Eddie Van Halen, David Lee Roth and those other two guys rocking rare footage in 1984, one of the last authentic pieces seen before DLR quit.

I love Easton a lot, but I think Jimmy Page, Alex Lifeson, John Sykes, George Lynch, Robbin Crosby, Warren DiMartini, Steve Clark, Adrian Vandenberg, Brad Gillis, Jake E. Lee, Vivian Campbell, Neal Schon, Matt Pike, Dimebag Darrell, John 5, Randy Rhodes etc are right at the top!

saw them around this time, eddie just owned the stage, he was mesmerizing when he soloed, he was just better than everyone else, the thing about all his amazing talents and tricks was they were always musical, a lot of people could do tricks but that's all they were, eddie turned his tricks into melodies.

@lkb3rd 9 ай бұрын

There was a part here where he was making different notes with a whammy bar lowered note, smiling like it was funny... I laughed too. Then he played the same melody up high ! I'll rewatch and add time with an edit. (edit) it's at 3:50

@lkb3rd 9 ай бұрын

I just came to check the comments before commenting that this solo is really unusual, I am a huge fan and I've never heard a lot of this. Usually on the stuff I've heard he sticks roughly to a basic plan that repeats. This has the standard sections but a lot that is different(including the out of tune section haha).

100% totally agreed. Much better than any of the later solos. Something about his energy, just purely, charismatic and on fire and on top of this game.

@TruthSurge 9 күн бұрын

By the mid 80s, shredders were already outplaying Eddie. Took people a few years to catch up but as for his techniques, people were able to do all that stuff by the 80s and what he had was his own sound and his own style and his creativity. People could outplay him and copy him but he was the one who really put flashy rock guitar on the map, really. Sure, there were others. Rory Gallagher and many, many other great players. Brian May was no slouch in the 70s. Holdsworth was from another planet. Just so many but Ed was the rock god of guitar and really dominated the late 70s and early 80s. Influenced a bazillion players. Very creative guy. Amazing stuff he came up with. I don't think he will ever be overlooked when electric guitar is brought up. Legendary stuff, man.

@spenser5719 7 ай бұрын

As a drummer of 44 years, my influences are Ringo, Neil Peart, and Krupa. I gravitate toward rock for sure, and with jazz techniques mixed in. I’ve played in many bands over the decades, and with countless guitarists. Many who are great virtuosos and many who are very good, and others who have classical training. Most being over 90 percent agree that, while Eddie did not create tapping or hammer’ons, Eddie did something groundbreaking; he RAN WITH IT and did things that the whole world watched and learned from and emulated. THAT is why, in my opinion, Eddie should be revered as at least one of the top 3 rock (or more) guitarists of all time. Most people can copy, but to pioneer with imagination and technique developing non-stop; that is what Eddie should be forever known for.

@balicrimechannel8143 10 ай бұрын

Just when you think you've seen it all...This is probably the only video of Eddie playing the blues. His hands were moving so fast and with so much strength and purpose by this point in his playing. It's interesting comparing this with the 5150-era 'Live Without a Net' solo which is more polished and structured, yet maybe a bit less organic and powerful. Really nice lighting too compared to L.W.A.N which is pretty dark. This video is probably the best showcase of his 1984-era chops. Thanks for uploading this; I hope you'll upload the rest.

This show is right before the band imploded. It wasn't just David about to leave the band, it's also almost exactly two months after Dave, Ed and Alex made Michael Anthony resign a contract with the band that excluded him from future royalties and limited his earning potential. Yet he still seems happier to be there than any other band member. The "all for one and one for all" spirit of the band was completely gone by this point - but God, they sounded great.

Those additional synths Eddie's playing at the beginning aren't just him noodling around to close out "Jump". That's the music he wrote and performed for the criminally underrated 80's teen comedy "The Wild Life". Most of the songs in the movie are instrumental demos of songs that would appear on the later Hagar albums. This one, however, is a song that plays during the end credits of the film, and is basically just additional stuff that I guess he chose NOT to include in "Jump".
