Eddie Van Halen '94

[slayterise]

he could do with some new jeans

[HalloweenFan011]

a legend

[KESH813]

First text comment in a year. YEAH!

[GIO5000]

in rolling stone's "The 100 Greatest Guitarist of All Time" Van Halen is rank 70 while the over-rated Kurt Cobain in rank 12

[Reggie1971]

Rolling Stone is a pile of crap. They panned Led Zeppelin's albums and tried to ignore the band when they were in their heyday. Anyone with an appreciation of great guitar will look at EVH's 70 rating as laughable.

[DarkfnTemplar]

That rating system was ridiculous. Frank Zappa was in the 50's for christ sake. Putting EVH at 70 was an insult.

[necktwister]

EVH should be on the top 20 list of the greatest guitarists of all time!

[vanhalenkid]

Nobody cares how complex your music. The only people who care about that are the people who can really appreciate music. What the average person wants to hear is a good song not a complex composition. This is why van halen is great, they just make rock n roll. They have flash, great music, and showmanship. They know exactly what theyre doing.

[r0ckaf0x]

Eddie Van Halen is AMAZING

[applesauc3]

at 0:12-0:15 how does he do that that ould beso awsome if there was like a tab or vid to teach you that

[Thundermaned]

It amazes me that the crowd applauds the loudest at the easier parts... seems complexer music isnt that much wanted =|

[volumeguy]

"complexer music" seems a bit amazing to me too. I hate when I watch Jeopardy and the questions aren't difficulter--or more so.

[smarty3333]

Thx to Dutch colonization we all got some great heavy metal music (Alex and Edward have a Indonesian mother)

[nicholasclark12]

edddy is fucking amazing

[Mike270927]

Good. I hate David Lee Roth' ass he is an egocentric no music talent mofo, he was just a showman, he was always jealous of Eddy because Eddy is a real musician and he is not. Sammy Hagar is the voice of Van Halen, a real musician not a clown like Roth

[gymman1031]

Bad news! It was announced on 02/20/07 that Van Halen's supposed 2007 tour with Roth has been postponed indefinitely!

[NamAim1991]

I've only now just learned to play eruption, but of course it's not exactly like the original. Eddie pretty much introduced tapping to the rock world (or at least the use of it for thrashing). I'd definetly put him up in my top ten favorite guitarists.

[zipfezoaga]

One of the gods, play on a guitar like Jesus walks on water!

God damn kick ass Eddy!

[gutfarmer]

PLEASE READ - a big fat ape is going to dump a load in your toilet and throw himself in the back seat of your toyota land cruiser

[farrenmcdonald]

A-HEE-HEEEEE!!!! I'm still laughing at 'gutfarmer''s response! Obviously I'm not the only one annoyed and perplexed with the onslaught of juvenile chain letter ploys. Hee-heeEEEEEE! Good one, buds.

[jonsi666]

The only cool thing in this solo is 1:06 man that shit takes off!!

[Selangorian]

rubbish

[yamahayzmotocross1]

he got alot slower with his fingers cuz of his cancer..but it still is a guitar GOD!!

[DoDaDa111]

Um, I think Alex is getting a little old to be drumming shirtless. Also, Eddie looked WIERD then, but the looks "normal" now.

[applesauc3]

dont be fooled that is eddie he looks different but thats him

[GeorgVanHalen]

jkinfsss1

Even Eddie has gotten old :P

But still kicks ass =)

[jkinfsss1]

that doesnt really look like eddie.

[dfieldman96]

[iwasnormalonce]

[geebhatia]

[leidenpunkrock]

[3Nails1Cross4Given]

Eddie...The Man.

[malekhedayat]

gives me chills at 1:15

[tasotto]

b00n

[udrivemeupthewall]

Comparing Van Halen to Hendrix is totally ridiculous its like comparing apples to oranges, both are from different era's and both have different styles, but still completely relevant, and hugely influential, its not a contest anyway, its whatever moves you.

[Junglemanchild]

comparing guitarists is ridiculous

[trivium123c]

oh god this guy blows monkey sweat sacks watch my video to see how its done:)this means you too richie

[GibsonGuy05]

it's a shame that that great solo was ruined by haggar coming onto the stage

[LmAoLoLRoFl10]

I preffer eddie than  jimi

[Sonicdreamcast]

That, my friend, is Eddies' brother, Alex Van Halen.

[GenocideLambofGod]

did they find that drummer in the sewers he looks like a freakin rat

[varned1]

ahahah, he does look a little ruogh around the edges

[jeffbeck147087]

I got an eruption in my pants.

[RobWaade]

is this available as a dvd?? if it is can u give me the name of the dvd and or a webby link to somewhere i can buy it ;)

[salisburysteak123]

has anyone noticed that this song is played different live almost every time....

[salisburysteak123]

trivium...why are you calling evh a fag???? trivium is good but corey doesnt compare to evh....if you think black army boots and black nail polish doesnt make someone a fag i cant think of anything that does..(i love trivium though) (their screaming was better)

[kodman138]

not to shabby but defintely not the best guitarist that ive seen,Hendrix would waste him in a guitar solo anyday

[Hog4n]

best guitar player ever

[RobWaade]

agreed. hes a great player

[Jk2playah]

He is the best and cmon this guy fuckin made tapping!

[ascendancy2]

this coming from a person with TRIVIUM in his name...go arse kiss twat heafy's ass nd leave the good stuff to the professionals.

[trivium123c]

yet you have ascendancy in your name?

[metalmanm7]

Yes EVH is a good guitar player and made finger tapping a house hold name,but that shit now really isnt that technical if you compare it to death metal. As far as the drumming went for rock n roll its a fucking joke in my book just basic drum beats that you can learn as your first drum beat.

[evhgl87]

house hold name? son listen here, he invented tapping. not one single person was doing what he was doing back in 84-86. and if it isnt so technical, i would be more than happy to give you a guitar and let you demonstrate "technical death metal? if there is such a fucking thing.

~>EVH<~ forever. suck on it.

[sec101]

stop this homo-tlak please. EVH is definately one of the most important guitarplayers ever, no doubt about it.

[JMDchubsy]

maybe trivium123c needs a little dick up his asshole

[trivium123c]

is that what you want to happen to me or is it that you just wana watch it happen you faggot you say you want a dick in someones ass but mabe the only reason is so you can jack off to it

[Naturality]

Well, in the quick sense anyway, most tapping before was every now and agin in blues, not as fast as he does, so he reinvented it

[Naturality]

Nah, if your gonna go into terms of inventions Leo Fender was the most revolutionary but yeah EVH pretty much invented the tapping technique

[trivium123c]

only the fast fingers when there going up your ass hole you faggot he twittlediddles your cock dosent he

[Guitarh3ro1988]

damn, you really dont like van halen do you? Shit. I can think of someone else who else who revolutionized the electric guitar more though! Les Paul.

[Laihohatecrew13]

who cares what he looks like not the best player ever but he kicksass and revolutionized electric guitar.

[trivium123c]

eddies a fag

[richard8su]

I'm willing to bet all of YOUR favorite bands are in some way influenced by this "fag".

[trivium123c]

maybe a little but hes still a fag.

[blakemetal]

@richard8su I gave you a thumbs up. I can't believe your comment hasn't been "thumbs up'd" in 5 years!?!

[Lucicsux]

@trivium123c just because you want to suck Eddie's cock, doesnt make him the fag, nice try at reverse psychology...maggot....EVH is God

[satchhadley]

trivium123c-learn to play the guitar before you call thebest player a fag....what does that make you???? a bitch???? eat a dick.....

[trivium123c]

he may be badass at guitar but he looks like a fag.

[Fezz46]

satchhadley learn a little about guitar bafore you call this fag the best player

[trivium123c]

eddies a fag

[wolfgang29]

[TRu2Realkill]

Eddie Is The Fastest Fingers Alive
