Very well done, and I totally agree that the inner tensions in the band on the Fair Warning album were evident, which is probably what made the record so great and my personal favorite as well. The only question I have is the knocking sound at the beginning of the Beat It solo. I always took it as Eddie Knocking on his guitar body, as no part of the guitar was off limits if it made noise with that guy. RIP King Edward

I cant help it i grew up on him i always loved david and his craziness he was the rock and roll clown metalacoloops lol i may not like him in real life who knows but i loved him as a front man he would do seriously anything to get the crowd attention

Eddie saying you better be wearing a cup to dave is comical dave has been in martial arts for decades🤣

Van halen 3 van cerone was SO LAME& BIG MISTAKE replacing michael with wolfie ed should have left him home eating cupcakes with val

I liked the first two movies alot but I can't say the same about the last two mainly because they were so bad I can't remember them. By the way could you do a review of the 1982 movie THE ENTITY?that would be cool!!!

It's a shame VH3 didn't turn out better. Gary is a great singer that should have been a perfect fit. Extreme should be widely regarded as an amazing hard rock band.

Fair Warning and the tour were The Mighty Van Halen at their Mightiest!

Edward was quite the dishonest schemer. But Roth was labeled as the troublemaker?

I remember when Eddie was the undisputed king of lead guitar in the '80s. Rest in peace, legend.

What trips me out is they gave the bass player a huge pay cut because he didn't do enough but I have heard that drums don't get royalty are song writing credits drums are in the musical category of arrangement and that get one time payment every arrangement the drums do but after that they are not included in royalty sounds to me the drummer got what the bass player normally gets and the bass player got what the drums get like they switched it around but who knows all I know is someone who sings and plays on the album should get some points off the album if he doesn't he nothing more then a studio player can't even consider him part of the band eddi would hard to deal with but the 80s were about getting it all now not later the future was now in the 80 everything is mine and greed is good to major 80s ideals man I miss those days lol

You are the most thorough as well as entertaining guitar rock channel

A different kind of truth rocked IMHO. The guitar was very overdriven but had lots of clarity!!! That album made me buy a white evh 5150 iii. I loved beats working,at that time i was kitchen managing a pretty trendy and upscale restaurant. I mean we'd do three thousand dollar lunches. Whenever my staff would go at each other. I'd take em in my office and put ,"beats working " on and spark a phat exotic blunt!!!

Gary belongs with Nuno and David with Eddie . It's that simple . Sammy was great but only Dave could do Van Halen .

Why can't this be love sammy I ain't talking about love dave that says everything the difference is pretty clear lol

Unbelievable guitarist, but can we all agree that the bucket and mask bit is dumb as shit.

Eddie was the absolute best. Maybe he wasn’t perfect but every time he picked up a guitar he was great. We don’t realize how lucky we were to have him in our generation. Eddie forever #1

There is no money that can repay

Very freaking cool

I was a huge fan of Van Halen in the 80s and early 90s. I thought the transition from Dave to Sammy went well. The music matured as it should. Then, out of nowhere, Sammy's out. To me, especially looking back, this was the end of the Van Halen that i loved. Bringing Dave out at the MTV awards, they deceived the fan base who was salivating to have Dave back. The rest is history. VH3 flopped, and then they tried to reunite with Dave and Sam out of desperation. That's when they're true colors shown through. The way they treated Michael Anthony made me sick and watching Eddie on stage trying to perform while being wasted on drugs and alcohol was embarrassing. They did every money grab they could get and squeezed every dollar they could from their loyal fans. Now they can't even put together a tribute together for Eddie, the so-called GOAT of guitar players. He could have been, but to me, spent too many years doing nothing. Im glad Sam and Mike are still class acts. They are carrying the torch. The Van Halen story, if told honestly, is a very sad tale.

Why does everyone seemed to hate Hagar? It’s ridiculous

I had tears and my conspiracy mind going crazy because at that time we had to jab ta fly!!

Eddie was seriously going to collaborate with Limp Bizkit? What a train wreck that would have been but I’m still shocked that it was even suggested! Weird story

If you prefer Sammy ' era , you are not a Van Halen fan ...

Such great content!

Eddie Vh Defenders Need To Be quiet Eddie was a Notorious Prick to Dave Mike Sammy Etc Talented sure but Van Halen Lost Money Because hes a Drunk Alcholoic drug addict

A different kind of truth lacks high frequencies. It ruins the album for me.

I’m not a hug Van Hagar fan, but I totally believe Sammy on this stuff, and Dave for that matter. Eddie’s a musical genius there’s no denying it, but I think he was easily influenced especially when it came to his ego. I’m sorry but as egotistical and out there as Dave is, I just can’t see him saying “Tonight’s about my movie, not about your hip”. However, I can imagine Eddie being pissed about Dave promoting his movie on VH air time and saying something like that.

Saw em in 2007 and it was great. Skipped the 2012 and 2015 tours as Dave had become a clown by then.

I get why rhe band was pissed about beat it but seriously it was one of the most iconic guitar solos ever recorded that's straight facts and van Halen who was already a legend became a icon in pop culture from then on it was totally worth it in the long run

This was awesome, man. Really well done! Enjoyed it!

How Many Say I is not the worst song…the lyrics were good. The piano playing was great. Agree, the harmonies…man…they were flat. All over, but the live show was great…music wise, but Gary looked weird onstage….imho. Al was on fire on this tour! However, we’ve just learned that Ed played most of the drums too…the bass, guitars… I don’t care VH3 was still better than 99% of other bands albums….he was the GOAT, andI miss the man each day! What a loss!

That last bit got me a little choked up. Good job on this series man.

Thank you for this great trilogy about The King ❤

Russ Parrish IS "Satchel" from Steel Panther.

Now that's fast!!!

My 1st =VH= album was 5150.

Love =VH=

It's funny how people don't buy the argument of Edward being the conflictive one on these situations when he is the sole constant. The only VH members he didn't fire were his family (Alex and Wolfgang).

Well done. Made my Father’s Day. Thank you

I've watched each 3 episodes of these series and your videos are a great watch. Thanks for this Van Halen series and all of your other ones on other legend guitarists, keep the good stuff coming!

I did not know these things. Ty so much for making this my friend

Smashing work good Sir and Happy Father's Day! 🎸

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Jimmy also happy father's day ❤😊

there's a video of one of the australia shows. i don't know about the 'iii' album, but thought that the show was great, and even made a case that cherone was their best singer ever. roth was the best frontman, but as a singer, cherone might have been the best. there's such a small sample size of that era, though...

Ed said repeatedly , Sam's attitude changed around that time around Carnal and Balance . In a Howard Stern CZcams compilation of Van Halen , around that time Sam started saying things like " This is MY band . " , and " Lead singer of the band , leader of the band , what's the difference ? " . It wasn't Ray's fault . I always wondered why he even mentioned Ray's name in the BALANCE song Can't Stop Loving You . In the VH3 promotion issue of THE INSIDE MAGAZINE ( independent Van Halen fan magazine ) Alex , Eddie AND Mike all said Captain Candyass quit .

Wowww!!! 👌👌👌

first

Roy was to good to be handcuffed to any band in the world like another Tele master Danny Gatton. They were mavericks never going to be household names they didn,t fit the Guitar God profile. Danny walked on stage looking and dressed like he,d come to fix the roof and Roy looked like your Geography teacher unknown to the masses but not to the lesser talented guitar gods of today

F U C K is my #1 Van Halen Album!! Just wishing I could find & buy either a DVD or Blu Ray video of 'Right here Right Now'.

Praxis rocked back in the day.
