  • For all the haters out there, This man play's Van Halen better than Edward van Heineken himself! I thought it was flawless ,a 12 on a 10 scale, That lick at 1:17-1:20 sums it up pretty well. "On less you can do any better" than dont say anything at all...

  • @MrHideyoursheep Sure he's a good guitarplayer, but he sounds just like Ed so that makes him a clone... it aint no fun being a clone. And a clone cannot play better than the original because... he is and always will be, a clone!

  • @AWGMJANS Ahhhhh!, No comment man with no Picture..Ahh! No Comment at all.

  • man, somebody needs to get their own identity...,absolutely no integrity. I dont care if you are in a tribute band or not, Absolute waste of time.

  • @howzaou812 countless players lazily adopted Eds wanky guitar ways after Eruption and rocks suffered. Ed did a parody of himself by cramming wank into pop fluff Jump and that was the end of Ed as a heavy metal player for me.

  • Pretty Awesome.

  • cheesy.....list it in title that You are a VH tribute

  • nice tone. Most kids these days put way too much gain in their wanna be brown sound. Little do they know that they gotta put a lot of volume at a low amperage with not so much gain to get that kind of sound. Oh well.

  • 1:17 BEST LICK RIGHT THERE!

  • the players are competent but Eruption is still a wankfest regardless who plays it

  • @Adnoydall Kendall are you still here? No recreational activities in Milwaukee where you live? At the University of Milwaukee where you work? Ball game? You have to continue to troll and stalk Edward Van Halen as Mark Chapman did to John Lennon? If eddie ever tours Milwaukee, i feel I must warn him of your stalking of this guitar god, and I truly feel you could do harm to this legend if you get close enough. Youve trolled him for 5 years now, get help for your mental issues. EVH is God

  • @Lushsucr no idea who or what youre blathering on stupidly about all the time "Kendall Milwaukee Chapman". Eruption is the topic and it sucks cuz its stale wank

  • @Adnoydall

    if that is wanking...i want to wank.....

  • @gtrrobster well sure, if you like to. I just never cared for it, never found the mood to wank around

  • @Adnoydall reading back, i see this topic has quite a history.

    Amazing that 2:00 minutes or so of notery has generated so much discussion.

    Hell, I liked VH 30 yrs ago when I saw 'em, and I still like 'em.

  • @gtrrobster Eds done fine, I just disagree that Eruption, in particular, is supposed to be Eds best work, much less the greatest guitar solo ever created and explained why.

  • @Adnoydall

    Agreed/...yeah, I like Eruption sure....but I think Eddie's greatest contrib is his riffs in tunes like Beaut Girls, Bottoms Up, WACF, Fair WArning....I love his solos , but more so the grooves and riffs/hooks.

    Plus just his tone in general...and stuff like CAthedrals, WinL intro...just the creative aspect....

  • @gtrrobster exactly - those elusive timeless rock riffs that immediately evoke a mood, tell a story, make a point! They've been in steady decline since the wank-happy 80s and their obligatory power ballads with pre-requisite solos ending at the usual (custom-made) 25th fret or higher.

    Ed coaxed a lot of decent tone out of relatively cheap if customized gear. Can't go onstage without special high-priced gear anymore. Songcraft and new ideas come in distant second.

  • Fantastic!!! I had a good time watching this... it reminded me of that "Pasadena Civic" bootleg sort of... A great time watching this...and isn't that what tribute bands are about? Having fun?

  • eddie looks so pre-drugs

  • YOUR A FAGGOT WHO CAN'T PLAY.... ED VH YOU'RE THE KING !!!!

  • fuck him some guys are copiyng too much but this was a good one.

  • 211 are total dicks this is pure amazing !!!!!!!

  • @cargzy96 Honestly, they dislike this becuase they thought this was REAL VH concert from 1978

  • @adamtheboyfromdenmar haha wat noobs

    

  • @cargzy96 Lol Yeah. VAN HALEN FOREVER!!!!

  • Enough about you and your dim rote asinine blather/projection.

    I'd say Eruption fits the youtube video "1000+rwhp Supra two-stepping it " perfectly. Some old fart makes his car's fart pipes toot in a parking lot, and teen boys gawk and drool

    Musically Eruption is the same sonic wankathon as two-stepping yer ricer car in a Walmart parking lot.

  • @wimpyliberal youtube Nothing in this video beyond a lot of wank as far as I can see. I find Eruption fits the youtube video "1000+rwhp Supra two-stepping it " perfectly. Some old guy makes his car's fart pipes toot in a parking lot, and teen boys gawk and drool "Whoa, awesome, two-stepping is god!"

    Musically Eruption is the same sonic wankathon as two-stepping yer ricer car. Fart pipes tooting loudly, teen boys huffing fumes.

  • @Lushsucr back to dim, rote, asinine anus-centered projection where youtube invites normal folks to discuss videos sanely..

    I find Eruption fits the youtube video "1000+rwhp Supra two-stepping it " perfectly. Some guy makes his car's fart pipes toot in a parking lot, and teen boys gawk and drool "Whoa, awesome, two-stepping is god!" Not really. Musically Eruption is the same sonic wankathon as two-stepping yer ricer car. Fart pipes tooting loudly, tires squealing fans gleefully huffing fumes.

  • @Noydsucr whats the matter Noyd/KellyValleau, no one in canada wanted to hire you to play anywhere, and play a guitar to the singing of " Smoke On The Water" like youre so skilled to do? You better call PM Harper and stalk and troll him too for his freedom of speech on you. Speaking of, Noyd, your viral videos, the million viewed NOC ones, there is a comment ban, in contradiction of your spews for everyone, why? Liar? Schizo? Lift the ban so we fans can post a comment, and the 3rd Reich Blog

  • Fuck me, what a player! Now THAT is talent.

  • holy shit did u hear those runs wow fucking fast as helll

    bad ass bro

  • Awesome..You got mad talent!

  • Great guitar tone, and technique. I'm curious, what kind of amp and FX are you using? I'm hearing a hint of Flanger and chorus on your guitar. Thanks

  • wow my first solo i ever wrote is way better. this guy isnt creative or very good

  • @LTFIRELT i agree with you that this version isn't all that impressive but there are other versions where this is just incredible.

  • @bender1011001 he more than likely does his own thing on the side...you cant bash on the guy for being in a tribute band to one of the most bad ass bands out there......evh himself was doing covers every night in the la clubs before van halen even took off

  • Well... I'm Impressed... I immulated Eddie early on in my carreer.. as I'm sure alot of guitarists do... I've never heard anybody closer than I had it... but this guy has it in spades... sounds just like eddie. Bravo... now do what I did.. and get your own style... you are def good enough.

    This day in Rock

  • Why does there always have to some needle dicked wise guy leaving comments about nothing of relevance or value to the actual content of the video. It;s guys like this that make leaving comments a drag. Especially when you want to share something if credit or critique to the level of musicianship displayed. P.S. love to see you doing something interesting or aspiring with your life.....

  • There is nothing wrong with tribute bands, I could sit at home and beat my dummy or I could go to a bar and watch a band that plays like one of my favorite bands. Drink some beers and see if the guitarist can play like the original. Definitely better than seeing alot of the new crap.

    It is what it is. A tribute band is a tribute band. The question should be how close is it to the original not whether they should be doing it.

  • Comment removed

  • A tribute band is just newswpeak for "cover band" , but with a limited song catalog to play from.

  • @bender1011001 bro,not cool. bro.

  • @bender1011001 wow chill bro. i hate people like you who think they are so cool. dont worry, your not.

  • @bender1011001 maybe hes just trying to land a couple gigs and people may just happen to like what he does and so does he. so back off

  • @bender1011001 I'm with you. I hate impersonators, always have. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not. It's one thing playing covers but I can't do the full-blown tribute thing. Would rather work the bum job and play on weekends rather than have a "career" copying someone else's career...

  • @monsta64 Eds fans argue that everyone who came after Ed is just a poser. Ed is God and created guitar music and everyone but Ed and his fans are fags and niggers needing to die because Ed is god, fags, die eat shit drink piss you fat pigs,. on and on and on, ad nauseam. I doubt it was Eds intention to attract such a crowd but thats where he is now.

  • @Adnoydall Yeah, I hear ya. Van Halen just came along at a time when rock n' roll just needed SUCH a kick in the balls it wasn't funny. Punk only went so far. While energetic, it simply wasn't what VH brought to the table when the BLASTED out of Pasadena like a Category 5 Hurricane. It was the complete package starting from the ground up: Mike and Alex anchoring a KILLER rhythm section. Roth as, arguably the greatest front man to this day, KILLER back-up harmonies from Mike & Ed. Then Ed, hmself

  • @monsta64 ...and what about the songs themselves...that's some killer writing, man! Great, killer tunes given a killer sound in the studio by Ted Templeman and Donn Landee, their engineer. Those guys did a phenomenal job on VH's first 6 albums! In that time period, Van Halen's albums and shows were like getting shot by a Glock 9. You never had a chance. You were simply blown the hell away. I saw them in '82 & '84 and still have yet to witness anything like I did those two nights.

  • this fool is pretty good.

  • OMG what a butcher job! Fail!

  • Steve Perry From Journey!.I love that lick from 1:17 to 1:21, Very nice.

  • That guy makes money from Music, how many of you out there can say that? Get off his back, that band are great.

  • 1:30- 1:36 sound like a horse getting raped, AWESOME!

  • well thats just fine this guy can cover such a guitar legend like

    the great edward van halen BUT! now lets see what you have

    there hot shot edward the great did this almost 33 years ago

    i want to see what kind of solo you have put together?

  • @stratdem copying it perfectly is difficult depending on your skill and gear. The point is why even study and copy this wank if it means nothing to you? It not that hard to cobble together random noodlings a la Eruption Legend has it Eruption was Eds studio or live warmup that his producer suggested he record / someone recorded secretly , depending on the storyteller. In neither did Ed himself consider his noodling around real music until fans went ape over it and then he got stuck with it.

  • @bender1011001 I agree, most are, but they pay the bills.

  • @bender1011001 Well you try to be yourself for 10+ years and can't eat then you start a tribute band and it works and you can now survive playing instead of having to work at Wal Mart.

  • @pismo10 Hmm at least when I'm 40 working at WalMart I won't be dressing up like an 18 year old and sceaving after young girls with an old mans face and beer belly!

  • @pismo10

    No shit lol I agree

  • this guy can really shred, but i don't understand why he's copying eddie. be yourself man, keep it up!

  • @bender1011001 Every classical musician that is performing Beethoven, Mozart is also copying someone else and not performing their own music on stage.

    I get your point, but this is done for the love of someone else's music. 

  • Wow, the only thing he doesn't have down 100% is the trem picking. Other than that, if you just played this without seeing it, I would think it was Eddie. He even got the tone and the effects down perfectly.

  • guitar looked authentic except for the single coil cover.

  • As much as I hate tribute bands.. this guy killed it.

  • YOu should have heard dimebag play this

  • Excellent rendition, very clean and tasteful playing. My only beef is that this is billed as VH and it's a cover of Eruption, albeit a good one.

  • sorry, NOT EDDIE..not even close.

  • i fucking hate tribute bands..bunch of wannabe's man be your self take all your influences and blend them and BAM you are you.

  • There is a VH tribute band based out of Atlanta,GA with a female

    guitarist named Nicole Shipley,she can nail that VH stuff too!!

  • @AnnaAnnaYes Cool! That I would like to see!!!

  • @Brokephi316 I'm suprised she dose'nt have a YouTube account

  • awesome !! this guy , Al Estrada , does a wicked job of copying early EVH .

    great tone as well . and he nails a lot of Ed's 'harder' linear passages .. , not just the usual triplet tapping licks .

    bravo and kudos !!

    great stuff !!!! :)

  • Doesn't quite sound as full as the original Eruption, but that was pretty freaking awesome.

  • He looks more like Ed than Ed himself. Ha!

  • This guy is an idiot... play your own music or get a job at McDonald's!!!

  • Isn't this the Tribute band in Vegas?

  • @Brokephi316 I don't think so because i drive a truck, i go all over

    the country, i've seen a lot of tribute bands.

  • haha :55 nice

  • hey, knucklehead go tell a classical musician you're not impressed, because he plays Beethoven and Mozart. or that he can't compose. This is a perfect example of why Rock music today is not respected. IMO people like to tear down others cause they are jealous instead of supporting.

  • @bender1011001 I can pretty much play anything that has ever been composed but I cannot compose anything that is great, my compositions are lame. there is another level to reach to be a great composer. that is why I am never impressed by people who play other people's music. few can compose, many can play.

  • @bender1011001 : Because it's just plain FUN. :)

  • what the fuck!!..

  • AWESOME

  • can he play sting of the b??

  • lol - Edf fans usually insist everyone copies Ed - that Ed is God and invented gutiar. Everything is but lousy imitation of the One. What, now?

  • Good, but it is not compared with the REAL Eddie Van Halen

  • A fake Eddie Van Halen............Duhhhhhh! This guy is not even half as good as the real Eddie what a copycat!

  • Can you play as well as the copycat???!! Than shut up, your a fag lolol

    singed,

    typical Ed fan

  • @Adnoydal why are you still alive? Care to comment on this question? Youtube invites you to answer this and a reason why you are still here, including your mother. EVH is God!

  • @Lushsucr yoiutube is god and it cares about viewer responses. Eds a wanker.

  • @edisstillgod , Noyd, and you get erections from watching child porn....sick fuck, i hope you die a painfull death...soon. EVH is God...now go jerk off to this post Noyd, someone responded to you!!!! Look Noyd, someone is talking to you, lonely old man, pc full of child porn...sick fuck. again, EVH is God

  • @Lushsucr I get satisfaction from people acting like sane, rational humans, not asinine, rote, generic terrorists / homocidal redneck idiots.

    Duh, Ed is God , fuck and kill all nigger and fag haters Ed is god

  • @edistillgodandwillbeforever , Noyd, I'd rather be a redneck than a child porn king, like yourself, kill yourself Noyd, violence agauinst children as youre doing, is not acceptable. EVH is God, and noyd, shower, Pablo has pissed on you for another day.......PS Noyd...EVH is God

  • @Lushsucr you're a delusional chronic liar, projecting sexual fantasies under Eds videos which you believe makes you somehow credible. Only to other idiot fnas. Eds shits on you as he sucks wanking around on the guitar in the video above

  • @edsstillgod , Noyd, you will die soon of old age, then we, at youtube will rejoice, and make it an international holiday, when you leave this earth, you are a sick, trolling, welfare recipient piece of shit, who only gets interaction with humans with this website. I truly feel sorry for you in some way. Satan is calling you back to the nest Noyd, and never forget...EVH is God!

  • @Lushsucr youtube and Ed shit on you because you're too lazy, stupid, vulgar and vain to comment on this video: shit fuck Ed is God dick suck Ed is God ass lick Ed is God hahahhapusssyahaha kill fags Ed is God cock ass fuck.

    Normal people say: I like/dislike ____because.____. I agree/disagree because_____

    Lushsucr farts: Shit fuck Ed is God dick suck Ed is God ass lick Ed is God hahahhapusssyahaha kill fags Ed is God cock ass suck

  • @edsstillagod , Is that the Noyd in the front row, sucking 2 dicks at once? It is!! Nothin changes Noyd, you will always be that useless , trolling, waste of a heartbeat that survived the flush. Now, go wank into your Joran fleshlight to another hatemail, and after that eat shit and die. EVH is God, the Noyd is a seed of Satan!

  • @Lushsucr what class of male does Eds noodling boy-themed wank atrract?

    "So how about that Eruption video?"

    "Duh, Ed si God.Mengele Ed is God niggers die Ed is god fleshlight Ed is God dick suck Ed is God ass fuck Ed is God"

    Whats Ed say about that? Who knows (yet), but hes clearly fenced himself in to keep the brainless garbage his wank has attracted out of his life.

  • @edsstillagod , Joran, youre not a male, so how would you know? Why does air enter and exit your lungs? Care to answer Demon Seed? Sign that donor card, and take Mr mengele's hand, for a free ride to Poland, and try out one of his tanning booths, hell, ill even pay the bill for the use. EVH is God, The Noyd is a seed of satan. Now , go wank to yet another hatemail, Noyd, eat shit and die a painful death.

  • @Lucicsux lol Another sura posted by EdGod's very own personal youtube messenger:

    "Non-males don't know as much as males. Ed is God. Mengele is in Poland. Ed is God"

    God's 4th of July lesson was:

    "Duh, Ed is God.Mengele Ed is God niggers die Ed is god fleshlight Ed is God dick suck Ed is God ass fuck Ed is God get cancer inffidel"

    All courtesy of manly male Lushsucr, Eds personal peer and messenger on youtube. Ed has some great fans, eh....

  • @edsstillagod , Joran, see if welfare supllies lawyers. EVH is God, the Noyd is a seed of Satan

  • @Lushsucr see if your brain is capable of comprehending the concept of responding to this video without gargling the samo virtual diarrhea . I see and hear a bunch of screechy atonal listless themeless directionless gutiar wank in this video. much like a teen boy in a ricer car with fart pipes trying hard to impress other boys.

    Ed shits on you. Good on him for that

  • @edsstillagod , i see youve switched personalities again Noyd, you psychotic piece of shit, waste of skin. WE know you wank at Eddie's video's, and Ed thanx you for yet another visit/veiw to his video's, they count everyday, making EVH video's beyond godable!!! Sign that organ donor card Noyd, then eat shit and die a painful death. EVH is God, the Noyd is a seed of Satan

  • @Lushasucr I see youre incapable of Responding to tihs Vdeo. Allow  me to give you an example

    Lets see, Ed appears to wank furiously, pause, wank, pause, wank, pause. Its musically much like a teen boy in a ricer car with fart pipes. gunning the engine, cranking the stereo, revving the engine again, letting tires squeal, the cheap plastic trim jitters to the delight of the teen's peers but the exercise is pointless overall. Its not a great solo at all.. .

  • @edsstilagod , now youre wanking to my posts too? youre a pcshychotic fuck , keep trolling Noyd, whassamatta Noyd, 3 am where you are, and you cant sleep? too many voices in your head? sign that organ donor card, let Billy live. EVH is God, the Noyd is a Satan seed.

  • @Lushsucr its enough for me to know for certain that Ed shits on the likes of inbred idiots too asinine to Resppond to This Video as youtube asks, flailing a virtual dick around in the hopes that Ed would notice and give a shit. Which he does - on your empty head.

  • @edsstillagod , Joran, uh uh uh./....wank away ...faggot. EVH is God, the Noyd is a seed of Satan, now eat shit, and die a painful death Noyd. 4 am, littley Noidy cant sleep??? awwww maybe its all those usernames or voices that run wild. Eddie thanx you for yet another veiw/hit on his video, making it even that more godly!

  • @Lushuscr yep, the above video does conjure images of boys wanking off amongst each other, you're right. I never did that myself , but Eds fans blindly slavishly adoring him despite his odious noodling on Eruption lets me see that image. I still don't care for tje scene.

  • @edsstillagod , Joran,....heres another hatemail...reply and wank now...come on Noyd....wnaka wanka...stare at your EVH posters on your wall..and wanka....EVH is God, the Noyd is a seed of Satan

  • @Lushsucramqueerassfodder sees Eds tits and lapses into dim rote projection; nothing but off-topic asinine phallocentric blather befitting a generic inbred redneck.

  • @edsstillagod , Joran, shouldnt you be getting ready for work? o yeah, thats right youre on welfare......listen to voice # 32 BNoyd...do it..Let Billy live!EVH is God, the Noyd is a seed of Satan

  • @Lucicsux imagine when Ed finally reads your sub-asinine drivel and your crap inspires him to retire forever rather than attract a 'vast army' of youtube jihadsits lik yourself to another concert.

    duh but Ed you're God fleshlight your'e God duh Viagra you're God duh jerk off you're God fags must die you're God blacks suck you're God

    lol you can't undo the mountain of asinine idoicies you posted, Markie Chapass. Goodpseed. Your (sic) screwed.

  • youtube invites people to post videos and to comment on videos, create dialogue. What do Ed's best fans offer? shit piss fuck Ed is God ass cunt bitch Ed is God niggers die Ed is god fags bitches Ed is God shit ass fuck cock dick ass urine shit Ed is God

    All I see and hear on the above video is Ed wanking around on guitar. C+

  • I dont think you understand what a tribute band is.

  • Imagine that.. all that tone before modeling amps, emulators.. man, killer tone here.. i'm more a Malmsteen, Blackmore fan, but appreciate EVH's contributions.. and i agree, Frangenguitar is still his best axe. Don't care too much for the new Wolfgang guitar.

  • nice job!..... but i am SO sick of fuckin tribute bands gettin rich and fame for playing shit they didnt even write, yeah they are way good at playing but they didnt write ANY of what they are playing... anyone can read a tab and lyrics people

  • man, you don't need to write everything you play. these solos are clear improvisation they do once, but they fix these improvisations in their heads and then they can change it or play it in live concerts. but never say they don't know how they do that. You're practically saying it.

  • HAHAHA!! "RICH" ???!!! Are you fuckin kidding me ?! Who the fuck gets rich in a cover band ?! Hey look pal, these guys do it cause they love to play,period! You cant make much money AT ALL doing tributes, you idiot! What are you like 13 yrs old er somthing ? Get a fucking clue on what MONEY is,how its made,how much is how much & learn a thing or 2 before posting ,numbnutz !!

  • okay? yeah lemme go to the library and read everything i can about money, that will definentaly solve this problem. you sir are an idiot. quit anon internet raging fag

  • Fuck off.......tool....

  • @hazor777 Great response,,, i play in a cover band ,,, we play everything from van halen to ac/dc to the beach boys,,, were the hell is our million??????? lol,lol,lol.

  • vikingbush, I am with you all the way!! I hate tribute bands.

  • Comment removed

  • @jfrockon they're not dissing this guy because he's covering someone else's song, they're dissing him because he's dressed like him too. it's sad really.

  • @arising87 I get it... but I think as a Halen tribute it adds to the event. IMO....

  • @jfrockon it does add to it. but really, there are so many VH tribute bands out there. what's the point in starting another one? they should put their talent towards original music.

  • @arising87 Well I'd say they are doing it for the love of VH music and for fun. Original music can be too. There are already more "original" bands than the world needs right now. I am pretty tired of "modern" heavy music.... it's all about cookie monster vocals, clown makeup, demons and goblins.... the bigger part of the genre is pretty annoying to me. What the hell happened to great musicians with great singers playing songs that are not all gloom and doom? Just my opinion. :)

  • @jfrockon I agree. all these so called original bands aren't so original. they're cookie cutter bands. all of them the same, copying someone else's style instead of doing their own thing. we need more diversity like the old days.

  • Man, I'm diggin the hell out of that tone! Well done!

  • I agree the real talent is to create something from Nothing, Thats what made Ed so Great.. I'm glad I play as a hobby only....GW

  • ha, all of that is me too

  • Write your own stuff, no artistic ability here. Yeah it takes skill to play what someone else has already writen but artistic talent is creating your own music. These bands are so gay.

  • @cattlebeef Fer sure. Originality is where it is at. Anyone can cop someone else's riffs. An artist takes the chops and makes them their own -- Howard Nema

  • its kinda dumb that if your that good you need to try to be somebody else

  • i know he should write his own songs with a talent like that

  • this is not eddie

    but still cool

  • Anyone with some guitar skills can duplicate, real talent is creating your own music... Going to see a band like this is like going to see the original Halloween movie and it is awsome then you go and see the shitty remake years later and it sucks because the writer doesn't have the talent to write anything original.

  • awsumness!

  • pretty good (some parts)

  • Cancel what I just said, you're right. My video lagged and I missed that this was a cover band. LOL. Well now I feel like a tool.

  • This may come as a shock but Van Halen is one of the most influential bands in rock music history, No identity crisis here. Just pure skill, talent, fun, and MUSIC.

  • Identity crisis bands seem to be all the rage... like silicone implants. FAKE!

  • judging by this video and how obsessed this dude is, i bet he would suck eddie van helens dick if it was in front of him. VAN HALEN

  • get a style man!!!

    EVH there is only one!!!!

  • Hey, if that's this guy's thing let him do his thing. This guy is a much cleaner player than Eddie was live.

  • In 1978 that was much impressive than today!

  • nice.

  • sick

  • average speed! to get the real effect he should do a line of coke like eddie did.
