Van Halen Eddie van halen eruption guitar solo...

Crowd like awwww yeahhh

When will we have freedom?

F*ckn ayy wow!!!! He definitely was one of the

greatest guitarist.

I prefer Randy Rhoads and Jake E. Lee, but to each their own.

Sure, they're awesome. Eddie had a way off writing riffs though. The stuff he put together was amazing. Those guys were great at guitar. Eddie was great at guitar and writing those songs.

There's a video of Randy and Ozzy doing Mr Crowley live on Wolfman Jack's show that is mind blowing. For a moment Ozzy escapes his alcoholic fog and looks at Randy in amazement during the outro.

I read a wonderful thought recently, what if Rush called and said Alex,we need a drummer. " I am surprised at myself on how much I miss Eddie and Peart.

I saw van halen at Joe Louis Arena in 1986.

Main floor, general admission. I was 14 years old...what a blast.

I still have the "van halen kicks ass" t shirt I wore to junior high.

Jake E Lee was the man . so was Alex Lifeson . Of course we loved Eddie too . don't forget steve lynch , brad gillis, ect .

The apple doesnt fall far from the tree..

Total Magic. One of the best. Never had the chance to see him live. Wish we were living back in those times instead this surreal crap we are living in now.

Attended 5 VH concerts and met Wolfgang.
Ed was the real deal.
Listen to Wolf's new tunes. Hes got it.

there's so many youtube vids of people playing awesome guitar but you know, that's live, no cuts, no do overs, no editing, standing up, in front of a crowd



Michael Jackson's guitarist never got much credit but he was one of the best in the world

That would have been amazing. I attended many concerts back in the day of all the great bands but there are a few that I wish I could have seen. I've seen some of Wolfgangs stuff but forgot about it, I'll go back and check them out.

If Rush needed a drummer, Alez Van Halen wouldn't even be in the top 50 choices.

This isnt a dig on AVH, whom I consider to be an excellent drummer worthy if accolades, but in this case he just doesn't fit the bill..at all.

One of the most Over Rated Solo's of all Time.
Guy was a hack.

RUSH?

Thanks..

So that's what a soul costs these days.

Technically fascinating though and I watched the whole thing.

Morally... without soul.
Funny, that you would sell your soul for something without soul.

Still great, if you like noodling.

I'm more a Randy Rhoads guy just because his style is more to my vibe. He was quiet, a student of the guitar, loved classical guitar. He took lessons while touring. Often they were taught by those who taught beginners and weren't very accomplished players. They'd be embarrassed to have Randy Rhoads as a student but he just used the time to jam with them and teach them instead. Such a cool dude and his playing just draws me in.

...but Eddie is the shit. I got one of his picks from the 1984 tour. He led the way for a new generation of players. Others have done the same things he does, but he put it all together in a way that just made all the hammer-ons and finger taps to another level and made it essential for an elite hard rock guitar player to possess. His playing is just infectious and the songs are usually upbeat and beautifully rhythmic.

Michael Anthony is an excellent bassist and his vocals are a huge influence in the Van Halen sound and he doesn't get enough credit for it.

Sammy is about the only guy that could replace DLR, but you can't top what Van Halen was in the DLR era. They didn't fall apart after him, but it wasn't the same. They lost the bad boy edge. There were no more stories about bowls of M&M's with brown ones removed or they trashed their hotel rooms if you didn't do it. No more Sherman tanks running over a VW. It was Sammy selling Tequila and inviting you to The Cabo Wabo bar.

Randy always wanted to jam with Eddie and trade techniques and theory, but Eddie didn't like to do that. He did his own thing and wanted to keep it like that - which is cool. As a fan of both I still wish it happened.

AVH, Steve Vai, Jason Newsted and Ozzy.

Or Billy Sheehan instead of Newsted.
