Eddie and Alex Van Halen - Respect The Wind

[wizzzeeee]

I think Eddie Van Halen's star is shining brightly here.....here's to the BEST of the BEST!!

[wizzzeeee]

I knew Eddie could do this....this is where the music sings....with Eddie and no lyrics whatsoever! Amazing!! Needs a sax too, hmmm?

[TheLatch44]

it's the quiet before the storm, bring it on.

[h8MeIfUwant]

8 dislikes??? Y

just the guitar solo alone is great i dont even watch the video

[h8MeIfUwant]

8 dislikes??? Y

[vanhalen515084]

this reminds me of the music in midnight expresss

[kinsmith66]

This is absolutely amazing and beautiful. I have actually heard people exclaim that eddie is just fast and has no ear or tone. Idiots!!!!! He is the best

[CJDavidson]

beautiful... I thought it was studio.

this doesn't look anything like a fish B)

[CJDavidson]

beautiful... I thought it was studio.

[SgtHeadstomper]

Beautiful but boring. This would be the song on the cd you start to skip over after a couple of listens. Unless you are one of those that likes to sit around and drink and cry by yourself.

[LiquidMantel]

@SgtHeadstomper

You will show respect! This is beautiful, especially using it as a background to some epic moment during a movie or a event in your life.

[Reaper420Jay]

@SgtHeadstomper or if your just a person that loves to listen to awesome guitaring.

[Dragon08KK]

This song deserves WAY more views. Not only a perfect combination of guitar and electric piano, but an awesome ending piece to an awesome movie!

[SuperStonedRock4Lyfe]

When i was seven i watched the movie "Twister" and it has humans being and this song in it.... that movie was what made me love rock music and van halen!

[Lucicsux]

As i listen to this, it reminds me of the movie " Midnight Express" it would fit in there remakably! EVH is a Genius....truly a great instrumental!

[Maine78Man]

Many people don't understand why I love Van Halen so much. Some don't even respect it. They rank high in the ranks of fellow legendary bands. No band, but the mighty Van Halen, can embrace every emotion I have had so well. No band can put at least a small smile on my face even through my roughest times. And sometimes listening to one of their songs can make me feel every emotion I have all at once. This song, (even without lyrics,) does. 2 brothers started a band. I thank them with no regrets.

[Xya77]

This is the most beautiful piece of instrumental music I have ever heard. i've listened to this over and over for many yrs and never get tired of it. Very calming and perfect for meditation and relaxation.

[7777Tutty]

this is what i call Music and thats final !!!...ty so very much for this great video and great true sound .....

[maximanttra]

''Twister'' I just watch the movie to hear the instrumental at the end.

[revolutionman81]

This tone and writing at this point in 95/96 was great. This track is amazing, even the two Dave songs of the Best Of regardless of how others feel about Dave singing or not, they are great songs. Humans Being is also great, and Crossing Over the other Balance track is great. Too bad they didn't release this material separately. Their downfall musically, was not putting out original material in 1993, turning down headlining Woodstock 1994, and also not releasing this material in 96 as a whole.

[nickthecomedian]

van halen is awesome.

[11marylena]

I sure respect the wind, the rain, basically the full fury of all the elements!! Scary thing. Anyways....love this instrumental :)

[062000bob]

Why 7 persons don't know what is good music !

[theratfarmer]

us old farts know who the real musians are. todays "music" is garbage.  i don't know, i feel like ed has some new music to give. don't ask me how i know, i just do. i can feel it coming. either i'm drunk or i'm tapping into my 6th sence.

[1987LOZ1987]

These guys are ok but they're no where near as talented as Justin Bieber and Lady Ga Ga...

No wait, think I got that the wrong way round?

[80sguitarplayer]

@1987LOZ1987 I almost shit my pants in disbelief until i read on lol

[alex95lamdan]

@1987LOZ1987 justine bieber SUXXXXXXXXXXXXX. LADY GAGA SUCK MY MAMA DICK.

[Drumtariano]

@alex95lamdan lol calm down kid.

[alex95lamdan]

@Drumtariano XDDDDDDD

[therealhardrivedave]

Im so sick of people not understanding how much harder it is to truly express yourself then to play a million notes per second. you can probably train a monkey to play guitar like some of these shredders out there who focus on fast fingers. This is what seperates Ed from the rest. and everyone knows it! this song puts you in another place. nuff said.

[DrD3ATHD3ALER10]

Epic

[itsevanz]

great video man

[wilriv]

Just the keyboard has some feeling, the guitar part is just a bunch of hard to do tricks with no feelings.

[TheSpirit0fRadi0]

@wilriv Just because it may be hard to do ( which this song doesn't really have any particularly hard "tricks" in), doesn't mean it has no feeling. None of this is mindless shredding or anything.

[wilriv]

@TheSpirit0fRadi0 He seems empty, like he doesnt know what to do with such a sentimental background and he just console himself doing strange noises (which are not easy to do) but the bottom line is that the guitar part makes you feel empty. If it wasn't EVH playing I assume the song would not be on You tube because it's not his best performance or maybe it was just meant to be a maningless background song for the movie.

[BradDeLorenzo]

@wilriv

The noises are the easiest part. So essentially you have no idea what your talking about.

[wilriv]

@BradDeLorenzo Maybe, but me knowing nothing or the guitar stuff being easy or hard it's not the point. Point is that the guitar part fell short, it has no feeling. Hey but maybe you know more about nothing than me!!

[pandaloboxd]

FODA !  \m/

[NefariousBanana]

Eddie's most underrated guitar solo.

[LiminalLady90]

amazing, one of my favorites from the boys

[Deppforlife]

Eddie and Alex are gods

[themetalmop]

whats the video at like 4.30

[MoralDestructor]

@themetalmop Not Enough's video, great song, great video. Listen to it.

[CoolKodyP]

@MoralDestructor dude this is humans being video

[MoralDestructor]

@CoolKodyP Yeah but i was answering at themetalmop..

[lightnessss]

Where can I see the full backstage documentary ?

[undertakerfreak1127]

One of the best instrumentals of all time.

[goavs34]

I was really fucking high and laughed my ass off when this song kept going on forever at the end of twister

[kenroy916]

Jesus from :12 - :21 it literally sounds almost like the guitar is crying

[summerdying111]

The greatest guitar player that ever lived

[horseygirl90]

I liked it, especially with the Eddie Van Halen clips :D

[elreyleonASM]

This instrumental song is very precious, the technique and the inspiration are amazing. In my opinion the best solos of Eddie ever!!

[Coelhoigb]

Genius!!!is Genius!!

[Reani75]

Bestes Instrumental was ich je gehört habe. Ich habs mir so oft auf der Videokassette von Twister angehört, dass die Kassette am Schluss kaputt ging. Der Film war aber noch ganz :-)

Es gibt ne ultimative 10 Minuten Version von dem Stück, die topt nichts.

[RussianCivilian]

I never respected him as a player until i started playing his stuff, now things are different.

[vanhalen515084]

did i hear that alex plays piano on this, they are both so talented.,

[MarlanGero]

Such a great song!!

[dyno1316]

Why only Eddie And Alex? What hapend with Mike?

[SeekNTruth]

Im not saying Respect The Winds sounds like, but it reminds me of the song "Snowman" by Rainbow.

/watch?v=xA_SLTwv19Q

[Lickedykuratz]

@SeekNTruth Going by your comments, i checked "Snowman" out. It indeed sounds similar. Thanks for putting me onto it! Great fucken songs in a combined kind of way.

[asiofa0fp]

@SeekNTruth

exactly

[page887]

I never liked "Twister" much, but the soundtrack kicked,,didint it.

[Grantski1982]

almost broght a tear to my eye love this

[ptsmmrs]

eddie has manged to be both the best thing and worst thing for this band.when he played guitar and let the other band member be themselves the band was at their best and at the same time we all knew who was the corner stone of the entire thing but when he decided he would make all desisions it all crashed.

[pabloramirez716]

@ptsmmrs When you have been screwed over by the record industry over and over- a person tends to become very isolated and protective !!!!

[musicman9982007]

Terrible movie, great song.

[hawoperson]

this is the best song ever

[michaeljackson1988]

BEAUTIFUL...... PERIOD.

[VanHalenDrummer]

Twister! I am not sure why, but when I heard this as a kid, I used to get scared. Now that I am more mature lol, and know who Van Halen is, I have come to respect this song so much more than before! =]

[gnome311]

Great compilation of images. I enjoyed it all!

:o)

[pigletized]

Van Halen is great, but these days any guitarist can play this and that's why noone bothers with it. It's been done a zillion times over. Malsteem can play this while urinating.

[DarthKazi]

So what? Monst any guitarist with a pulse can play Beatles songs... but that doesn't mean they can write them. Nor, does that make technicians able to be creative and successful. They just imitate.

If you want impossible acrobatics, go to a circus. Music is not a competition.

Grow up.

[zraywood]

its not how hard it is to play,, its how it sounds when u play it ... if ur a guitarist i feel sorry for you

[pigletized]

I guess I've been worhipping Malsteem too much while drinking too many beers. Sorry to all I've offended with my ignorant asshole comment. I should know better.

[kenroy916]

you spelled malmsteen wrong and who gives a fuck

[1tubey]

You know, I'm not crazy. Listen to this song from Top Gun. Eddie must have listened to the soundtrack a lot, and then thought he came up with it years later.

Harold Faltermeyer - Goose's Death /Goodbye Goose -- Top Gun

[1tubey]

Sorry, I've been a big VH fan from day one, and I find nothing special about this song. Sounds like something from the Top Gun soundtrack.

[dachachamonk]

dude what are you talking about same here but this song is friggin awsome

[515OVanHalen515O]

yea this was nominated for a grammy

[vladcd02]

Actually it's from the twister soundtrack:D

[fairey01]

@1tubey I have to agree with you. I was forced to listen to this song earlier today because I was watching the movie with a friend.I have always switched channel when I watch it on my own because just the first few minutes grated on my nerves, but tonight was TORTURE. This is THE most annoying, nerve-grating, out of control song I have EVER heard.God almighty.

[kenroy916]

cant criticize you for your opinion but how in the hell is this out of control or annoying in any way do you listen to like the jonas brothers or some shit?? don't get mad its an honest question

[fairey01]

I'm not mad at all, Kenroy. As for listening to the the Jonas Brothers, no, I don't but my daughter did until this year when she slowly grew out of it. I have many musicians in my family, including my father in law whom is famous and my son who plays the electric guitar. Jimmy Hendrix? yes.Sorry, but I still conclude that this song is painful.

[Jbles13]

@fairey01 maybe thats your opinion but not ours

[trixie10121]

"Reign Of The Warriors" Is One Of The Best Guitar Songs Ever Recorded In My Opinion

[LvEternity]

Eddie & Alex Van Halen are to music what Peyton & Eli Manning are to Pro Football

[1tubey]

So are you saying Alex sucks?

[LvEternity]

Absolutely not ! I was speaking in terms of a brother thing :)

[bigrpb]

LMAO!!!

[515OVanHalen515O]

i no eli sucks but alex doesnt suck thats for sure

[highcom77]

he can do what satriani and vai is doing and he could have done more and maybe better

[TimKarplus]

This is a fantastic piece of music from beginning to end

[mudvainjeep]

very well put together video piece

[yvisa67]

genial le generike de twister from france

[mynamesjiimmy69]

this song can make u cry if u think about it and it can remind u of memories

[mlhvh]

Great song, AVH never gets enough credit for his musical talent.

[NickeyWhitfield]

@mlhvh Neither do I. Bit of a silly thing to say, really. Of course, some are the stars, others are in the background, bla bla bla ... not like we just found out.

[sparkles67]

@NickeyWhitfield man do i disagree with you lot, and im a huge vh fan. i cant stand this tone, waaaay over saturated, waaaay to wet. ed's at his best with the warm brown tone, fair warning tone. and i cant stand when he wanks off so much, he is a god at song structure and rythym playing, he used to know when to hold back. i pray to god the new album doesnt sound like this. go back and listen to the lesser played tracks on 1984, girlgone bad and house of pain, thats how the new album should sound

[NickeyWhitfield]

@sparkles67 I don't see how this has anything to do with what I said. So whatever you say.

[sparkles67]

@NickeyWhitfield uhhh, i just hit reply to post my comment, it wasnt to you in particular. lighten up.

[mynamesjiimmy69]

no one i think can ever be as good as eddie on guitar he is a god

[rockmn5150]

That it is my friend... ... .. .

[Anjohl]

Meh, it's got nothing on Catherine or Balucitherium.

[1kydde2]

what video is the rooftop footage from?

[holydiver7190]

its from not enough

[vhlvr]

Not Enough

[izi151]

ku*wa, ta muzyka i te wycinki sprawiają wrazenie jakby oni byli już martwi... Zajebiste! / /

Deam, this music + videos get me impression tahat they're dead. That's one of the best songs without a lyrics... realy cool.

[tall32guy]

Everyone is saying how it touches them, they find it emotional, etc. I can't relate to that cuz I don't feel that. But, I do find it a very exciting, kickass guitar solo like only Eddie can do. :)

[LastSunrise1981]

Very beautiful instrumental. Eddie and Alex should consider doing an all-instrumental album.

[metachozoite]

@LastSunrise1981 nooooo.....just no...it would not sell beyone the what....120000 people on here? Im sure he will not be on g3 anytime soon.....

[LastSunrise1981]

@metachozoite

Why not? It'd be a cool little side project for Eddie. Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, Marty Friedman, Jason Becker, and Yngwie Malmsteen have all released instrumental albums. I think it'd be amazing if Eddie and Alex did an all-instrumental album.

[metachozoite]

@LastSunrise1981 Well...if you put it that way yes it would be cool...but id want a better hought out thingy...I love all these guys and yes eddie is why I started playing guitar alongw ith rush...and now allll these guys...love em and thank god for em ... :)

[Earthterra1]

@LastSunrise1981 Right on! People who don't like this song don't know music very well. This song has soul. Eddie is learning how to play the blues in such a way that his guitar cries.

[5150BALANCE]

@LastSunrise1981 No Eddie should do a G3 tour with Vai and the gang that would be huge!

[012jack012]

@LastSunrise1981 haha yeah they cant kick themselves out of the band =P

[GeorgVanHalen]

This song is pretty sweet, maybe they should have it on some future Greatest Hits record as a Outro-song? :)

[AceOfSpade1234]

This song reminds me of a scene in Midnight Express.

[tommyhyde]

Alex is actually playing the keys on this one!

[JManGuitar5150]

... Where do you get that from?

[OU812BMT]

ya that's true, Alex is playing the keys in this one, it was in a guitar world article i found

[26crazyred]

yes i agree i could too

[ryanmc353]

Aw i remember this song outta the film twister. Awk ive watched that film about 100 times or more and ill never get sick of it cus its a great film. So is this song :D

[OzzySweet]

u'r sooo rite

[Blade686]

That's how i got to this song. I opened the TV and it was on a movie channel and it was already at the credits roll. And i thought "wow this guitarist is amazing" and then i saw the song's name at the credits and realized it was Eddie. :)

[ryanmc353]

Yea that film's awesome!

[diereitertheli]

holy shit! me too!

[van1978halen]

that is some good video effects and even better guitar playing!

[macimacs]

He's a mad man and a genius!!!

[allblues85]

awesome song!

[JManGuitar5150]

I love Eddie's music but I really don't like his personality... I don't know if he made the decision (probably), but on the new Guitar Hero: Van Halen, Sammy and Michael won't be in it. It will go through the whole time line of Van Halen with just David, Eddie, Alex, and Wolfgang... Even though Wolfie was born like 15 years after Van Halen was formed...

[redrocker1055]

Easy... MONEY!!!

If Sammy's song's aren't included then they don't have to cut him in. And since he already cut Mikey out of future(and a lot of the past) proceeds from uses of the Van Halen name... It insures the Van Halen Clan more money! As everyone knows Ed's all about the money, be it his over priced guitar/amp/accessory/effect/sh­oe line or by cheating band mates and fans out of Sammy era songs. as long as it pays, It's all the same!!!

[JManGuitar5150]

He erased Michael from the history of Van Halen! Seriously! What a bastard!

[redrocker1055]

No arguments here!

It was a really sad day when I realized "my Idol" was nothing more then a money hungry - prick... A sad day indeed!!!

[crid34]

I'm gonna have to check this GH out...VH is my favorite band! And I'm 17-yr old girl, go figure. But Sammy has some really good songs. No doubt I like DLR better, but Sammy should be included on the GH game. I love Eddie and I've never really seen his personality, but he's probably just another stuck-up rockstar.

[skirbyr]

the king! always and forever!

[macimacs]

What i wanna to live another music .... this's perfect!...i want to hear Eddie's music ... i live in Europe!!! Greetings from EU!

[MarblesStudios]

this is one of the greatest songs in the movie twister

[hockeydudeluv]

Great video montage dude!! Well done! Again a masterpiece from the one and only EVH......the legend grows!

[spinaker03]

where can i get "Respect the Wind'? Tabs and on cd or mp3? anyone know?

[redrocker1055]

Harmonycentral will probably have it!!!

Or Google Van Halen - Respect The Wind tab It's been awhile(about ten years) since I've played it, but by listing to it it sounds like standard tuning(E A D G B E) It's easy, mostly bends and drags(slides), it's real easy if you have a Floyd and and a Sustainer

[Blade686]

I have a Floyd and a Sustain(iac)er. :>

[tall32guy]

It's on the soundtrack of the movie it was made for, "Twister" from 1996.

[chazzman65]

yea evh intro me to play today im a good gutiarist not as good as eddie rock on man!!!!

[dougeroonie]

Thanks Man, Killer song and killer video! Very well done. Been a fan of VH since day one -- have they changed?? sure, but that's cool.

Rock On!

[nikonangel25]

i love this my gf introduced it to me

[macimacs]

Superb music!!! I live in Europe and I weared this symbol, when i was young (...and Eddie too): VH (Xme .. this is not the original logogram)

[GoofyGuitar68]

Eddie will always be ahead of the game!Funny how people get upset if u like the guy! Re-invents himself all the time, Eddie likes change, he's smart musician!

[transformersgod]

even if EVH past away ,he will never die

[EVH012]

It's gonna be a sad day when he leaves this world. He led a life filled with turmoil, and it would probably be a release for him, but no other modern musician has contributed this much to music. He revolutionized the way we look at and play guitars. Thank you Edward, for all you've done for music

[GeorgVanHalen]

Nice video and great instrumental. I hope for a few instrumentals on the next Van Halen record (if it ever comes).

[roflsawce]

Ahh.. This song is so.

One of those tunes that defines the definition of music.

(My opinion) : )

[americanevil07]

cool

[VanAllan5]

EVH FOR LIFE

[swassontelus]

Hey 5150EVH5150....

Great Tribute......

thank you.

[macimacs]

This i my favourite from Eddie!

[therealhardrivedave]

that was really fucked up man!!!! People are probably checking the news like i did asshole!

[Lolpezatron]

Oh my god, I just heard the news. RIP EDDIE!

[Filterlithium]

Thanks y'all . before i was introd to utube i had to put the twister dvd in, and let it run all night when i slept just to hear this fn song. i know, loser. thanx anyway

[rockchalkjhox]

Vanhalen ROCKS!!

Eddie is the GOAT!!!

[rockchalkjhox]

TWISTERS

[jordan1234564]

I respect the wind.

[Snakepit4321]

[jordan1234564]

[Jepu5150]

Eddie and the Van Halen: best now and 4ever!

[pataisias]

[gunraykilla]

[Superzooi123456]

i like cats

[michaelmyers1993]

[guitarrero77]

4:45 to 5:20 ... Total inspiration in my musical point of view.

[bgdbrussellsproutz]

this song has such a sad but at the same time EPIC sound. truly amazing....

[joeyjoejoejunior123]

"EVH012

Why you sad memorial the king???

Eddie live forever ... if him body will cold, him music known all over the world!!! " Wot thee fuck?
