!! Yes !!!

[@HiOctane62]

Awesome

[@sellerceo]

Dude. Solid.

[@lazaropolanco2142]

nice! bro!!

[@BL-cc1vm]

holy crap dude this is awesome, you got a subscribe from me!

[@lancemyers4576]

Erik I just subscribed cause I was going thru some balance songs, mainly "Aftershock" and you were dead on. I am enjoying all that you have put on this here youtube. My other song that I enjoy off that record is Feelin. I would like to see you doing "Running with the devil" you already have and I just haven't caught it yet.

[@erik814u2]

Thank you very much! I covered "Feelin'".

[@patlav344]

super

[@thelonelydirector]

Eddie's leads are, of course, amazing. But I've taken notice lately that his rhythm lines are freakin' COOL and and unique, doing a lot of work in the songs.

[@erik814u2]

In my honest opinion, a lot of his rhythms are more complex than his solos.

[@thelonelydirector]

@@erik814u2 Exactly. I notice it more in the Hagar years but that could be because I listen to them more.

[@fins142]

Like I said before NICE!!!!

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

Awesome man. I'm trying to learn this song, but I have a long way to go to play at the level you do.

[@erik814u2]

Thank you very much!

[@erik814u2]

Thank you very much!

[@erik814u2]

Thank you so much!

[@vinnycerbo1490]

Was gonna hop on my guitar for a bit but after watching your videos I think I'm gonna toss it in the trash.

[@adstanra]

good job my friend.....

[@erik814u2]

Thank you.

[@erik814u2]

Thanks.

[@RareHarmony]

How devastated were you when he passed? I know I was. Also thank you, for uploading such a great cover, once again. RIP to the master.

[@erik814u2]

Very. Still am.

[@armaanjetti6414]

Can you make a video on how to play this song please

[@3milks1cup82]

You just got me started on the biggest Van Halen kick I've been on in years. I'd love to see the tab for this song as well as "Top of the World". Just curious if you eared this all out or used a website of some sorts? Also, fantastic work on all of your songs. This type of playing would make David Lee Roth think that he's not such hot shit after all. Hahah.

[@OrdinaryJv]

best cover i've seen on the internet. What amp do you use?

[@bryanfelitto9318]

Money 🤑💰!!!

[@Militaria_Collector]

I’ve been playing guitar for 20 years and you make me look like I suck

[@kenroy916]

Haha good! Great job on your playing btw how do you own so many beautiful guitars?

[@PsychedelicNightTrai]

yeah dude I got one a dem goldy guitars

[@starkie46]

Wow that was awesome! How long have you been playing?

[@Jaketheguitarguy1]

Where did you get the live version baking tracks? I have been trying I find some for a long time

[@neps81]

good \m/

[@kenroy916]

Sorry just make sure to take exclamation mark off at the end of the link ooops.

[@adenmoore8299]

how much money for one of those

[@erik814u2]

Between $1,600 and $2,500.

[@erik814u2]

Anywhere between $1,500 and $2,400

[@kevinfriedly446]

That is because its EVH

[@R1XTER5150]

Put up more! NOW buddy!

[@armaanjetti6414]

Apart from the cover

[@jesperwinklerjohnsrud1895]

Tabs?

[@erik814u2]

Sorry. I don't have tabs. I learn by ear.

[@erik814u2]

No. I learn by ear.

[@erik814u2]

No. I learn by ear.

[@widowmakerofkillerelite-el6317]

Flawless that mate, do yourself a huge favour and pick up a USB interface from Line6 etc. and download Reaper for free and record this wizardry properly

[@erik814u2]

Lol. Thanks. Wanna buy me that gear??

[@kenroy916]

Yeah seriously what the hell would compel a person to speak such blasphemy!?
