One time I was late for work, and I was just racing through the streets trying to find a parking spot. It was a snowy slippery day, and I was blasting this song on the way to work. I just happened to drift around a corner with my car just as a pick slide went down the fret board. It was the greatest thing that every happened to me in my life.
That is a true legend and I'm jealous.
The ONLY way this can be any better is if you were in a Trans Am.
Oh please lie to us and say it was a Trans Am!

Those little moments are prefect
One goddamn take. One guitar. We lived in the time of Edward Van Halen. All hail.
In fact we all living in age of Jimmy Page. And EVH is playing his version of what Page played that years, '75-'76.
Mate Jebach avoid the usage of “in fact” whenever you’re stating a subjective matter
@@matejebach5487 Page NEVER played like this. Ever. Page used to do open string pull-offs ala Heartbreaker. Very often quite sloppily. Seeing that technique was one of the seeds for Eddie. But, Page could never come anywhere close to this in his playing. He's a much different style. Much more bluesy. His fingers just don't work in the same way. He WAS an influence on Eddie. Absolutely. No doubt. But, Page simply never played anything like this.
@@matejebach5487 Page isn’t qualified as a guitarist to be Ed’s roadie
Devin Hull nice one asshat
*This Thanksgiving I'm going to be thankful that i was alive during the time of Eddie Van Halen.*
Amen!
Happy Thanksgiving brother!
We are blessed!
Long live the King
Edward Van Halen
✌💛🤘
Venger Exactly. This is for the youth of the future Man you don't know what you missed.
We were blessed by the gods.
Like seeing Mozart, or watching Michaelanglo paint that ceiling, I slapped his hand in ‘86 front row 5150 tour Minneapolis
Crazy to hear all the “ghost notes” that get lost in the full band version. Fantastic!
Hammer ons, Blues licks, fat power chords, sick slides, speed picking....complete SLAP in our guitar face!!!
That speed picking at the end is INSANE. It doesn't sound like a human can do that.
Agreed ! i am not even a VH fan as never cared for Roth or his style . But as a guitar player .. Eddie was no doubt .. the most innovative player from the late 70's on ! Nobody has influenced as many players as he did . It's not even close . True legend
@@SJ-ty5rw Jeff Beck!
@@billplaney2585 Jeff Beck is great and nobody would deny that, but I personally don't think he would even argue that Eddie's ability to make every song was beyond anyone.
The riff is very original but you can hear the influence of ZZ Top. La Grange was a song they covered before making it big and you hear that in this riff.
You live on forever as a legend... never forgotten. Rest in peace, Rockstar.
Yeah, i agree 1,000% the o nly other stars i can think of that rival Van Halen were J. Hendrix and Stevie Ray its so sad that they burn so brightly for only a while ,and then they burn out
@steve henderson that is false. Sorry laddy.
@steve henderson hell yea bro
@@steveandriyedlucas21
Rhoades was great and considered EVH a hero.
Rhoads died too young for us to know where he was going.
EVH gets my vote, with nothing but admiration for Hendrix, Rhoads.
@@fritzburbank935 Everyone builds off one another. B.B. King, Chuck Berry, Hendrix, Stevie Ray, Eddie Van Halen, Zack Wylde there's a ton of greats that add a pinch of genius to the world.
There’s not even that much distortion on Ed’s guitar. Nothing to hide behind. His technique is insane. 👍🔥
That was the biggest surprise for me listening to this. A bit of overdrive and done. Incredible player.
Very little distortion needed when you have those hands.
All tone
You're right. Funny how you don't notice that when you first hear it. I didn't. The way he plays makes you think there is lots of distortion.
Everyone that every played his rig said, "Wait, I just sound like me" expecting to sound massive. The brown sound is his fingers. Stevie Ray Vaughn, same thing. To sound like EVH or SVR you have to BE them.
The guitar needed a cigarette afterwards and the amp filed a police report.
Amp was to busy crying to file anything and the guitar filed a rape report...lol
That’s funny!
Not funny
Haha!
How do you think Eddie Van Halen would have felt about sexual assault jokes?
Not bad for a piano player
Actually he's a drummer 😉🤟🏻
Jack Roller no, he isn’t
@@jbisch272 Yes he is. He started out as a drummer then he and Alex switched. If you have 1984 as your avi you should know that.
jarjon76 he started as a pianist from a young age and won many contests as a kid , this is way before the drums
Know your shit well
@@LinkRocks he was never "a drummer". Their dad him a drum set and Alex a guitar. Before either learned how to play, they traded each other.
is it odd how everything else plays in your head while listening to this?
lyrics,drums, bass.
BADASS playing Eddie!
hahahahahahahaah totally agree, you worded it perfectly,,,,,this is awesome to listen to
Not Really.
I hear it. He is a beast.
Drums base line DLR.... its all there.
it does for me with the drums i can hear the drums along with it but not the bass or singing
I don’t want to play solos like evh. I wanna play riffs like him.
Word! He makes even basic stuff sound killer!
You bet. Dude swings
@@trjb1767 Dude Swings- that's the secret right there.
@@marzzz1 Yeah, VH always had a monster groove. That’s what I hate most about modern music, no groove. There are a few people with it today, but not many.
And those sick licks!!!
Never would have imagined this was a single take. Never.
It probably isn’t. What things make you think it could be?
He knocked everything out in one or two takes beginning with the debut album. Ted Templeman's words.
Why not? All he had to do is practice and then hit the record button and play it one more time.
Too bad he didn't tune his guitar.
@@63ah1275 Why should it matter? In context of the whole mix it’s fine.
Eddie’s rhythm playing was as good as his lead solo’s. One track front to back. Producer Ted Templeman said when EVH came into the studio, he never made mistakes.
i think that's a stretch. he was an ok rhythm guy. as most rock- metal guys are. his forte was solo's and his infamous tapping technique.
@@bconni2 Eddie was great at anything guitar. 'Ok rhythm guy', lmao
@@manuelper he was average on rhythm when compared to some of the other guitar legends. but relax, its no big deal. he was still one of the all-time greats when it comes to rock- metal guitar.
Nobody could lay down groove and swag like Ed, a class by himself
@@bconni2 Name a few you feel are above him. He easily makes the title of great.
All played in one take (with band) on a '58 Gibson Flying V. interviewer "So how did get the clean sound overdub? Eddie "I just rolled off the neck volume and switched between pickups."
Legend..
That's really interesting, I never knew he recorded this with a Flying V. I figured it was with his Kramer or something, I guess because he plays it in this song's video...
Tone...hee Eye oh me
mick destiny Yep, true. Not an easy thing to do though, but I guess 6 years of heavy touring and 5 previous records will have you doing little tricks like that in your sleep.
I was not aware that it was a Flying V either. That said, I believe Top Jimmy was recorded with a Kramer Ripley Stereo (each string had its own volume). Tres cool.
one take.........that is the amazing part..................wb
Every aspect of Eddie's guitar playing is absolutely impeccable. His passing is a tremendous loss.
Joe not that big of a loss. Eddie was a believer so you can imagine him playing a harp now. I do agree he was a one of a kind though
3:25 - 3:30 probably my favourite part of any solo that I've ever heard.... after all these years it still gives me goose bumps
Also 3:16 - 3:21 Awesome !
The whole thing is just amazing. The song is just pure guitar at its best. I really don’t think any song has a rhythm and solo that are just impeccable to music. A true artist at work. It’s takes hours and hours for a great guitar player to write a solo. Eddy would do it in 15 minutes.
I like the slight pinch harmonic bends around 3:15. So much attitude. This is my favorite Evh piece and the video is just the coolest rock video ever
I don't feel tardy.
elTorpedo I think the clock is slow
CLASS DISMISSED!!!!
i always thought he said turdy. i can't believe it
Tucker Livingston
I thought it was “dirty” jfc
I brought my pencil!
The man was a musical genius. Pay your respects. God loves Eddie Van Halen and I hope to jam with him into eternity someday when my time comes too. The man gave us the recipe. God bless his soul.
Hey Adam. I doubt anyone here was unaware of Eddie's "musical genius" ; perhaps a few. And we certainly don't need your suggestion on how to grieve.
Then you have to bring god into it. Why do people of "faith", always feel inclined to let the rest of us know what they believe. I don't claim to know what Eddie's thoughts were on this but, it has nothing to do with our collective appreciation of his many talents [guitarist, songwriter, father, key/piano player, putter of smiles on millions of faces, ect...], and it seems very out of place here. Go sell Fantasy somewhere else.
DreamBrother Adam is just exercising his right to say whatever he pleases, and I’m sure he doesn’t give a tiny rat’s ass about anything you have to say about his “faith”.
my name randy eddy van helan pamper
and jump
I’m sure all Eddie wants to do with this “eternity” you speak of is jam with randomers.
Thank you for this!!! I still can't believe he's gone. 😪
Me too! 😥
😪 = Snoring
Hi
Hi
Yes we
I notice there are no gaps, it's incredible the work rate he puts in on the rhythm not relying on anyone else in the band to keep the groove going
I think his training as a pianist and having an example of "groove" like that of his father Jan in the house, to jam with, sculpted his understanding of music in a very unique way. While most people gravitate toward someone like Benny Goodman where clarinet is concerned, his dad was truly badass on his wind instrument. "Big Bad Bill" - the clarinet in that song is every bit as creative in its construction as Eddie's guitar playing. Signature groove. Impeccable timing. He had the distinct privilege of growing up with an orthodox piano teacher for a mother, and a big band, clarinet playing groove monster for a father. All he needed was a love of music, which we all know, ran thru his heart and soul like a lifeblood.
This sounds like Eddie was writing a ZZ Top song! ♥️♥️
I've always thought Hot For Teacher sounds like ZZ Top's song Heard It On the X.
And I know they had a few ZZ Top tunes in their repertoire back in the Mammoth days.
Same basic riff.
Someone should send this to David Crosby....
" Meh" he wouldn't understand, long live Eddie VanHalen \m/
I actually watched a CZcams video of that disgusting fat body the other day. Crosby doesn’t even deserve a “meh”. His guitar playing sounds like bird shit, he does not have a singing voice, he wasn’t prepared, he’s not close to a professional musician, and he really should say nothing at all, if he doesn’t have something good to say about the likes of Eddie Van Halen. He is the guitar god of all time. I don’t have enough time, to list all of the things, that he could do really well. Fat boy Crosby, keep your mouth shut. The majority of people that know who you are don’t like you anyway. Your numbers are climbing. Give it a rest!
@giglio33012 google him
When he was asked about Eddie Van Halen he said "meh". Hes a dick. Always has been.
@Mot Yrrah yeah! What you said!
@Michael floyd Without Jim McGuinn(Byrds) and stephen stills(CS&N) he would nothing.
What kind of heathen would give this a thumbs down? I cried when I heard you'd passed away. You were an original. R.I.P.
The little riff he does at 1:45 is like the La Villa Strangiato (by Rush) breakdown near the end of the that song.
People seem to over look how super tight his rhythm playing was. This is one of several isolated tracks I’ve heard and it’s my first observation every time
Unbelievable rhythm player and still the whole song sounds improvised
Best rhythm guitar player ever
I wonder if him playing drums at first contributed to his genius on guitar? Especially his phenomenal rhythm playing....
I wholeheartedly agree!!! 👍🏻
@@anthonyj.m.4750 I think it is 2 things. First he played classical piano, so with a metronome. 2and, unlike most of us who spent years playing alone in our bedroom, he was always playing with a drummer. Or maybe it was all innate, who the hell knows.
You can really hear the swing beat that he loved to put in his playing so much.
Van Halen isn't dead.....God just wants guitar lessons...
True
That is good....
hendrix was already dead
@@rockthrower1847 van halen and clapton are better than hendrix
@@tjordan9995 you could argue for van halen but not clapton
"I wonder what the teacher will look like this year?" Miss you Eddie. Your music will stay forever. Condolences to your family.
My heart is broken today - but tomorrow I'll rock my ass off listening to my favorite Eddie tracks. Heaven is having an Eruption tonight, rest in peace EVH.
@stubbornness makes a persons personality What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Fuck you.
Noone plays rhythm like Eddie. That fast paced blues has so much swagger. Also, absolutely love when he slows it down and hybrid picks that one part, so badass.
He was more than a rock and roll guitar player. He was a master musician. I have trouble finding the words to explain how impressive his technique, sound and rhythms are. He just makes you shake your head and ask “How does he do it?”
There aren't words. Might sound dated but I find myself saying "damn thar sounded cool as fuck" a ll the time when I listen to him
Isn't that the baddest ass picture of what a guitar "god" should look like?!!! Hail King Eddie!!!
One thing missing, a cigarette 🚬 burning 😂
EVH forever.
The most dynamic playing I've ever witnessed.
*anyone has ever witnessed
Listening to this kind of stuff really makes his loss hit home. R.I.P EVH you shaped the entire culture of rock and roll music.
You can hear it a million times, and still find something New every time to fall in love with. The Romance Never Gets Old ! RIP 😢
Interesting to hear that isolated. Never really noticed that Ed had his toggle switch in the neck position for the "intro verse" or whatever you call it and his gain was lower than usual. Brings back memories of learning to play it in my bedroom back in 85. Thanks for that. I loved Eddie SO much growing up! He will never be forgotten.
I'm not an expert on EVH's guitars, but I'm pretty certain the single coil in the neck position on the red-striped "Frankenstrat" was a dummy and not actually wired to anything.
Yes. On the frankenstrat.
This is true. I believe he played an Gibson explorer that was borrowed from friend Chris Holmes on this album. Also, he just rolled down the volume at the appropriate time for the "clean" sound. With the volume rolled back, the output gain of the guitar is much less, thus a cleaner sound. I do the same when I play. No footswitch
@@thedukeofno You are correct. But I'm guessing he was probably using a different guitar for that track. 😎
If I’m not mistaken I believe that sound is just him rolling off the volume on his distorted tones and using the same pickup.
I heard him say once that he used a 58 Flying V on this track. ✌️
Heard him first time live in 04. They started the set off in the dark with him playing alone. I absolutely shivered at how clean and powerful he was in person. Never heard anything like it. 1955-2020 RIP Ed
Theres something so raw and visceral about these isolated guitar tracks, I just love it
Eddie was a monster, the style change from the riff to the clean feels like almost cutting two songs in one its amazing
This song was my intro to Van Halen and Eddie. I was telling my son today what a totally insane experience it was for a 14 year old me, starting out playing the electric guitar, to later hear Eruption for the first time. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and almost wore the tape out calling everyone I knew to play it to them over the phone. Most of them didn't appreciate it and only recognized Eddie's name because this was the year the first Back to the Future film came out! Rest in peace man. Thanks for the music EVH - the world is an emptier place without you in it.
The song that got me through puberty and made me feel cheated at the selection of teachers I had. The man will always be a legend.
I dunno, my grade 11 social teacher was pretty cute. Probably isn't anymore
Eddie’s timing and swing is unmatched!!!
he had such good timing!! that groove, accuracy and mastery of his guitar style will never be matched
These isolated tracks of Eddie's guitar playing are just off the charts nuts! One thing most people miss is Eddie's incredible groove while playing all this crazy amazing stuff, even the solos. Hendrix was the same way.
my two favorite guitarist
Built in swing and shuffling.
Perfect example of someone mastering their craft.
R.I.P Ed, you were one of my guitar heroes!
And still is!!!🤘
Simply put just flat out BADASS..Iconic song from most of our youths. Although you lived the life of 10 men hopefully enjoyed every minute of it,your riffs an style will go on for many yrs to come...RIP EVH...Thanks for everything...
I am still crying over his passing. There will never be anyone like him -the talent, the joy, the performance, the humility. He had it all rolled up in an impish package that was impossible not to love. I was lucky to have grown up with his music and for that I am forever grateful.
I got my pencil. Give me something to write on , Man !
i don't feel tardy
Steve I always thought it said, I don't feel dirty!
Christopher T
The act of being late to class
class dismiss
listen to the back ground, some dude says "my butt, man"
Man, it just sounds like he's havin' a blast.
He was ,that’s why he was always smiling
He was magic on the guitar. There will never be another Eddie Van Halen.
Hearing the bare song with only Eddie's guitar shows how talented of a musician and true guitar master he was anytime he made music. Rock in Peace EVH
Absolutely amazing! First time to hear it separately after decades of listening to this and heard so many nuances I never realized were there. My number one guitar hero since 1978 and forever.
Eddie will be remembered for a long time by many guitar players.
I think he is the best of all-time. Bombastic, balls-to-the-wall, aggressive and fun at the same time. It's also kinda sneaky--you don't realize how many intricate the parts are sometimes.
brilliant, eddie was one of a kind, nobody like him... aside from his brilliant chops and innovations, eddie always put the music first, he had a bag of tricks nobody had ever heard before, but he didn't just stand up there and noodle for an hour, he played in a band, and made all his tricks musical, part of the music, part of the song... not the other way around...
eddie wasn't your typical guitar god showing you how he could tap, pinch harmonics, dive bomb, and shred, it wasn't a guitar clinic for eddie, he wasn't doing tricks for sake of doing tricks. eddie was all about van halen, the band, the music, the song... and his body of work speaks for itself... rip eddie. you will be missed, but your music will live forever.
Exactly that is what separates the greats from the posers! The greats focus primarily on the song and main melodies and perfect rhythm playing. Everything else they play is to spice up the song and give it energy and make it sound bad azz!
I love these isolated tracks!
Was blessed to have eddies music since I was 13. Hard to believe that is genius is no longer with us. How can so much talent and greatness just disappear into the ether forever? Rip evh. You will always be loved and missed by so many people.
He will always remain one of the best guitar players of all time.
No.... EDDIE VAN HALEN is absolutely 100% the best of all time "so far".
@@jakelance6 yeah and it's not even close
That twangy break is just gold!
He had the look, the skills, the soul, the brains and the desire to give the world something very few musicians can. I'm so glad I can to age with Van Halen. End of a generation. Who will take the torch from here?
czcams.com/video/rDoye-EBH8Q/video.html Youngblood has 'tude in Spades....
Greatest riff OF ALL TIME . RIP Edward Van Halen
I never realized just how fast he’s playing...constantly. The isolation really lets you hear it’s just frenetic start to finish.
I dont think I've seen a good cover of this song.
This song has to be one of the most fast paced mainstream rock songs ever. The fact that it has stood the test of time and still in regular rotation on classic rock, oldies, and adult contemporary radio 35+ years later proves how legendary the talent here really is
This is the result of 10 years of practice 8 hours a day. Early home tapes show his progress 74 to 78.
Hard work, as always, was required.
The genius of talent is then revealed.
When I hear isolated tracks from other players, they sound weak compared to Eddie. He has such a strong command of the guitar. F ing awesome.
Not many lead players can play rhythm like Eddie can. IMO that's what separates him from most other guitarists. He can play scorching leads, but also play melodic rhythms that rival his best leads. The guy is a musical genius.
CHeck Randy Rhodes
He was made for this shit
Check _Blackened_ isolated guitar
@@reubinsp3171 Overrated
Im not lying, I can hear a grin in that guitar performance. You can hear his joy and playfulness.
God, thanks man for sharing your gift.
PS
I was 15 in 1984, drummer, and in a band with my buddy when he came to school, somehow, with the brand new tape of the 1984 album.(I actually think he ditched school during the lunch hour to run to the record store! There's no other way to produce it in the middle of the day, at school?) (We kept staring at the cover during choir practice)
After we listened a bit, I begged him to loan me the tape, just to hear the rest, then give it right back.
I still can't believe he did, and I was such a jerk I kept it forever!! I knew it was so wrong, his brand new tape (and he was the guitarist in the band) I just couldn't stop listening, every song, and he knew it too.
That's a great friend! We played tons of gigs, lots of love and little fights like that. Goddamn!
(Before I had a double bass set, I learned how to play it with my right hand stick, and right foot, on the kick head. . . Years later I subbed with a band, that song came up. They were in shock when I pulled that outa my ass!)
I digress.
thanks EVH for sharing your artistry, and light and defining a key part of my life, what a time!!!!!
Upon Eddie's arrival in heaven...
God: "Ed,what's up buddy?!...guess who wants to learn how to play the guitar?...this guy!"
That’s funny!
Asked about the loss of his longtime friend and bandmate, frontman David Lee Roth stated "zappady doo wop zebow!".
Brings me to tears...
FIRST TRACK RECORDED. Done all in ONE TAKE.... NO punches..... simply unreal! Eddie Van Halen is beyond simply talented. He is not of this earth. Amazing example of greatness. Thanks for sharing this for the world to see what truly gifted talent is all about!
Where do you get this bs?! This is a composite edit of many, many takes, different tones, etc.
@@artysanmobile I think it’s just about mythologising the man, stories are better than truth. Anyone with a basic ear for mixing knows that editing/multiple takes are here. Doesn’t stop it being awesome!
There's a punch at 2:02, but that doesn't make the playing any less impressive. The guy was obviously a genius.
@@mattwinegar527 couldn’t agree more with you, he was fantastic. I don’t think editing on guitar takes reduces the impact of how incredible he was
How did David put lyrics to this? amazing..
Yeah man, how the fuck can you even step into the vocal booth after hearing that guitar 😂 I would just walk home 🤣
A genius in his own right!
This LEGEND will continue to inspire me long after his passing. ROCK ON IN PEACE! Miss you King Edward. :)
I was always impressed by this chord at 0:45. It is very beautiful the way he manages to get there, and lasts just a brief second. I was shocked the first time I've heard it. Never seen anything remotely close to that.
Might be the closest experience to hearing Eddie play and record guitar for that album. Great stuff! Keep 'em coming!
I was expecting way more gain than that... dude Rules!
In the beginnings EvH wasn't about gain at all.
the first van halen tone its just a marshall plexi, thats the original brown sound, its not a high gain amp after all
@@narvul Sure he was. There was just a different (lessened) achievable level of it back then.
@@darthshaggy9970 ...pushed with a variac and then the front end boosted with an MXR EQ pedal... So yeah it actually was a high gain sound for the time.
@@Van020280 The variac was to reduce the voltage so the amp wouldn't be so loud when turned all the way up. Allowed the amp to produce two stages of distortion in series. Still not very much gain.
The 30 seconds of silence at the beginning of the video sold me on it's authenticity, also the guitar playing as well.
AWESOME is absolutely right!!! Thank you for posting this isolated track! As someone who grew up listening to Van Halen, I, like everyone else was always in awe when it came to Eddie’s mastery of the guitar. But after all this time, hearing this isolated track leaves me just as flabbergasted as when I first heard Eruption all those years ago. The man was truly a ‘once in a lifetime phenom’. This track shows it. I feel so fortunate to have lived on this earth when the great EVH lived and performed
Eddie's riffs will last forever!
There's a percussive element to Eddie's playing. That's because he started out on piano, then went to drums years before he ever picked up a guitar. He's playing the piano on a guitar. That's where that bottom end thump comes from. Incredible depth in that tone.
I will say it a million times, and mean it everytime Being a guitarist myself, I know what EVH was to me. Everyone else here knows what he meant to them. You can throw out all the superlatives you want about The Master, but there is never going to be an argument about his mastery of his chosen art. No else had players around the planet going "What the F is that". From his grin to his fingers Eddie was born to bring us joy through his expression of his art, and you can thank whatever god you believe in that he shared his joy with us.
ALWAYS #1
UNPARALLELED.
When the master emerged, from the opening chords of you really got me, every player knew the sonic landscape was changed in a way that was unheard of up to that time. Eruption smashed his foot onto your throat daring you to try to emulate him. No one can.
There was never anyone like him, and there will never be another, and I miss his artistry.
Not only does it sound like 1 take. He didn't record a second one to beef up the sound like a lot of guys do. One guitar track is what we got and we are thankful for that.
I think EVH was living a few speeds ahead of us mere mortals, like he was part hummingbird or something. No other way to explain his playing.
Kinda remember an interview of ed saying in his younger yrs he would do coke so he could stay up for days playing guitar, it shows.
@@markrogers7304 99% of rock acts were on coke in those days...
Same goes for Steve Ray Vaughn and his skills
Actually, there might be an explanation. His mother was an orthodox piano teacher. His father was a big band, clarinet playing groove monster. Between the two, music in the home would always demonstrate foundational structure accompanied with creative imagination. That combination is contagiously fun! Both Eddie and Alex loved music, I believe, as a direct result of who their parents were. Music was the lifeblood of their parents and their household. Having two great examples, aiding in the development of a love for music, for parents... it's not a wonder that both went on to be incredibly accomplished musicians.
part hummingbird! hilarious!
My god, how great is this? One of the best songs and solos of all time.
As always, awesome, awesome AND AWESOME!!!.. and I've listened to this track 100,000,000 times..RIP EVH.🙏

My homework was not quite like this
Its very hard to know that Eddie Is gone and not here in this world in person but his legacy will live forever
How'd we lose him before Keith Richards 😁
Pretty damn sure if he was from the UK he would have been knighted. Love ya Edward, the light will always shine.
Fantastic. Also made me realize what a powerhouse bass player Michael Anthony is. I can totally feel the difference.
The amount of detail and work that went into his playing is incredible! This was a labor of love!
No one else in history seemed happier with a guitar in his hands than Eddie!
Each and every one of Eddie’s guitar licks and songs on ‘Women and Children First ‘ were the epitome of this once in a lifetime Rock God’s greatness! My favorite Van Halen album!
Flyers Fan this song was in 1984 album...
@@Boatdude100 yes, Sal. The entire ‘1984’ is awesome too!
I grew up playing 1984 over and over and over.
It's the originality that made Eddie stand out. isolate a lot of other tracks and you'll hear a whole lot less going on in a basic Rock track. It wasn't his finger tapping but his rhythmic skills that really made him shine. And he applied that rhythmic sensibility to his solos.
My God, this is the essence of what I've loved for 35 yrs now. Rest in peace. x
Glad I got to see Van Halen before Eddie passed away....just saw them once,but it was outstanding
I find myself playing this daily. To me, it is at least equal to the actual song. It is just what I need in the year of covid. RIP Edward.
Funny how this is the part you listen too throughout the whole song with all parts playing. Although the only time I felt something was missing...it was where Alex had perfect timing beating the drums.
I love this. In the first transition from clean to distortion you can hear him click into his distortion channel on his pedal. Now stuff like that gets chopped out without a second thought.
I've actually never realized how much swing is involved in evh riffs. They're almost, or maybe even impossible to replicate
Immeasurable talent. You can't teach what Eddie had/has!!
What a riff.. A great master... Like Blackmore, Hendrix, Rory Gallagher and Mark Knopfler
That pick slide in the beginning is from another world! Sounds like he’s igniting a light saber!
That guitar sound is an entire rock band in of itself. Monstrous.
