chirrrs !!! Ha ha ha good one

Precisely what I was thinking. 🤔

Naw, modern country has big time crossover. Most of the people there are probably huge VH fans.

He didn't even bother to sing anything but the chorus👎 Lame

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

He looked out and saw fading faces in photographs

YOU KNOW THAT NEW SOUUUUND YOU LOOKIN FOR????? WELL LISIN TO THISSSS

We must all be in our 40s to get that! Damn.

Thanks marty

@@JoshBryan not all of us... I get it. I'm 33.

It's not hard though...

thall yourself stfu

thall yourself Bullshit you know it

I mean, it may not be hard for you all who are obviously pros and world class drummers who think the original drums in this are child's play for us mere mortals to be slackjawed at, but I know I couldn't do it cause I just started playing drums, and I find it quite difficult.

Any decent drummer can hit that pretty easily. However, very few drummers can nail the opening to Led Zeppelin’s “Rock n Roll”. Thats Much harder.

Imagine if David Lee Roth would've just came on stage and sang

Besides the crowd apparently...

Yep

A little.

@@seanoconnor5730 0@+

no freakin doubt!!! must have been som hardcore country for an audience lol but really even if they dont know van halen the sheer overwhelming talent should have got them excited!!!!

I will bet that at least half of the people that are at that concert don't even know what fucking song that is....and the other half are under 30!! Hahahaha!!!

I must admit I never thought a boy named paisley could play like he came out of the park and landed in LA! Bravo

I agree. My guess would be a) the crowd is too young to appreciate Van Halen or probably to even know who he is b) the majority of people in the audience don’t have an understanding or appreciation of musical ability and just want to hear the songs performed exactly like they hear them on the album. But hey, sometimes that’s what it takes to get the wheels turning in some young folks heads and, later on, they realize and appreciate what they heard and saw.

It’s amazing how many people don’t know that song! I’m only 25 and even I know that song. At least I know I was raised right.

Too legit to quit, and that you must admit!

Just goes to show you tone is in the hands lol

Yeah but Eddie did it on a partscaster strat so...

Telecaster can absolutely rock I wish they were used more in western rock music. They're commonly used for rock in Japan which is pretty great

@@Andoroid Yeah, the Telecaster is no stranger to rock. All of Led Zeppelin I was recording on a tele, Stairway to Heaven, Rolling Stones, Tom Morello, etc

Right, wtf!??country music robots!???

For real dude it blew my mind the way they just stood there. They didn't even bob their heads or anything.

@@wingnutmcspazatron3957 like a buncha cows grazing?!

@@muffdiver69x Something like that. Lol

Too young to know, or don't care at all.

Probably millenials that country music execs have targeted for years now.

@@chrisginoc brutal man

No, they're standing there in Awe of this man.

Eddie lyrics? He might have written them, but still... that’s DLR all day

ujusgotmegged Licks, not lyrics

Saying Brad can play is like saying water is wet. Where in the fuck have you been?

Nuno Bettencourt, aka Extreme, the metal band killed by the #1 hit on soft rock, More Than Words, covered by Mike Myers in Love Guru.....whose first big hit was (and 100 extra points if you saw them at the Living Room on Sunday nights with Rick OB) Judy Wants An All Night sucker, Judy wants an all night what????

@@billdurham8477 lol... right on

That boy can play.

Saw it and it was awesome

they probably didn't know half the songs.

I don’t know if your audio is bad but the audience is going nuts!

foredamusic What an ignorant comment.

That's a great idea! Maybe Eddie will read this and give it a shot!

Eric Bee they're lovin it, but it appears to me, they don't know how to MOVE!! I guess they just wanted a chill night at the country bar but at a concert

HH Tele is my favorite guitar. Thin, sleek, compact, balanced weight, guts in the body, with enough balls in that bridge humbucker to play whatever I want.

Man that was my first thought, “Wow that sounds dang good on a Tele.” He is an exceptional player though, and not many people are going to make it sound that good.

I always suspected he wasn't always country you can hear the rock overtones in his country leads. He has a great ear too. BTW a few of the classic Jimmy Page solos were recorded with a tele. www.guitarworld.com/news/listen-to-jimmy-page-narrate-the-history-of-his-fender-telecaster-in-new-animated-video

you smoking crack?

@@djmammo9826 yeah man look up a jam he did with Scott Ian, Nuno Betencourt and a few more guys on KZfaq. It’s called The game of Thrones. He’s a hell of a player.

Teacher needs to see em after skool

I STILL DON'T FEEL TARDY,THANK YOU B - RAD

Amen, brother, say Hallelujah!

He didn't even bother to sing anything but the chorus👎 Lame

@@7ate992 That's the best part lol

If you really want to respect teachers you'd stop voting for Republican morons who keep cutting education funding. Vote Democrat every time you can!!!

@@johnnyquest6115 Sure thing. More money means lower quality of education. Just look at the results.

Adriaan Verburg Excellent response my friend. By the way I’ve just been putting the finishing touches on this burning heart solo by Adrian Vandenburg It’s only taken me 30 years 🙂

SamuraiSamara 69 Shut your commie mouth. Democrats arent putting money forward for anything but their corruption and crimes.

Dude he is playing classics

dude has a tele tone i'd sell my duck collection for!

@@hughneutron5303 get you a set of his signature La Brea pickups made by Seymour Duncan. I got a set in my Tele and they more than did the trick.

Hands down one of the best country guitarists ever, also he's an amazing song writer

I get the feeling he just does the pop stuff to pay the bills. He is an amazing talent. And he seems like a really nice guy, too.

he's a picker

but we get it & thats all thats needed

Hot for teacher in front of catholic young girls. It’s not good. Maybe they’ll grow to know they saw it by corny ass brad paisley and not the much loved band Van Halen.

​@@WapTek123amen!

3rd thought' Shit Van Halen? Where's the pit?

Tapping was first done by country guitarist in the 50s and 60s.

Brad can play with the best of them, he's hell on that telecaster.

He taps in his solo from “Last Time For Everything”

@@HozerO75 tapping was first done by classical guitarists lol

Because most of them didn't. All born well after this song published.

@@Gunny_101st And all of them hicks too.

The PoDunks don't know VanHalen? Crap, nice job Brad and gang

LIke when EVH plays a Brad Paisley song.

And weren't into it either... wanted strictly twang I guess. Bummer for them.

I am with you! My wife knows I am not a country music guy but, I absolutely love Brad's playing!

Yeah. I just stumbled onto this. I can't say I listen to "all music" but if that was really him... slayed it in front of a really, really dead crowd. OMG.

I think musicians should be called as such - musicians, they should play more than 2 genres. They should never be pigeonholed on one style only. Willie Nelson proved to us in 1978 that country artists can sing jazz too.

XD

If you play the riff the way Richie Blackmore played it back in the day it’s a lot harder😉

@Jay Davis thats the joke

@@trentschlick3261 I think Richie just played it with thumb and index finger instead of a pick right?

@@carlosmatos9848 you mean.......fingerstyle??

lmfao

"so they can relate" 🤣

This ain't Bob's Country Bunker!

@@alhollywood6486 He should have sung, "Stand By Your Man." It would have brought tears......🤣😂😁😀

And on F*CKIN Telecaster!!!!!

@@CZECHMATE650 would have love to see him try Eruption

@@timothymattingly2303 There was only one EVH!

The greatest not 1 of

Jerry Reed

@@cleorivas1547 How could I forget, Jerry was awesome, and Glen Campbell

Keith Urban too, man can shred

A lot of great names here but I will add that Vince Gill is a master in his own right as well.

Country pays the bills

Their duet on "Start a Band" is great! Reminded me of Walsh & Felder's glory years.

Aren't they awesome together?? 😘

I've seen Brad Paisley a few times and Keith Urban twice and couldn't agree with you more. I was at this show and while the crowd in the pit is a fairly good reflection of Orange County in California the rest of the Amphitheatre was definitely into this portion of the show. As an aside, Brad is a smart guy and his shows contain a lot of good humor in addition to good music.

@@markboran6017 I swear those two could go rock and be amazing in that as well.

I'm honestly always genuinely amazed by "Chicken Picken" because I really do not understand it.

The only thing Jeffrey Epstein killed, cause he definitely didn’t kill himself

As long as he's not killing himself...

😂 lol

Calling Clinton kildepstein to the lobby

I thought it was Anthony Bourdain.

That would really put a burr under my saddle. How miraculous do I gotta be?

It's a brad paisley concert Not a jab at him, but his fans differ from van halen fans a bit

They probably don't know any Rock music. Like most of us don't do country.

@@papprazziusa4817 I’d wager that most country fans know the major, classic rock songs, just like rock fans (and anyone else) knows the huge country songs.

@@strnglhld i never listen to County music and don't know any songs. Maybe coal miners daughter. Only because of the movie.

I think you're on to something. Seems like an awful lot of my favorite actors play guitar. Shop that idea around to the studios, 'cause I am IN!

In Japan

I'm big rock fan and country fan where i grew both go hand in hand, but not a fan of pop or some rap

Vince Gill is probably better than Brad Paisley. Keith Urban is good as well. Also, rest in peace, Roy Clark. Jammed on the banjo, guitar and other instruments. You said Hee Haw I know you know who I'm talking about.

@@BrentBoere i love vince gill, killer soft voice, and always songs, but i would take brad over Keith tho

@@devinmccurry1160 there's a video of Vince Gill playing with none other than Chet Atkins on KZfaq. You should give it a watch

@@devinmccurry1160 as would I but brad is an animal on guitar but Vince has a nicer feel for it . But then again I think mason puts them all to bed but I do Albert Lees style too

We all just spent three hundred and ninety two moments appreciating Brad. What more do you want?

I agree. He grew up near Wheeling, which is classic rock territory. 107.5 Wheeling/Bellaire is a good classic rock station.

Yes He would pull in more fans

I'm a rock & roll kinda of gal always have been & always will be, but I love all kinds of genres of music period...... But I got to say I love Brad Paisley, not only do he & I share a birthday, but he & I were born in the same state, same county, & same fricken hospital just that I was born long before him in 1964😁...... I saw him back in Houston Rodeo on our birthday in concert & he kicks azz...... Love ya little bro!!!!!!

@@alicegorsen1968 Cool!! You could be Brad's cool older sister!!

My thoughts too. I was like "Wait-what?"

Yeah, he is an incredible guitar player!

I brought my wife to see him few years back and was blown away by his playing

Check out Vince Gill, Brent Mason and Chet Atkins then and be further blown away. Arguably the best guitarists in history, are right here in country music.

Yeah, I only a "lil bit country" but clearly Brad likes to rock. More proof rock is king.....

My guess is that 90% of the audience at this show is hearing this song for the first time. I'm not a country music fan, but this guy is a talented guitarist and musician.

The tempo is 70bpm more than 85% are used to, 90% are high as fuck and can’t tell you where they live other than they’re southern brother “ oooo yeah.. And the rest.. So fucking stupid they think it’s a trump rally

@@stuartpayne6473 lmao

Buddy Foster If you really want to be impressed, watch the CMT Crossroads he does with John Mayer. Two astoundingly good pickers, but Brad easily covers John’s songs, and John doesn’t quite Ethan it on Brad’s songs. Also some great interviews with how they got into guitar and it’s influence to them. Truly a great episode to catch.

Tommy Craft that’s great to know and I will check that out. I mean if he outclasses Mayer that’s definitely something I’d like to see.

I'm a fan of a ton of different country, rock and blues musicians, but I've never been able to get into John Mayer, I'm just not a fan.

Another excellent Crossroads...John Fogerty and Keith Urban. Keith's music is a steaming pile of dogshit, but he can really play.

Most of those country cats have ridiculous chops - they just barely and rarely use them. My cousin has played bass with Dolly Parton band, Tanya Tucker, etc for years playing what to most people just sounds like basic "root - fifth - root - fifth" stuff, but there is more subtlety and nuance to it than a lot of folks realize, and this is someone with a music degree who can rip into some Jaco Pastorius type stuff at a drop of a hat - IF that's what the music needs.

Richard Jeremi He ranks up there with Garth. I like how Garth won’t take millions from iTunes. He allows others to record his hits.

Brad is a Great guy, talented, humble, generous....very proud of this ole WV boy.

I always had it between him and Keith Urban. I think this clears it up though

Chris Stapleton? Paisley is good, Stapleton brings soul to his playing. All option tho👌🏻

@@joeleazott1114 This is about guitar skill

Keith urban is a joke comparied to brad.

Marty Stuart is better

discnman Doe not everyone is a Van Halen fan.

5th gear my dude

Real music? Brad Paisley may be the most underrated guitar player out there. He gets overlooked alot because hes a country musician.. guy can play.

Dang right!!! move over Eddie.

Much respect to Brad, big VH fan here, wish I could have seen this live

Where's your video?

@Brandon Meise lol. Dude you started the "pissing" contest. I hate today's country...and Brad Paisley isn't one of them. However, I would venture to say you don't know much about Brad Paisley? When you share the stage with arguably the best guitar player ever (Tommy Emmanuel) I'd say you are a pretty damn good guitar player.

The thing that impressed me about his contribution was that, unlike the rest of the musicians, he hadn't rehearsed the tune. He sat in and listened, without playing, until it was his turn to solo and then played something that fitted in perfectly while still sounding like himself.

he cured the audience of country aids

He always puts on a great show! I’ve seen him the last three years and will go again as long as he keeps coming!

Me and my brother couldn't agree more. Man that was funny. Found this video and post looking for an instruction video. WTF

michael naretto is tone deaf

Funny shit there, Mike!

New Country, New Coke.

So true. I’m not really a huge country but love Brad’s music and he has incredible picking technique. I bet if you had a guitar duel between Brad and Eddy that Brad could play everything Eddy could but Eddy would struggle with some of Brad’s licks. Brad’s playing is pretty complex and he has tremendous picking technique with lightning fast runs. Eddy is more of a fret hand player and relied mostly on legatos, staccato, hammer-ons and pull-offs. Frankly Eddy wasn’t doing anything that Dick Dale wasn’t foing 20 years before him other than finger tapping.

Jennifer Murnane ....... hell I listen to damn near anything from the Beatles to Bluegrass. I just don't get into rap.

exactly I play mostly country myself but if you can play country well you can play almost anything people don't sometimes understand how much work and dedication serious country lead or session players put in to there craft

I think Keith Urban is more EVH to country.. imo.. but Brad Paisley is not a bad comparison either

Vinnie Veneziano definitely. The main drum riff with the offset double bass and bell roll is seriously difficult to play smooth.

So true. Not really a country fan but I love his music. He can play anything. Mind boggling country licks, blues, jazz, rock, you name it he can do it. Maybe short of Malmsteen style shredding. I don’t believe Eddie was the end all guitarist of the 80s. He was one heck of a writer but guys like Malmsteen, Lynch, and Rhoads had better chaps than Eddy. Eddy was mostly a fret hand player like the guys who came before him but took it to another level. Mostly legatos, hammer-ons and pull-offs. Brad is one hell of a player and has incredible picking technique.

John Z Yet still chooses to play country garbage

Ryan Keith really it's justthe state of country music these days. If he were in the 70s he'd be classic outlaw but people don't want outlaws anymore. He's found a way to shred and write really good music within a lame format. Pretty impressive. Plus, he's one of the best players out there

John Z but can he play djent

no one needs another djent player

Donald Lamendola , I'm pretty sure that one is a G-bender. You can see him yank down on the neck every time it bends a whole step. He plays a B-bender as well.

Donald Lamendola AX FX Fractal for ya

J Bolo no B-bender live for Brad. G-bender only. Also, a lot of his guitars are Bill Crook customs, not Fenders.

Stuntman D29 Paisley doesn't use Fractal gear, no. That's all analog pedals except for a Line 6 M13. All the amp tones are real tube amps.

I own an American Pro Telecaster and I approve of this statment.

Sean Wells just saw the same vid. That's what brought me here. Brad has some serious chops. Always liked him but serious new respect!

With a little southern twist south rnr = southern rock

kwantoon used to be

Caleb Melton Used to be my big fat ass!!!! He's still rolling onward stronger than ever.

KY KRaZY i remember when he used to be a country singer

Caleb Melton Oh my....when did he cease to be a country music singer? He's country as cornbread!!!!!

KY KRaZY lol. no. just another generic pop singer now

They are. As a metal head, his concert was fantastic. He’s a true musician/virtuoso and has an appreciation for all genres of music. Brad Paisley is one of the last true artists.

His concerts are fantastic!

I’m not a country fan in the slightest, but my friends got me conned into going to one of his shows, and I can say it was honestly one of the best concerts I’ve seen

His concerts are incredible. No matter what type of music you prefer

Metal is a joke

Even original artists play songs different live.

He was trying to add some country flare to a VH song and he did an awesome job!Playin about 30 yrs mself and I liked it!

honorablecbm awe, that's really sad. I'm sorry to hear that.

He’s a top tier guitarist.

srrings lol. That's a good one☺

Very nice!!!

Best comment ever!

You win

@@BrentBoere damn, beat me to it

Truth. 90% of those people didn't know what song it was.

Lol such a shame. How has Van Halen faded so much? I bet a lot of my generation wouldn't even know who Brad is either

exactly my thoughts...'hot for what? This sounds nothing like Wrapped Around'!?! Brad smokes on guitar but a shame so few people are able to look past what is fed to them as popular and right in front of them

nope

droid1963 - Funny!
