Van Halen - Toronto - 2007 - Eddie Van Halen Guitar Solo pt1

[MissTeenPregnancy]

He's EddieVanHalen. Nothing more needs to be said. This musician has nothing to prove to anyone. One of the most interesting amazing guitarists ever. ooops, i said too much eh ?!

[TheHockeyCentral]

So sad to hear NOBODY acknowledge the playing of the intro to Women in Love.

Shows how many bullshit fans were there at the shows only there to hear Jump and Panama.

These comments dont make much sense! It is not a competition, but some make believe. He is a better salesman these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vanhalenking]

If you want to hear two finger power chords all day, than Kirk Hammet is your man. LOL EVH is the KING.

[vanhalenking]

Truly the master at teqn. wether it be tapping/phrasing, harmonics, using the tremolo bar ( I hate when ppl call it the whammy bar). No one can play circles around EVH. Not ygnvie, steve vai, Kirk hammet, paul gilbert, or whomever you might throw out there. Oh yea and not even slash.

[spawnofwheezedog]

there are definitely players than can play "BETTER" than eddie, but hes the GREATEST of all time.

[frenchy5150]

well man,i love MR VAN HALEN!!!guys such as vai,malmstee,gilbert etc...are only guitar heroes(but you can't deny the fact that they are technicaly ahead of him)and slash?well he's out of the race since day one,i agree but EDDIE'S STILL THE POPE TO ME,FULL STOP!

[vanhalenking]

How come Ed never uses a wireless??? It is the year 2008. LOL Im sure we would all sound that good if we could afford that rig.. LOL

[spawnofwheezedog]

he doesnt like digital stuff. he says he can almost hear the gaps between the ones and the zeros. i cant blame him, personally, he jumps around enough on stage anyway.

[saugusg16]

foxheadspeed - Ted Nugent may be some of those things you called him, (yes he is a prick) but regardless, he is a smokin guitarist. I believe the tone quality of using a the cord is much better than wireless.

That's why Ed and Ted use it.

[mofemobile]

rofl dam look at those amps..

[poonis3]

i was at the show on the 7th, the solo was much different... meaning he's improvising most of it

[deerecub1977]

live it up while you can

[bethlehemfan88]

Ed is freekin' awesome, but he's essentially played the same solo for years. I like the part in the beginning where he starts to noodle on some blues. Wouldn't it be awesome to hear Ed burn up some blues for a good part of his solo?

I love his low gain stuff the best! It really shows his touch on the instrument.

[amsterdam5150]

Notice that his guitar is plugged in with a cable ala Ted Nugent style? Interesting.

[KevyNova]

"ala Ted Nugent style?"

Since when is Ted Nugent the only one to use a cable?

[amsterdam5150]

I didn't say he was the only one, now did I? Geez :-/

[foxheadspeed]

hey to break it to ya chief but one ted Nugent's a fucking idiot redneck nazi  son of bitch! o and plenty other people plug in their guitar.

[amsterdam5150]

Yes, I know TN is a superb turd sucker - but that is not the point. I merely conveyed that EVH was playing corded (rather than FM-packed) and it reminded me of TN. C'mon people, read the post - think hard - then respond with a reasonable educated response :-/ Cheers.

ye he still rocks!!!!
