Van Halen 2008 Spanish Fly

[luiscadcam]

why don't you confirm what you think before talking?

look for spanish fly.

It demonstrates you don't know anything about Eddie....

[willprich]

what?

[daddywhetz]

Alvin Lee played with a drumstick too

[TheCombination87]

this isnt spanish fly.................

[t4v1nh0]

Is Little Guitars

[revelinabandon]

Let's see him play drums with a guitar pick.

[Berserkaroid]

1:01 tone jizz

[XxANDY2047Xx]

LIES! I DIDNT HEAR SPANISH FLY! If u thought that alternate picking part was Spanish Fly, you're a dumb ass. That is Little Guitars

[roguemofo8]

you have disgraced yourself and the entire guitar community! i vote for you to be sentenced to solitary confinement

[MrSjives]

I was thinking, why the F would people dislike EVH? Then I realized EVH isn't playing Spanish Fly.

[skiba13]

bando de filho da puta!! essa musica é outra!

[VanTorment]

CADE A SPANISH FLY, PORRA???

[Biggestchargersfan21]

THis is the intro to little guitars. what the hell man. do you not know you van halen songs. you are here by banned from anything that has to do with van halen until you learn the songs

[maglynn13198]

@Biggestchargersfan21 i completely agree. could people be any more stupid?



[Zapzapkid]

only america do you see guitar playing with a drum stick:3

[sprinkler5802]

this isn't spanish fly

[hirskdubbi]

damn eddie had some rough nights guitarwise.didnt he have to have surgery on his hand?

[FosterShredsGuitar]

WHERE THE FUCK WAS SPANISH FLY?! :(

[ycuy]

Oklahoma City I think.

[Allison514368]

I wonder what unluckly person that drumstick he threw ended up hitting...

[Sub54Zero]

This is little guitars,if ur gonna go to a van halen concert u gotta know the songs

[KinGodTakeOver]

This is the intro of Little Guitars, NOT Spanish Fly. Whoever posted this is an idiot.

[ritter89]

This isn't Spanish Fly!?! It's the intro to Little Guitars from Diver Down.

[SecondSalvo]

ok, cause this isn't the intro to little guitars or anything...

[5150ronald]

the one who posted this never heard van halen at all

[SomeDude0nline]

clearly not spanish fly as stated but this song is epic the tremelo picking with the hammer-ons at the same time is pretty sweet

[insideout91ify]

this aint no spanish fly dude

[ketiun96]

ORLY? THIS IS LITTLE GUITARS

[Lokitoooish]

You make waste my time fool ¬¬'

[gutairshredder1]

this the intro to little gutairs u idiot..............i can play both spanish fly and little gutairs intro this is little gutairs intro

[Br00tzilla]

@gutairshredder1 congratulations.

[zacbaht8]

its little guitars moron

[ccarnage556]

This is just sad...

[Beefcakes155]

lol retard video poster.

[joelakastud123]

why do people act like he is such a great guitarist when all he does is random tapping and flashy stuff with the distortion that beginner guitarists could do

go listen to a real guitarist like yngwie play this guy sucks!

[rckn4ever]

@joelakastud123 Yngwie is technically great in his classic pagini style violin style but there is no real soul, just robotics. That's why he never had a hit song. You need to listen to albums not videos that are recorded on cell phones.

Eddie adds new elements to guitar playing that were never done before. He has won numerous awards and been featured on many magazine covers as the best guitarist over the last 30 years. Eddie gets more soul out of one note than Yngwie can get with a dozen.

[joelakastud123]

@rckn4ever That is an absolutely stupid observation

he never had a hit song? its all a hit every time he performs it cuz its always done perfectly

and he isnt an overrated pop star!

and saying that he plays with no feel is absolutely stupid listen to blue or blitzkrieg or ....anything by him and if u say yngwie plays with no feel and van halen who mainly just does none melodic taping and random noises does?

you seriously have to ear for music what so ever

[rckn4ever]

@joelakastud123 You just do not get it. Eddie harnassed the sound from his guitar in a way no one has done before. Making it part of the melody. Your idea that it is random noise clearly shows you have no idea what innovation means, let alone good, kick ass songs.

ive been playing for over 20 years buddy, I have an ear for music. What do you do? Take your meds and strum the bongos? Idiot

[joelakastud123]

@rckn4ever I dont care how long uve been playing

u actually think the van halen is any where close to let alone better than yngwie malmsteen whether it be in feel or "soul" yngwie plays music fit for orchestra and even has played with an orchestra if the passion of an orchestral piece has no feel or soul then this world makes no sense what so ever! and using that excuse is just like saying " he doesnt play the style i like so that must mean hes a shitty guitarist" ur argument is total shit

[rckn4ever]

@joelakastud123 Well, you just proved my point then. Ywngie needs a full damn orchestra in order to get one ounce of soul to Eddies solo pound. All Ywngie plays are riffs that are mainly 100 years old plus, ripoffs from guys like Pagini albeit with a different arrangement. Yawn...

Eddie is original and that is a concept you will never understand. You need to take your lame arguments elsewhere..say...a preschool for the deaf.

[joelakastud123]

@rckn4ever i might as well

how do i argue with such a biased stubborn jackass?

[Poohead3000000]

that's not spanish fly, that's little guitars

fail

[NickW0608]

if i was eddie van halen i would punch you in the face for posting this vid with that title.....good vid though, just fail title.

[davisgolfne1]

If you don't know what the song is, than don't post it you dunce.

[ritter89]

Man, when the poster's can't even get the titles correct, we've really hit the shitter. This is the intro to Little Guitars from Diver Down. Wrong album, wrong song. Yikes

[Biggestchargersfan21]

This is not spanish fly this is the Start to Little Guitars. Spanish fly has to hand tapping in it like eruption but on lower notes

[bloodrave34]

WHY DID YOU FEED US LIES FROM THE TABLE CLOTH?!?!?!?!

[Southernmetalhippie]

@bloodrave34 Where the fuck are you?

[LobotomizedZombie]

@bloodrave34 I love you for that <3

[VHflyboy]

@bloodrave34 System of a down reference on a van halen video...this is awesome

[greenday376]

@bloodrave34 system of a down

[VinceTarrance]

@bloodrave34 hahaha

[LEvenSKY777]

This is not spanish fly, Little guitars intro is what this is

[beowulven]

This is not Spanish Fly, you cunt.

[wldntknow]

Whats teh song at :40??? SOmeone answer me please O:

[Scottish995]

@wldntknow its the introduction for the song "Little Guitars" by Van Halen

[mozzy2410]

I cant believe there are so many youtube "wannabes" slagging off about one of, if not THE, greatest and most innovative rock guitarists the world has ever seen... You c**ts make me sick...

[danabe12]

Thats little guitars man... still great lol

[kickflipperland12]

@icthruu4evr what rockstar doesnt drink??

[ProbableFiction]

I may as well chime in, too. That's not "Spanish Fly". It's "Little Guitars (Intro)." You want to change the title of the video.

[bloodboi96]

That's not Spanish Fly, numb nuts. That's the Intro Solo to Little Guitars.  If you don't know that then you're so fucking retarded. I don't even listen to Van Halen and I know that, I just like a few of their songs and I still knew that. Van Halen is awesome and Eddie is a fucking legend.

[100000metal]

is little guitars.

[paul61842]

@icthruu4evr LMAO! Lets see you do better. :l

[toxicmonkey9991]

ALMOST LIKE JIMMY PAGES BOW solo just with a drumstick

[edsstillnotgod]

on-topic, Spanish Fly and Eruption type solo are musical wankfests, much like a teen boy hoping to score with peers by showing off his ricer cars fart pipes and loud stereo. And check out its loud paint job, will you! Next we let the tires squeal so much the plastic trim shudders!

Golly.

[Lucicsux]

@edsstillagod shhhh Noyd hear the footsteps of justice??? LOL.....EVH is God

[edsstillnotgod]

@Lushsucr all I hear is your asinine VH militia fart pipes blaring - in Eds name, of course.

[pabloramirez716]

@edsstillnotgod Adnoydal---When can I butt-fuck your sister ???

hahahahahahaahaha

EVH is GOD !!!

[Lucicsux]

@edsstillnotgod/Adnoydall your diagnosis,  Delusions typically occur in the context of neurological or mental illness, although they are not tied to any particular disease and have been found to occur in the context of many pathological states (both physical and mental). However, they are of particular diagnostic importance in psychotic disorders and particularly in schizophrenia, paraphrenia, manic episodes of bipolar disorder, and psychotic depression.

[lungduck]

eddie is a classic expample of why you shouldnt get married (and so is alex skolnick for that matter, going to NY quiting testament and digging jazz..hmmm?) but eddie got his self esteem and cofidence trampled on, traded coke for booze. i think he turned gay on us. probably him and dave have something going, i bet they pair up with sting. washed up losers.

[headlesssoldier]

I don't know what happend to the guy, becuase he's my idol. He really seemed to lose his ability in the last 7 years. I don't know if its drugs, etc...he went from being a very "on" player to.....I don't know what. the guy was drunk his whole carreer and seemed to be able to play really well. so who knows. he doesn't seem to be able to pick a sinlge thing. doesn't matter. he's still my guitar idol.

[16665150]

Out of tune 

[godspeakfire]

Wow you are truly an idiot...... if thats Spanish Fly I AM BATMAN MOTHERFUCKER!~

[haybatsu]

idiot thats little guitars fagot

[TheInvalidChronicles]

tuning? half step right? thats crazy

[evh7775150]

Damn wrong label! This is LITTLE GUITARS INTRO! I hate to say it, but damn Ed, your a cent or 2 out of tune with your other strings. But we still digs ya man! 

[Jhuth18]

i am tired of people ragging on eddie. he is still one of the greatest

[DDferrari]

These days, Eddie sounds like a guy at guitar center trying to play Van Halen on a guitar he's thinking of buying.

[liquidbend]

@DDferrari No shit everytime I go into guitar center I can hear this shit and not pay tons of money to see a fool all fucked up on stage. The dude doesnt even look like he enjoys playing music anymore. I met him about fifteen years ago in Park City Utah and he was cool but you could tell he was all fucked up. He looked like a homeless dude really wearing these fucked up clothes and shoes. He was of course in the Bar getting plastered...the dude is lost.

[lungduck]

this guy should have kept his shit together. i grew up thinking he was the best. seeing this shit makes me sick. its pathetic to see a legend in this way.

[liquidbend]

@lungduck No shit I have no respect for this dude in fact I think he is an asshole all the shit that he claimed that he fired Sammy for ....well he has done. Sammy was lazy right...remember well who hasnt put out an album in ten years? Then he said that he would never ever tour with Dave for the money OH REALLY WHAT THE FUCK HE TOURED ALRIGHT AND CHARGED PEOPLE ALOT OF MONEY TO PLAY LIKE A DRUNK FOOL WITH A BROKEN HAND. Oh he said that page played like he had a broken hand WHAT THE FUCK.....

[lungduck]

@liquidbend i hear you bro. its llike they became characatures of themselves. they are the epitome of a has been. eddie lost the fire and would take more focus and dedication than his unsobered life will ever let him have. it will never happen. he is a huge disappointment. its like if superman turned into a drunk useless nobody. too bad he just didnt stick to using coke. those were the days!!

[hitmizan]

maybe ed is old and forgot how to play his own songs???????i mean i forget how to play old shit i knew on guitar,i think its lack of practice and age.

[dwkirtley8]

this isnt spanish fly..its the intro to little guitars.

[PJHAIGHT]

Ed sounds drunk. Ed looks drunk. Ed is drunk.

[metalema6]

that is little guitars!!!

[allen2112]

[ashatan69]

Spanish Fly....either Eddie was drunk when he played it or you were drunk when you uploaded it.

[eisentzgruppe]

But this is little's guitars intro -.-"

[devillopez909]

[InfiniteTom3770]

[codyjt5150]

[DropkickMurphys12]

[L34th3rm4n]

It ain't flying nao :D

[kapingedu]

U ass goblin!!! Do you even know which album that was on????

[JacksonWoodard]

@kapingedu

Lol Little Guitars is from the Diver Down album.

[Trelamse8]

Little Guitars Intro

not spanish fly

[Champzion]

fuck off this is not the spanish fly

[zeppelinman69]

wait a minute! thats the intro to little guitars! wtf man everything eddie does people just say its either spanish fly or eruption!

[TaliumBoys]

really? this is not spanish fly.

[pepectm]

@Adnoydal Nah, Everything the fans do, is Eruption, spanish fly.

[R0cke]

@TaliumBoys He cliped a short version of the "Real" spanish fly into it ;)

[Waxos33hun]

spanish fly.LOL :D

[maneat94p]

this truely little guitars because spanish fly was only done with an acoustic guitar but its a really spanish solo especially for a electric guitar with a bit of distortion and yes eddie does us distortion

[Gomezchr]

Yea Exactly This ain't spanish fly..its little guitars what a tard

[bigmatt106]

....little guitar?

[blackabyys]

ya thats ttly the intro 2 little guitars

[mrod4991]

thats not spanish fly, thats the little guitars intro

[eqsmooth]

@mrod4991 it is also awful. He stopped being impressive in 1984. The first 2 albums first 2 tours genius. I went to the small venues and then saw what happened in 1984 in the arenas.Shameful. Was Hagar the only guy who could hold his liquor and ego?

[MetallicBill]

@mrod4991 Well, it got ppl to click, and the audio is iffy but the vid looks great. I played a VH guitar before the Wolfgang, that was an odd little axe...felt just too small and the bridge was not the type tremolo I play on

[KarateMazdur]

i think the drumstick thing was his version of Jimmy Page with a violin bow. u can tell Eddie's practiced that one plenty of times before actually doing it on stage l:/

[VanxHalen]

@KarateMazdur hmmm... paige practiced like crazy, he did bow stuff before he was with led zeppelin, experimenting with blues james and shit... Thats basically what dazed and confused is.

[aoplaysguitar]

haha was he playing with a drumstick

[widepass]

This is the Intro to 'Little Guitars' DUDE!!!!

[itzfast]

Get it right! This song is the Intro to 'Little Guitars' off Van Halen's Diver Down album not 'Spanish Fly' off the Van Halen II album.

[408alpha]

This guitar does not have the tone of the old frankenstien. The notes are not as clear on the intro to little guitars in this vid as compared to the old franky. I swear his guitar tone sounds like Mick Mars dr. feelgood era. These days it does.

[DropkickMurphys12]

You know your badass when your playing guitar with a fucking drumstick

[priest1989]

this is amazing!!!!

Godbless Eddie

[tollan23]

Little guitars intro. Sort out the title of the video

[Champane97]

Little did we know what we know now, Eddie's left hand was giving him major grief for a good part of the tour. He got it operated and is on course for a major assault in 2010!! By the way Tony Iommi had the same operation as Eddie

[zXpwn3dXz]

Its little guitars spanish fly is acustic lol

[Bigmalletrs]

Is he wasted or..

[downincognito76]

Spanish fly without a doubt, it all rocks

[GuitarLegend310]

gosh why do some people have to be so harsh? is it so hard to just say "that's little guitars" and not be a jerk while doing it? we all make mistakes

[Slurpie325]

little guitarsD:

[turdboy5150]

what the hell that's little guitars dumb ass

[kwm58]

little guitars

[ohadrules]

thats Little Guitars dude!

[TheDissident77]

He mxr80, you're right. Spanish Fly is on VHII, Little Guitars is on Diver Down. Yeah I did get them mixed up. Guess its been awhile since I listened to the albums. Thanks and especially for not being a dick like it seems most people on here act.

[TheDissident77]

No 'rude people for no reason' the guitar solo is Spanish Fly, the song following it is 'Little Guitars'. So before you go being crude and brave on the internet, check your facts.

[mxr80]

Sorry bud, but thats Little Guitars and not Spanish Fly you got the two mixed up. It happens, Spanish Fly has an amazing tapping sequence at the end, search for it on ITunes or here on Youtube and you'll see.

[L34th3rm4n]

I think he ment that the start is from the Spanish Fly's end, I'm not sure if it is...

[bw1231996]

That's Little Guitars not Spanish Fly.

[thabryanbays]

thats Little Guitars dumbass

[tomyates089]

umother fuckers are retarded it little guitars

[Guitarwannabee]

Thats little guitars

[Hunkola]

You must know JACK SHIT about Van Halen if you think that's "Spanish Fly"..........have you even listened to VH 2 at all ??

[SimonDC008]

little guitars

[TVartDude]

so, where is spanish fly?

[petesasauce]

That's not Spanish Fly, butt munch. It's the intro to Little Guitars. Stop listening to Britney Spears, it's confusing you with real music...

[CatGameDaiyE]

@petesasauce lmao @ "butt munch" but wtf does Britney Spears have to do w/this?

[KarateMazdur]

yea... thats not spanish fly - intro to little guitars. and he must have been drunk out of his mind for the drumstick thing :P

[killer1one1]

sounds more like the intro to little guitars

[gtarshredr]

yeah, def not spanish fly...sounds like intro to little guitars

[ziggy72170]

What's  up with the Drum stick,,,,( Jimmy Page ) ?

[RoseLovesAnime2]

@pochankitty wow we can practically tell you don't like him.

[stratdem]

fuck jimmy page! jimmy page could give king edward a good BALL LICKING but that it. eddie van halen SHITS! all over jimmy page pal thays a fact and not some BULLSHIT OPINION!

[ziggy72170]

Hey now ,, I won't go quite that far ... Heck , (you) being a EVH - Fan should know , that Ed has commented Jimmy , with starting the Neck Tapping era .... And I've seen in past Shows,,Ed doing the Jimmy Hendrix thing of Burning a guitar .... And other time's I've seen him act like Pete Townshend ... " Yes ,, Ed , has his Guitar Hero's" ...

[stratdem]

the bottom line is jimmy page is not even close to the guitarist edward van halen is.

[theduosevennick]

This Is The Same Stage As The Beginning of Guitar hero van halen

[bBpro10]

thats why its in the game

[esausaurioz]

this is not spanish fly!

[pwnage0fn00bs]

whats the song at 0:42 is that spanish fly?

[n2112bytor2112p]

read the title

[pwnage0fn00bs]

well everyones saying that not all of this is spanish fly

[spaceeskimo11t]

i dont think thats spanish fly, i think that was the intro to little guitars.

[00DLR00]

Why is this called spanish fly? He doesn't even play it, tho it is kinda sweet

[L34th3rm4n]

Yea, this is not spanish fly, and the real spanish fly was recorded with a tape recorder on their holiday in Spain, they didn't even change it at all, from the original recording

[sonicwhackmeister]

Shhhh.....Eddies playing!
