  • Steve jordan?

    HE played with Van Halen?

    

  • Yesss Bring back the rock organ!!!

  • Wow! I'm glad that the session really sounds list a jam!!!

    Paul has hairs!!!

  • chuck norris on bass!?

  • where's the singer?

  • Its really lovely to see Eddie enjoy the organ player his fun..

  • woot Slam Dunk

  • Eddie was rocking in 1984 !

  • Is anyone else in shock that steve jordan is playing with evh...?!?!?

    

  • @JamesCornelisonMusic Steve owns. Not a fan of his drum sound in a rock context, though.

  • eddie is thinkin i wanna challenge god to a guitar face off..last time i won too easily

  • Cool. But, why is Mick Jagger playing Eddie's guitar?

  • 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

  • To be honest, Eddie looks like he is having fun.

  • THIS SONG IS FUCKING AWESOME

  • Eddie kinda looks like Marty McFly :D

  • The mullets live on in our dreams!

  • @SHEEPSTER1000 A mullet is Billy Ray Cyrus.

  • Actually, this is, probably, the best band Eddie ever played with. True.

  • Totally effortless on Eddie's part,One of the all time guitar greats

  • @ArmyRangerish yeah, Keyboard!

  • damn that bass got TONE

  • @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.

  • Eddie is one of the ALL TIME GREATS!!!

  • KEYBOARD?!

  • Fucking love 0:36 ! :D

  • 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?

  • Paul Shaffer = clown.

  • Steve Jordan? Shit, back in the days...

  • This is the lamest version of this song ever

  • Shot Out to the Bass Guitarist for doing his best to keep up with Eddie .. Chuck Norris Would Be Proud

  • chuck norris bass rules

  • this version rocks much more :D

  • anybody notice paul , he rocked

  • wow....eddie is soooooo relaxed.....I enjoyed VH concerts sooooo much in the 80s.....

  • @webgazda

    Oh im so sure, this is probably the first time you've ever even heard this song you cunt

  • Comment removed

  • He only shakes Eddie's hand, and for a long time.

  • Liked but the rythm guitar was not necessary...

  • Eddie is thinking "just this song between being sober and drunk" =)

  • You can really hear Eddie's delay sound on this song @2:22

  • Paul Schaffer is the best thing about this video... so so good

  • roy west

  • Paul Schaffer stars on The David Letterman show with David's side kick Eddie Van Halen.

  • Why arent there any vocals?(keyboard saved the day!)(and vh obviously..)

  • @JamieBanni I thought i saw himm

  • Steve Jordan you fucking HERO.

  • Lol whats up with the piano man?

  • haha! its steve jordan!! xD

  • paul haffer is in hi element  :)

  • Artie Fufkin gets an amazing sound on those keys ;)

  • david letterman young :O

  • holy fuck never heard a hammond like that before!

  • this is how session cats and chart readers typically fuck up a perfectly good rock tune. Painful....

  • @DougErapps couldn't agree more!

  • @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 Oh dear, is someone going to cry? My shoulder is always available for you.

  • @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.

  • How they don´t kill de Van Halem whem one notes not sound right!? Hauhauhauh !!!

  • That sounded great and finaly I get to hear a good bass player is backing Eddie!

  • Eddie is thinking "this is so gay"

  • @jevans9442 eddie is not thinking...he is playing!

  • oh shit!! steve jordan freaking sick drummer

  • Maestro...Grande Eddie!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Man, how bored was eddie to come and do a DLR tune on his own haha? xD

  • 9 people here prefer Justin Bieber :D

  • Eddie always made it look so easy.

  • wait which van halen lineup was this from?

  • @deelio777 End of Mach I 1984

  • shafers rockin the joint

  • is that steve jordan behind the kit?

  • Paul and his hootie head...yuk!!!

  • esse cara é muito bom

  • The most epic song of Gran Turismo 4

  • I love that it's not Eddie thats in the spotlight it's the keyboard player!! :D

  • The Original "World's Most Dangerous Band".

    Pre-Will Lee and Anton Figg.. I love Steve Jordan on drums!

    Cool post. Gotta love the youtubeski.

  • i love how he like totally plays and never looks at the guitar until solo tapping time

  • Way to walk all over your guest's playing...turn down.

  • letterman: same voice, different hair colour.

  • instrumental? well, its better than having sammy hagar...

  • @TheRealErob fuck u asshole, sammy hagar has a great voice.

  • @redgibson1 But when you hear him sing classic VH, you just wish it was DLR. His style is crap for the old school songs.

  • @TheRealErob why don't you like sammy hagar?

  • @TheRealErob thats not saying much lol

  • @TheRealErob fuck no!

  • @TheRealErob you're stupid. Roth is great but so is Hagar. this would've been much better with vocals.

  • Paul Shaffer is the BIGGEST GEEK,..... in music !!!

  • @427HISS I agree, he dances like an idiot. How else do you think he gets the cum out of his ass?

  • Ed's always got that smile going. It must be fun being that good.

  • HE IS PLAYING IN STANDARD TUNING!?!?! OMG!!

  • who are the five peeps who disliked this vid?

  • Look at Steve Jordan - rock is not his bag at all. He really doesn't look comfortable, and he fluffs a couple of the fills.

  • This is so freekin coo Paul is jammin and ed nails everythingl!!!!

  • Damn it he is soo fuckin good!!!!!!

  • ....steve jordan played with van halen? ahahaha

  • so lets see here we got eddie on lead, bill murray on rhythm, chuck norris on bass, joe satriani on keys, and eddie jordan on drums. nice combo

  • SHIT

  • I've never seen Paul rock out so damn hard.

  • @reviewhouse because he's chuck norris, why else?

  • No vocals?

  • @muzikscud23 it was only eddie from the band there, the other guys are from lettermans show

  • Wow Ed looks SOOO BORED!!!!!!!!!

  • awesome

  • holy shit! it's steve jordan on drums, same guy that's playing with John Mayer atm! what a legend!

  • the guitarist looks like bill murray (not ed)

  • @airdanny791 yeah

  • Go Chuck Norris, roundhouse kick the shit out of that bass

  • Great version.

  • SOOO 80's lol

  • wow the drummers cymbals are well high...

  • 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.

  • Eddie Van Halen is a just a pure, natural guitarist, and just hits all my guitar targets....eddie would go.

  • This drummer is Steve Jordan!!!!!!

  • great track... check out my cover.....

  • Paul shapher  " im cool hey guys?????"

  • Paul = Moron

  • troppo ficooo!!!!!!!!!!

    CIAO

  • 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.

  • Fuck Paul shapher off , he wrecked this jamm .

  • @Quontomleeep - but it looks like Eddie and the band liked it to me....Wrecked the jam? not to me, those guys were into it and I can hear it!

  • @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

  • and what can you do , you're on live TV Eddie is laughing at the guy IMO .
