Eddie Van Halen Shreds

[Mixolydian716]

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. It gets funnier every time I see it.

[twitchdoomx]

the timing is off lol

[marc80s]

This is pretty awesome but Eds been better...

[6of7productions]

i totally fell for it...for just a bit

Genius!

[JakeReeger]

It never ceases to amaze me how some people don't get this joke.

[arpeggioxmajor]

is it edited ? or jokes ? really.. van Halen would never play shit like this..

[hk19950329]

please forgive my ignorance.........but what he was doing?==

[Pedgerow]

George Costanza from Seinfeld is really killing it on that keyboard.

[flowerdrop1]

eddie was on that night

[FearTheFourHorsemen]

Check out the video we just posted of our guitarist showin off a little bit!!!!!!!! Van Halen will always be one of the tops in my book.

[one50watts8ohm]

Eddie has definitely reinvented the way I look at guitar playing, my mind is officially all over the wall behind me.. Wowzerrrs.

[HandofGod440]

This video is supposed to be this way people, lol.  It's also funny as hell. People are like, "this is not really Van Halen playing," well duh!!!

[backroadjunkie]

This is amazing...Eddie rocks..

[adamtheboyfromdenmar]

God Bless EDDIE VAN HALEN!!!

R.I.P LES PAUL.

[MrTergazzi]

Priceless!!!



[DrummerGirl1960]

It is so obvious that the the guitar playing that you hear when listening to this video IS NOT EDDIE VAN HALEN !!! This is some sort of joke, and not a funny one either. Take lessons...please.

[christiandugdale]

@DrummerGirl1960 ffs

[wejax12]

@DrummerGirl1960 You have no sense of humor.

[godsholy]

This is some dude playing that is not Edward, there outta be a law, who ever is playing needs some lessons or maybe do something else, let me put it this way, don't quit your day job...

[Alexmuc26]

Nah dudes, this is actually the real performance. I was there! For real! It is legit!

[JasonElGato]

Is that George Costanza on key-tar??

[threegreensevens1]

Look up EVH les paul tribute and you will see the real version and notice that this is just some crap guitar recorded over a chopped up video of that concert

[CKSeeps7]

I think hes super drunk cause he sounds like me playing guitar.

[shredmaster100]

briliantly done 

[PDXBuys]

A smattering of applause throughout...

[JapJackson]

:54  JESUS TAKE ME NOW!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!

[Parrish3221]

haha this is fucking hilarious.



[daison76]

This is not Eddie.what the hell is going on.a retard is playing some bullshit

[JasonElGato]

brought a tear to my eye....  lol

[rfa2068]

@JasonElGato yeah especially when he started playing Iron Man.

[Ramair53]

Freakin awesome. I wish i had thought of this...

[fasullodan]

This is hilarious!



[coachgoon89]

1:59 for 5 secs lmfao two thumbs up to that, impressive licks. lol

[Tumatan44]

And thats why eddie is #1 lol

[JonathanMichaelSpain]

Thumbs up to (55 seconds) !

[JonathanMichaelSpain]

HAHAHAHAHA

[tritschtratschpolka]

Shit!! Who is this amature guiter ? Too shit to hear. Give up to play guiter. you have no talent. this is not Eddie.

[tiefighter94]

@tritschtratschpolka You're a fucking idiot.

[musikofEKSTRA]

I didn't know Voldemort played bass...

[Sonnyboy56]

Taking the piss out of EVH.

[tommyrock69]

This is like 7 years old and it's still as funny as the first time I saw it.

[DonnerParty1000]

Sounds like every guitar center iv'e ever been to

[Coldretter]

@DonnerParty1000 haha yeah it does. this is an intelligent observation

[IamAGuitarrist]

THIS IS THE REAL VIDEO /watch?v=atSdjLb0T14 IT WAS A LES PAUL TRIBUTE CONCERT

THUMBS UP SO EVERYONE CAN SEE IT!

[mph122170]

To play that badly, the guitarist must be pretty good.

[DJPLER]

Too funny

[TibetCorporation]

watch?v=4Y_7IrVI01I

[heretic71186]

dood my face hurts from laughing

[NitcheWTHRVideos]

Alright im sorry 4 that..

[billdean123]

Striking a chord every time he high fived someone at the end was just the icing on the cake!! I've seen several of these and they are all hysterical.....what's even funnier than the videos is the reactions and comments of the viewers....from the the ones that get it and laugh their asses off, to the one's that DON"T get it and think they're real. The one's that have NO sense of humor and get all bent out of shape about it......REALLY??? WHY???

[itismej]

Thats just damn funny. Always been a big VH fan. A little humor never killed anyone. Weird Al comes to mind.

[mlbdrumsyahoo]

Ya right!

[AirMorgan88]

I just about crapped my pants from 1:00 to 1:20 because I was laughing so hard!

[NitcheWTHRVideos]

U GUYS ARE F**KING JERKS!!! THAT'S NOT EVEN WHAT HE PLAYED!!!! DO NOT MESS WITH THE GOD OF ROCK AND ROLL!!! WTF ARE U THINKING!!!!!!!!!!WHAT A LOAD OF BULLSH*T!!!!! JERKS!!!!! U GUYS SHOULD GO TO HELL FOR SCREWING UP THIS VIDEO OF A MASTER OF GUITAR!!!!

[VanHalenMan5]

@NitcheWTHRVideos Woa. Its a harmless joke. Everyone knows its not real. I lllovvvveee Eddie Van Halen arguably more than anyone, but this is funny. I don't think it was intended to "mess with the god of rock and roll"... Or maybe you're trolling idk

[VanHalenMan5]

I cried laughing at 4:54 when he jumps and the chord just sounds like crap

[Jiggamannix]

Hilarious

[666uberstud666]

Jan Hammer's head-bobbing complemented the video well. The finger tapping at 3:52 is so good I want to put a gun to my head.

[Tokay18]

I am iron man!!!

[SquirefilmZz]

I KNOW MOST PEOPLE WATCHING THIS ARNT RETARTED BUT THIS IS FAKE YOU SPASTICS

[shyamguitar]

Eddie is God!!

[greensp4rk]

whoever did this probably isnt bad at guitar.. they play badly with so much precision

[Macknsteez]

2:46 . shit is off the chain !!!

[RattleheadMan]

i see comments.. its look like noone understand that its fake

[VinnieLepore]

I find it hilarious when he makes the random noises when EVH is double-tapping. Plus the random clapping fro the audience. lol

[TheCountryAddict]

Amateur hour by the God of Guitar



[Docterhalo12]

Where can i find the real video?

[ajota77]

this is SO retarded that it is good, couldnt hold my tears here of laughing

[R4nd0mBR05]

The guy with the piano guitar thing looks stupid especially since you can't hear his instrument at all

[jrock2264]

Sorry to ruin the gag but anybody that thinks this is real is either retarded or still in high schooll.....or both.

[angryretardcereal]

sounds like a primus song xD

[Tokay18]

@angryretardcereal lol

[hampsterman22]

I love the random applause. It's probably the best part of the video.

[w1wang]

@ZBonZ this is fake and btw Eddie studied piano for longer than you could imagine and he knows a lot of music theory. Still theory knowledge doesn't define your skill at an instrument. Most musicians play music nowadays that just sounds good to them but theory players like Billy Joel will also do that but when Joel or Eddie get lost (perhaps for including modulation and trying to get back to the song) they will follow their theory knowledge to get back. Still with that, Eddie does know a lot

[missfreakypants]

Eddie sucks, so many great guitarist out there than Eddie Van Halen

[Neuguy69]

I love these shred videos

[ninesilverguns]

I can't believe this has more views than the real thing. This is EVH performing at the Les Paul Tribute c'mon guys go watch it if you want to give justice to him. By the way, the real video only has 73,556 views.

[ThatWasMyPoptart]

This is eddie van halen's cover of guitar center...

[jrock2264]

@ThatWasMyPoptart hahahahahha

[ZVonBZ]

And this is why eddie sucks! He knows zero guitar/music theory. He just plays random notes not an any particular key.

[VinnieLepore]

@ZVonBZ This is fake.

[captainfunksauce]

@VinnieLepore NO SHIT! LOL

[md0206]

@ZVonBZ Refrase, 'You' think he sucks, which is a matter of the universe to decide really but based on his famous 5150 studio and gazillion dollar estate near Bell Air, LA and having sold over 80 million albums worldwide, as well as recording with Michael Jackson, the greatest pop star ever, I think Eddie van Halen does deserve some respect. He is a legend basically. You wouldn't fill his shoes not in 100 years nor me. I really could care less replyin which is so obvious but you seemed dull..

[EjectedStomach]

@ZVonBZ Are you a moron? Rhetorical question.

[VinnieLepore]

FAKE!!!! Someone put some shitty guitar playing over EVH's real deal!!

[ELNINO10]

@VinnieLepore C'mon genius, don't ruin the gag.

[mouthyweasel]

God I love these.

[SchecterGuitar689]

Eddie Van Halen is too overrated!

[bgoodwinster]

eddie might want to stop finger tapping, turn off the distortion, and work on his technique

[nebnubs]

They should go on tour and play only this song over and over again for about 4 or 5 hours.

[steffenhaas]

WATCH THE FIRST EVER GERMAN SHREDS!!!!!

/watch?v=1lUPNzFG4cY

[DisappearingBoy2010]

Is that George Castanza on keyboard?

[eddie123212]

this is a joke..E. van halen is a master..flawless

[12thstreetgypsysbass]

The first time I have not heard the brown sound tone.....wtf, this sucks!

[MrZovar]

XD Eddie should tab this out and play it live. I, for one, would be rolling on the floor laughing.

[yuvalrplaysguitar]

i actually laughed really hard @ 2:00

[captainfunksauce]

this is fuckin' great! i love it!

[f1freak1964]

Umprovisational nightmare.

[ajpoltz]

How can he tour like this? His brain is burnt.

[TheSicknessIsTheCure]

@ajpoltz You realize this isnt really how he plays right? Its a fake video for comedy

[xpebbleboyx]

lord vouldemort on bass

[FretBattles]

Eddie is famous for dissing Jimi Hendrix, saying all he did was used a bunch of effect pedals and "anyone" can play like him. See if Eddie is right! /watch?v=Gf85d0fxiNw

[henryalburo]

NYAHAHA 0:55-1:20- I almost died

[Chrisdrumz]

The applause makes this thing even funnier.

[ROflurmom1]

IRON MAN YEAH

[bennyfromthe72]

Georges Costanza playing the synth-guitar.

[taradead]

lol - u got me again...I was totally buying it until I remembered a similar fake a while back. The audience clapping over dub is perfect.

[BoomstickReviews]

That sounds almost as bad as my dad... almost.

[mrsupercrazy100]

LMFAO at 1:10. That iron man transition is really funny, especially when he screws up shortly afterwards.

[Toneytc]

WTH !

[Luckums135]

funny as hell! especially the cathedral part at 0:56!

[iD4v1d]

Lmao iron man xD

[akpalus7]

sounds like ... like....i dont know what... probably my 3 year old cousin tryin to play guitar....the worst is the people clappin.

[nicodeath]

hahahhahahahhaahhahahhahahhaha­hhahahahah

[zawaha42]

@InvaderZim2012 Thats Rock 'N' Roll? What happened to true rock 'N' roll? You know Led Zeppelin Jimi Hendrix Eric Clapton? Hell your posting this on a Van Halen video, include them. That stuff you listed doesn't compare to Rock 'N' Roll. See the light, try listening to it.

[drdavetasu]

@zawaha42 you"re gay

[SalzerX]

@InvaderZim2012 where's led zeppelin, black sabbath, lynyrd skynyrd in that list?

[Sirjeth]

@InvaderZim2012

Good job you listen to a bunch of music that's probably worse than your first column. Pop rock is just so much better! Linkin Park, crawling in your skin! Slipknot, nu metal rox!

You my friend are a DOUCHE

[PutItAway101]

@InvaderZim2012 Sounds more like a list that faggots jack to.

[TheNatedogg56]

@InvaderZim2012 Literally EVERY band you mentioned SUCKS. And the worst part is, there are actually good rock bands today, ever heard of Thrice, Mastodon, Silversun Pickups, Mogwai, or Deftones? Hell, ever Pearl Jam is putting out better records than any of those bands, and they're ancient. Don't be a follower who spams videos with a comment repping your washed up nu metal bands, literally NO ONE wants to see it.

[LesPaulElitist]

03:51 - it's the right handed tapping technique that made him famous!

[TheHowardmuse]

This is hilarious!!!! One q tho: When did Eddie appear in concert with Jan Hammer and ummmm...looks like...uh...Tony Levin?

[BozoTheBear]

steve vai has 333 alternative accounts.

[MrPomeroyWatson]

Unfortunately, that's not far off from how Eddie sounds when he's on the booze.

[sniffytykoshadow]

I LOVE showing this to my friends that know nothing about guitar but have heard of how good EVH is and seeing there reactions after I tell them this is a famous solo! Hahahahaha

[lonestar7703]

hilarious

[connacoustic]

someone do a dubstep remix now!

[tgm5150]

1:58 to 2:05 is great!

[Indoanonymous]

I'm not sure if people are joking, or are actually that dumb....I sincerely hope you realise that it's not real...

[brycepunk]

Why are people clapping? I don't get it.

[KillYourTeeVee]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is prolly EVH's greatest solo... I'm left speechless and thirsty... And my legs are wibbly wobbly

[tempestroeconnor]

/watch?v=atSdjLb0T14 this is the REAL video of what hes actually playing - its at the les paul tribute concert in 1988

[lolwtfreak]

The real video is "Cathedral" in 1988. Search it if you want.

[mainsberg]

kkkkkkkkkk very good. i like to much eddie but this video is great.

[epiex1997]

when iron man came on i laughed so hard

[Master0fMuppets93]

3:51 GO EDDIE

[ruleta74835]

The applause is awesome.

[thealexpaoful]

Guys, this is real!

Eddie was fuckin WASTED. When he's sober he rocks...when he's drunk he still rocks!

[MrWopwink]

I don't think this is a good example of his playing.

[MrWopwink]

Does anyone have the tab for this?

[SteveKlim]

People need to relax. It is Eddie, but the creator of the video edited in his own guitar work as a joke. It is supposed to be funny - and it is!

[Toots65]

This is blasphemy!

[BlackT0othGrin]

i really thought that was him at first

[sniffytykoshadow]

It's a joke guys to make Eddie sound bad

[Mottly666]

OMFG, my face hurts...

[storminthedistance]

good job.. hilarious

[quj0r]

The Internet is Serious Business.

[jordan8956]

this sucks balls, that is not eddie

[gpaai]

@jordan8956 - It's not? It looks like Eddie.

[traigogoodmusic]

i love jan hammer shredding on the keytar

[HendrixCool]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!



[TheRockape64]

That is not even Eddie.The video is from The Les Paul Tribute concert. This is LAME!!!!!!!!

[Lucicsux]

Who took out Eddie's godlike riff's and put Adnoydall's attempt in?

[DisappearingBoy2010]

Is that George Castanza on keyboard???  LOL

[luigithunders]

@TUSPINCHESHUEVOS se escribe:idiot, IGNORANTE IDIOTA.

[men007845]

this is false!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[luigithunders]

@TUSPINCHESHUEVOS speak english or die!mojarra.



[Razzics]

wtf tony levin?

[xx19yz]

Why is the camera focusing so much on Van Halen? The balding guy is the real hero here. The bagpipe and the keytar are the two greatest instruments humanity has known. The way he puts his heart and soul into it brings a tear to my eye.

[seahorsecowboys]

1 of the GREATEST guitarist on the planet just jumped the shark !....thanks crack !....and have you hear diamond davids latest shit storm ....damn !

[Jedibob5]

@seahorsecowboys Uhm, I'm not even sure what you're trying to say... Do you realize that this is fake?

[brucewbowser]

Loved every second of this ! !

[rfd135]

funny shit....my kid said this van halen guy sucks!.............i totally get it

[dkitty8124]

charlie sheen meets ed van haken...wow...never thought edward would perform so..

[canefrogfury]

i have heard that they tried to ban this video because the band was not happy with the audience reaction, jan hammer was upset

[canefrogfury]

i have heard that they tried to ban this video because the band was not happy with the audience reaction

[wdpk12]

haha
