Van Halen - Somebody Get Me A Doctor

[emsywhite]

amazing.

[atomicpunk48]

And they're not done yet

[atomicpunk48]

These guys were the real deal!

[paisleyization]

These guys would have made a great three piece, like Rush; guitar, bass, drums. Just see the way Ed and Alex play off each other, they don't need anyone else.....Go and listen to Jack Bruce sing I'm so Glad and hear a real passionate singer.

[hershysquirts187]

van halen brothers ladies and gentleman

[bigtimmy1100]

god bless the USfuckinA, take a close look my peeps, they don't make em like this anymore. You won't see a real rocknroll show like this ever again. VH rules

[SunnyDaleSlayr]

Just bad ass!! Totally numb!!!

If someone asks what the 80s were like then show 'em this video.

[motleycrue24]

girls gone bad=epicness

[sonicmann101]

ALEX IS STEAMING!!!!!

[sonicmann101]

OMG HES PLAYING ALL MY FAVORIE SONGS!!!

[benbunner]

Could not imagine wearing that jumper set Eddies wearing, yikes!

[diaraam]

best guitarist of all time, influenced the most people ever, came up with so much stuff and techniques, simple fact.

[dpeab11370]

Little bit of Cream thrown in at 6:56. I'm soooo Glad. Nice nod to Clapton! EVH was a huge Clapton fan.

[magirecords2004]

"Girl Gone Bad" is sick!

[mikevod]

bring back the real van halen --all these freakin dudes should get back together

[ottotobey]

What DVD? Soo awesome!! *EVH*=GOD

[spawnoftheshred]

What a show these guys put on. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

[rodjohnson69]

lmao - DLR's so blitzed he misses 'Girl Gone Bad' completely and Eddie just treats the whole song as a solo. And laughs his way thru it - awesome!

[jas270]

@rodjohnson69

That's because this was before the 1984 album was released so Dave hadn't wrote any lyrics yet, but yeah he was so blitzed even if he did he wouldn't have remembered them....haha so they just jammed it as an instrumental

[rodjohnson69]

Love how DLR is blitzed but is smart enough to just let Eddie take over.

[Stifsim6]

If your VH isn't DLR, it isn't SHIT!

(oh so sorry, sammy.)

[theShowStopper321]

Dave just fucked off and pranced around hammered. And he's the man!!

[lzrb]

OH YEAH!

Van Halen live and raw!

The way we liked 'em......

The way we'll always remember 'em.....

Great song - excellent post!

Thanks Shpjvg!

[RandyVanHalen1]

Look at Diamond Dave and Eddie's outfits. THIS IS PURE VH AT ITS BEST. DLR IS REAL VAN HALEN.

[gjjemhunter]

muaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!! Yaaaaaaahhhhaaahahhhhhaaaa!!! My kind of party! So many decibals and boos and women your senses are about to explode..... VH is always the best party.

[davehutchinson67]

@gjjemhunter No doubt..100% agreed....I never saw more gorgeous women than at a VH show...the only other time was when my ex dragged me to see DLR when he went out on his own...Holy Shit..we broke up after that show..lol...

[TheGuitarPlayer80]

does anyone know how he does that thing at 0:32? I've been trying to figure it out for weeks

[AJRGuitarist]

@TheGuitarPlayer80 First start doing rapid hammer-ons with your left hand on the 2nd and fourth frets of the G string. Really dig in with your fingers. Then, take your right hand and lightly put your fingers down on the strings, palm facing the guitar, and run your hand down the fingerboard towards the headstock. You're just hitting harmonics with your right hand. You'll see what I mean when you try it.

Hope this helped :P.

[TheGuitarPlayer80]

@AJRGuitarist wow yeah it actually works! Thanks man! How did you figure that out?

[AJRGuitarist]

@TheGuitarPlayer80 Lots of fiddling around, and quite a bit of help from my teacher. :P

[XanaduNintendo156]

Eddie is a freakin guitar king to the MAX.

[JLee258]

Don't get me wrong Dave's the man, but what if Eddie fucked off on his guitar playing as much as Dave fucked off and forgot the lyrics. They would have been in trouble.

[Malfoy129]

@JLee258 That is an amazing point! lmfao!!

[blndrckr]

Yeah it is....

[40Rtruss]

This is just flatout a great post

VH at their best

[Fenderalllltheway]

I'm learning this solo and what gets me about this performance is the speed increase over the album, which wasn't exactly slow.

I know it's normal to step it up but man it makes it tough for the mortals.

Master of his art!

[nissansentraglx]

looked like they were having fun just jammin!

[BrantTownsend]

BRING BACK THE STRIPED OVERALLS!!

[rossboss1]

um...this is seriously one of the best live performances ever.

[stratdem]

van halen II 1979 SOLD 16 MILLON RECORDS TO DATE and van halen's 1978 album has sold 20+millon to date. thats 36 millon albums sold in the last 2 years of the 70's 1978 and 1979 led zeppelins first two albums never came close to the sales of van halen first two albums and still havent because van halen I 1978 AND van halen II 1979 are selling to date 3 to 4 millon albums a year not bad for two albums that are over 31 years old 1978 and over 30 years old 1979. the two greatest albums ever!

[stratdem]

van halens album sales is one hundred and sixteen millon albums sold. and when the

new one comes out add on

another 14 to 15 million. so your talking when the new album comes out and it is expected to sell 15 million world wide dave is back

there last tour 07 and 08 6 months long not close to a world tour and only toured the usa and parts of canda made 98 million on that short tour. this tour will be a

12 month tour they will gross 280 million dollars on this new tour coming up

[stratdem]

van halen album sales will be close to 140 million sold or even more like 143 to145 million albums sold because each of there 13 albums still sell like i said 3 to 4 million or more albums a year its more like the albums still sell 5 to 6 million a year all van halens albums are selling amount and there abums are over 31years old. over 30 years old. over 29 years old. over 28 years old. over 27 years old. over 25 years old. over 23 years old.over 17 years old. over 13 years old. 5 years old.

[PatVanHalen5150]

No clue where you're getting your info from, but it's way off.

VH1 was certified Diamond (10 million) in 1996 and is still sitting at Diamond status.

VH2 has been certified 5x platinum.

....and neither of those albums hold a candle to the greatest guitar album of all time, Fair Warning.

[JimiDoris]

You ain't kiddin' about Fair Warning!!! That album melted on my turntable back in the day!

[XanaduNintendo156]

Van Halen II is very underrated.....

[olsonvideoproduction]

I wish Van Halen would put out concert DVDs of this stuff. It would sell, sell, sell.

[Hunkola]

Eddie admitted in a recent interview that he has "a ton of old footage....even going to back to when I was a little kid and the guitar is bigger than me".

Why is Eddie being a prick into old age? Fuckin' release all this kick-ass footage on DVD or Blu-ray and that shit will sell millions.......I'm dying to see a full-length concert from the '81 Fair Warning tour.

[cvjucla3]

The '81 Fair Warning tour would be sweet to see on DVD, as would the '78 World Tour!

[Hunkola]

I seriously doubt anyone has enough footage of the '78 tour to make a DVD.......I've only see a couple grainy 8mm film snippets from that tour.......but I have a gut feeling Eddie has the ENTIRE Oakland '81 show in his vaults........he needs to stop being a doucher and release that sweetness to the world !!!!

[LoganGuitarFreak]

i would like 2 see eddie as a little kid!

[guitarcro]

i heared there coming out w/ 1 from the 07 tour, but i havent heared much l8tly :(

[stybarrow]

During the first couple of tours, about halfway in the show, the entire VH band would gather round the drum kit with sticks and start playing it with Alex. i like the incorporation of Cream's " I'm so glad ! " in this song. Michael Anthony gives the best backup vocals, damn. he' also a cool dude, at least when i met him after a show about 30 yrs ago.

[DMFlamer]

Who needs drugs when you got this?

[jovan1964]

Down the drain baby

[shamif]

Where do you got this live? I'm askin' because this fu*kin' good live and I can't find it anywhere.

[fg0815]

It is from the US festival 1983 concert in Southern California. Heavy Metal Sunday. Do a google search and you can order VHS videos. Van Halen's performance here is incredible!

[CRIZ0000]

Thats because your a nigger. lmao jk. to each his own bro. we take kickass ballsy rock n roll and you take your wimpy studio rock

[hardnheavyrock]

Audioslave?? that was ust like a side project that already ended

[ouluvme2]

Velvet was

[fender51503]

i like the 1984 preview!

[JManGuitar5150]

I probably just misunderstood what you were saying, but Somebody Get Me a Doctor came out in 1979 (Van Halen II)

[fender51503]

well....if you watched the whole video.

halfway through eddie and alex started jamming to girl gone bad which is off 1984.starts at 2:14

[JManGuitar5150]

Oh... Yeah, didn't watch it all.

[thrasher025]

man i wish i had those overalls....

[CRIZ0000]

lol yeah dude i made a pair just cuz of that reason!

[bassmanjoe]

Killer Solo!!!!!!!!

[krz40]

THE GOOD TIMES!

[muddywood]

Love the Girl Gone Bad breakdown in the middle!

[derdude]

those were the days..

[Hunkola]

TOTAL BAD ASSES......the KINGS OF ROCK!

[captain112233]

what kind of headstock is on that guitar.

[MisterHitchens]

Looks like a Kramer "beak" style headstock to me.

[derdude]

you're right!

[Vraptr7]

Van Halen was a real force back then...They were a REAL unit....Just in your face and up your ass!

[joedinaadi]

this is the heart of van halen

[SL9SH]

ooooooooooooo theres Frankenstein!!!! i prefer much more Frankie than the stupid Wolfganf guitar the ernie ball was still better.

[planetpisshead]

fo sho, sure the wolfgang soungs good, but we all miss frankie =(

[cotonete777]

frankie?!

his name is michael man =P

[peter1493]

haha no hes talking about the guitar. frankenstein/frankenstrat

[cotonete777]

ooh! HAHAHAHAHAH

i get it now

my bad =D

[MetalThrasher90]

from the most heavy van Halen's stuff ever!

[vanhlnfan4life]

Goddamn thart mother fucker could scream back then.

[scottmasson01]

BRING ON THE CHEESE! long live VH!

[leehr777]

Somebody get a doctor guitar solo was nice.

[malcolm6669]

he forgot all time the lyrics i love this dave ^^

[FarrokhBulsaraII]

u serious? i think Dave has a good voice. he's no Freddie Mercury, but he's still got wut it takes for hard rock.

[bongolicious]

Dave is wrecked... it's a good thing he has moves and a presence on stage, cause his voice is awful...

[FarrokhBulsaraII]

ah man. i just saw Van Halen last night and they were amazing. Dave can still scream, Eddie's incredible, and Wolfgang's a great bassist. I rlly do think Alex is a very underrated drummer. he's awsum but nobody knows he's got real talent

[xManchildx365x]

i love this song

[smudabear]

van halen...ive seen them live 6 or 7 times and roth is annoying as shit with his crotch grabbing bullshit...

[stillnailing]

Alex maybe the most under rated drummer ever!

[planetpisshead]

word up

[ccasando94]

BEst styled drummer ever in my eyes.

[sw1tched]

@stillnailing i have to agree

[Railnut]

Love how they put "Girl Gone Bad" in the middle of the song...

[304822581]

ps dave make it a old no.7 shot

!!

[49Shortvid]

awesome!
