We sure did . It’s like the whole way of the middle class is gone right with the rock roll . It’s like in the 2000s the whole Americana of the 70s 80s and 90s is gone
1991 MTV VMA’s aired live Sept 1991. This event was around two months after Reuben’s arrest in Sarasota Fl for indecent exposure at an adult theater. As seen in this video, Rueben receives an overwhelming standing ovation and tries to holds back his emotions in order to stay in character. Great video clip. Thanks for posting this.
Amazing to think how lame/tame his “crime” was then compared to now. Can’t imagine anyone would blink an eye at some guy going into adult theatre these days.
Did you all notice the variety in that line up? That's what we LOST. Now its all the same generic pop crap. I don't even know why they bother holding "Awards shows" these days.
🥰 my biggest condolences to Eddie's family & fans!😢 Waving at all ya fans! And hey did you make it to the 1991 vanhalen concert in Portland Oregon!? 🥰 at the time called Memorial coliseum! Awesome concert! 💖 Eddie rock out in the heavens! 🙏✝️ Waving at you! ✝️🙏 Will miss ya! 💖
Say what you will about which VH is superior, the truth is, there aren’t that many musicians who can pull this off live with such a high level of virtuosity these days…..
Van Halen, Aerosmith, Lynard Skynard, ZZ Top and Pearl Jam five awesome American rock bands all from different parts of the country and there’s many more. England and the US the melting pot of kickass rock music. All from different genres. We need to get rid of the crap making music and performing music these days and find some people to bring back the good stuff. Like jamming for a few measures and not being so strict. Let the musicians show off like they use to. Let them experiment and show off. Today’s music is so tied up and muzzled it’s sickening. Check out the music that makes up all those guitar hero games. Let them jam let them go.
People people probably don't understand the significance of the Pee Wee thing if they watch it now, but this was his first public appearance in character since he got busted for the porn theater thing, and it was a total surprise. Was kind of a big deal.
9 Ampeg SVT cabinets stacked 3 high sideways and 6 SVT heads. If all are hooked up that would be awesome. I had 1 head and 2 cabs and could nearly use 1 in most rooms
I think Van Halen and Pearl Jam were the 2 greatest performances ever at the MTV awards. Gifted musicians with 2 powerhouse frontmen. The talent and musical genius of these 2 bands were never again seen at this crumbling, pathetic, brainwashed, greedy, disgusting network. MTV became a joke around 2001. As the population grew in stupidity and social media magnified our retarded society, it was just to late to repair it. We're done. But at least we have old music to turn to. 70s, 80s, and 90s were the best for both music and film / television. Damn. Internet and social media ruined everything that was good.
VH really fucked this up; they could’ve reunited and cleaned up big time. Instead , they let petty fights and ego block their potential reunion. RIP King Edward. I wished it would’ve ended differently.😢
Holy shit I remember watching this this was the first time I saw Eddie use the drill on the guitar 🎸 my friend told me about him using a drill on the guitar I was like no way how is it possible without him breaking the strings? He said I don’t know 🤷♂️ but he’s used a drill an actual real drill I didn’t believed him had to see it for myself yup 👍🏻 after that I was convinced he could do anything with the guitar 🎸
I don't think that's right that it was their first TV appearance ever. I believe they were on a couple of shows in the early 80s. Maybe first TV show with Sammy. Eddie was on David Letterman's show twice in 1985 when he stood in with Paul Shaffer's band. And then he was on Saturday Night Live in 1987.
This was after PeeWee Herman had his little scandal at the porno theater for anyone watching who have no idea why he asked is anyone heard any good jokes lately.
MTV sucks now man- this was the shit!!! Damnit 🤦🏻♀️ I remember watching this. It is NOTHING like this anymore ugh everyone’s so freaking sensitive and Karen’s ugh the world sucks man. Let’s go back to the 90s!
From what I've read, EVH's relationship with Ernie Ball/ Music Man was from 1991 to 1995. The Peavey Wolfgang was from 1996 to 1999 and then Fender started building the Wolfgang from then on.
This is when Van Halen was still Van Halen and MTV was still Mtv, love it
Right?? I can't see music videos unless you MTV classic and even then😿 it was the best in the beginning.....what happened and WHY???
@@renadromey620 i swear i still remember when i was watching MTV Video awards in 93 or 94 something was different. It hasnt been the same evwr since.
@@renadromey620 w
When was EVH not EVH ? 😆
I do get the mtv reference tho
That’s how you start a show! They were so tight back then and sounded amazing. Miss those days - both the band and just that time in general.
we didnt realize how good we had it !! FK I sure miss Rock and Roll
We sure did . It’s like the whole way of the middle class is gone right with the rock roll . It’s like in the 2000s the whole Americana of the 70s 80s and 90s is gone
This kicked all the other VMA’s to the curb.
I think this is the most 1991 document in existence. A Rosetta Stone of culture
Van Halen kicking ass!!! American Greater Band ever !!!!
Long Live the King 👑 of Guitar 🎸. We will always love you. Rock on Eddie 🤘🎸🎸🎸❤️❤️❤️❤️
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I GIVE THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN..MISS THOSE DAYS
This was the best VMA they've ever had.
Nope...Sorry Charlie
I said the exact same thing to myself. I remember watching this and pumped from start to finish.
Yeah, nowadays its all this teeny pop, R & B horseshit. Makes me wanna puke. Miss the 80s and 90s when Rock was It
Yes . I have it on VHS somewhere still. When mtv was good
@@michaelprice7005 What was wrong with it?
This was fun to watch. Thank you 🙏 brought back many good memories. 🎸🎸❤️❤️🤘🤘RIP Eddie

Thus the "heard any good jokes lately" line. Dude's a pro.

Who cares? He was a great comedian and aren't they allowed a PRIVATE life at times
Today, he'd be canceled. He'll, ain't too late
@@robertwheatley8809 You have no clue about anything.
Ahhhhhh! The last actual year of real rockn roll
Never thought it would end…
This was the last great MTV Video Music Awards. Downhill since then...=VH=
This is the greatest American rock and roll band ever. Well said Mr Hall Well said
RIP MTV with cool music
Ah yes. The days when musicians actually knew how to play and didn't rely on sampling someone else's music.
Peewee: 'I didn't take the money!"
Happy Birthday Eddie Van Halen.
Ah the good ol days when Budweiser and Ed were king!
Devin Ed still is the King.
Classic!!
Every instrument sounds tight & crisp, great sound mix here
Bon Jovi, GNR AND Van Halen!!! Can you imagine?!?!?!
Did you all notice the variety in that line up? That's what we LOST. Now its all the same generic pop crap. I don't even know why they bother holding "Awards shows" these days.
I’m glad his fans stuck by Him.. 😢 .. Rip pee wee
100 Percent Smokin, Rock'n'roll. The GREATEST I am sure ever.
I remember this….it was the first time I had seen Pee-Wee since the movie theater incident.
Man I miss the old days.
That was a damn good performance
VH at the absolute top of their game. These were great times, I was 20 here.
I was 21 ❤️ VH 🤟🎸

Long live V H, BEST EVER
Wow. Pop-culture was high-culture back then.
Greatest American rock and roll band ever ? Eddie and Alex were born in the Netherlands
PROUD to be BORN this year ❤️
By far the best Van Halen.
Rock on Pee-Wee!
God these days were the best. No bullshit, just fun and celebrating!!!!!!!
where did 30 years go!
They were a different Van Halen during that time. iMiss the early 80s Van Halen!!!
Yup, Van Hagar never did a thing for me. Generic, bland pop.
Oh Rafael. I think you copied a comment from someone else. 🤦♂️
Miss you Eddie but you live in our hearts. Also miss in another way the great Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, the dinamite duo with no question
Say what you will about which VH is superior, the truth is, there aren’t that many musicians who can pull this off live with such a high level of virtuosity these days…..
Unparalell
Goosebumps!
Jesus H they were good!

@@larryoneill7432 thank you Larry
At that time, I never thought that MTV could dies and these good days would be gone one day. And it's gone now. MTV is dead.
MTV was about over here in 91’. Maybe up till 95.
Alex and Eddie sounding amazing!!!
Man, it's so cool how popular PeeWee was.
The best ! Se te extraña querido Eddie!

Sounded to me like Arsenio was channelling Reverend Brown when he said "Van HALENNNNN"...
RIP Ed x
Van hagar👍
Makita should have done a limited edition EVH Poundcake DRILL
Really !

Dave is still my favorite. Loved them from day one❤️❤️
Wait!!!!!...did Sammy just hand Eddie a pick?
This was before MTV became Degenerate MTV.
What's degenerate about Mtv?

Heard any good jokes lately? The crowds reaction was my reaction. He's an icon
I could never stand Arsenio
Me either
Yeah, I never understood the appeal.
This was after PeeWee Herman had his little scandal at the porno theater for anyone watching who have no idea why he asked is anyone heard any good jokes lately.
MTV sucks now man- this was the shit!!! Damnit 🤦🏻♀️ I remember watching this. It is NOTHING like this anymore ugh everyone’s so freaking sensitive and Karen’s ugh the world sucks man. Let’s go back to the 90s!
When it was WORTH watching???? ?
Is that an Ernie Ball music man he’s playing?
Yup.
I didn't think he was working with Music Man till 1994?
From what I've read, EVH's relationship with Ernie Ball/ Music Man was from 1991 to 1995. The Peavey Wolfgang was from 1996 to 1999 and then Fender started building the Wolfgang from then on.
@@danielspangler8358 close. Ebmm 91-95. Peavy wolf 96-2004 …fender evh 2007-present. Rip Eddie
Real Deal
Who knew in ten years everything would go to shit
Cute as he wants to be Pee Wew
I need the doc.
EVH FOREV
Hear any good jokes lately? As a matter of fact Pee Wee...😂
PeeWee comes on, and some cow starts screaming and screaming.
And she won't shut up, did any of you noticed ?
Pee wee!🤘
the 90s were horrendous for music, very little came outta that decade that was amazing.....some good but not much.
@Lance Lanny just as bad today if not worse.
Mr. Bean love child?
listen to the crap out there today compared to that!
before the awards got choked down with crappy lip synching and rap crap.
Yummy I love my baby's pound cake 😋
