[Hunkola]

Valerie really trashed Eddie in her book ---- what a selfish bitch

[EddieVHRocks5150]

[earlymtv]

this was 93. before grunge buried eddie and the boys. so van halen was still popular. but not for long. sad day when grunge took over.

[evh7775150]

[eliteaxes]

I am looking for a copy of the late show David Letterman. 1993 episode 56 with Valerie Bertinelli (Cafe American) and Eddie. If anyone has this please contact me. I will pay generously for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gitaarpingelaar]

He says:

"Praat je tegen mij?"

Which is Dutch for "Are you talking to me?"

[wazamer]

great actor

[Guitarman5150]

OK he stopped playing, WTF did she throw him out for? LOL!!

[Geert365]

@Guitarman5150 Not my business.

[jima5150]

the ice cream man

[jimmypage1stfan]

rach-stica-man? wtf does he say in response?!

[ssudioTVgirl]

Eddie and Valerie made the cutest couple. I was so sure they were going to make it. I was crushed when they divorced.

[jediess]

he says "praat je tegen mij?" thats dutch for "are you talking to me?"

[BaldViking]

That's interesting! I had that show videotaped and listened over and over to try to figure out what he said and was never successful. Of course, I wasn't thinking in Dutch! Thanks!

[VandeGroep]

Are you talkin' to me?!

[mmatt42]

pleasure dome!!

[helljumpr5150]

was that pleasure dome he was playing?

[guitargamery]

he´s just the best and she´s is her wife...the think of eddie van halen is not just the point that he is a awesome guitar player...he have so much carisma...my God he is the chosen one lol, he is the best

[renassaince]

I agree; one of the greatest little moments from one of the cutest couples in rock history. I respect their differences, but back in the day..they were it...

[evh5150316]

At 0:15 he starts playing what would become the opening to Pleasure Dome off of FUCK.

VH fans will know that one.

[BaldViking]

Pleasure Dome came out in '91, this was in '93. Pleasure Dome had already come out. :)~

[vanswalen0u812]

[batterypoweredferret]

[ClassixFromThe80s]

One of the cutest couples in the world. I wish they were still married.

[mlove365]

[EVHSlightReturn]

[joohhansson96]

[sluyt]

Eh yeah he says that but in Dutch language!

He says " Praat je tegen mij?"

[edhead5150]

The tale end is pleasure dome

[AngusVanHendrixCo]

Ah. Thanks!

[ldzp68]

does any one understand wat he said

nd by the way eddie still does rule

[jef280764]

that was dutch what he spoke,he said:"praat je tegen mij?" which is dutch for "are you talkin' to me ? as Eddy was born in the Netherlands and he and his brother Alex and their parents emigrated to the USA when they were kids..

[RedMustang19]

eddie ruled back 'n' the day. :)

[AngusVanHendrixCo]

Was Ed playing "Could This Be Magic?"

[hariseldon59]

Nine years later she did the same thing to him in real life.

[ericmdk]

LOL!!

[Hunkola]

I love how much applause Eddie got when he turned around....he is loved around the world.

[guitarman069]

how dare she do that to eddie

[Jakafe]

I've been looking forever for this clip... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I looooveeee Cafe Americain and Van Halen at the same time.. this episode is like multiple orgasms to me..

[ericmdk]

you scare me, but i am a vh fan.

[roniki96]

He said:

"Praat je tegen mij?"

Which is indeed "Are you talking to me?"

[spawnofwheezedog]

whats eddie's line?

[mckellwade]

I think it's Dutch for "are you talking to me?"

[MrTitocaneca]

@mckellwade Pleasure Dome Intro!!!

[DragonThank]

@mckellwade Its Dutch for "are you talking to me?"

[Gerardus1970]

"Praat je tegen mij?"

Which is Dutch for "Are you talking to me?"

As he's lead out by his ear he says "godverdomme!" which means "goddamn!"

[BrianHamiltonTV]

and spoken with the slight Nijmegen twang one doesn't hear in many other parts of Netherlands.

[wjv4me]

I thought he'd said, "Can I stick around?"

[TheMIMI1925]

@spawnofwheezedog Yes, and he says: Hé, auw, godverdomme, blijf met je poten van me af! Which means: Hey, goddammit, keep your hands off me! When Eddie or Alex are scolding, than many times they're talking Dutch (with a Dutch-Indonesian accent).

[JamesLimborg]

hahahha... That was great. I never saw that before. Wish Ed did some more acting. He's so affraid of public appearances... but he's good.

[johnnybeane]

I have an ET segment on this episode on vhs.
