  • 1:33 LIKE A BAUWZ

  • 0:39 for Eddie playin' sax! :D

  • Genius

    

  • Two words... Guitar God

  • He makes it look so easy..

  • I got a boner watching this

  • o melhor solo que ja vi

  • gotta remember that cigarette placement: Awesome!

  • damn. great is soooo eddie van halen!

  • Holy Shit...no wonder hes a legend

  • "The King!! The King!!"

  • Happy Birthday eddie!

  • Happy birthday Eddie

  • EVH is no fuckin god!let alone a good fuckin guitarist!that intovariety guy is right,its just stale wank from the 70s with no musical stucture.if this gay song were released2day,it wouldbe laughable,release anything by frank gambale or al di meola 2day,it would still b impressive technically and MUSICALLY.only beginner suburban white kids play this abortion bcause they think its impressive

  • @HankHillshred Do you really think that in today's world that is ruined by pop/dance music thhat Al Di Meola would be impressive? Eddie and Randy Rhoads shaped rock guitar forever. They are gods. If you think Eddie is not good, then let's see better from you. Sure he may not be the best but you have to give him the respect he's due.

  • @cjalmighty this was new and exciting in 78 and shaped rock, fine, but its stale wank now. Ed crammed it into pop fluff Jump which topped the pop charts in 84, other players went wank happy and thats where rock is today. If I never hear another generic wanky solo its fine with me

  • great master!!!!

  • there's just speed, no music. i'd like to play like him, ofc, i'm not so good as him, but i still think, that music must have soul to be good. here i can't find soul, maybe i'm wrong.

    :)

  • @tyminho007

    Soul comes in many different forms, though. Just look at his body language while he's playing. May not look like much, but you I can tell he's feeling what he's playing and, in turn, I can almost feel it, too. Watch Doug Aldrich. He'll shred the guitar like a madman, but he's feeling what he's playing, and that's what matters. It's just a different form of soul. Not blues, jazz, R&B soul, but hard rock soul.

  • @Nickhead87 I don't, and therefore as a player never took to shred and wank as a form of expression

  • @IntoVariety247

    Shred and "wank" is more of a show-off thing than music. Shredding isn't something anyone can do properly. It actually does take control, dexterity, etc. Anyone can pick a guitar up and beat on the trem bar and wank on it, so I'll give you that one. But don't knock "Eruption" because you think it's wanking or mindless shredding.

  • @Nickhead87 I just never feel any mood that needs an Eruption soundtrack. I've called it a musical ricer car with all the plastic trim and fart pipes, loud paint and quad wiper blades. Others got musical NASCAR and even Formula 1 : )

  • nice intro!!!

    

  • dude this kinda shit can make all you noobs jizz your pants any day i gotta learn this.

  • @bluestormx4 Im not into watching shirtless long haired males wank, it doesnt arouse one bit

  • @IntoVariety247 Aye Adnoydall, but how do you explain your male manicans that co-excist in your living room, shirtless?Aye to that, and aye to EVH is God.......Noyd, super troll

  • @Lucicsux whats a "manican", you looser doshbag? You're projecting stupidly again. like a generic Ediot.

    I'd say this wank is stale, like an 80s ricer car at Walmart showing off its fart pipes toot toot

  • He should be a character in guitar hero and rockband

  • 1:33

    Eddie: oh yea..... so that's what i was smoking during the making of this solo. Fuck that was some good stuff.

    HAHA. Thank you, Eddie for making up some cool guitar riffs and solos and inspiring many kids with guitars.

  • AMAZING!

  • He looks...happy.

  • This guy's a fucking monster

  • as DLR has said.. Eddie the king of 10 fingers and 6 strings~

  • may the ear orgasm begin.

  • Tenacious D sent me here.

  • whats the name of the guitar he uses here?

  • stratacaster 1000

  • The Second best Guitar Solo??.. Fuck You Guitar World ¬¬'

  • @gixcm96

    What solo was in 1st place?

  • @Nickhead87 stairway to heaven

  • @nikkefani1

    Eh, that solo is alright. Not as epic as this solo. "Stairway" must have been picked out of respect. It's like when people say Metallica's best song is "Enter Sandman" when there are plenty of other songs that are really, really good. "Sandman" may be Metallica's catchiest song.

  • @Nickhead87 i totally agree

  • Just GOD...

  • at 1:36 there is a cigarette you can see hanging out of the head of the guitar

    thats why its smoking

  • jeez eddie, give your drummer sumthin to eat

  • @welcometotheshack Or maybe just take the needle out of his arm lol

  • @welcometotheshack That's his brother, lol.

  • @Scharfster i know but i said that to help people understand better

  • Is it me or is there smoke coming from his guitar at one point?

  • dimebag darrell anyone?

  • And i thought the guitar hero version was hard...

  • Any criticisms- there's just.. too many notes! (Amadeus)

  • We need 752 condoms and a time machine.

  • FUCK YOU U FUCKING PRICK WHICH DISLIKE THIS GUY IS MA GUITAR HERO FUCKING DISLIKERS FUCK U !!!!

  • when I was around 13 I did not even know who van halen was, but I heard this track in the book store and I told my mom I had to buy this cd.

  • For everybody that's hating on this video, go try to play this on a guitar and you'll regret it.

  • @TheFutureEVH I did and wound up asking myself why the heck would I play wank like this for any reason

  • @IntoVariety247 Cause it's fun!!

  • @TheFutureEVH Lots of people can play/like this, but Ed did it first

  • He once fingered a girl, her eruption was so amazing she died.

  • @BlockAps I would die too! :D

  • @princessehiboux Imaginable :P

  • If you think this and cliffs of dover are the best solos of all time you don't know what soul is. While they are technically amazing they'll never give you the same shivers you get from comfortably numb or stairway to heaven.

  • dis fuckin sucks man..like..go listen to some jb

    hes like teh real shiz

  • You Last Two Are Goofs! Eddie's In His Own Category! Hendrix Revolutionized Guitar Playing but Eddie Perfected It! This Stands Alone As The Greates Guitar Solo Along With Eric Johnson's Cliffs Of Dover!

  • @TheWutangclan4ever cmon Cliffs etc. virtually every solo besides this tells some kind of story. This is a lot of wank cobbled together into one musical ricer car show Lookit me! Check out my fart pipes! I got quad wiper blades! Look how loud my paint is! My stereo volumes goes to 11! My spoilers 3 stories high! Nice.

  • Not the greatest ever but a damn good guitaristfor sure!!!  Hendrix murders this guy

  • I disagree that this is supposed to be the "greatest ever". Musically its like a ricer car at Walmart, all full of fart pipes, plastic trim, fat tires, loud stereo, loud paint, sitting there making noise to impress those without fart pipes. Look at me! See my fart pipes! Hear them toot!

    This wankery was much much better in Beat It, where it actually fit the story told, but then actually died as an art form when Ed crammed it into pop fluff Jump.

  • Cigarette Eddie placed in his guitar? No you dumb ass, he secretley rolled a blunt while he was playing that solo that began at 1:05 and hit it a few times THEN placed it there when you werent looking.

  • Eddie - Eruption

    Me - Erection

    The amps and stompboxes in the new GarageBand let you change your sound as often as you like. And you can plug in a foot pedal like the Apogee GiO to control your entire rig.

  • From the worst musician ever to sell recorded music on itunes.....This is Awesome musicianship !

  • Note he has his eyes closed during lots of this. So amazing. One of my favorites of all time.

  • epic

    

  • There is a time when difficulty becomes ridiculous...I have a friend who likes musicians only for talent, and although yes they are talented, the music never sounds good...

  • @TheDeathonlegs Then that's not talent... Talent sounds good.

  • @picassopainter2 Well this doesn't. And it's talent, it's only used to show off...

  • Chuck Norris just pee hes pants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why couldn't I have been in my 20s in the 80s :(

  • Van Halen at the Cafe Wha? tonight...Get Ready because the storms about to hit

  • @evh4450 wanky pop rock is stormy, sure

  • @IntoVariety247 Van Halen is far from "wanky pop rock" there good friend but to each his own i guess

  • @evh4450 I keep asking fans what this Eruption stuff is a good soundtrack to in their lives, I miss emotion or story in it, which is why I never put it on another mix tape after it was released. I also learned to play it as a kid, but never felt the need to sit and just noodle it other than to show off to peers, and I never cobbled together noises I could make into a medley of my own.

  • @IntoVariety247 Adnoydall, youre still here stalking fans of EdVh the God, under your 12th different username, you are so madly in love with this God, that youve devoted 4 years of your life to attack his fans, as you want Eddie all to yourself, kind of a " Mark Chapman" similarity here. You are a cerebral disaster, please donate your brain to science so the world can prevent another mental impairment, such as yours, to ever happen again. EVH is God

  • @Lucicsux you keep making idiotic assumptions about yourself. I'm here to have my say about Eruption and I'd say its pretty stale wank by now. Musically I imagine opening my mail to find a lot of spam all promising FREE CRUISE FREE CAR FREE HOME but after opening a few letters it turns out nothings free, its "free with purchase" and fees. So I guess I'll pass

  • i thought it was fast forward

  • PUTA QUE PARIU QUE SOLO DO CARALHO

  • I think he really have the Pick of Destiny o___o

  • fuck me sideways

  • CAROLINA CROWN!

  • @HuskyPride2132 Crown rocks this.

  • @Lucicsux hey, I have a surefire way to get you your much-deserved autograph from (sic) you're pier, God. Make a banner and and take it to the wankfest reunion(s) you visit. As Ed wanks stale, wank proudly along and wave it. I say write one of your patented youtube Edisms (Halenisms?) on it, like "You want to suck my what?" "(sic) Your God!" "looser doshbags R homeless" "we own youtube" "Lucic sucks gay homo" "from Molly to greyhound lol" "STFU drink piss die psycho" Bet he signs that

  • @Lucicsux you keep cramming yourself into the center of attention, projecting, talking to yourself about yourself. The topic here is Eruption and I disagree that its supposed to be "the greatest solo ever" for many reasons.

  • Playing guitar Like a Boss.

    ..

  • ESSE CARA VAI FICANDO VELHO FICA E MELHOR ESSA PORRA 2008 FEZ UM SHOW PERFEITO ESSE INFELIZ ELE E MT FODA CARA

  • Fuckin totally bad ass. This man is my hero.

  • Whenever I listen to this solo it feels like I'm having sex, and at the end I climax. Hence, the name, Eruption.

  • @slapnut892 Do women feel the same, cuz I've only heard males compare this to (good?) sex, its male type sex. sex as men like it. etc.

  • @IntoVariety247 It's all viewed on how you feel the music, and how it relates to you.

  • @slapnut892 aye that, and thats the challenge here I feel, to try and describe it a little, to find the words. I dutifully learned to play Eruption when it came out, and felt pretty smug about it, but shortly after that, I asked myself why I should play this if it said nothing, to me, anyway. Theres nothing in this wankery beyond Look what I can do! Check this out! Watch me do this! I can go this fast! Listen to this I've just never behaved in kind having sex with a woman.

  • One of the greatest electric guiterists in the world

  • EVH!

  • um ok...so what are the chords for this song?

  • @gauravmanna G Am and D

  • die kippe :DDDDD

  • 1:06 <3

  • a bunch of people seem to think that fast = skill, this isn't the case though.

  • @InfiniteRhombus u can talk shit when u come up with a better solo

  • @blinksumday1 Infinite is actually jesus and therefore does not need to play a guitar

  • @blinksumday1 we can say what we like about Eruption because youtube invites us to.

  • @InfiniteRhombus

    slow usually equals skill
