[felix3840]

I think Eddie is more than just the best guitarist; he is the best non-classical musician of all time. And probably the most innovative musician of any genre.

[rivermikerat]

RIP Eddie. You gave us many years of jaw-dropping, face-melting guitar work. Take your place in a better place next to your peer, Jimi and rock the hell out of the place! Let us here it down here! You will be missed as all true GODS of rock are.

[cupolove1]

@rivermikerat hes not dead, just drunk.

[applez571]

@MeetYourMaker69 you forgot hendrix and satriani

[sixstringfretter]

I am tired of seeing the "Easy, Medium, Hard..." thing. So gay. And where does Chuck Norris fit in? I see his name all over YouTube. He's an actor for Pete's sake. Can't anyone just give a nice comment and leave it at that?

[HostileHST]

@sixstringfretter Bruce Lee! Oh, I said that one already, but Bruce Lee would have been a killer guitar assassin!

[Hockey23005]

@MeetYourMaker69 that is life

[TheDanceofjoy]

Guitar Mastery, thats very clean in one go!!

[kevinrusso1980]

Please add in your description that he recorded it for Michael Jackson for free.

[TheDanceofjoy]

@kevinrusso1980 what ! for free !!! why didn't he get paid ? i am sure michael could afford it.

[C00kieMonst3rrr]

thumbs up if you were named after ALEX van halen MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[lslboss]

that guy was pretty innovative back than

[BullToTheShit]

@lslboss Arguably the most innovative.

[JACKSON2012music]

MUST SEE the above solo on keys ,so real !!

[USAdude30]

I saw VanHalen live twice in Seattle back in the 80's,man they seriously rocked!

[FrancescoSogaro]

0:03 ...just take it -_-

[mscoolchick45]

@FrancescoSogaro hehe i know lol

[brownsound1]

I know one thing no one can touch, and that is Ed's early tone.  I've yet to hear anyone top that.

[chadsdaname1]

im sorry i just love u edward in such the not gay way....always will....not too many heros these days ... u just inspired and put happy in my heart more than i deserve..thank u for being u good,bad .negative. and rad ....tight work bud ....coming from a punk rock guitar player in one of the oldest punk bands around ....just had too say it ...

[wolfgangaxiola]

eruption was recorded in one take to.

[OnTheRun167]

@SSSoM3 No one said improvised. Chances are he practiced it multiple times before recording it. I can believe he did it in one take. EVH is that good.

[SSSoM3]

So he recorded the whole solo in one take? You're kidding me

[11keyboards]

@SSSoM3 You'd be surprised at how many things are done in one take...

[SSSoM3]

@11keyboards If you gonna tell me that he improvised this solo during that take...

[michaeljamsmith]

@SSSoM3 Good grief. Its Van Halen. He does not need to practice this shit any more than Jimi need to practice doing a Jimi Hendrix solo. It a simple underlying riff. He could have played 20 of them and one would not likely be any more or less stunning than this.

[11keyboards]

@11keyboards I dont wanna sound too condenscending, but you dont know much ab

out music, do ya!!?...

[Rockboss1987]

Duhh, no only according to high energy rock like Van Halen, vandenberg, Vengeance, Epica, and lots of trash metal bands

[Distortian]

If it ain't Dutch it ain't much.

[Herunati]

@Distortian hehe holland ftw =)

[Morgenster]

@Distortian Fuck yeah!!

[Freerider456789]

@Distortian i am dutch!

[turockandar]

@Distortian Ha ha ha ha ha don't step on the tulips:)

[Bazzabazeman]

@Distortian Hell yeah

[YOyOFresNo]

lets see eddie play purple haze (live) better then hendrix

[JgHaverty]

@YOyOFresNo on that note, lets see hendrix play hot for teacher or get up.

[leonovi]

Fuck Hendrix!!! Eddie is the best guitar player ever!!!!

[ShreddGamer14]

@leonovi everyone's got their opinions, but there's no way Hendrix deserves that!!!

[LedZepHead100]

@leonovi dude eddies an amazing guitarplayer but you dont need to go as far as to say fuck hendrix he was also an amazing guitarplayer

[retrowaster]

@leonovi Nonononono i used to think that too. but then i head Red House by Jimi and it blew me away. it was then i understood why he is the worlds greatest guitarists

[givemerockbitch]

to me slash is pretty dull, eddie is more out there with the tone and the flashy style that gets the attention but still takes good technic to master most of his solos,

[MrDenizen]

Got the technique of a 10 year old.

[a7xbfmv23]

@MrDenizen are you serious?

[jhcproductions69]

no comment for this guys awseomness

[FrenchFryMaster33]

guitar god!!!!

[Pigotridged]

eddie has the touch

[Falany]

I'm so proud of my country for creating someone this awesome =3

I think he's the only Dutch person who ever really got this famous

[snowybaz]

@Falany

and Goldmember: Dr. Evil, You look very toit. Yesh, toit like a toiger. Yesh Yesh Yesh.

[Looktowardsthesky]

Very true man both awesome guitarists but eddie and satch don't they play different kinds of music? But anyways still great

[jorrit1192]

this happens when you give dutch people guitars!

[Mr25thfret]

Eddie Van Halen is the 6-string "Bach" of our time.

All the other guitarists, mentioned here, made great music.

Eddie made HISTORY!

[MegaLuckydog1]

dudes a looser

[Looktowardsthesky]

Hendrix was amazing bit o don't think he can play guitar like eddie could

[TheWheels70]

@Looktowardsthesky eddie is great, satch is the best!



[Rafals1993]

@xXDarkCrow51Xx if you don't have any knowledge about the guitar, stop saying that Batio is better than anyone. speed does matter, but it's nothing if you have no technical skills in other aspects. all that Batio does is ripping the strings. that's at least boring even though it's fast.

and then listen to (for example) this solo. that's way more exotic, that's not just a connection of simple notes one after another. that's something all the guitarists want to achieve.

[ericakasatch]

"this guy" has been old and dead for years..have you not ever heard of joe satriani?...steve vai?...nuno bettencourt?...john petrucci?...the list goes on ...

[blackfrancis55]

@ericakasatch Ummm, when you say "this guy has been dead for years," and then make a list of other players that have also been dead for years, well that just made my day! Nice work.

[351974gordon24]

Anyone who dislikes EVH has got a few screws loose upstairs

[villalonso7]

@351974gordon24 and doesn't know crap about guitar playing...

[darksorcerermusic]

van halen.....hmmm

Not a fan..to each their own.

i think he should have stuck to drums and piano

[Douglas217]

@darksorcerermusic wow u must be known as the dick to your friends

[darksorcerermusic]

@Douglas217 i am...aswell as being known as that to your mother, sister and girlfriend

Thanks for your wonderful statement.

[borntobewildpascal]

Eddie Van Halen !!!! Rules

[NoStairwayPlease]

Where was that first sample taken from ? No backing track plus much slower ... also what tune was second ?

[Shockwave109]

@NoStairwayPlease The first sample is from Guitar Hero, where the master record was used and therefore it was simple to separate the guitar from the rest of the song. Also, it may seem like it's slower, but if you play it with a backing track, it really is a tiempo.

The second tune is called "The Little Things" recorded in 1996 by Rich Wyman on his album "Fatherless Child." EVH helped a lot with the album, soloing on several songs. However, The Little Things was never released to the public.

[NoStairwayPlease]

@Shockwave109

Thanks dude !

[Shockwave109]

@NoStairwayPlease Welcome!

[Taikamya]

It all goes down to taste. Some prefer one, other prefers another. But I have to say that indeed no Vai or Gilbert or whoever, in rock n roll, of course, can match EVH. I also know that there are better, faster or more soulful or more passionate. But EVH is a TOP guitarist, he's just as good as he can get, and he's pretty damn good. There's no "OMFG MY GOSHHH!!!1!!1ONE1!1!!" Stop with the childish f*cking nonsense. You like ... COBAIN? that's great. Hendrix? Great too. Just GYHOOYA.

[Taikamya]

I'm sorry but... there are plenty of more technical guitarists out there but that doesn't mean they're as good as EVH. Gilbert, Satriani, Vai, Malmsteen, it don't matter. EVH kicks all of them in the nards. Yes Slash is very soulfun and passionate, but he lacks.. well... you can't really compare him to EVH. Satriani may be as soulful and a lot more technical but, Satch is... another thing you know. Can't compare them. Is like comparing BB King to Les Paul. Just makes no sense whatsoever.

[stevezane]

@Taikamya you say there is faster and better than EVH,but you also say it doesn't mean they are better??I'm confused.How can better and more technical can't be better? can you explain that to me...

[TheWheels70]

@stevezane joe satriani is eddie at the next level.

[stevezane]

@TheWheels70 Nah, not the same thing..Eddie is a very tapping player and Joe is the king of legato

[licksnkicks]

EVH is my GOD! 

[TubeFreakJonas]

First of all, nobody has the TONE and SOUL Eddie does playing these type of licks because - as Slash put it very well - EVH puts the BLUES into it.

Second - the Beat It solo is not just technically amazing, Ed's feel for musical TIMING is extremely sensitive. Because the rhythm track is taken away you can REALLY hear how much Eddie's playing is 'breathing' and leaving pauses - rather than just plowing ahead non-stop like less mature players.

Ed's a genius but a hard-working one especially.

[FrenchFryMaster33]

he can do this with his hands tied behind his back easy

[cancerianodiablo]

ok music

[cancerianodiablo]

i like it

[madamimadamimadam]

@greggmahalo How totally relevant to a video about Eddie Van Halen and Michael Jackson.

[TheSalandanan]

if he's the best ,,where is he now?

[Rockboss1987]

The best things come from HOLLAND !

[kingkrab123]

@Rockboss1987 I never cared where He came for, all I cared is that He's Eddie Van Halen, and one of the top 10 along with the Pioneers such as Toni Iommi, Jimi Hendrix, and Jimmy Page.

[pubuman]

@Rockboss1987 Like Gonorrhea? HAHAHHAHA

[Jeeeewce]

Eddie Van Halen is paranormal. Fact or Faked?

[torpinouch71]

what's the name of the second song ?



[matcat]

Vernon Reid. That is all.

[blakk181]

whatever korn at least Slash has still got it

[fzappa007]

@blakk181 got what?

[ironmanozz]

@neoclassi Shawn Lane was a freak of nature when it came to the guitar. Look for the interview of Shawn Lane talking about Buckethead. He gives high praise to BH due to a massively looped piece of music Shawn was working with and BH did not know it was looped and was really close to reproducing it on the guitar. For Shawn to give props to BH and think he was amazing. That said a lot. I'll never compare guitarists. I love the slow single note bends from Clapton, to the extreme shreds of Shawn L

[24FRETSHARKFIN]

The beat it solo is the REASON why I realized this guy is AMAZING! That is one of the SICKEST solo's ever!

[neoclasiccl]

awesome solo and Eddie is a Legend but for all those saying no one to this day comes close to his playing are just silly. Ever heard of Shawn Lane his is probably the only guitarist that no one can play his stuff. Everyone plays eddie stuff but you won't find anyone doing accurate covers of shawn lane's insane technique and musical ability. RIP Shawn.

[evenmix1]

You know what your problem is i am talking history. making history i don't know how old you are but in 77 there was nobody doing what he was in sound his tone his style .I know he did not invent tapping but tell me who it is associated with.I don't listen to what you do and i don't leave recommendations .Maybe next time i can take your comment seriously if you do not tell me i have a problem first. it was you who had the problem with what i chose to write what's it called oh yeah an opinion

[cptnswelly14]

Eddie Van Halen once fingered a girl... she died

[ANy5500]

@cptnswelly14 that was chuck norris

[naruto34780]

It's probably gonna be like 15 years before I can play that

[evenmix1]

Dude have you seen him lately his guitar pick doesn't even want to touch him but has no choice

[TheJammpie]

lol

[LouiseReymes14]

yeaah dutch people rock!:P

groetjes van overijssel!

[majinmelzas]

Now that's an exceptional guitarist :)

[bryaaanflemitaaa2mts]

yeeeeeeeeeeagh

[bryaaanflemitaaa2mts]

yeeeeeeeeeea

[Sythofin]

there's something about his vibrato and bends i can never quite put my finger on. i encourage people to check out the solo on "donut city", it's the craziest i've heard.

[evenmix1]

AMAZING AND STILL NOBODY CAN TOUCH THIS GUY

[MrLuiheid]

@evenmix1

his wife can

[satranifan]

@evenmix1 I love Van Halen....but that's just not true. There are plenty of brilliant soloist, you should look into some other great players.....

[evenmix1]

@satranifan that is your opinion in my opinion les paul is king .don't get me wrong if i wamt to here instrumentals i will listen to vivaldi greatness is what you enjoy listening to stanley jordan is great if you want to get laid .but if you want to rock out van halen ,steve vai ,malmsteen,and the great ralph macchio who destroyed steve vai in the film crossroads he made vai look bad i think he is still practicing for their nexr battle crossroads pt 2

[TheTranslator100]

@evenmix1 "is what you enjoy listening to stanley jordan is great if you want to get laid "

Ironically, the best right-hand tapper is a Jazz dude - Stanley Jordan...

[o0Slipdisc0o]

@evenmix1 Blind heroworship and the misconception that popularity somehow equals quality, that's what your problem is. Check out people like Guthrie Govan, Ron Thal and Shawn Lane ... they are so far beyond anything EVH ever did (both technically and compositionally), it's not even funny....
