  • he had tongue cancer and is still smoking?

  • @valdivia562 according to ed, smoking didnt cause it.

  • @digUbetterdead he might be a great guitarist but he is a dumbass

  • que guitarra mas asquerosa yo prefiero la q usaba antes

  • he just makes it all look so easy. Too bad it's not 

  • Goddamn i want those guitars lol, but i have the frankenstein replica :D

  • @maliceheart18

    son, u just wsated 25 grand on a $300 guitar dumbass :P

  • @chroylikesfish hehe that's what you think...;)

  • @maliceheart18 Can I has?

  • @MrSilver9692 Yes, you may has XD

  • Eds so awesome even if his voice is all forked up

  • i like how he doesnt show the strat

  • Eddie sounds like patty and selma from the simpsons now!he wont beat the stones while he smokes,he will be dead from lung cancer.

  • 2:22 This is a symbolic face !

  • holy crap his voice is shot from the smokes

  • all i have to say is, read sammy hagars book and excerpts in rolling stone magazine about playing with van halen. its pretty sad.

  • he had the wolfgang on the 3 album

  • I thought it was ernie ball that made this?

  • @ravenshield56 yup, then peavey, and now Fender gave him a corporate named after him, and he's going strong

  • Eddie is THE MAN!

  • Haha, whoever edited this was a hige VH fan. When they show him demonstrating the volume knobs, they play Cathedral. When they show Ed dancing on his hip, they play Dance the Night Away, and when they say he's getting married, they play Jamie's Cryin.

  • Between that Marlboro voice and half a tongue he needs to kick the cigs once and for all!!

    That, get MA back in the band and do a real reunion tour! IMHO of course : )

  • all this BS, play with al.

  • ehhh .........play the ole junker again. ed, get ahold of dave's song "angel eyes" and work on it. thats gold man, gold. i don't make any money on what i said, but i know what sounds good.

  • I saw VH on the 1984 tour and sat about 20 feet away from the stage on Eddie's side and DLR came out and had that audience of 30,000 in the palm of his hand, truly amazing to see. I choose to remember VH from that era because they kicked soooo much ass that no other rock outfit compares!!! Long live the original line up. And to the VH bros., get some therapy and let go of all this high school BS you are luging around.

  • Ed's feud with Mikey is easy to understand. In the music biz its all supply and demand. Ed has said many times he wants to keep some mystique around the band and not be another Fog Hat, meaning Fog Hat isn't special because you can go see them any time. Mikey, who didn't write any of the classic VH songs, is playing the songs all over the place with Sammy. Ed sees that as ultimately diminishing the public's demand for the band, and thus losing them money.

  • wolfgang is a pretender , eddie always has excuses for mikey , god forbide did u hear any bass on 3?? it was all eddie n it sux

  • SEE THIS:

    Turn Radio into Guitar Amp:

    youtube.com/watch?v=YHfoON7ukS­c

  • WE NEED A BLU-RAY CONCERT OF THIS TOUR ASAP!

  • heeyy is there any DVD from the 2007 tour?? .....

  • @robertcool160 You can find good bootlegs on eBay and on youtube, I bought a few and they are nice, but make sure you ask questions so you don't buy garbage!

  • ed seems very happy now, im glad, hes such a legend and all around nice guy!

  • @skirbyr I have been a fan of his music for 30 years. But I have to say. Eddie and his brother Alex can act fucking ridiculous to people they work with. I notice that they both have very changeable personalities and can act childish. Anybody that talks shit about somebody publicly and bad-mouths them, I instantly lose respect for them. That is low -rent bullshit and they have done it to both Dave and Sammy. Grow up.

  • @guitarthroat agree , but for about mikey, that dude was the fourth and fifth member of the band ,according to many,and look how they treated him

  • @vhenry75 Oh, I agree. Mike Antony was an intregal part of the "Van Halen" sound. His backing vocals are so unique that I think w/o him, they will never be as good. I have no idea why Eddie had so much animosity against Mike either. Who knows. All I know is those brothers act out to lunch these days. Record some new shit and stop trying to live off your early eighties success.

  • @guitarthroat i heard the problems with mike started when hagar got him into producing his hot/chilli sauce. i'm laughing as i type it..but thats what i heard. the VH bros didnt like them being pals.

  • @guitarthroat yr right the VH bros are very low rent as people , edward shows no respect to anyone without the name VH

  • EVH is a cool dude, everyone has had their problems but he's still rockin!

  • I wish Eddie the best. Hope he's in good health. He's the man.

  • Eddie should do a Simpsons Character

  • wait, was that a wolfgang with the frankenstrat paint job in the background? I FUCKING WANT THAT WOLFGANG

  • Van Halen on CNN? that's a rare sight considering that CNN only shows useless politictians and videos of violence on their channel!!!!

  • "pieces" snap off. "buttons" blow up. They need to get someone who knows at least one thing about a guitar before they send them to interview Eddie.

  • i think he would make an awesome monster in a movie i mean listen to his voice wouldn't that be killer!!!

  • What more can you say about Eddie Van Halen ???

    He's the man

  • Too bad they screwed Michael Anthony..... dicks

  • God Bless ALL Van Halen from the crew Mike; Sammy, Dave,Al , Ed etc Soo glad we have the music and the memory of the gigs. The Best Chicks ever fellas,Thanks

  • Can anyone let me know what it being played at about 0.28? Very interested to try it on my own guitar. Thanks!

  • @TheWatcherInTheRing the song is cathedral

  • @SPAWNMETALLICA yeah off diver down album

  • @TheWatcherInTheRing Van Halen's Cathedral. You'll need echo/delay and you'll have to use the volume knob to swell. Read up on Wikipedia about the song and you'll see some of the problem Eddie had lol.

  • Maybe they'll call the new album "Hip bone, tongue, metacarpal soup"

  • Um, hey Eddie: THE STONES STILL MAKE NEW MUSIC!!

  • @faithycoins not really anymore....only Ed makes new music....stones are done

  • @EVHguitarz Stones are done? HUH?!? They are coming out with a new album in 2011 and going back on tour!! 50 years and still going STRONG!! Now, I love EVH, if you saw my guitar room you'd understand how much, but they couldn't even make it to a 10 year anniversary before they (meaning with Diamond Dave) broke up. I love VH and I hope a new album does come out, but it's only "new music" as you say if it sees the light of day. Cheers mate :)

  • whats the song at 0:47?

  • @transformers505 romeo delight

  • why quite the smoking, keith richards hasn't.

  • @zaqary12 Brilliant, WHY quit smoking?????

  • stupid news reporter

  • @chilichomper. I agree, the headstock is wayyyyyy to small.

  • Wow, Eddie has aged bad.  Hope he keeps rock'in!

  • @neeley456 Yeah at 54 he looks really horrible. Has all the hair on his head and the body of a wiry volly-ball player. So he has a few wrinkles on his face - in case you have not noticed most men in their 50's do.

  • green thing.

  • ed is done. sorry to see now. who is next?

  • @theratfarmer There is no next you fool !

  • i saw the wolfgang guitar in the shop. they were selling it for $3,125.00- $3,299.00 + tax.

  • eddie van halen and jimi hendrix were voted by Guitar player international and guitar world the two two most influental guitarist of alltime!!! well ed you and van halen already have just about 33 touring years under your belts so your not that far from the rolling stones.

  • He's a beast. That's it.

  • So the frankenstrat was fucked up?

  • Mighta been f**d up but it was better looking that that wolfgang model. The head stock just irks me the wrong way.

    imho the last headstocks that looked good besides the classics like fender and gibson were jackson, charvel and ibanez, shecter and PRS Dean look good but only on a CFH dimebag model.

    Just my opinion. I am not an expert

  • 1:37 .......lol!

  • that was funny lol\

  • Quit the smokin, and he'll definitley beat out the stones...

  • Eddie will never give up smoking......or the booze......he's a hopeless addict and not a very smart dude.

  • @Hunkola, that kinda sucks... at least he has his skills.

  • ya he`s an idiot ...you idiot he has more brains then you have balls for sure show some respect to a GOD

  • but plays the guitar very very good, hahahahaha.

  • @musictakeslife He doesn't need a voice as long as he has his fingers ;)

  • Quit the smokin, and he'll definitley beat out the stones...

  • ed was "young" up until just after the balance album, then when i bought VH3 in 1998 and opened the cover and saw Ed flexing his bicep, I said "whoa..damn, Ed...youve gotten OLD"....he looked so much younger just only 7 years ago when For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge came out.

  • True, the Wolfgang model has been around for a while, I had one of the originals for many years and loved it, but this model is different. It looks the same but most of the components are upgrades form the original. Eddie just put his name to the first one, this model he tested till he got it right, big difference. The only thing I don't like is the price, 3000.00. But most signature models cost close to that so in that regard it's worth it. Thinking of getting one (another).

  • His guitar has been "Wolfgang" for a long time. Not news.

  • Ed is a maniac, and a genius. Truly gifted. The best...

  • @mesa401 not to mention a badass! in fact as a rock n' roll legend, i mean from his superior musical skills, he is in line with lemmy, iggy pop, keith and so forth.

  • lol At about 0:31, at first I thought his guitar was smoking

  • hahaha that would be hilarious

  • Eddie...really should quit smoking. It may not have been smoking that directly caused the cancer, but I'm sure it didn't help. I don't know where he gets the energy to do those shows.

  • I hate seeing Eddie as a shell of his former self in his glory days. Living the fast life eventually catches up with you, no matter how famous you are or how much money you have. A shame.

  • Really? Your comparing your noob bass playing son with a musical God?

  • ok eddie..we now have you on tape saying youre still gonna put out some new music. that excuse you used of waiting for wolf to get outta school is expiring. we want some new damn music. your fans are starving here!! last studio album was vh3 (bobw was a compilation) and that was 12 yrs ago too long!!! dave, sam, gary, or mitch. i dont care whos on the mic, i just need to hear you shred and kick ass on your axe, brother!!

  • they have a new album coming out in the summer called Encore!

  • Its good to hear that eddie will give the stones a run for their money. :)

  • One of the Wolfgangs I saw had the striped design of the Frankenstein. I wonder why they are not selling it with that design. And yes, Moonman, Eddie RULES!

  • what the hell is that bridge, and im not talking about the floyd rose i saw it in this vid and on the anniversary 2010 issue of guitar world does anyone have any info on it?

  • its drop to hell bridge. i think it tunes all the strings two steps below normal

  • thats what its called! thanks!

  • Shut up, bitch.

  • go that chick is such a bimbo. how does he put up with that shit?

  • Good question.

  • Thats King Edward man,,,,LOve him

  • You all do know that this is pretty much the 3rd incarnation of the wolfgang right? the ernie ball model was not really named wolfgang but the Peavey sure as hell was.

  • I love Eddie :) <3 Thumbs up if you agree. C'mon, If your watching this, I know you agree!! ;)

  • @MoonmanJR I do love Eddie. I'm just so glad to hear he's putting out new music. I was gettin kinda tired of him tring to sell guitars and of all things shoes. Rock and roll needs Eddie Van Halen! Not so much of Diamond Dave, but we need Eddie!

  • what does he call that thing with the volume nob at 0:26

  • Potentiometer. Do a Google search. It's a technical term for volume knob.

  • Comment removed

  • his son & the 'axe'...are named after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

  • the frankenstein will always rule the wolfgang

  • frankenstrat... and u call urself a fan

  • actually, the copyright for the design is named frankenstein, all the EVLH coppyrights for the franky says Frankenstein Artwork c 2009 or w/e so yea

  • i like to call it a frankenstein and i know the name is fankenstrat.

  • Fender had multiple orgasms when Eddie signed with them, sales have broken records ever since!! No pun intended. Thee most influential guitarist in rock and roll history!!

  • I have this guitar (vintage white) and it's hot as hell. It was on fire right out of the box. After a few weeks I turned the tension on the springs out a whole turn and a half. This loosened the tension a little. That is the only adjustment made.

  • Listen to his voice! He should really quit smoke...

  • He had a 1/3 of his tongue removed, quiting smoking now won't fix that, if there is going to be any more damage to his tongue, it's going to happen regardless if never takes another puff or not.

    you mean he should have never started to smoke.

  • Comment removed

  • You knew that...really?

    after almost 40 years of smoking, what would quitting now accomplish?

    Whatever you're smoking, stop. If you aren't smoking anything, you should really think about starting, cuz whatever you're doing now really isn't working out for you.

  • Ok, here´s what I got for you. Whatever my life is good or bad if I smoke or not is not you business. Mind your own business...capisch!?

  • I've played one and it's a really great guitar. I personally don't like how small the neck is and the frets are very small but that's just me and about ten thousand other guitar players out there but other than that, this is a really great guitar.

  • did Ed fart at 1:27?

  • yeah hahahaha.... eddie fart!!!

  • Holy shit he so did, great catch!

  • I want it!!

  • VAN HALEN = GOD

  • Dude's brain is toasted. What a waste. He's getting more and more like Ozzy every time I see him interviewed.

  • play one of those and see if it really does the dance

  • how come i was not watching cnn when they finally did something worth watching?

  • Also can you get the wolgang in the frankenstrat design and whats that song 0:18-0:25 its awesome!

  • Whats the song with the Petentiometer?

  • Potentiometer, Catherdral

  • I love Eddie's music but he sound like a crazy mean old man when talks.

  • It's because he has 1/3 of his tongue taken out and years of smoking has affected his voice.

  • he sounds like clint eastwood in gran torino

  • I love the guy.. he just looks totally laid back then he plays, like it's completely effortless for him. (Which it obviously is, but still!)

  • i love this guys enthusiasm

  • hes considered one of the best guitarists?? he is the best guitarist, period.

  • Eddie van Healthy has a Brown Vice

  • Brown Voice

  • wish i could play as half as good as him

  • lol stones are ok but look like pussy compared to van halen lol... ohh yeah easily easily

  • Asking Eddie to stop smoking ??

    That's like asking the Pope to stop being Catholic........LOL

  • natural skin oil? how......

    do we wanna know? x {

  • For the love of all things holy and good, Ed...quit SMOKING! We all want you around as long as possible!

  • man, eds not lookin so good. my love for the man will never die, but i think all those party years are catchin up with him.

  • hE'D BE PERFECT FOR THE JOKER. lOOK AT 25SEC

  • Eddie Is the best of the best!! Love the man because he is "THE MAN"!!!!! :)

  • gollum much? jeez dude....meth must be a helluva drug...

  • I hope Eddie lives to be 100 years old AND happy!! Thanks Eddie for the colors you've added to this world!! AWESOME!

  • wow, van halen's becoming a family band!

  • yeah. bass, guitar and drums. and wolfgangs kid will probly sing like dave

  • if he said that the regular potentiometers would freeze up. What does he use?

  • he uses HIS equipment loll

  • He probably just gets ones with bigger wires and more insulation and such. Just more durable.

  • hey cool clip, thanks for posting

  • Ok it's a nice guitar but ware is the Frankinstin VH FOREVER

  • no matter what evh still rules, chk out our EVH frankenstrat replica me and my wife are building we have 3 vids now chk them out plz rate and comment thx!

  • where's the frankenstein?

  • Well it could also be his tongue that's cut out also

  • no when he got a part of his tongue removed he had nothing wrong with his words

  • he has such a smoker's voice lol

  • you think? he's been smoking since the early 70s. you can't think he'd sound great

  • Yeah, he sounds kinda like some old itallian mafia guy, kinda like The Godfather! :D

    his voice is badass tbh :D

  • His voice kinda reminds me of the old guy from Gran Torino, lol.

  • clint eastwood?

  • lol yeah sorry brainfart XD

  • Congratulations you know how to read a biography....

  • What ever!

  • "Whatever", my ass.

  • Them Wolfgangs kinda look like Fender Jaguar guitars.

  • the wolfgangs not a new name lol

    just a new type.

    the wolfgang goes back from when the peavey ones where made in 1997

  • I tried one of them Wolfgangs, and they play really well. Too bad they're expensive. I want one of those. I want all the guitars that EVH has except for that dumb ol' Ernie Ball musicman axis guitar. Rock on!
