LOL it's hard watching Paul Schaffer dance and play to this song - he's a great keyboard player, but it turns one of the greatest hard rock songs of the 80s into something really cheesy. He's the polar opposite of David Lee Roth coolness LOL. I'm not knocking the players -they are all great musicians - I just have to laugh at Paul's goofiness
@brownbassplayer Neil Jason on the Fender Jazz Bass, one of the sickest groovers out there, one of those guys where everybody's heard him but most people have never heard of him.
That is a cool thing for Eddie to show up & do. And yes, picture technology used to look this fuzzy and washed out, but our TV sets were shit too and we were used to it.
i dont see why your on here complaining like children on what version sounds better if you want to listen the original go listen to the album but how lame would it be if every time they played it it sounded exactly like the album the ppl that play it like ed himself likes to switch it up shit the guy plays the song how many times in a month?
@DougErapps really? these session cats are much better than the alcoholic mess you see to the right, which with exception to a handful of songs has produced pure shit. Van Halen are one of the most overrated bands of all time. Whats that Eddie? Eruption? Not again.
@BDFPA You're a Prince fan. Thats cool, but that kinda precludes you from talking about EVH. He's the greatest rock and roll guitar player ever. You wouldn't understand that, 'Cause yer a Prince fan. Eruption? Again? Yes please. The most important 1 minute and 44 seconds in rock guitar history. Pure and simple. You wouldn't understand that. 'Cause your a Prince fan. I'm not qualified to talk about how great Princes's tiny little balls look in his leopard skin- panties. But you can!
@DougErapps Correct i am Prince fan, however i am have lots of admiration for many other musicians in various genres. "The most important 1 minute and 44 seconds in rock guitar history" Really? Because all i hear is an individual who is merely attention seeking and must at all times demonstrate to everyone his inability to play an instrument and 'shred'. Secondly, you are an atrocious guitar player. Finally, lose the excess weight and shave that pathetic goatee you don't look cool, just childish
@BDFPA You got me looking at Dougs channel and he is actually good, fu*king good. Then I looked at yours and wondered why you'd rant about VH being shred when you have Yngwie links. At least Eddie could write songs - many great songs and they spanned genres. Do you really think 80s rock music would have been the same without VH??? EVH made Ozzy find Randy. That made Iommi change styles. That brought about bands like Maiden. VH brought metal to the Sunset Strip. Wise up kid. Really, wise up.
@BDFPA Thanks for sharing your thoughts on my playing. I get paid to go all over the world with a rock legend and play guitar. I do tons of session work and teach lots people. My solo album "BIONIC" is critically acclaimed and sells like crazy (plug!). I cant argue with you about EVH 'cause yer a Prince fan, ergo, unqualified to discuss EVH, VH, rock music or anything remotely heterosexual. That you dont like my playing pleases me no end! Oh I cut out sugar and lost 8 lbs! The goat stays! ;)
@DougErapps Please direct me to this outstanding album of yours! So from your perspective if anyone like's Prince, someone who may appear, from your point of view, to be a homosexual they immediately lack any opinion with regards to the quality of musicianship? Fantastic, i will remember that one for the future. Please, for the benefit of everyone, expand your field of vision and try not to be such a narrowed minded individual.
@BDFPA You putting words in my mouth now? That's fucked up.... You can insult the way I look or play... whatever.... but dont put words in my mouth. Thats just fucked up. Not cool. You're wrong. All wrong. I'm sorry you had to stoop to doing that shit.... wow...
@DougErapps- Dude, that's one of the most egotistical, homophobic, and completely stupid comments I've seen on youtube. Pull your head out of your ass.
@superlou1s You really have nothing better to do than sit there and read a stupid conversation between two people just fuckin' around?? Get a fucking job. You've made your public comment, to show everybody how PC, liberal, "tolerant", and "enlightened" you are. Well done! I think you're full of shit. Now go fuck yourself.
@DougErapps- I didn't "read" your conversation, I scrolled to the bottom of a youtube page, and saw some piece of shit bragging about his "critically acclaimed album" (which I've never heard of) and then insults MY lifestyle. Go kill yourself.
I saw something different.....Paul is bandmaster of Letterman for a reason is what I'd say first. What he looks and acts like is different from his musicianship which is intense. The guy is a great player. I saw him put that organ right where it needed to be, and when the band heard that, they dug it. And ran with it. Maybe it was rehearsed that way, I dunno. But that was a sweet performance by everybody from my perspective. thanks fer listening....take care.
The Bass player here played better bass than Michael Anthony (cleaner and louder in the mix). But, Michael Anthony's vocals added something special to VH.
@kurt6string yer I guess hey would have rehearsed this , but still reckon Shaffer tried to steel the show and Eddie looked surprised ,the guy looked like someone had brought their nerdy little brother along , complete douche .Wrecked a good jamm
@NickGuitarMalfara13 iff you look realllyy carefully you can see that he is actually playing with his beard not his hands, its an opticall elusion haha
thats what eddie was thinking , he's like doing harmonics and chords , but he kept looking at paul thinking poor dude has to play the organ cause hes bald ! lol
