Eddie Van Halen-Eruption '04

[VanHalenWorshiper]

wow for being in probably the worst shape of his life right here, he still kicks ass!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gboschini]

I agree, he was wasted during the majority of the concerts. Thank god he got reivindicated on the 2008 tour... sober and neat!

[PatVanHalen5150]

One of the few times Ed didn't suck in 2004.

[warlockshredder91]

drunk or not he is still the best

[zack5150]

I believe this from Albany NY not NJ.

[ldragonheart]

wow my computer speakers broke to this song

[billtei]

I was there, awesome show- thanks for the memories!

[AngusVanHendrixCo]

Wow Ed's rockin' this one, and this was the 2004 tour...

[BLUEFIRE444]

OH YAEH!!!!

[kudochop]

As bad as things went in '04', EVH kicks some ass right there!

[alleqonten]

Long live the King!

[Growl60]

Ed is alot better now. It seems like since 1998 until now was his worst state. He was always drunk, filthy for one, dressed like a hobo - usually shirtless, and drunk out of his mind, and he was the worlds sloppiest player.

Im so thankful he went to rehab and got his head back on his shoulders. The man is back and he is king.

[TheNick5150]

this is a great solo but you can tell hes drunk. and its weird to see your idol play in such a messed up state. Eddie is the king of ten fingers and six strings but he has lost his love for the music hes playing. and it sounds like hes just running through it just to get it over with. what ever happen to the days of tapping with your eyes closed so you could hear the music your playing? i know hes better now but still this is a sad chapter in the EVH story..

[Evostratdime]

better than some of his other solos from that tour..still Eddie's my inspiration im not gonna say the best or greatest and risked getting bitched at.

[ringolingo123]

I think that this is good playing but all it is, is tapping loudly lol Jimi Hendrix had the soul not just volume!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOUD!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[5150Luke5150]

ed was so drunk and depressed at this time that his playing is just worse...look for solos like from the 5150 tour for example

[iownallnoobs]

all concerts are loud

[bengel1968]

Just watch the video: Insanely amazing guitarsolo by Fernando Miyata. He beats this guy up!!!

[Didi140276]

EVH is the best guitar player of all times

[nicholasclark12]

eddy van halen is the ultimate guitar genious alright so stop your hating, fucking emos

[sixx15si]

want to go their live again

[Highball1911]

DAMN! that was awsome...hes getting quicker as he gets older!! Love his look too. Like an old VET, he looks mean! (lot better than the tight pants & silk shirts in the old days...lol!)

[TMUSICIAN]

2004, It's amazing how 30 YEARS exactly after his beguinning, EVH is still current, modern and virtuose considered. I meant that exactely 30 YEARS ago, he created something 30 YEARS ahead those days !

[hate222]

Fucking morons if you like good guitar jams and you talk shit about eddie than you must listen to like aiden or as i lay dying. fucking emos

[kevh2589]

How bout nobody questions eddies guitar genius because his is one of the best.

[mattbathon]

it might not be that hard but u shouldnt say shit cause he will own u

[applesauc3]

damnit i was guuna go to that

oh and eddie looks weird in this video

[soadrox1]

gymman1031 it has not been postponed, it had been canceled!

[gymman1031]

Bad news! It was announced on 02/20/07 that the supposed 2007 with Roth has been postponed definitely!

[permanentgrin]

He`s become a parady of himself. All slop and no fire

[MOSKII58]

interesting comment

[wallysblues]

evh is brilliant period. nothing compare to his musical firework.

[shadowlink50]

evh kicks ass

[thegreenglassdoor]

he is GOD

[xaozzz]

Wow, finger tapping and whammy raping. Not that hard you dumabss...

[ffyfan15]

u do it. post it and ill comment. go ahead, get started.

[darkw1nt3r]

Become part of an incredibly well known band, sell millions of records, then play with that speed and revolutionise guitar playing like he did, then you might be able to say something.

[xaozzz]

You're an idiot, you know that? There are thousands of kids/adults out there that can play eruption guitar even better than Eddie. If he just sits in his room all day or doesn't get noticed by anyone than obviously he's not going to sell records and be famous to everyone.

[markutsc]

brown sound originally had nothing to do with eddies guitar playing.. it dealt with the sound that came from alex's snare drum budubum.

[highway19]

Dam you can say he needs to get his shit together after a jam like that. He is nothing but Brilliant..

[jimbobisee]

Eddie! the short hair doesnt do it dude.

[Jrempire]

Hey. He doesn't have short hair dude, it's up in a pony tail above his head. We were there. We have the pix to prove it.

[clisim]

All of my questions will be answered when we find out whether or not he can still write. The stuff EVH has written during his career borders on genius!

[djkorn1]

I think it was just too much echo... or a bad recording. He was rippin it on this one.

[DrLobotomy666]

The tapping part is always gonna kick ass.

[jasaggio]

Hey....you can't say bad things about Ed...everything and everyone changes....he is one of the greatest rock/metal guitarists ever and a true innovator.

[djkorn1]

Didn't like his guitar sound on that tour... too hard to pick out notes.

[PurpleHaze06]

He's still the daddy, he just needs to sort himself out. Look at the other 80s shred legends like Vai and Malmsteen... they're still in their prime playing wise, probaly even better than they were. Eddie needs to get his shit together.

[TJWOOHOO]

u kno...he looks terrible but his sound is still great...he invented this thing so he can play it any way he wants

[lordofthetrees]

I believe Hendrix and clapton started all this, thats why Ed learned all of their stuff when he was younger.

[cptnoremac]

I didn't enjoy that even a little bit.

[permanentgrin]

what a mess! he`s lost his command and is now wasting what talent he has left on porn music.

[Eddieking23]

You obviously dont know whats going on lately with Ed and Van Halen!!!WHY THE HELL ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT.. WHO CARES IF HE IS DOING PORN MUSIC, HE'S DOING SOMETHING ELSE THAT NOT MANY OTHERS HAVE DONE(FIRST ROCKSTAR TO DO MUSIC FOR A PORNO).. GO CHECK OUT A FEW WEBSITES TO SEE WHATS GOING ON IDIOT....

[jeffhealy009]

too much distortion so i say suck

[jem777lng]

it's not as distorted as u think. trust me ed's sound is very clean compared to alot of peoples

[budubum]

dude. his tone is not based on disto.its brown sound.if u dont know what it is then u shouldnt talk.its powertube disto/transformers/and speaker disto his getting the brown.the other disto u hear is porbobly from the distortion when they made this clip from. nOT ON HIS AMP.

[diverdownup5150noho]

never lost it

[watergrass]

THIS GUY IS A GOD

[Sonicdreamcast]

It sounds pretty much like the CD, he got a lot better at his own solo.

[marloni]

ed sounds great here

[fuckyalife]

no im just saying, hes a good player. but i dont think he knows what directin hes heading in. everything just sounds thrown together

[fuckyalife]

its impossible to pick out just one single note. i guess the whole thing gotta be a distorted mesh

[sljs3413]

stfu, what do you want him to do play it the same way every single time?
