I dont know of its been said but at 8:29 i believe he strummed the spings in back of the guitar that keep tension on the whammy bar. Then after that he uses the volume knob to get the chelo sound.
Eddie Van Halen was not just a virtuoso, he was a genius. He literally changed the way people play the guitar, I miss the man.
Yes. There was Hendrix, and all those late 60s early 70s dudes...
EVH came along and literally changed everything.
And while there is no 'best' guitar player, EVH is one of the most influential EVER.🤘
I have to disagree.. Edward was the best.. just like Michael Jordan was to basketball.. sure.. LeBron may own the scoring title..but Michael didn't play 37 season's like he has..if you really pay attention.. you will know who's the best..and Edward was the best..no ands..if's..but's or maybe's....
Every Day Bro, The understatements in these 1st time reaction clips are fantastic
Dude was not only building his own guitars, but I don't know of anyone else who was dipping pickups/windings in parafin wax lol?!?! That. Is. Genius.
@@MThomas5150 As basketball goes, Pistol Pete Maravich still owns a good majority of records. In college at LSU, Pete scored 68 points in one game. He still holds the all time scoring record 50 years later, despite there being NO 3 point shot at that time, NO shot clock, and Freshmen due to NCAA rules could not play on the varsity. So he set all those records playing in just 3 seasons. It only took Pete 26 games to reach 1,000 points where it took Shaq 52. I don’t like any of these “Best ?” lists because there are so many that are the best at the style they play. I’d bet John Petrucci could EVH’s music but Eddie couldn’t play John’s. The guys in Dream Theater may all be the G.O.A.T. with their instruments. Buy I don’t like lists. 🙂
Just a grown up boy playing with his favorite toy. Smiling the whole time. Rip Eddie, thanks for the smiles
Yes, yes it is the best guitar solo of all time. By the greatest guitar musician of all time. I miss him every day. Dang.
Steve Via stated there are only two guitarist that changed the way guitar is played one being Jimmy Hendrix and the other Eddie Van Halen!
The greatest
Eddie was and still is a rock legend and a guitar god that had influenced numerous bands and guitarists for years, everyone wanted to be him.
Rest in Peace Eddie we all miss you
EVH,THE KING!!!!!!!!
THIS IS EVH DEAR LADY!!
⚡👊🏻⚡
It was 1986 and it was not illegal to smoke. You are facing the best guitar player ever❤
THE GUITAR IS SMOKING BECAUSE IT'S ON FIRE
My favorite guitar player of all time, I miss him so much. Thanks for sharing this with all of your subscribers. Don’t let this be the last Van Halen video that you react to as there is so much more.
Oh young child, smoking was the least “illegal “ thing we did on and off stage back then and today. That was such an innocent comment it made me smile.
I got to Open for Joan Jett at Diamond Head Hawaii. In 83 I know this Whole Menagerie and Bullshit of what the Business calls Music. It's Bullshit.
No one compares to Eddie Van Halen, he was the greatest, there will never be anyone as good as what he was..
Eddie’s great at what he does but his solos are mostly gimmicky sound effects. You want to hear solos that are their own songs within songs, listen to Michael Schenker’s solos with UFO, The Scorpions, and his solo projects. Listen to the outro to Love To Love or the outro to Profession Of Violence by UFO. Those solos have SOUL! Eddie’s just doodling. Michael Schenker was entirely self taught.
You realize that Edward was self thought too, correct? This is basically four solos put together …. 13 minutes of music that came from years of piano - that’s why he plays the way he does, it’s his piano background….The dude’s sound effects are all self created …
@@oceanlives4915
EVH didn’t invent tapping or volume swells, he did however took them to another level. Same thing with the beginning of mean street, he was interviewed about that and he said he seen a bass player doing it so he did his own thing with it. The biggest problem with EVH is he never got any better after his first few albums.
@@stevenewcomer8837
I gotta agree with the gimmicky thing, most of his solos were a brief burst of notes and a bunch of the same lame tapping stuff.🍻
@@oceanlives4915
Oh, I see, when someone taps or bass slaps it copying EVH but when he does it it’s innovative. The beat it solo is gimmicky just like 80% of all his other solos. Hell, he wasn’t even the best guitarist in 78 when His first album came out. Allen Holdsworth and Al DiMeola are way better guitarist/musicians than EVH. Hell, Randy Rhoads was hot on his heels with only two albums that were recorded in one year. Jeff Watson was doing eight finger tapping in the early 80’s that was a lot more difficult than the same old tapping EVH did for decades that he never improved on. Take any shredder like Yngwie,Tony Mcalpine,Vinnie Moore,Jason Becker,Paul Gilbert leave him in the dust. His solos are boring compared to any one of those guys. EVH was on top for a relatively short time before newer players out played and out preformed him. I like EVH but he wasn’t a difficult nut to figure out unlike others that came after him.
My parents raised me on bands like this. This was a bit before my time but man what a time it must've been to be alive. Your genuine reaction is so endearing sweetie. You have no idea how much joy it brings me seeing people be exposed to and enjoy the magic of Rock and Metal music. 🪄 Keep it up darling. 💜🤘
INNA - You should look up Wolfgang Van Halen - Eddie's son - very talented.
Eddie van Halen was born in Amsterdam and his family moved to the US when he was very young. He is considered one of the best guitar players of all time, and I agree. The first ever single I ever bought myself was Running with the Devil in 1980... which my mother was not happy about :D ... in those days smoking was allowed everywhere: at home, in bars, in your office, in trains and even on planes.
You just said the truth about everything in your comment Bro. I was trying to not listen to his works in my life because I’m fixated to young and female guitarists like Tina S. What an unforgiving mistake!he is totally different from all the “ famous “ lead guitarists. Smiling almost all the way in this solo unlike David or Steve, who have to go trough their solo in pain. I never will forgive myself to wait so long. But I’m hurry now to see Leonard Messi playing against Houston. It’s not art, it’s perfect engineering like that Philippine pool master.
Yep even the guitar took a couple of drags off Eddie's cig.
The best Dutch guitarist of all time. As a Dutchman from Amsterdam he made it big in the USA and became on of the most influential guitarists of all time. A legend!!! RIP Eddie van halen.
This was on their first album in 1978.
And of course hearing this for the first time as a teeneager was incredible.
They were my favorite band and favorite guitarist immediately.
"Eruption" started at 13:20 -- He used to do that as a warm up exercise they said "we're recording that!" This was 1978 and NO ONE was even close to Eddie when he came out. Most sold their guitars and left music.... Many imitators and posers since, but Eddie was the first and will always be THE BEST!
It warms my heart to see the younger generation seeing King Edward for the first time ❤️🤘🏻 I’m 52 and I started playing because of this man . Keep diving more into Van Halen 👍🏻
Eddie made a lot of people start guitar… and a lot of people quit! lol RIP
HOLY SHIT!!! You are discussing smoking laws 🤣. This is rock n roll baby. People are blazing up in the crowd
I was very fortunate to go at the concert during the VH tour when this concert was filmed. Eddie's guitar solo is the most memorable performance I remember. Best guitar solo I have witnessed in all concerts I have attended. I had a ticket to his last live show but was not able to go. Unfortunately, smoking and drinking shortened Eddie's life and amazing musical career. R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen.
I cryed hearing the solo
Its perfect lol
Eddie Van Halen played his different things that he had discovered when he was teaching himself the guitar. He never took a lesson and he was completely self taught and he made his own guitar because he could not find a guitar that had everything that he wanted a xss guitar to have so he by built it himself and now his guitar is one of the largest selling guitars that is sold now. He was and is probably the greatest guitarist that has ever lived and has inspired more people to pick up the guitar than anyone else since the 1970's when his band first came out. He is known as "King Edward " by his fans. I have been a Van Halen fan for most of my life and I recommend that you take a deep dive down the Van Halen rabbit hole. Starting with the early music and going to the most recent before he died. His son Wolfgang has a band and he has his father's musical genius.
This solo started out as a warm up exercise when they played in clubs While Van Halen was making their debut album.They put this solo as a trackt only took one to record it.From 1978-2015.He was always experiment with new ways to get sounds out of his guitar
My favorite parts of this solo are when he mixes in parts of the album version of the solo. It's only about 2 minutes long on the album, but it's iconic. For fans of VH, you instantly know the parts I'm talking about, These uninitiated youngsters won't, but that's ok. At least they have a taste of what we grew up with.
Eddie said he was so drunk during this show that he doesn’t remember playing this solo.
RIP Eddie, love you dearly. Thank you.
Eddie is not just a fantastic guitarist but an artist, making him stand out to me! His lead breaks were pure electricity but his rhythm playing was the foundation that drove his songwriting with brother Alex. Technique and tones that will take a lifetime to fully digest.
"There are no rules" - Eddie Van Halen
so fun to watch your facial reactions
It may surprise you to know that Eddie actually got his start in music as a classically trained concert pianist in his youth. He & His brother Alex later would teach themselves the guitar & drums respectively. BTW you should also ✅ out Alex's drum solos. It has been said that he could play the double kick bass pedals faster than what could even be created digitally!
That was greatness🤘❤️. Oh, and you have a cute smile
This was back when men were men, women were women And musicians had talent it did not matter if they smoked on stage
AND HIS EYES ARE CLOSED HALF OF THE TIME
I saw this tour on back to back nights in Detroit. 1986
Top 3 guitarist of all time.
Agree!
Who are the second and the third?
@@giuseppeb.8071 I think Jimmy Hendrix and Steve Ray Vaughn are the other two in my view. Followed by Jimmy Page at 4.
Obviously opinion.
@@giuseppeb.8071
Again...agree! lol
@@gabrielkain1
God i miss that man!
RIP Eddie we miss you brother 😢
This is an in concert video in New Haven Connecticut, the solo is live !
Revolutionary in the way he plays. In the calm part as you say he makes the guitar sound like a violin/cello
That cigarette was perfectly legal back then. Most of the people in the crowd were passing joints around and nobody cared. The sky didn't fall. The Boogeyman didn't get anybody. We had a blast back then. Trust me. I was there a lot of the time. God how I miss it.
You know, I have heard about, Jimmy, Paige, Clapton and SRV. When I say Jimmy, I mean Mr. Hendrix. Always find myself coming back to EVH solos. One of a damn kind.
And there you have a master musician.
Alright dear friend.... I knew you weren't ready for Eddie ‼️🎸💯🔥 this is my first time viewing your channel. Your most excellent 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
8:13 hes playing with the string above the nut where you tune them. They’re really tight so they make that high pitched sound
Eddie Van Halen Is Legendary Guitar!
🤟🇧🇷
This was 1985 in New Haven Connecticut. I lived 15 minutes fron here. New Haven Colisseum was an enclosed place and not outdoors This was about the time I went to numerous concerts in this venue. Back then many people smoked during concerts, so no one was going say anything to Eddie smoking. If it wasn't cigarettes it was other stuff..LOL This colliseum was demolished in 2007. I have many fond memories of seeing concerts here during my young adult years.
Eddie could have done whatever he wanted on stage. Smoke, drink and play, They’re not gonna throw him out! LOL
I saw VH 5 times. Great time to be a kid.
I enjoyed your reaction pretty lady!
I grew up on Van Halen's music. And I've seen this video of his guitar solo for a long time. And it never gets old!
And I sure do miss him. I still can't believe he's gone😔
Immigrated with his parents and brother from the Netherlands, classically trained and multi instrumental musician, self taught on guitar, and literally one of the greatest guitarists in the history of modern music. Genius, virtuoso, innovator. There will never be another Edward Lodejwik Van Halen.
It legit sounds like guitar is screaming! Love your accented beauty.❤😂 Thank you.
Van halen is a guitar god. Period.
He's playing instrumental songs from the band's albums and some of the guitar intros to others.
Legal to smoke a cigarette during a concert 😆 the crowd would be passing around joints to each other and bottles of liquor while they were playing 😉
Thank you for highlighting our hero and a great bunch of guys. God bless.
You need to listen to Michael Schenker’s solos on Love To Love and Rock Bottom, etc. by UFO. Michael was entirely self taught. His solos are songs within songs. They have soul and emotion.
Thank you for playing Eddie Van Halen and welcome to the Mighty Van Halen....please enjoy there music saw them in 83' US Festival and 84,86,88,91 and 07 al in Los Angeles...thanks again ❤😀
He was the BEST RIP Eddie !
Eddie has that guitar smoking what a Legend
He was the Lords Greatest Achievement in Mankind
The frustrating part of watching this iconic performance is knowing how Eruption blends right in to the next song on the album You Really Got Me and that transition is one of the best parts.
The goat.
This guy...Was totaly amazing.
He was definitely the greatest guitarist of my time!!! Was lucky enough to see them with David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar. ❤🤘❤🤘
You enjoyed watching it here, I enjoyed seeing this tour live back in 86. His solo was pretty much the same with maybe a few subtile differences, but basically the same. It's still one of the best concerts I've been to, and I've been to many. So does he play so fast, it's called practice & LOTS of it.., plus having a innate ability to play guitar helps immensely. So glad you enjoyed watching Eddie, and I highly recommend exploring Van Halen's catalog deeper, there's lots of great stuff there.
Great reaction... yeah, he was that good ❤🩹 Thank you
He is only one of a kind ! There will never,never be another Eddie . Rest in peace Eddie ! We all love you !🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Edward Van Halen is considered by most, to be the greatest rock guitarist of all time. Aside from playing, he also designed and built guitars and amplifiers with different guitar companies. He has influenced a couple of generations now of guitar players. Sadly, we are approaching the anniversary of his untimely death to cancer in 2020. RIP Eddie.
Because he was the KING NOBODY BETTER. and a musical genius. A beautiful reaction from a beautiful lady. I luv your accent. The solo is made up of different parts of different songs. If you listen to more of his songs you will see he is better than any of those guys you mentioned.
It’s hard to watch Van Halen with you sitting there with your beauty. 😊
Thank you Inna for this awesome reaction. IMHO Eddie Van Halen is the G.O.A.T. Wish you had Super Thanks on this video. Would have loved to show my appreciation for your honest opinion and those gorgeous eyes. Sorry, I'm just a sucker for a pretty face. TINA S. (French guitarist) does a cover of "ERUPTION" at age 14 that is equally amazing. But I highly recommend her guitar version of Beethoven's "MOONLIGHT SONATA".
Try Gary Richraft flying turkey trot live REO Speed wagon guitar solo best ever early 70s mind blowing
Sent a link to him giving an interview later in life. One of the guitars he built is in the Smithsonian museum.. He had a truly God given talent for music
Listen also to Stevie Ray Vaughan playing Texas Flood - this is a great rock solo - SRV's is equally as good in the blues genre - and just to help it's "Van Hay-len" - his tappiung technique makes it sound harder than it actually is, but he is absolutely a fantastic guitar player; his flat picking is pretty amazing - of course it is legal to smoke on stage
Even 3 minutes of this performance, if that's all he ever did, he is instant legend. He is insane. 😄 I grew up listening to him. Those who didn't are missing out.🤷♂️
Fantastic guitarplayer and person.
He was also so drunk and admitted he can't remember much of it.
Miss you so much Eddie 😢 as does everyone. That cigarette had the best seat that night.
Been into VH from go in 78.
Bands can smoke, it’s in their contract tour rider.
We can’t smoke anymore but they have no rules or they won’t play the venue.
In this video not only does he play eruption but he also plays mean street and cathedral if I'm correct, basically he's playing 3 solos and mixing them up.
This is from the late 80s so smoking was ok... you could even smoke on planes !
you should check out Jeff Healey, See the Light, live on Night Music 1988
he taught me how to play
You should react to “I Still Love You” unplugged by kiss. Paul Stanley is such an underrated singer.
He's wearing the MC Hammer pants before MC came out , 👍
It IS illegal in most places in the US to smoke..even onstage...however this was filmed in 1986
RIP!! My favorite guitarist as well as the Great Drummer Neil Peart. 😢
BEST SOLO U WILL EVER SEE!!! R.I.P. THE LEGEND EDDIE VAN HALEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Inna !!!
Another great reaction!!!! Bravo !!!
The first things I want to tell you are...Hold!! Do not change!! Keep It up!!!! I tell you this because I am sadly watching many reaction channels disappear on YT, and I hope that your channel stays alive for a long time and that it grows, more, more and more.
I have been following you for some time but I have never written to you because: (1) I am quite shy with people I don't know, and (2) I have no time enough, and (3) muy english smells like a dead ratt inside a dead cat (as you can read un this comment) Trying to improve It but, again, with no time enough.
Since you like the guitar (this vídeo from EVH Eruption it makes me think that) I would like to make you a recommendation, if you allow me.
Since you are very young, I want to recommend this song from 1985 (I'm sure that in that year you weren't even a little person project) and maybe you don't know.
HEAR N'AID - "STARS"
The Hear n' Aid project was metal's response to pop music charities such as Band Aid and USA For Africa; whose organizers had not invited anyone from hard rock/metal (as almost always, very reviled) So the metalheads did it on their own.
Hear n' Aid was founded in 1985 by Ronnie James Dio, a long-time contributor to numerous charitable projects over the years. Hear n' Aid didn't get much media coverage and didn't achieve box office sales like Band Aid or USA for Africa, but it generated a respectable amount of revenue.
Ronnie James Dio (Dio/Black Sabbath/Rainbow/Elf), Jimmy Bain (Dio/Rainbow) and Vivian Campbell (Dio/Def Leppard) were responsible for writing "Stars", the single originally written that would help generate income for the hunger.
In May 1985, Dio gathered more than 40 hard rock/metal musicians from around the world, and they recorded the song "Stars."
The following is a list of lead vocals:
Ronnie James Dio: from Dio
Dave Meniketti: from Y&T (Yesterday & Today)
Rob Halford: from Judas Priest
Kevin Dubrow: from Quiet Riot
Eric Bloom: from Blue Oyster Cult
Paul Shortino: from Rough Cutt
Geoff Tate: from Queensryche
Don Dokken: from Dokken
The highlight, for me, is the guitar solo, which consists of 7 chained guitar solos, in turn divided into several parts, but perfectly united so that it almost seems like a single solo. The transitions are perfect. And, although it is quite long, I am sure it will stay in your head.
GUITAR SOLOS:
- 1st solo in 4 parts: Craig Goldy/Eddie Ojeda/Craig Goldy/Eddie Ojeda (from the bands Giuffria/Twisted Sister)
- 2nd solo in 3 parts: Vivian Campbell/Brad Gillis/Vivian Campbell (from the bands Dio/Night Ranger)
- 3rd solo in 3 parts: Neal Schon/George Lynch/Neal Schon (from the bands Journey/Dokken)
- 4th solo in 3 parts: Yngwie Malmsteen/Vivian Campbell/ Yngwie Malmsteen (from the bands Yngwie Malmsteen/ Dio)
- 5th solo in 4 parts: George Lynch/Carlos Cavazo/George Lynch/Carlos Cavazo (from the bands Dokken/Quiet Riot)
- 6th solo in 2 parts: Brad Gillis, Craig Goldy (from the bands Night Ranger, Giuffria)
- 7th solo: Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (from the band Blue Oyster Cult) Last solo and Outro of this part.
All of the melodic guitars (or rhythm guitars) lines were performed by Adrian Smith and Dave Murray (both from Iron Maiden).
Bass: Jimmy Bain (from Dio)
Drums: Vinny Appice (from Dio)
Keyboards: Claude Schnell (from Dio)
This song has the great advantage that, by having numerous singers and guitarists, all of them of very high level, it will allow you to decide if any of them deserve to be heard with their respective bands. This is the song that I always recommend to get started in the world of hard rock/metal.
REACT OR NOT REACT, THAT IS THE QUESTION....
If you decide to react to this recommendation,...WoW!!!
I hope you like it as much as I do.
But if you decide not to react, I will understand, cause you must receive thousands of recomendations and not everything can be addressed. And I will continue being a subscriber to your Channel and giving you likes, whatever you decide. It is a recommendation, not an order. There are people who get very angry when their suggestion is not heeded. Your Channel, your rules. No one has to tell you what to do and what not to do.
Anyway, if you decide not to react, I highly recommend that you listen to this song in private, just for yourself, because I really think you will like it.
Make sure you get a correct link. My favorite is this one below:
czcams.com/video/xl15Wj2MwUw/video.htmlsi=rvza6yPHdLXSzyRm
...although the list of lead guitars is divided incorrectly in the video. Trust the list I gave you above because I have an original vinyl and it appears like this (and you can check it by watching the video)
CONCLUSION:
This song is a "kind of summary" of the hard rock/metal of the first half of the 80s
Greetings from Spain!
(Wow, if I write to you again I will try to be much shorter, since this looks like the complete works of Shakespeare....)
I wonder if she realized at the beginning of cathedral he is only using tapping and the volume knob.
In this video, you got to enjoy the Greatness that was Eddie Van Halen on the guitar. His older brother Alex plays the drums and in my opinion one of the 10 best rock drummers of all time. If you were to list the best drummers living or dead, he should be on that list. A lot of people prefer the music with David Lee Roth on Vox. Others like me prefer the talents of Sammy Hagar, those that are fans of Van Halen's music have different reasons for their opinions and that's cool music is an art form and is supposed to affect people emotionally. Van Halen were accidental experts at that. They wrote and played music they liked, and their fans were I like that to.👍🤟
No, it is the best guitar solo ever, dear. It's okay. Now, you're a fan, welcome. 😂❤ hahaha
The next videos you should watch should be SRV Texas Flood live at .mocabo! Probably the two greatest live guitar performances to date, are Eddie Van Halen eruption solo😊 and SRV Texas flood!
EVH is Mozart & we’re all Salieri’s. Witnessing greatness, but not in ourselves.
This is a combination of guitar pieces. The beginning is called "for Wolfie" for his son Wolfgang, Eruption, and a lot of improv. The actual solo on the album is around 3 or 4 minutes.
It also included Cathedral.
3 years ago today the world lost the Greatest Guitarist Ever...RIP King Edward...I had the Great fortune of seeing him Live 16 times and was blown away every time...He was the epitome of cool with that cigarette tucked behind the low E string, the Coolest looking guitar ever, the Greatest guitar tone in history and that smile, Oh man that smile. When he smiled he looked like he knew the secret to Everything but wasnt quite ready to share it with the rest of us mere mortals...I cried my eyes out the day he died and I do it every year on the anniversary of his passing...
and HE was able to Marry Valerie Bertanelli ,,, and they Created Wolfgang Van Halen
There are a couple guitarists that (at least imo) have marginally better pure technique, but in terms of being an innovator, Eddie is untouchable. The way he developed his tone is a little terrifying, and is equal parts electrical engineering, and mad science. He pioneered many of these techniques on the electric guitar. Probably every guitarist in this comment section has a few of them in our repertoire specifically because of Eddie.
Your probably right about it being illegal to smoke at concerts but I don't think rock stars worry to much about it
He was the King.......🎸💪💪😢
not illegal if you lived in the 80's
Professor King Eddie Van Halen ❤🎉🤘😀🤘 Class is in session
That was in 1986 and Eddie dose what he wants to
