[NormanRB]

@drumevolution The magic of edit. Funny though, I had never paid attention to that before and I've seen this a bunch of times. lol.

[drumevolution]

@NormanRB haha yes a friend of mine saw it the first time standing behind me and just said that's cut :D OUKEY..... xD

[Chumly409]

@drumevolution Me Wise magic I presume. Smokes just light and place themselves when you're a fretgod.

[PIOJOSOPASTILLERO]

[PIOJOSOPASTILLERO]

sierren el culo mangas de pelotudos si eddie es una leyenda todos los guitarristas como vai satriani eran fan de el! y ni hablen del puto de slash!

[j66hng]

This stuff just bores me!

[b0b1919]

yeah well your life bores me. Get off my planet, you infidel

[Schimmoller]

then go play your stupid fucking nirvana out of tune bullshit

[RockNRollSoldier1]

i cant say whos the best guitarist. there's just too many good ones that arent well known. but eddie's up there with the best. i cant believe he was like #72 on Rolling Stone's 100 greatest guitarists of alll time when Kobain's like in the top 20

[dkrasney]

@RockNRollSoldier1 rolling stones doesn't know shit lol. kobain in the top 100 is nutty LOL

[RockNRollSoldier1]

yeah, rolling stones magazine blows big tim anyway

[eddiehalenvan]

yeah and everybody know something or heard about eddie but whos kobain must be a noob coz I have never heard of him...

[RockNRollSoldier1]

youve never heard of Kobain man? well he was the guitarist of the band Nirvana. he shot himself in the end

[TheGusroca]

I was at this concert. My family is from Argentina and I was 13 and was in the first few rows.. It was awesome, and this is a real trip....

[rodloko07]

Cool

[Enigma3390]

The greatest guitarist in history. Hands down. So influential, so unique. Long live EVH

[MINISLASH0]

you shouldn't be allowed to be this awesome...

[TheInvalidChronicles]

yeah you should be allowed to be amazing :D haha

[HiOctane62]

I was at the concert

[awsmdudz]

[saygoon11]

the most famous Kramer in the world

[MapleLeafAce]

I cannot wait until I can do that kinda stuff too! I've already got intermediate finger tapping down pretty good, now I gotta work on the advanced stuff.

This guy is a rock GOD.

[KEMTEN]

Is this on a dvd? if so can someone please tell me the name

[Robearwgl]

Just some kid sittin' on a stump with no cares in the world, playing some melody on a guitar. he's no noticing those fifteen thousand plus people staring at him. It's like he's in a world of his own, day dreaming. I'm drunk.

[blazerrips91]

wow deep

[YonOtto]

that Blink 182 guy is better XD

[PJWTh3R41N]

if you're talking about playing the guitar then you're a fuckin idiot

[PJWTh3R41N]

erm no they couldn't, they work for disney so they obviously don't have an creditable talent in playing this kind of music and between them probably only know about 4 chords on the guitar

[claxy1337]

your a fucking gay cunt

go fuck your gay pop prices you homo cunt

i really hope you die....your so fucking stupid

[YonOtto]

LOL! troll successful!!!

why dont you guys click my profile and see what I REALLY think of Mr EVH : P

[claxy1337]

ohhh thank god

[xXRageAddictXx]

I love how you said the wrong form of you're.

[housemandoc23]

You are aware that this "80's chump" completely reinvented the way people play electric guitar, and acoustic for that matter, and people like Les Paul praised him as a pure musical genius, and that others like Paul Gilbert, Slash, and numerous others have covered his work and praised him as being the greatest guitarist who ever lived?

K. Just making sure you knew.

[YonOtto]

are YOU aware that i was trolling? and i actually love EVH? XD

[housemandoc23]

You're lucky haha, me and many others were about to textually kick your ass even more XD

VH RULES

[MINISLASH0]

you do it too?

SWEET!

E-five!

[eysionice]

I Love this song, especiallly when my ex-boyfriend used to play it.

[FerchoH4x]

Steve Vai + Yngwie Malmsteen + Van Halen + leet guitars and amps + live in concert = win

[YonOtto]

malmsteen? god no!

[FerchoH4x]

agreed.

Malmsteen is a show off

Better paul gilbert

[giggityguitarist]

whoa, phantasmagoric! When is Satriani and Vai gonna beg him to be on the G3 tour?

[MassGorillo]

Can some1 actually explain to me why is this called 316 ? thanx

[nokomentsEVH]

because his son, Wolfie was born on 16th March and he wrote this song for him. It's special song for me because I was born on 16.03 too :)

[guypersonmanguitar]

isnt from the section in the bible 316?

[nokomentsEVH]

no it's made from the date: 3 stands for march and 16 is 16th day of march

[smartkid351]

nah you've got it all wrong 3:16 is how long it takes to play the song....

[lasrv211]

No its for March 16th. The day his son was born.

[smartkid351]

well when its the full version with all the harmonics.. thats how long it takes

[somewayout]

@nokomentsEVH ME TOO!!!

[dli42395]

@nokomentsEVH 16.03? ur not american are you?

[nokomentsEVH]

@dli42395

of course no, I'm polish ;p

[waliuxD]

@nokomentsEVH there's a video where he plays this with his son

[ChadtheUtahn]

@nokomentsEVH So was I! Makes this song special for me.

[patsyohulaghan]

@nokomentsEVH would love to be his son...imagine geting taught guitar by your father..who just so happens to be the best guitarust of all time.

[frekijsimpson]

@nokomentsEVH ..we care..

[saleens66]

@nokomentsEVH i was always wondering why he wrote this. Thanks for helping me clear it up.

[EVHFreaks]

how'd he get this distortion? its not muddy at all. its still distorted but clean, if that makes sense. how does that work?

[JimmyPage7777]

its all to do with the tone and other things

that he has perfect to his own tuning

[lbm4n]

also when you want it cleaner you can pick lighter

[stolein45]

god like

[hippibluesdude]

the brown sound is amazing it aint what i use but its like muddy and not at the same time

[JimmyPage7777]

he makes it look so easy hes got a natural talent beyond any guitarest besdies jimmy page

if we wasnt fucked up all the time he would be even better

[ersatz01]

double sided tape.

[arrotamiltan]

Did anyone realize that he threw a pick at 1:38 to the crowd and got another one from nowhere?

[ersatz01]

he has about 20 picks stickied onto the face of the guitar.

[arrotamiltan]

WTF?? how did he attached the picks???

[Zaneus92]

double sided tape.

[subzero5620]

nice ciggaretee in headstock just like his hero clapton

[carameljimmy]

He smoked so much that he had to have part of

tongue removed because of cancer.

[thojyout23]

i thought it was because of the metal pick he put in his mouth that got radiated by his amps and shit and he always put it in his mouth and that radiation got him cancer on his tongue

[carameljimmy]

No. Those things do not cause cancer. Cancer,

like most diseases in your body, is actually caused by vitamin deficiencies, coupled with

undigested red meat in your bowels. This why

colon cancer is common in men as they get

older. Cancerous tumors can develop when the body cannot properly eliminate waste. Eddie

smoked too damned much during his life.

When you smoke, this can help aggravate cancer.

[thojyout23]

ok good explanation, dang WIKIpedia tricked me again!

[carameljimmy]

Wickipedia screws some things up, i hear.

[NGenesis]

wikipedia is fucking shit. you allways get some ass hole on there giving a believable explination when its really just bullshit.. this one time though i was doing research for biology and it said the first pancreas transplant was made in 1979 with a cupcake rapper and the sole of a shoe :S FTW!?

[arrotamiltan]

CLAPTON????

Van Halen plays classical and Clapton Blues, WTF are you talking about????

[subzero5620]

if you ever heard and eddie interview he always said eric clapton was his main influence

[arrotamiltan]

HAHA pretty weird he didn't choose the beatles or a more popular among teenagers band

[texasheatwave93]

Eddie liked the fast solos from some of the old Cream songs like Crossroads. thats why he wanted to learn to play so fast.

[arrotamiltan]

Yeah, but Crossroads is a BLues song and not a Classical Music song like the ones EVH was teached with

[texasheatwave93]

right but Eddie didnt do every single things his father said and he had his own taste in music which was what was 'hip' then and that was Cream and bands like The Who and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

"teached"...? taught...maybe

[orangenote22]

lol

[zantoine]

smoking guitar!

[xraytechwill84]

IS THIS FROM "LIVE WITHOUT A NET"

[beenohopps]

no i do not believe this is from live without a net. i just watched it. haha.

[eddiefan36]

YEA IT IS

[dumpstercat]

indeed it is

[vhalenman]

if you look at my account name, you'll see that i count van halen high in rock history, now this was an 80's rock band so it wasnt about eddie lookin like he had passion it was about looking cool with the guitar...i honestly think eddie has passion becasue i saw and interview with him and he said while his bro alex was out on dates he would stay home playing his guitar hours at a time. i think he got some passion. EVH rocks!

[Matt123ttam]

i wish i couldve been at that concert

[ATOMICPUNK27]

same with me

[ledzepmariosrhalendc]

eddie is a gretaest guitarist in technique but jimi hendrix, ritxie blackmore, jimmy page, etc are more "passional" with the guitar and i love the two styles but i think passional is better.

[vhalen333]

this man single handedly turned my love for music into an absolute passion. Thank you Edward and you continue to leave me in aw.

[Lilrocker5150]

Amen

[iamtheroaminggnome]

i love his tone in this video... not to mention every other song and video hes done or been in... EVH RULES!!!!

[boombastic9789]

he threw his pick out

[coachreeve]

slash ftw

[1upguy]

dude thats eddie van halen slash is good but eddies the master of guitar

[Luke5119]

Every time I mention Eddie as my favorite guitarist at my High School people call me crazy, and say Dime Bag, Zakk Wyld, and a bunch of other new guitarist's are better.

You know what I say, FUCK THEM!!!!!!!!

[Prometheus1991]

Well, if it wasn't for Eddie, there wouldn't be Dime, Zak, or any of those other guys.

[negtype13]

Amen.

[zachery01974]

yea eddie is way better

[boombastic9789]

i agree

[CadillacL]

EDDIE VAN HALEN! Master of Guitar

[666tfa666]

[Nerdycarrottop]

I never will be, though. sigh :)

[Nerdycarrottop]

I wish I was as good as he is.

I never will be, though. sigh :)

[PianoSpider]

3:34 - 3:38 = fucking insanity

[Gizmo59o7]

How the F*** does he do that????????

i've trying to figure that out for such a long time now

[Matt123ttam]

who knows

[ccasando94]

its not even hard its just a little trick you just hammer on ad pull off on the 3 and 5 on the G and then slide the side of your hand upthe neck and it hits all the harmonix its very easy.

[matskit0007]

\m/

[Safo8888]

this is one of the best actual guitar solos ever....eddie was so innovative

[FaithFul066]

EVH is the f'ing man, u can't deny.

[matskit0007]

agreed

[michaeljamesmccabe]

Sometimes you need to watch a video like this one to remind yourself how amazing Eddie Van Halen is!

[24faniam]

Many immitate but NEVER duplicate!All hale EDDIE!

[matskit0007]

Just Eddie rockin'...is there anything better?

[sk84life559]

[lilblade99]
