  • omg ssswag

  • And also ... to every dipshit on this thread who claims to be able to play Eruption... post a video and prove it, or STFU. We all know you're full of shit. Being able to play Eruption, especially at concert volume, doesn't mean flailing away on the arpeggio parts, with huge screeches of amp noise during transitions. Ask any professional electric guitarist alive what they think of Eruption and they'll say the same thing - it's a masterpiece and it remains influential 35 years later.

  • @ifutureman amen brother...Cheers to you, and may you have a happy new year! EVH is a God of the guitar

  • @ifutureman youtube doesn't require anyone to so tough titties. What everyones free to do is speak their minds about videos' contents here, and to some, Eruption sounds like stale random wank. So where are the quotes of pros saying this is the greatest ever? And that critics are all homosexual minorities needing die according to you, Eds peer, and Ed?

  • Hey fellas, y'all should check out the vid we just posted of our lead guitarist showin off a little bit. Let us know what we think, we invite all feedback! hahaha

  • a shame that Jimi never saw this....as he was the master at absorbing other styles....and then doing something special with them...

  • Why is this guy famous?????? He jus makes noise. He doesnt even do any runs. He jus taps the same string over nd over nd over again. Buckethead is 1,000,000 times the guitarist EVH is. Nobody taps like BH.

  • @StudentOfLee why buckethead didnt invented tapping than???

  • Comment removed

  • @lukaa9 Cuz he was only like 9 wen EVH hit the scene. He may have invented tapping, but BH revolutionized it. Lets see EVH do 8 finger tapping, or neck traversing runs, or ANY runs at all for that matter.

  • @StudentOfLee I think he could do it, afther all he is the best guitarist afther Jimi Hendrix :D

  • @StudentOfLee Eddie didn't "invent" tapping. We'll never know who was the very first one to do it, but Jimmie Webster was doing it in the 1950's; and even in rock music, Harvey Mandel (Canned Heat) was doing it by 1970; Steve Hackett was doing it on Genesis recordings as early as 1973. But it's fair to say that Eddie revolutionized tapping. Buckethead refined it, but lets not forget but Stanley Jordan did either. And Paganini was doing it on violin in the 1800's.

  • @ifutureman Yea I wasnt sure if he did. Thx for the info, good to kno. But I dont think EVH revolutionized it, I think BH did. He's the only one I've seen do 8 finger tapping

  • @Lshsucr I've seen the above video and can't help but think of ricer cars. Its one loud and overdone screechfest of fart pipes that goes nowhere musically.

  • @Lushsucr (sic) your blathering stupidly where youtube invites to "respond to this videos" duh "Steiner reich LOL ED IS GOD" This wankfest is quite stale by now

  • Lol, click on the 2x speed button, totally sounds like Galaga

  • @Lushsucr due to asinine posts like yours, Eds forced to hire security to keep you out of his life and home, and who can blame him, Your IPs aren't the topic here you idiotic dumbshit, its Eds wanking ste. Best I can say about this wank is that its a musical ricer car

  • Rik Emmitt of Triumph did exactly the same style of soloing and playing on Triumph's debut album exactly two years BEFORE Eddie VH did it on Van Halen's debut, yet Eddie recieves all the credit for pioneering the style because Triumph's album wasn't released much in America....yea I'd say Eddie gets a lot of credit He doesn't deserve. Lotta People don't know that.

    Much like Chess, America hated it until Fischer got popular, they were like "Chess Is awsome bcuz Fischer is Awesome"

  • @NixxerJixxerWixxer from Ed's personal friends and (sic) piers I've learned that freedom of speech is sacrosanct, holy, etc. except when "fags" and "niggers" do it youtube, then EVHs jihad bursts forth with death threats and insults, for the glory of Ed, who is God.

    Meanwhile Eds wank keeps getting staler.

  • @Adnoydall that's because of his overblown ego contentment, much like Yngwie, these are old dogs that refuse to learn new tricks. The only difference is that Yngwie is good at what he does and EVH isn't.

  • Comment removed

  • @Lushsucr lol you keep stupidly blathering about my having no life yet you talk about visiting me. Whats taking so long? Thats some kind of dim, rote, asinine blather. This is exactly what non-Americans typically so despise about generic Yanks - The lies, filth, violence, hypocrisy "freedom of speech" in USA is so much shite.

  • @Lucicsux You are one ignorant American hahaha If Eddie is your father (bcuz u been defending him to death) then I feel sorry for you for boy

  • Comment removed

  • @Lucicsux Your Daddy sucks, just look at him, he looks like a wasted hobo

  • @Lushsucr yes, "your" a Yank: you have nothing but cock on the vulgar half brain.

  • Comment removed

  • @Lushscur every asinine non-post so of yours complains about "Lucic sucking" cuz you're a wholly generic white male idiot. Now you're back to blathering stupidly about the non-topic of homosexuality. Eds gotta spend so much more money unnecessarily on security cuz of you.

  • Comment removed

  • @NixxerJixxerWixxer generic fans lavishly huff the stalest fart their idols queeze out betwixt their hemorrhoids, I'm of the opinion that if it smells, sounds, feels, tastes like it, it probably shite, and deserves to be called as much. Or little. Eds accumulated his share of stale air and its time for something new..

  • @NixxerJixxerWixxer What on earth are you talking about? Nothing on Triumph's first album sounds anything like Van Halen (which was released a little over a year after Triumph, not two). There's no tapping on it. The guitar tones are not similar at all. Rick Emmett's speed (at least on the early stuff) didn't even approach EVH. Emmett has proven to be a elite guitarist, no question. But your claims are way off the mark. And dissing Eddie, well that's just foolish.

  • Revolutionizing the lame tapping technique made him lazy to learn new tricks, heck he did not even invent it. EVH is not a versatile player, he only plays what he knows (and he obviously isn't even the best at what he does)

    I feel sorry to all these Gullible DumbAsses who look up to him as a fucking God

  • His tapping technique is rather dumb, Why the heck would you tap using your index finger and use your mouth as a pick holder in the process?.... Way too much hassle

    The likes of Paul Gilbert, Reb Beach, Malmsteen, Marty Friedman and many others; All use their middle finger to tap while pick sits comfortably between the index and thumb ready to pounce between intervals seamlessly

    DOESN'T THIS MAKES SENSE, EDDIE?

  • @NixxerJixxerWixxer You cant blame him, he basically reinvented tapping.

  • @NixxerJixxerWixxer Its cooler to put the pick in your mouth

  • Comment removed

  • @Lucicsux Your GOD is overrated, while his playing was revolutionary way back then, he got soooo comfortable and complacent he never practiced harder, 15 year old kids of today would run circles around this crackhead. Accept the fact the he's NOT that good, never will, he's just an OK guitar player. Oh, go watch his recent concerts, he's still over-using those solos that he created 20 years ago, Never had the time and creativity to create something new. EVH sucks dude, admit it

  • Comment removed

  • @Lucicsux You're a fucking idiot for idolizing a guitar player who isn't even that good

  • Comment removed

  • @Lucicsux I'm expecting you to change your crappy Avatar now that I have educated a 14 year old kid, learn your stuff kiddo and quit spending Van Halen albums using your parents' money

  • Comment removed

  • @Lucicsux I understand that you feel bad about all of this, but what can we do? You idolized a crappy guitar player, stupid stalking dumbfuck, Now go stalk me to death GULLIBLE Rock fan..and watchya Mom, she might be fucking your friend

  • @Lushsucr you just cant resist injecting dim, rote, asinine blather about male on male fellatio between Eds virtual legs on youtube, which demanded you refrain from that when you signed your worthless name under their terms. Ed in turn is forced to spend your vulgar worship money to hire security to keep you out of his home and life

  • @Lucicsux Rik Emmitt of Triumph did exactly the same style of soloing and playing on Triumph's debut album exactly two years BEFORE Eddie VH did it on Van Halen's debut, yet Eddie recieves all the credit for pioneering the style because Triumph's album wasn't released much in America....yea I'd say Eddie gets a lot of credit He doesn't deserve. Lotta People don't know that.

    Much like Chess, America hated it until Fischer got popular, they were like "Chess Is awsome bcuz Fischer is Awesome"

  • @NixxerJixxerWixxer good day sir, my son Kendall, better known as Adnoydall asked me to ask you if you would date him on a regular basis. he is shy and rarely leaves the confines of his shelter and keyboard. He is a handsome 50 yr old male, although he doesnt work, he has high potential to become a good wife. Feel free to email him directly for all of your needs in any aspect. Adnoydall, or my son Kendall will indulge in your requests. Thank You

  • weed and skill is all it takes xD

  • so much coke!

  • If you play Eruption backwards, all EVH haters will spontaneously combust. That is all...

  • @bcorc001 ? nobodys hating EVH, per se, they're hating the wank he perped on his guitar. Big difference

  • Comment removed

  • @Lushsucr "your" the classic total idiot bringing up Elmo, Kendall and crystal meth like a generic white male Yank, meanwhile the topic is still Eds stale wank.

    Eds gonna phone in his stale wanky shit and you'll suck his ass dry and shiny no matter what

  • @CatchinProjection Well i don't think hes a God but i do think he is worth of Legends (guitar heros) because he does inspire many players, even today. and yes His style did make rock different and yes maybe not better because everyone in the 80s wanted to be the "next eddie" but i think that Eddie's style was so personal and just a perfect extension of himself that all the wannabe eddie clones just couldn't touch him and nail "eddies sound and just became full on shredders with no sense of music

  • @ZombieUnderground69 again, I agree with you. Ultimately my mix tapes got some VH material on 'em I like and none of the stuff I dislike, I just won't blindly adore any song based solely on who wrote / performed it. Those were some good times and some bad times, back when.

  • @CatchinProjection i agree as well because I may be a fan of a particular artist but I wont just nut hug any song them make because THEY wrote it or performed it. I look at musical content and think about what i like when i listen to a particular piece of music. and there will never be an artist that i listen to and just say "i love all their songs" because each artist always has those few songs here and there where its like "Meh.. it could have been better."

  • @ZombieUnderground69 in retrospect, I think having to wait seemingly forever to hear new music via AM/FM radio, or see bands live, scrounging up money for tickets, traveling to far-away cities and dealing with bootleg markets was part of the adventure that made music fans loyal to their favs - making excuses for their oft crappy live playing. If it looks like it, sounds like it, feels like it, etc. its probably shit, so call it shit and find better stuff. So easy nowadays

  • Easleytee,

    i dont think anyone out there is saying Eddy is STILL the best . but following rock for the past 40 years, he was one of the most influential right along with Page, Hendrix and so on. at the time he BLEW everyone away, it was Sick ! you shoulda been there!

  • ed copys jimmy page an he admits it

  • to the ppl that are dising this.....id like to see you do better....or anyone for that matter

  • @capyglenn its not that hard at all, but wholly pointless. Whens a good time to sit around and wank random shit together?

  • Comment removed

  • @Lushsucr blathering dimly rotely stupidly to yourself about yourself forcing Ed to fence in his home hahaha all made with skill and pride in the USA - meanwhile the topics Eruption. Egad, what a wankfest.

  • @Lushsucr when and where did you hear this new album, all cut and finished? I have reason to believe it will contain all too familiar wanky filler which makes it mortal wankery after all.

  • @Adnoydall ok, u do something like this, send it to me, and i will believe you

  • thats just fucking ridiculous.. other worldly..

  • @crabsinthebucket

    I can name 20 guitarist off the top of my head currently playing who bury Eddie.

  • @Easleytee wow, really! do you have time to name them all? pleeeeease! and tell a cool story while you're at it?

  • @Easleytee How many that weren't influenced by Eddie's playing? None?

  • @ZombieUnderground69 thats an untruth. Virtually every lazy wanker who goes for mass over class was influenced by Eruption and related wankery, others will resort to it when appropriate.

  • @CatchinProjection what the hell are you talking about?

  • @CatchinProjection In addition he Influenced an entire generation of guitarists with his techniques and explosive acrobatic style of playing... which gave way to the 80's guitarist... I'm not sure if its an age issue or if you dig groups like the Village People but i dont understand your argument at all bro...

  • @ZombieUnderground69 I like much of Eds playing fine except for his shit wank, like Eruption. I dutifully learned to play it when it came out, but never found much reason to sit around and wank just to make "fast noise", or cram wank into pop tunes to make 'em appear "heavy metal". Ed's not like the proverbial ton of lead hitting you, hes like a ton of aluminum foil and cans fluttering down from on high. Sure, a ton is a ton is a ton, but Eds still not heavy metal, I feel

  • @CatchinProjection He's not Heavy metal. Ed is Ed. You are narrow sighted if that's all you see out of Ed's playing. Eruption is Ed's warm up exercise that his band mates and producers wanted him to record. you have no idea what i'd give to have memories of having lived in the age where i can see the rock legends actually play. Here you are, you sit and internet troll on someone who helped shape a new generation of guitar players. From one guitarist to another, you disappoint me. Ed is a legend

  • @ZombieUnderground69 I've been saying that Ed is more than Eruption, less than God, but his fans disagree, and vulgarly so. They insist Ed is heavy metal shred, and its really all they want to hear from him.

    I have memories of countless younger 80s players turning to wanky shit a la Eruption/Jump, which ruined R&R, in my opinion. The goal shifted from finding timeless "Smoke" or "Stairway" to filling the minutes with wank and sustain, wearing asinine costumes a la Sister

  • @ZombieUnderground69 the Crue has wild hair, sings insipidly about nothing, does a lil tapping in Dr. Feelgood, so they're gods too.

  • @CatchinProjection that might make more sense if i actually said anyone who taps is a god? All I'm saying is that Eddie was way ahead of the Curve, his first album dropped in 1978 and his style was wildly different from Led Zeppelin and such. Eddie became the future of guitar playing and basically helped make the 80's guitar hero.

  • can people shut the fuck up and listen to the music ..hes famous and rich and your not

  • Christ, 3 years later and you fuckers are STILL going at it?

    Going back to my life now. I'll peek back in 2012 and see if the war is still going on.

  • @Lushsucr Lucic isn't on the video, neither is "Kendall", "Bulger", or your flaccid penis you wave at wanky old Ed. I see him wanking around something fierce like this is still new and exciting as if it said something beyond check out my ricer cars fart pipes! my stereo goes to 11! watch my tires sqeual! What I see is this musical ricer car standing around in a Walmart parking lot surrounded by white males impressed by rattling plastic imitating heavy metal thunder. Jumps up next haha

  • @CatchinProjection Adnoydoll Kendall, aww kendall, you still mad princess? Its ok if you wank to this God, he is the best the world has ever seen, he humbles at your homage, its all good princess. But, your racial slurs, and pro violence againt teens, posts, on dozens of other videos are not acceptable. I am waiting for about 20 more, so I have an equal 100 to submit to youtube, for a ban, we hope, the fans of EVH which you stalk daily. EVH is God

  • @Lushsucr the only princess is in your closeted mind, not on the video above. And "your" the complete schmuck mad enough uselessly try and sabotage my responses by posting yer generic idiotic racial slurs, etc. This is why Ed spends your money to lock you out of his life.

    Eruption sure is some stale wank by now.

  • Love ya' Eddie!! New tunes and tour in 2012!!

    Van Halen Rules baby..always will!! ♥

  • @CatchinProjection Coward, stop hiding behind this Cathin'Feces channel. Use your Adnoydall one so the whole world will know how psychotic you are.

  • @CatchinProjection What are you talking about all these years, you picked a fight with me this past Janurary, it is YOU who has been trolling for years, as Adnoydal, then edsnotgodable, then edisstillnotgot, then Adnoydall, then TheBulliesAreCowards, and now this wierd Catchin'Herpes, whoch makes no sense.

  • Hell yes!

  • My new ringtone.

    Beyond Epic.

  • If you died and went to the pearly gates and Saint Peter said you have to beat Eddie Van Halen in his prime at a guitar battle and you were aloud to have any dead or living guitarist powers Who would you choose? And it can't be Eddie Van Halens

  • @Heavymetallist11111 easy xD ritchie blackmore

  • @Heavymetallist11111 Heck, if I ever had the chance to meet (let alone beat, at guitar) Eddie Van Halen..that would be about as close to Heaven and the Pearly Gates as I could ever hope to get.. and that's not likely to happen..lol :D..might look for Les Paul though, in that particular situation..just sayin.. ♥

  • @Heavymetallist11111 ..or Eric Clapton...

  • @Heavymetallist11111 guthrie govan

  • @Heavymetallist11111 If you beat Eddie in a guitar battle, you already have van halens powers!

  • @Heavymetallist11111 Andres Segovia, Joe Pass, Grisha Goryachev, Paco de Lucia, Randy Rhodes, Ritchie Blackmore, and that's just the first six that came to mind. Van Halen is good, but he's nowhere near the best.

  • eddie is eddie :D
