[Germ629]

Holy Crap! Why the Hell is this dude's videos getting removed? WTF? Is everyone jealous and having it done on purpose? Mr. Kent Carlevi you need to do some teaching videos...I would love to be able to play a 4th of what you can!

[daverunner]

[ronjcharity]

[sde628]

Holy **** ive watched this 10 times in a row!!! Love it!!

[HotRodTom2]

Hey buddy, why don't you try making a mistake every now and then so I don't feel like I suck so bad?! lol

[Mr5150]

I remember when Kent used to post on the evh forums. Geez, that had to be about 4 years ago now. Times flies. Last I heard from him he was gettin ready to have a baby and was planning on getting rid of a few guitar related things. BTW Kent Carlevi is not his real name.

[MrAvalanche04]

by far the best guy too cover eddie

[psuengineer84]

Fuck, dude, that is awesome. This song kicks ass and you capture that well in your playing.

[MoLoToVBoB]

HOLY SHIT !

[sundaypunchfan]

[TheMarcuscamby13]

[cabomikee]

[metterg]

PEPP5150, GOD I HOPE IM INTERMEDIATE SOME DAY!



[adam872]

I never get tired of watching this video. The playing, but especially the tone -- absolutely incredible.

[JayV523]

[guitarjim5150]

thank you Mr JayO for putting these back up!!! Cant believe they pulled him off... thanks again!!!

[mikez199]

OMG! that was fukin awesome , kent carlevi = van halen??

[Mrslater0011]

Where can I find tabs for that song. I can only play the intro

[4redrocker]

Killer!!

[HostileHST]

OMG, somebody does something he loves and he's bannded for it, FUCK YOU AMERICA!

[rorypebs]

what happened to kent ?

[slump75]

This makes my winky shrivel up and hide!!!!

[PoloSopot]

I discovered Kent there is 4 or 5 years ago, in this time he was still on YouTube. If I play guitar now it's because Kent exist. This guy gimme chills each time. It's unbelievable how he plays. He's unique. Without contestation the greatest player in the world. This guys use no tab he play the ear (wow what ear ;). What technique and what perfection.

It's a shame you aren't there now, I miss you man, I'm so curious to know your news videos.

PS: Fuck Billy Gibbons production!

Sorry to my english

[Warthogfan]

Hell yeah

[RYEALLEN]

Best on youtube. 1 person dislikes????

[dragon21247]

the sound is so realistic what monitor set up are you using kent??

[1jetzfan]

Awesome!

[Luiginerd10]

got tabs........there is just ABSOLUTLY NOTHING wrong with this cover....its that good

[Luiginerd10]

TABS PLEASE! I BEG YOU!

[ddccaatt]

Oh, I think you missed a 'G' in there somewhere.

[ddccaatt]

Damn! That's all you had to say.

[tim34]

eddie got jealous so it was removed;) the guy kicks ass!

[holydrewskie]

I think the copyright issue might be because he has the actual song playing in the background...

[RastaIsAStateOfMind]

good clean playing . nice bends . always liked eddie

[pepp5150]

What I love the most is the video here==Kent Carlevi - Van Halen Poundcake and Mean Street go to the 5:54== mark and see Kent Rock out being Kent Amazing opeing riff!! where is Kent where is he now!!! Peace enjoy!!!

[pepp5150]

Fr--king  Kent-Halen!!!!

[5H4V3D89]

When I watch this, I think of EVH writing it, and coming up with it, and I think, what the fuck man. How good do you have to be to come up with this stuff, and how good to even cover it? F'ing great job dude. I could start practicing this now and not have it down when I'm 100 yrs old... I think Jimi hendrix would see this and be like ya I was gonna write that, but I said fuck that and got high instead lolz...

[interchaos]

fuck, thats dope

[lifeson241]

He's too good !!!

[pepp5150]

Danm this never gets old,,Kent make's it  look's so easy!!!!

[NeoMetalx]

@pepp5150 This is intermediate...

[slump75]

@NeoMetalx i just went over to your channel and looked at your playing. you calling this video intermediate is kind of cute. you wear panties don't you?

[bkeener86]

@NeoMetalx be careful what you say considering he's playing eddies song's better then eddie please don't piss off eddie van halen we like him much better when he's happy.

[Dfynist]

@pepp5150

don't get me wrong, kent plays really well, but he's actually making it look more difficult than it really is....

check this out>>> HE makes it look easy; his hands barely move and just float across the frets.... not sure what his name is....?

[Dfynist]

ok the link didn't work.... just type in the bar JON STEWART AMSTERDAM

[slump75]

I have seen this video a hundred times, easy. Every time I watch it I get chills. Its truly epic.

[MojoMagnum]

Been there, listened to this song the whole time!

Awesome job!

[knjjhjghhg]

wank away kid, wank away

[jride042976]

This is no fake at all. This is Kent's original. Frostmourne (must be a WOW player) has a few of the differences, but really if you play the guitar you can see this is not a fake.

[FrostmourneFK]

@jride042976 I play guitar. I actually don't play WoW, though. Warcraft, Warcraft 2, and Warcraft 3.

[nathanaelnainggolan]

awesome.....great player..beautiful chorus

[dragon21247]

great feel really continuity and real rubbery smooth figure,!! excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ManyM3n]

where is the pick of destiny 

[leppard001]

awesome cover man what kind of guitar r u playing?

[steinderbush]

Kent, is awesome , nobody give me some stupid arguments, !! if you do., you do not know anything about guitarplaying!!

[on3toughmidg3t]

Your sound and playing is dead on... just awesome...could i trouble to ask about your set up, guitar, amp settings, pedals etc? Im yet to find anyone who can mimic eddie like you. I would really love some info....and just for kicks, how long have you been playin?

[lynched247]

@on3toughmidg3t He usually uses an Erine ball axis guitar ,vox tonelab se , boss ps5 and line in sound card ran thru his computer ..at least im pretty sure that is it :) ..the vox tonelab se is amazing , can get some great sounds from it i highly recommend picking one up !!

[ryan00010]

Simply badass. Anyone who thinks Kent is faking it is a fool. He might not be tuned exactly the same as how these songs have been transcribed and therefore he's shifted a fret or two off the fretboard to compensate, but he's really playing it. Besides, if he was really faking it, how can you explain the ad lib work at the end? That sure as hell isn't Eddie playing. Eddie doesn't do much in the way of sweep arpeggios.

[FrostmourneFK]

@ryan00010 Wait... Someone thinks this is fake? Well, they're either tone deaf, or retarded. Though it's close to the original, there are a few key differences, such as different palm muting patterns, and the solo at the end isn't even in the song... I don't know how anybody could think it was fake...

[bkeener86]

@FrostmourneFK i agree anyone who think's this is a fake let's be the first to tell them they are fucking retarded...xD!!!

[spencer8857]

@FrostmourneFK not to mention the pinch harmonics. This guy is amazing.

[t3hPoundcake]

@FrostmourneFK Not to mention the tone isn't 100% on as well, what an idiot lol. Let him have his fun, lets enjoy Kent and his amazing playing.

[THEonlyZACKGORT]

@t3hPoundcake

Not even Eddie Van Halen can match his studio tone exactly. Too many factors play into how the guitar sounds on any given day.

Just sayin' ... Great job Kent!

[toinze26]

Eddie stop bullshit, stop upload your videos.......

[slump75]

Its strange to me that some would say this is fake. Any honest person with even a reasonable understanding of electric guitar would know this is real. Youtube is awesome so long as you don't scroll down.

[umfums]

daaaaaaaaaaammmm goooooood

[Chaseracing]

well done.

[jdurnya]

eddiehalenvan.. how bout uploadin u playin one of EVH's songs....

this dude rips... no sense bein all jeleous and shit...

[eddiehalenvan]

you realise this vid is a fake?? i know how to play this song and this is not right. try to play after the vid and you se its wrong

[GuitarMarc89]

@eddiehalenvan it's not fake, he's playing all notes correclty.. some people play things different than others ;)

besides that, kent celarvi plays awesome.. i don't think, he'd have to fake a video.. his covers are often better than the original XD

[eddiehalenvan]

@GuitarMarc89 well he is good but noone can be better than eddie. Btw my guitar teacher plays better than Kent. so...........

[MeYouView]

my cousin awhile back ago introduced me to your videos and i was thinking watching your Van Halen stuff "shit this guy knows his eddie". great job!!!

[VanHalenfreak9]

aweomse! kent is awesome! wat effects is he using? hes always got something to his sound, but i cant put my finger on what it is....

[Chaseracing]

nailed it. Keep it up!

[Saraxceno]

Wow.. Awesome You Are An Amazing Guitar Player - Keep It Up - God Bless

[Darrenjb1]

What the hells that comment meant to mean Visicante??

[Darrenjb1]

I've watched this and all Kent's other videos I don't know how many times, and my jaw still hits the floor. This guy knows Eddies riffs better than Eddie himself!!!

Nice one, keep it up - you're an inspiration to all us budding Eddies!!!!

[Visicante]

Donkey dismissing the musician in question is unable to play until a matchbox

[iaimstraight]

Amazing, fantastic, cool, awesome, great, beautiful, marvelous cover by The Talented Kent Carlevi... God bless u man...

[BDNWTKFG]

YOU are TRULY amazing to watch!

T H A N K Y O U for taking the time to post these for us wannabe spodes! SINCERELY!!

Big Dave

[johm73]

Thanks for the re-post on this! I've missed seeing this video.  Heck, I used to stop by this almost daily until they removed it.

[tribalstudy]

I saw this live in 1995, at the Ford Center in OKC. It was a good show, I talk to twenty somethings who have never heard of VH. I just smile, shake my head, and know my generation is lucky to have been exposed to this.

[spencer8857]

@tribalstudy hey, I'm 23 and love van halen. Saw them live at the united center in chicago in the 3rd row!!!!! Same goes for my cousin.

[nathanaelnainggolan]

eddie should hear this...awesome

[4x12]

IDK why the orignal posters channel got canned but THANK YOU for reposting this incredible clip!! This is a serious player!

[MrBenCleaver]

Absolutely amazing..........

[lowpups]

kent rules

[felipebatistuta]

fucking awesome, man!

[PowerInMN]

The harmonics are spot on.  Damn

[eugejnr1]

man you make me proud.............realising all that i will try to be....well done friend!!!

[TheAJPreston]

For all Kent's fans, the culprit is Stage Three Music, and the gal who runs the removal for reasons of copyright bullshit can be contacted at... Connie.Ashton (at)stagethreemusic dotcom. Why would you buy anything they produce, as if ZZ Top haven't got enough pesos already! I know I've given them plenty.

[jackedhorse]

@TheAJPreston  Tell her to shut her Cock Wallet!

[Tallerico500]

@jackedhorse cock wallet LOL

[PowerInMN]

@jackedhorse LMAO

[calcaterra002]
