Darth Kazi? whatever the f#*+ you call yourself one thing for sure you can't play like NEITHER so shut your bitch ass up.Page is the greatest most versatile guitar player ever.Eddie good yes But its the same thing over and over The legions of ZEPPELIN fans range in all ages and way out number the Halens
There is a difference between playing and shredding. and what EVH did there was the latter. It wasn't even key. You want a shredder, get me Stevie Vai.
Van Halen was the Zep of their generation, if only the original lineup hadn't deteriorated a mere 7 years into their existence, I mean i enjoy the hagar years but early halen with dlr was just pure magic. Thank god they are recording with roth again
@Aethelred1971 : all respect to Page and Zeppelin, fuckn geniuses from front to back. But any kid that grew up in the 80's played guitar because of Eddie. Guitar shredders and tricksters will come and go, but EVH was a musician first and foremost and so much more than the flashy guitar genius that any non-player tries to dismiss him as. He was a true inspiration for a generation of players. Big respect to Eddie and the band.
eddie sux. he plays the same tapping solo shit in every song. every band out there covers zep songs, just look at the videos to the right on this page for example. how many Vh covers do you see?
@GuitarsGalore557 zepplin was not any influence to the great eddie van halen or his band period! i like playing some beatles songs but they were not a influence on me at all. eddie van halen is much more a superior guitarist than jimmy page. eddie van halen has been playing guitar 46 years. guitar player international and guitar World have eddie van halen and jimi hendrix the two most important and influental guitarist of alltime! eddie van halen has taken the guitar to places that will NEVER!
@stratdem lmaoo dude your funny i have an interview with eddie van halen saying this " i was at a led zeppelin concert in california and jimmy page starting to finger his guitar during heartbreaker solo and i said to my self hmm i could do that and add an extra finger or two and tap the guitar ." and if u are a big eddie van halen fan u dumbass you would know that eric clapton was eddie's idol. go ahead say that eddie started the cigarette in the neck of the guitar first to huh eric did
@stratdem Wow. What a fucking child. I don't give a fuck how long you've been following someone. Doesn't give you the right to insult people bitch. I read an article in guitar world when Eddie was asked about his influences. He stated he'd love to get inside Kimmy Pages head and see how he came up with all the different tones on all the Zeppelin records. I know Ed's a better guitarist. Doesn't mean he didn't learn something from him. Asshole.
@bandit7498 Personally I believe Both Jimmy Page, EVH are amazing guitarist in their own classifications, I mean its true man EVH has got some genius to him, but to me I think JP put so much feeling into his music, And if you really check them out LZ guys were educated musicians, I mean they were really orchestrated you know...they werent garage band....but again this is me personally...its just good to see people appreciate fine rock music...keep jammin man! =)
@huea88 Page was great. That was my point with the other guy. Just because Eddie was in another class doesn't mean he couldn't have learned a thing or two from jimmy Page.
@stratdem pff. whatever you say. Eddie is the better player. But there's even a Guitar World issue a few months ago and if you read that you might be surprised. I ain't arguing with you. Eddie being a better player doesn't mean he can"t appreciate players before him. Just a dumb argument.
@stratdem I actually remember Eddie said he really thought Page was a great producer, player in the studio but not a great live player. (I love his playing live, thats my very humble opinion). He said he got the idea for two hand tapping from Jimmy Page's "Heartbreaker" solo. He said if you can hammer on and pull off to an open note, then why not tap another note.That was probably some Guitar World interview. I used to eat that shit up as a kid. Also, the "Atomic Punk" solo sounds page-ish
Jesus... is this another YouTube Comment pissing contest? My dick is bigger than your dick? My lawyer can out-sue your lawyer? My favorite band kicks your band's ass. It's been done dude. Go to bed and wake up a happier man and stop trying to make music into a contest. Get a life.
That's a cute name, by the way. A song that came out after Zeppelin lost their fire. In fact, in the 1:42 it took for Page to hear Eruption, he knew his career was near the end.
@DarthKazi You Got The Date wrong there. Bonzo died on September 25th. The Band did not officially cease to exist until December 4th, 1980. that just kinda pissed me off. sorry.
I don't understand all the hostility..It's not a Page vs Van Halen CONTEST..just a cover in TRIBUTE of Led Zep...and a nice unique version IMO! Sure it is different...don't you want it to be? It should be faithful to the original... not a CARBON COPY!
Listen, I respect EVH, but he mangles this song. There is so much going on inside the riff. Page is the man, and only Page knows how to play Zeppelin right.
im sorry but eddie ruined the solo for me hes to.... how do you say metal for jimmys style im not saying eddie is bad im just saying hes not good at playign bluesy like Jimmy
@guitaristxcastro I think Eddie did an Eddie solo, which is fine. I like when a band covers a song, but with their own flavor. I think 'note for note' duplications are boring.
Sammy did a great vocal, btw. Big kudos to any band that honors Zep with a cover, imo.
krogshede, get over your pathetic self. Only a moron would complain about Van Halen covering Zeppelin. One of the greatest rock bands of all time covering perhaps the greatest rock band ever, each with its own guitar legend, and you whine about it. You are a fucking LOSER!!!
@nathanhyatt1980 its awsome considering that they had no songs of there own at the time and they sure as hell wernt going to play a roth era set ( no disrespect to that era) but of just playing for the hell of it its amaizing
You also can't compare Ed to (a) god, either. Page didn't resort to noodling with a violin bow in every song like Ed does with his tapping and sheer endless repetitiveness.
@Adnoydal Lol, but you can't compare jimmy fooling around with a bow, to eddie tapping.. Eddie's work defines a sound he was trying to get.. page was just fooling around with the bow.
@dannyaudio he didn't learn how to tap from that. it sparked an idea.. and eddie expanded on it. Everyone know he listened to heartbreaker and wanted to expand on the sound from the solo.
yes my son the Noyd has serious mental problems, he was ass raped years ago, by Geico's, so now he is homicidal, sociopathic, and hates everything, as we hate him. Avoid the Noyd
This has to be the most covered in-concert cover. It doesn't have to note perfect to the original, just as long the players convey the feeling. My favourite cover was at the tale-end of the 1978 Rock Circus: Peter Frampton, Ted Nugent, Nancy Wilson and Howard Leese all taking turns on the solo, and Ann Wilson rocking the vocals. Great way to end a fantastic show!
Van Halen has had some great songs, and they were a good band. Eddie is a great guitarist. Eddie is probably a better guitarist technically than Page (i.e. fingering). However, this performance demonstrates how inferior of a musician Eddie is compared to Page.
the cigarette in eddies guitar headstock... he saw jimmy page do that. You see, eddie wants to be like jimmy page when he grows up... not likely, but hey everyone can dream.
Yeah I miss the percussion intro too... but there will never be another John Bonham to nail it like only he could.. so I just get lost in the guitars & smiles & sheer fun a younger Eddie & Sammy were having! Bless them both! That crazy solo Eddie does helps make this a FAVORITE version for me!!!
These "old guys" can still play circles around most anyone...what guitarist hasn't been influenced in some way by Eddie's techniques especially his tapping? Show some respect.
@lauratwo16 it wasn't eddie who actually made the tapping, eddie was only the guy who made it popular.. I'm not sure but I've heard something like that :) eddie is still the king
@RevilationGuitar91 Good point...Eddie credits JIMMY PAGE as his inspiration to tap & such but EDDIE brought it to the NEXT LEVEL & beyond. Some simple forms of tapping were done way before Page even. That said, I just LUV all these guitarists & percussionists for what they all have accomplished as musicians!
Van Halen changed the face of rock guitar. Jimmy Page and Van Halen are like apples and oranges. Sammy Hagar's best song was Bad Motor Scooter with Montrose.
Was there ever a time when the members of Van Halen (both Roth and Hagar versions) ever really liked each other? They give the impression of having a glorious, wonderful time on stage, yet when they broke up, they all trashed each other. Makes me think all that smiling was totally fake.
WOAH! That is one of the STUPIDEST things I've ever heard. Now Eddie Van Halen may not be the best guitarist to live and it is probably true that Jimmy Page is a better guitarist. But you can NOT go around and say the EVH is a bad guitarist or he sounds like shit, because he is KNOWN for tapping but at least he makes it work because he is SUPPOSED to sound futuristic and "spacey" and epic. he can rock hell outta its cave but he does what he does best and we love him for it.
awesome cover!!! seriously!!! it's just, ti think the guitar's overdrive got too many crunch/gain so it's sounds more 80's heavy metallic. still fuckin awesome cover though!!!
Darth Kazi? whatever the f#*+ you call yourself one thing for sure you can't play like NEITHER so shut your bitch ass up.Page is the greatest most versatile guitar player ever.Eddie good yes But its the same thing over and over The legions of ZEPPELIN fans range in all ages and way out number the Halens

Some simple forms of tapping were done way before Page even. That said, I just LUV all these guitarists & percussionists for what they all have accomplished as musicians!

Van Halen changed the face of rock guitar. Jimmy Page and Van Halen are like apples and oranges. Sammy Hagar's best song was Bad Motor Scooter with Montrose.

Was there ever a time when the members of Van Halen (both Roth and Hagar versions) ever really liked each other? They give the impression of having a glorious, wonderful time on stage, yet when they broke up, they all trashed each other. Makes me think all that smiling was totally fake.

Van Halen is a talentless hack who uses taps and to play fast and he sounds like shit!!!
jimmy page is FAR superior

WOAH! That is one of the STUPIDEST things I've ever heard. Now Eddie Van Halen may not be the best guitarist to live and it is probably true that Jimmy Page is a better guitarist. But you can NOT go around and say the EVH is a bad guitarist or he sounds like shit, because he is KNOWN for tapping but at least he makes it work because he is SUPPOSED to sound futuristic and "spacey" and epic. he can rock hell outta its cave but he does what he does best and we love him for it.

Van Halen certainly does come close to Jimmy Page :). He's excellent. The drums seem to be missing in this though lol. They just must be very quiet
