[Adnoydall]

@Lushsucr Respond to This Video - I'm opining that Eds wanking around in the video above, asking fans to respect youtubes invitation to comment as we please. All you offer are dim rote vulgar asinine Jared Loughneresque threats in Eds name.

Parallels between you and Loughner are striking - I wrote something you didn't like 4 years ago and you took to screeching I'd never get the last word in, over and over: "ED IS GOD !!!!ED IS GOD!! fag commit suicide!!! die nigger LOLOL ".

Gods beware!!

[Adnoydall]

@Lushsucr again today you do nothing but project, repeating the same asinine off topic garbage that forces Eds to consider you a Jared Loughner in the making.

youtube says I may respond to this video, eh. Eds wanking off like a teen boy showing off his ricer car in a Walmart parking lot. Nothing special to be heard, unless random cacophonous wank is music to you

[bongnbud]

[alexisthebest94]

[dustin7bowman7]

[gibsongold1970]

[KeithHarbaugh]

wow...

lemme go check out van halen for an hour.

thnx

[shetbag11]

do work son

[OzzyOzrock]

Randy Rhoads is better than everyone.

[ClintonomoreSH]

eddie is and will always be the best

[sethkowns]

i couldn't have said it any better.

[NachoNinja3]

Not to sound harsh, but "was" better.

[butteredtoast556677]

LOL NO

[ultrahippe854]

[guitarvirtuoso14762]

[ultrahippe854]

nah; i know the concert took place in veniswela (and yes, i know i spelled that wrong); but thanks

[dirtydeeds73]

venezuela....

[bucketheads1disciple]

look i myself prefer van halen but no disrespect to jimmi honestly he IS over rated cos his best songs were yet to come if he didnt die( r.i.p.) he would have became as great as some say

but in a in a matter of skill eddie wins hands down in a matter of music or songwriting its all just a matter of taste

and my taste is a bit more van halen-ish

both guitar gods .. and as a dude said before any one named gothkorn is a sad looser ....if goths hate life so much just kill urself and be done.

[disturbed157]

he really isn't overrated. if he could go on stage with clapton and amaze him to the point of just walking off...then i dont think he is overrated.

[Trooperx0]

Hendrix was good but he really wasn't as good as everyone interprets....

He was just wack, no one really played blues / jazz like him. But he did help make gods like Eddie :D

[chriskunkle008]

dont be dissin on jimi i just learned little wing and ita a great song but evh is better in my eyes but no one can ever play like jimi did

[D4N13Lf00]

1. Dont ever say Hendrix wasnt good!

go fuck yourself

2. Buckethead??? now i know your type... anyway wow a bunch of sweeps amazing(sigh) sure he can shred but can he make it sound nice or pleasing to the ear? hardly.

[imstoned8]

hendrix was amazing

bucket heads good

but he doesnt play with any emotion

[rockfreak611]

WTF? Have you listened to Nottingham Lace? That's a perfect example of Buckethead playing with emotion. Unless you mean he himself doesn't show emotion - that's just cause he's buckethead

[imstoned8]

i ment he doesnt show it

[rockfreak611]

Yeah, well i guess that's part of his "alter ago".

[Dennon21]

yeah seriously, jimi was not that good...well he was good but he wasnt amazing..steve vai, jimmy page, buckethead, van halen, they are all much much much better.

[redslownight]

dude jimi had fucking soul. Fuck you.

[imakemorethanhim]

that boy's crazy

[humbucker01]

the king of tapping;nobody can do it as smooth,clean,and with a very good tone as he can!!!

[Triplab08]

what amp does he use in this

im getting randall

[andrewstolcers]

peavey, he has his on line of amps

5150 1 old - 3 new old one has best sound

6105

6505+

all peavey amazing metal sound all around i really recomend it

[iZAGGER]

@andrewstolcers the frankenstrat has the Kramer neck which i believe was the early 80's so he most likely would have been using a marshall, i think peavey was after DLR left. but dont quote me haha

[brianmayguitarist]

@andrewstolcers well he used the 5150 for some of the F.U.C.K tour but he didn't use them that much.....he used a marshall 100watt superlead plexi and thats what we are hear right now

[rockfreak611]

Eddie used a Marshall 1959SLP with all settings to the max in the Roth era.

[troyzuse]

this gives me tingles!!

GREAT song!!

Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Van Halen

LEDGENDS!!

[spartan83]

YEAH suck on that Jimme Hendrix

[AMPENERGY50]

hmmmm nope not as good as JIMI hendrix not jimme. listen to more of hendrix's live stuff before saying eddie is better

[blasty5150]

r u FREAKIN sERIOUS? I GUESS HES NOT BAD CONSIDERING HES TRIPPIN HIS BALLS OFF ON ACID, EDDIE BLOWS HIM AWAY.

[Kobainkrazyforeverz]

i concur

jimi was good

eddie would make jimi shit his pants though if he had ever played for him lol

[goldenchopsticks]

You do realize how overrated Jimi was in terms of skill right? He was an innovator, yes, but really, most guitarists that dont suck today are either equal to him or better.

[xXxwhitepanther831]

totally like all of the alternative and pop guitarists right?

[goldenchopsticks]

I was talking more of the average metal/rock guitarist.

[xXxwhitepanther831]

that is true but their aint many anymore:(

[Obiwan118118]

xXxwhitepanther831, theres LOADS of metal/rock guitarists, how can you say there isn't many anymore? Theres MILLIONS!!!

[tourdeforce17]

yes, and all of their solos (from different bands and guitarists as well) sound exactly the same. the guitar solo may be alive in that sense, but not much if it's all the same.

[Obiwan118118]

Dude wtf are you on? Go listen to the solo from Conquer All - Behemoth and tell me that its all the same.

[tourdeforce17]

ok, that solos a bit different but still is nothing special.

[GothKorn]

"You do realize how overrated Jimi was in terms of skill right?"

have you listened to enough Jimi Hendrix to actually back that up? i think not

"most guitarists that dont suck today are either equal to him or better, average metal/rock guitarist"

who? i don't see anybody matching Jimi that are in anyway close to Jimi's level, the only few are Steve Vai, Satch, Marty Friedman & Chris Poland but even they aren't able to rival him, Jimi Hendrix along with EVH are a LOT better than people think

[goldenchopsticks]

Lol ive seen vids of him live many times, nothing even remotely impressive.

LOL You seriously think that Jimi is BETTER than all those guitarists??? Jimi was overrated as fuck, he was sloppy, and lived off of the pentatonic scale. All of those guitarists are so much more accuare, faster, original, and more diverse than him.

[GothKorn]

"he was sloppy, and lived off of the pentatonic scale" LOL you might wanna listen to yourself playing before you say who's sloppy boy, "All of those guitarists are so much more accuare, faster, original, and more diverse than him."? hardly Vai imitated Zappa & Satch, Satch even ripped off other ppls music too, Marty a bit diverse but not very, Chris Poland however very diverse especially with Ohm but not 100% original either, Jimi's overrated? lol sorry but you can't decide on that greenhorn

[goldenchopsticks]

Haha im not even going to continue an argument with someone with Korn in their name.

[neilcaraher]

jimi was both pure skillful and wrote AMAZING riffs...

To this day, i still cant top the riffs to either little wing or purple haze... They are both so amazing to listen to... And then when he went on a solo, BOY did he go on a solo! lol

Jimi and Eddie are both great

[GothKorn]

amen bro amen

[guitarvirtuoso14762]

yeah i think the best in the world goes to guthrie govan though he can play anything even jimi stuff as well as fusion shred slow jazz country fingerpicking flamenco he can do it all but yeah eddie is the true innovator of heavy metal guitar gotta love the frankenstrat

[davelad5]

OMFG this is so awesome! I love the way he just owns the stage.

[AppleMassacre]

i agree with what you said about eddie being infinity times better than chad at guitar, but nickelback have played some huge gigs. nothing as big as van halen thgouh.

[c320coupe]

I sense a tiny bit of Jimmy Page influence here...lol

[Zerzios]

couldent agree more

[mazaadidi]

burnt4 are you kidding me?!?!?

you seriously think Chad Kroeger is better than Eddie Van Halen? NickelBack is shit compared to this.

YOU need to wake up that one track mind of yours.

I mean come on...........seriously.

[bruce6john6metal6]

dude Eddie is my god of rock. Dimebag was my god at first untel he died but now its Eddie.

[rockinrj13]

Lol well Eddie only has a few years left on 'im.

I'd start looking for a new one.

(Seriously though I'm a HUGE Van Halen fan, don't get me wrong!)

[blasty5150]

You'll be lookin till you got NO years left, believe that shit..

[burnt4]

He sucks balls at guitar. He's got nothing on Chad Kroger of NickleBack, the greatest rock band in the history of the world. Wake up you faggots

[ma1ice2you]

I guess you're a nickelback fan. If you're such a fan of Nickelback, why don't you spell it right. I hate them and I know how to spell it. There is no way that Nickelback is the greatest rock band in the history of the world, and there is DEFINITELY no way that their guitarist is better than Eddie Van Halen.

YOU'RE the one who's gotta wake up, faggot.

[bruce6john6metal6]

hey you pickle pirate sack of shit don't make fun of eddie van halen. he is a god of rock

and that chad kroger guy sucks probably and nickleback is the gayest band ever. This was back in the 70's so yeah it might not be the greatest but it still kicks ass

[TwilightZoneBand]

You know that he's just sayin' this to get the attention...just don't even bother.

[rockfreak611]

hahahaha he said nickleblack! What a faggot! Let's see same 3 chord progression on every single song + shitty "solos" = Nickleback guitarist. He's shit compared to EVH.

[stephen0793]

If Jesus played guitar his name would be Edward Van Halen!

[couchmaster300]

I saw em in February when they came to Orlando is was kick ass

[Sawman160]

if u listen to some like classical music theres a huge resemblance

[LittleWyvern25]

def, especially in little guitars (3:46-4:44), right before the part where he goes completely fuckin nuts on stage. lol gotta love this guy!

[49Shortvid]

fried his ears!!!!!!!

[humbucker01]

He's the BEST speed picker of all time,very neat and clean!!!

[ma1ice2you]

i can... kind of recognise it xD

[jackbutt4life]

the replica i saw of his guitar was 25,000

[scullyfetch]

it's not music, totally noise + sound pollution!

[sexyton1988]

no sound polution would be rap music

[tgm5150]

OG rap is cool though

[convictTKM]

OG Loc? lol

[watts18269]

By the way, does anyone know the name of the technique at 5:47? I can sorta do it but i was just wondering if it has a name. Cheers.

[ApansOst]

Some sort of finger tapping i think.

[andrewstolcers]

hes basically creating harmonics with his picking hand and with his playing hand he is hammering on the strings to fire off the harmonics

its hard to do you have to have the pickups set to way rear and just the perfect touch

[rockfreak611]

Same here. I have no idea of what you would call that at 5:47. Sounds badass and I think Eddie was either the first person to do that or one of the first people.

[mrkrecc06]

am i the only one who thinks hes sloppy?

[watts18269]

He is...but who cares? If you sterilise it too much you become steve vai - boring.

[fd3slover]

i saw this guitar on display in san jose! its all destroyed! its freakin awesome.

[escaban1]

it is a really easy guitar paint job to make, just take the pick ups and stuff out paint one coat and let it dry then you put tape on and paint over then pull the tape of

P.s. if you dont know much use multiple colored paints

[andrewstolcers]

haha im workin on the one riff he does from mean street its gnarley hoping to learn the whole solo some day its hard to play it by ear

[matzeppelin987]

orgasmic

[BungieDay777]

I saw them sunday in Indianapolis. They fucking rocked the house. Now I can't stop listening to Van Halen. Long Live VH.

[railcar123]

The father of modern rock guitar!

[SakuYukihimesan]

Saw em last night. Absolutely spectacular.

[HITMAN31473]

HOLY SHIT!!! i cant fucking ait im going to the sho in philly 10/3

[graywolf9923]

jacked eddie = amazing guitarist eddie= me jk

[guitar1167]

one of the best live eruption that he ever played. especially the speed picked spanish fly part in the beginning. how does he do it so clean and fast.

[creed1057]

Wow, he is so cool. You wanna learn how to finger tap? Watch Eddie

[eruptionfreak]

its the US festival of 83

[master09shredder]

This is from the largo show in 81' I believe, I have the bootleg but I can't exactly remember the date.

[master09shredder]

My bad, its not largo...maybe the US festival in 83?

[Zeppelinizzer]

Greatest guitarist in the history of the universe.
