Van Halen - You Really Got Me (Demo)

Judging by Eddie's tone, this is a Van Halen 1 outtake, outtake meaning Dave forgot the words at one point throwing the band off, but still spectacular performance by Van Halen

That means he'd probably been playing about 10 years? It's mind-bending how these guys like Ed & Hendrix can get that good in a relatively short time frame.

[steveinmidtown]

& the fucker wasn't even 20 yet.

[gre1990]

its funny how most guitarists get their 'time' when having 20...

i mean Yngwie Malmsteen 'Rising Force' totally shadowed the '1984' album in the guitar community, and Malmsteen was 21.

steveinmidtown.... he was 23 when all this was going on (b:26 Jan 1955)....I read an interview of Ed's where he said he didnt want to play like Hendrix because of all the effects he (Jimi) used (pedals, etc.,) Both are ledgendary guitarists, but not in the same league.......Jimi is classic 60's (mind-blowing) psychodelia, Ed is classic gonzo shredding at its most awesome love em both!!

VH kicked ass on original songs.

although I like this - I'm glad this version didn't go on the album I prefer the album one :D
