Stevie must have been delighted how these 2 cocked up wankers rape his great song. Only thing sick about this video are the haircuts of those guys ...
Is that Tim Bogert??? WOW! The Vanilla Fudge?! The guitarist from the group, Vince Martell, was a friend of my family's in the late 1960's and mid 1970's, I was invited to a reunion rehearsal oh the group in 1974, if I remember right! I was lucky enough to listen to about 2 hours worth of the rehearsal, and afterwards, Tim asked me if I was interested in buying his car, a "Tomasin Pantera", for only $6 grand! If you ever read this Tim, you probably remember that too! Thanks for the memories!
Thanks for posting. Very rare indeed. Steve and Eddie are both on. Steve is extremely fast - Gary Moore style licks here and there. Always better live and out of control. Could there be a soundboard recording of this performance somewhere?
Steve was hungry and had something to prove, Eddie was drunk and road weary just looking to have a good time. Let us not read to much into the situation.
Since when is making music a sporting event? All this versus bullshit has got to stop. That IS NOT what REAL music is about my friend(s). It's about communication. We might as well get mad at our grandmothers or children for ending a sentences with prepositions and tell them that they're language technique is lame. If we did that most of these comments on here would fail based on grammar and spelling!
What the fuck are you people talking about? Stevens sounded awful--he was all over the place--and doesn't have a single ounce of soul in him. He looks intimidated because he can't win. Ed's tone and his ability to talk are way more powerful; Steve "shreds" and it goes nowhere. Playing notes in key (barely) and playing them in rapid succession without rhythm or bends is mindless and embarrassing. Anyone can do that--but to talk on guitar is a whole new level of knowing your instrument.
@STORYTASTIC: How so. Please enlighten us with your storytastic opinion. However, before you share. Be aware that these two guitarist have two different techniques, upbringing. influences, backrounds, styles, visions, and attitudes towards the instrument. Let's not forget their own personality that they integrate into their music. IMO no guitarist is better then the other. Their ALL great players. Your opinion counts but is not respected in regards of your ignorant comment.
@EncryptedGod dont get personal Eddie is my ALL TIME FAV PLAYER...Steve doesnt come close to him...but like in several jams I heard and watched Eddie play..Im in my 40s ya know...Steve was just more on THAT nite thats all..dont get personal on NOOB TUBE..there is zero point..all the best
@STORYTASTIC Eddie was pretty demolished i think! I've heard better...but he sure LOOKS like he's havin a good time! i'm sure he's pretty tanked here....rock on Eddie and Steve!
@Lucicsux if you cared to read my post, i said eddie was demolished, as in wasted, and not up to par...i like both Stevens and Van Halen...and your point in "trying" to insult me is?
1978 -1979 and 1980 albums. Befor you open your mouths about how fast steve stevens or malmstein etc. Are. All 3 of thoes van halen albums were released long be for steve stevens or malmstein ever existed.
07989074102, you are so right! Eddie vh is a guitar genius. He dosnt have play fast anymore. He's whay beyound that. Now to you speed freaks who think malmstien/stevens and etc. Are fast players i suggest you give a long listen to van halen's.
Steve handed eddie his ass??? What a load of SHIT! any clown can play fast, its been tasteful which eddie has always been.. every little lead break he had, he really showed what he was all about tone wise and innovation.You can remember all his licks and He was pissing around too! steve was going for it! steve is a great guitarist but no were near EVH.. Just listen to fair waring.. eddie has tons of speed! he just dont like using it for flash!
I think everyone that says Steve Stevens ruled Eddie need to recognize that Steve is really going for it while Eddie is just screwing around and having fun. Steve is playing like he has something to prove, but Eddie is completely content just jamming.
@stratdem Well being fair to Steve he was playing gigs too around the same time.Not the same type of innovator Eddie was but it's not like he started playing guitar 10 years after VH1 like you seem to imply-they are peers.
I gotta say "holy shit!!!" I hate to say this but I'm a huge Eddie fan, infect I started playing guitar many years back cuz of Eddie, but Steve Stevens was by far the best. He had some serious speed on that. Steve Stevens has alway been one of my favs too. Cool man!!!
@itowedin I gotta agree with you on that. More modal range, doesn't rely on the tonic as much as Eddie does. That really keeps things fresh to the ear.
I was at this 1987 Namm show back in January 30, 1987 (2 months right after the last show in San Francisco of the 5150 tour). Michael Winslow was a super nice guy and Eddie was drunk as hell. Although, it didn't affect his playing as shown here. I remembered it was packed and I managed to reserve a spot on the left side of the stage. It was frigging loud and my ear was still ringing after 3 days!!
Whereas Steve seems to be dueling and playing fast licks that don't fit the song at all, Ed seems a little more interest in just playing littles solos that actually apply to the song. You can look at their faces and totally see 2 different agendas. Wrong song for both of them anyway asStevie Ray Vaughn should have shown up for this one.
@mrhuge815 yes SRV was awesome but i must say i like eddies guitar playing more than steve stevens automatic shredding sure dont get me wrong stevens is awesome but i like eddies playing more
Sorry to say but thats about the least rock ive ever seen Eddie look... ever... Looks like a fucking schoolkid. Steve for the win. In my opinion Steve is a better guitarist anyway. Thats still respecting Van Halen. Actually good on you Eddie, those days you played sober or rather at all.
Great video... I would like to see the VH stuff from the 83' US festival...Steve Stevens is one of the most underrated guitarist of the 80's. stevens could hold his own with Van Halen all day long and might just win if it were a competition. Anytime two guitarist from different bands are on stage together there is some form of competition.
Wow, that was great seeing Ed and Steve work together like that. They're two of my all-time guitar heroes, and I still love it if they'd collaborate on an album.
Git schooled?? umm I don think so.. lol ha ha up to the first 3:20 seconds,.. the WHOLE ENTIRE band is playing within the INSIDE of the tempo of EDDIES LEAD PLAYING. in other words.... Steve's Leads are juicy and sexy but know this... the whole time everybody was under the spell and order of EDDIE'S Perfection WAND
Do you even know the song they're playing? Look the song up. The band is playing the song tempo and feel, not eddie's lead. Clearly eddie was the guitar star here but he too was following the song. Who cares anyway, by your statement anyone can tell you are probably close minded and love eddie so much you wish you could marry him and be but f#$ by him.
steve stevens always made guitar playing look very gay while eddie was always smiling and jumping around. he made it look as fun as it really is. stevens is good but thats why i never liked him
I think Ed got schooled as usual in these situations. There's only so many tapping, harmonics and tremolo tricks you can do before it all starts sounding the same.
I love Eddie & Steve, great vid. But does Eddie EVER shut up??? Even when the band stops, he's still making noise- I'dhate to be in a rehearsal room with that guy :-D
This was early 1985, probably January or February. You can always tell what time period it was in the past by Eddie's hair and look. He had just cut his hair at the begining of 1985. This is cool. I never seen this before. Eddie is burning and tearing it up as usual. Eddie and Steve are friends. Steve Stevens is a shredder, too. It's cool seeing both trading licks. I had a smile on my face listening to them. Thanks.
@cvjucla3 It was actually right after the 5150 tour had ended,so it was around 86 or 87.I know this because I still have the original guitar world with the pic and info.Not trying to be a smartass.
Yea...Stevens is the hottest! He has been totally overlooked and under rated...Buy "Memory Crash" if you want to hear something really incredible...Or just listen to a couple of tracks here...I have the CD in my truck though...
@dwilcox21, Memory Crash was awesome but check out both albums he did in Bozzio Levin Stevens. If I was stuck on an island and could bring only two cds, both of them would be coming with me.

I think Ed got schooled as usual in these situations. There's only so many tapping, harmonics and tremolo tricks you can do before it all starts sounding the same.

@BamusicTUBE Ed is an attention hog, if he wasn't he wouldn't be Eddie Van Halen.

This was early 1985, probably January or February. You can always tell what time period it was in the past by Eddie's hair and look. He had just cut his hair at the begining of 1985. This is cool. I never seen this before. Eddie is burning and tearing it up as usual. Eddie and Steve are friends. Steve Stevens is a shredder, too. It's cool seeing both trading licks. I had a smile on my face listening to them. Thanks.

@cvjucla3 It was actually right after the 5150 tour had ended,so it was around 86 or 87.I know this because I still have the original guitar world with the pic and info.Not trying to be a smartass.

Nice mullet eddie.
I bet it was a great honor for Steve playing up there with eddie considering both of their backgrounds. By far two of my favorite guitarists ever.

Yea...Stevens is the hottest! He has been totally overlooked and under rated...Buy "Memory Crash" if you want to hear something really incredible...Or just listen to a couple of tracks here...I have the CD in my truck though...

@dwilcox21, Memory Crash was awesome but check out both albums he did in Bozzio Levin Stevens. If I was stuck on an island and could bring only two cds, both of them would be coming with me.
