Whos here after watching the Bill Hader impressions?
Anyone else come here after seeing Bill Hader's impression of the Van Halen brothers being interviewed? lol
Worthy comment, That's why I'm here
That is absolutely why I am here. Hilarious! And the other UA-cam video of them by ampdesign
Yes.
100%
Yep
RIP Eddie. VH got me through high school and college. Still listen to them and I'm 56. Thank you, Alex Mike, and Dave. The best of times.
Got me through Jr. High. High school it was MJ and Prince. College it was 5150! You didn't mention Sammy in your thank you. Did you not like that era? No judgement, just asking.
Amen to that
@@trendywipp3715 are there dutch interview
Fair Warning - one of the greatest records ever made.
SICKLY underrated-agreed.
A Guitar Lovers Dream Come True!
One Foot Out The Door
Those solos floor me every time to this very day!
Very true!!! A album made by men for men!!
Yup
@@jacobmccarthy1171 "Sunday Afternoon in the Park" was made for Valerie. And she said her favorite Van Halen song was "Romeo Delight."
No one had Eddies back like Alex.
No matter what issues they have had dealing with everyone else, I respect their loyalty to each other. RIP Eddie.
Logical
Of course they are brother's
@@diningroomfish5470 Yeah. but look at Creedance Clearwater Revival, The Kinks, and Oasis. Most the time brothers in bands end up hating each other.
@@EvilEyeGypsy true but in this case alex does not butt heads with Eddie, because Alex is cool just being apart of the band, so that's why Eddie and Alex never had a problem with each other,
These interviews with his brother are true treasures.
With regard to Eddie’s appearance, he had suffered from chronic avascular necrosis and diagnosed in 1995 which has been known to stem from alcoholism. In subsequent interviews, he was candid about his affinity for the booze and cocaine combo. He stated that he used them in private to work, “the blow keeps you awake and the alcohol lowers your inhibitions.”
While we all are saddened by his early departure, the world is eternally grateful for the massive mark he made on the future history of music. He lived his life in the manner he wanted, loved his family and friends, and will be forever loved. What a wonderful life to have lived!
Well spoken. He's pretty chill naturally but if and when you add certain ingredients, for example, ALCOHOL AND COCAIN.....one might (unfortunately I know)find themselves in a different place mentally, emotionally, and physically. Some of the best have succumbed to various combinations of stimulants in their lives and careers and paid the price to one degree or another. All Eddie knew was music and so a number of people who he had contact with were probably not the best choice for him. Such is life on the big stage. He certainly doesn't appear to have a big head regarding their success though. Gene Simmons once said that you play what the boss tells you to play. That when you're up on stage (whatever stage you're on in life)and you think you're in control, you need to learn how to say...would you like fries with that! Pretty profound statement coming from the tongue! 😝
I guess that are you critique people out there are now doctors,right ? How the F do you know what the person is all about? You are just basing it on your own opinion. Unless you are a md,his doctor and know he records,keep assuming what you think you know but Don t know at all. Even if you base the chronic of diseases on here. Don t come on the end after bashing him and say oh rest in peace. The main thing that u post is respect and that's the most important thing ,not facts that you think are true but not. King Ed is a great guitarist that made other musicians the path because if it was not for him, I don t think music would survive because he opened it up for all in 1977/78.
Excellent post 🙏
Well written Cheryl batten ! Awesome!
So true everyone has to do what they need to do to get through life, Eddie did it,Elvis did it, everyone does it right or wrong, RIP BROTHER 🙏
Everyone needs a brother like Alex, love how he backed him up and bounced off him, great respect there
hmmm read noel monks book then il ask you again!!
@@catherinethompson547 while Alex had some bad qualities(I read the book) I think he always had his brothers back. when push came to shove he was the older brother and was always protective of eddie...Im sure they fought like all siblings, and I'm also sure the substances both used didn't help.
@@catherinethompson547 i havent read it, what were some of alexs bad qualities?
@@catherinethompson547 i read it and sure, Alex did some bad stuff but he was always good to Ed
@@f4lc0n15 .........they all screwed Mikey..........??
Yeah man, this was obviously a rough period for Eddie. He looks older here than he did more than 10 years later during the A Different Kind Of Truth era. These interviews have really made me love Alex more and more. He really seems like the rock of that band and a great older brother.
Yeah he does....Skinny as a rail, pail, sick looking, old looking.....Alcohol and nicotine IS A KILLER, NTM whatever "go fast addititives" added to that at times....
yes the coke hurt him bad
He enabled Eddie a lot in his addictions well past the point he should have been permanently sober.
Listen to Noel Monk's audio book on UA-cam. He was VH's manager from 1978-84. You might feel differently.
@@xdreampcs8554 Hmmm🤔.. Interesting.. Now, are you referring to the 1st commenter about Alex?....Orrrr?
Eddie & Alex coming up with Van Halen band, made the world a happier place. Whenever you watch and listen to their music videos, you just feel happier. Their contribution to music world is not just their music. They were just great entertainers on stage, as their stage presence was simply incredible! The world has been a happier place in the 70's. EVH is unmatched!
It was daves idea
@@gregnason4427it was? But the focus is the Van Halen brothers period and their talent but I love DLR
Nope dave had the personality to drive them on and they knew it,
They are lucky Dave chose them
He's as humble as he can be, you can tell Alex kept him grounded.
Humble? Are you kidding?!! EVH was almost anything but humble. He puts down everybody from former bandmates (Roth, Hagar, Anthony) to contemporary rivals (Randy Rhodes), to his major influences (jimmy Page). And look at pictures of him circa 2005-07, I think Alex stopped grounding him by then
my guess is the electrician was drunk
When Ed Leffler died, it all went to Hell in a handbasket. It is wild to see Ed here when you think of how good he looked sober in 1995. So happy he spent his last years sober and got to enjoy time on stage with his son. I don't care, he needed that. So did Wolf.
Ray Danniels destroyed VH
lol "sober" in '95
You are on point about Ed L. Sammy alluded that in his book the band unwisely had no back up plan in that respect and combine that w Sammy having to do 1 more album to fulfill his contract w Geffen yeah it was a recipe for disaster
@@goodquestion1105 Nope. sorry to say...
MY KITTY PERCY Eddie wasn't sober in 1995.
My mom's old boyfriend played with them as children, he was also Dutch- Indonesian. I went to the same high school as David Lee, John Muir High School, and Eddie and Alex went to our rival Pasadena High School. I've always enjoyed their history in my hometown, makes me feel cooler by association.
Same I grew up around them and remember hearing the stories of them, and my aunt ex boyfriend new david lee Roth in high school, and my same aunt went blind and her doctor was david lee Roth father back in the 70s
beautiful story / comment
do you know John ?
You are. Hope life is good for you. ♫
I think I once owned Frank Sinatras bicycle!
Lol!!!
We often think we know our heroes but in the end we forget that they truly are human and are prone to suffer the same faults we all have. Thanks to the brothers for all the good times and may you rest in peace, EVH.
Well spoken my friend
@@robtolley1647 thanks bro
I love
You ed
Baby come on
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
I think looking back, Ed was a perfectionist and was extremely driven I think life probably came easier for Alex who was just more laid-back and didn't put nearly as much pressure on himself. That said, that pressure Ed put on himself is what made him a legend. RIP EVH.
This interview just showed up on my news feed. Good interview. I still can’t believe Ed is gone.
Eddie was a great composer and song writer. I'm glad he sobered up before he met his creator. I still remember getting their first album on vinyl of course.
Shit. Eddie is the creator.
What Hagar's fans don't understand is the worst what Ed did was to himself . Ed had no-one to blame for his habits of chemicals or alcohol but himself . If what he allegedly did with Mike was so bad , then Mike should have left if he didn't like getting any royalties since the 1984 album . Ed did write all the instruments himself since 1984 . That's when he had to live with becoming a sessions player . And there's too many lies from Sam . And Sam said it himself that he quit . He wasn't tricked to quit , he has his big mouth and himself to blame for that . Whatever happened Al and Ed kept out of the public because it's personal . Wether you're for or against the Halen Bros it's NOT YOUR BUSINESS . I'll say that again wether you're for or against the Halen Bros ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS . THATS WHAT REALLY TAKING THE HIGH ROAD MEANS . THEY WERE BIG BOYS BY NOT WRITING A BOOK OF LIES AND BITCH ABOUT IT TO THIS DAY .
@@akfreed6949Sammy helped the band go 4x platinum and was a real musician and not a lounge singer. A guy like that can say what he wants. The Van Halen brothers never recovered from Sammy’s exit, and I take no joy in saying that. They’re phenomenal musicians and changed rock music forever.
@@eugenehavens yeah? Gee they went platinum BUT their sales petered out quickly too . If you add all the Van Hagar albums COMBINED , they still don't outsell Van Halen 1 and 1984 combined . Oh yeah ex-wife #2 STILL says he outsold the DLR era albums . Here's an interesting fact . Hagar LOWERED the Roth/Halen era . Dave would never let Van Halen OPEN for a younger band like Bon Jovi . Roth himself he had standards and wouldn't open for Motley Crue again NEVER open for a younger band . Ex-wife #2 would . Oh yeah , even though Al Mike AND til the day Eddie died all said Captain Candyass quit , Captain Candyass STILL LIES and says he was fired because of Ray Danniels .
@@akfreed6949No 2nd version of a mega band will ever outdo the years of grassroots touring and selling (and even if they do, the purist fans will still prefer the original). So saying Van Halen Hagar version wasn’t as successful is not really the point. Ed and Al lost DLR and needed someone. There wasn’t an option to go back. If you want to compare history 1 to history 2, go right ahead. It isn’t the point. Ed and Al ran off Hagar. They put out their worst album after that and a memory lane record with DLR who they clearly hated. If you have a problem with Hagar, no worries here. But the facts of the situation clearly show the Van Halen brothers ruined their best chance to keep VH going. They always got their way in their band. They wanted Hagar gone and they got it.
I am so fortunate to have experienced this band as a teen in the late 70's until now. Seeing them live several times throughout the years always reminded me why they were a quality band. I am looking forward to hearing what may see the light of day from the 5150 vault. I cannot imagine what Alex is going through. He was a solid anchor as Eddie's brother. I hope to hear more from Alex. The music world needs musicians like him to carry the torch.
My friend & I went to see Van Halen in 1979 we both dropped a hit of California Sunshine acid .. They put on a great show guitar solos & Alex drum solo it was great ... I'm so glad I got to see them .. RIP Eddie 💔🎸
Definitely one of the greatest guitar players of all time, but also a truly great songwriter. Eddie wrote so many iconic badass guitar riffs.
Sometimes fame and fortune tend to create arrogance in a person, I don't know about his earlier years but Eddie kept his humility. It's too bad cancer took him away from us at an early age. Rest In Peace Edward.
Wish I had a cool Van Halen story. I didn't even get to see them live. I was 12 years old when I bought the Diver Down cassette back in 1985. 35 years later I still get amazed listening to Van Halen's music. It's very nostalgic for too.
True world class performers and legends, Sincere condolences and Rest in Peace Eddie
Met Eddie a couple of years ago while having lunch at Pebble Beach. He was with a couple of loser comedians I won’t mention who. We walked out together and I finally got the nerve to ask for a photo with him. He was more than happy too. He looked good. I was a drummer so one day it would be nice to meet Alex. I think this is the first time I heard him talk. Sounds very cool. Hope Alex & Wolf are finding peace with Christ. RIP Eddie
Carlos Mencia????
I know the comedians your talking about. It’s no one worth mentioning as it’s not a huge name to most but I remember the era you spoke of. If people look hard enough they can hear the comedian speak of that era. Unless it was literally just a couple of years ago and not a decade ago, but all of eddies interview are great. I do believe the family are believers, Valerie raised Wolf and I think Alex and Eddie were raised with a certain faith. Personal demons aside, we all have them, it’s great to see the humanity of the two brothers and you can tell in this era Eddie was in a place of heavy substance use and decades of habits and thankfully was sober in the final ten plus years or more or so of his life before he passed, but you can tell areas where Eddie begins to get defensive when he says “it’s not just me, it was all of us” and Alex comforts him and the interview moves on. But I just will always love the memories and the music and all of it.
Oddly enough, or not, it’s kind of crazy, the last live concert I saw before everything got cancelled from the pandemic was seeing DLR perform Van Halen music LIVE.
I count that as a blessing and an interesting weird synchronicity that one of my musical heroes EVH passing that brought light to my life and the music they all creative saved my spirit. RIP Eddie Van Halen, peace and love to you all, the family the bands the fans alike!
@@ENigma-um8zw it was almost 4 years ago.
@@jlobiafra no
@@ENigma-um8zw
DLR and Kiss was my last concert before lockdown as well!!! We locked down the very next day😥
Love hearing the brothers talk about the music. Hope Alex and Wolfie continue to jam cuz Eddie will be watching and listening from above.
"Fair Warning" is a brilliant guitar album and the best VH album, IMO. Love Ed's response about "Panama" and Roth: "well, he's still in Panama then." LOL.
I dunno.. Their debut album is best in my humble opinion
@@robink.9966 Sure, that's a great one as well. There's a reason that that one has been certified "Diamond Status" by the RIAA.
@@JokersWild70 Didn't know that. That must make diamond Dave proud.
I agree mate.. its a classic
Debut has the classics of course, but Fair Warning is the vicious guitar. That opening of Unchained is the rippinest lick I've ever heard.
I remember the fist time i heard jump i thought it was the coolest tune i have ever heard.I am 53 now and i still love that tune after hearing it probably 10000 times
I am 73 and it is my ring tone. Loved david lee roth as their frontman.
Jump was such a fun, cool video
@@judithryle2113 Keep on a Rockin Girl!!!
Kevin Smith: I vividly remember the "world radio premiere" of Jump in late '83 when I was a kid. My sister was driving the car, I was riding shotgun. It came on and my metalhead (at the time) sister said, "THIS is Van Halen?" It was a shock to me also, as I had already been exposed to Fair Warning and their debut album. But once the initial shock wore off and I got used to it, I saw Jump for what it is: a GREAT song!
Came here after watching Bill Hader's impression of the VH brothers.
I would love to read that chain text of the Van Halen brothers
Alex explaining Panama to both the interviewer and Eddie is one of my favorite tidbits ever. Like you know from what Eddie said here that he wasn't clear on what the song was about, and you KNOW Dave would've given some rambling, oddball answer that didn't really answer anything at all. So hearing Alex casually break it down was entertaining and frankly kind of satisfying.
I thought it was about a race car that Dave saw on TV called Panama??
"Satisfying ..." Heh heh heh ... you just brought the Beavis out of me ...
@@leonskum.5682Dave wrote a song about the Statue of Liberty, so that would make sense.
Great interview, thank you for posting. Eddie's recall is amazing. I still can't believe he's gone...😔💚🎸
Honestly, this is the most interesting interview Ive ever seen of Eddie and Alex.
I agree considering they don't do much press , usually very tight lipped and private.
The whole band was exceptional in what they did....Alex's drumming is as awesome as his brothers guitar playing 😊
I remember seeing Eddie when he toured Perth with Gary Cherone. It was unreal. Such an awesome concert. There will never be another band like that again. Eddies sound was awesome and we will never have another guitarist like Eddy 🤩
Cherone tour with Van Halen was the best
@@checkmate2861 🔥
Alex is a great big brother has Eddie back all the way.
Eddie is UNCHAINED from the world. He is now on the Stairway To Heaven. RIP. Eddie.
I know you know that one of those is a Led Zepplin song but I guess you wouldn't want to say "He is now Runnin' With The Devil".
Watching this I have tears in my eyes falling down my husband eddie admired eddie van halen Rip EDDIE van halen you are a guitar God Thank you for the music
Ed looked like quite gaunt in this interview, he actually looked like Mick Jagger!…😮
Absolutely!
Eddie and Alex dropped the ball. They had already hired Mitch Malloy to be his singer, and yet they agreed to appear in public and lead fans to believe he was back.
mitch sounds horrible with them
Love Eddie gonna miss him dearly but have the music for life
Eddie was in a bad place at this point in his life. I’m glad he cleaned himself up towards the end and un-did a lot of the damage the substances did to his embattled relationships. My hat’s off to Alex. A class act, always looking out for his kid brother (with very little power or control over him).
Not really, he was actually pretty sharp here compared to his Howard Stern meltdown. He was in waaaayyyyyyy worse places than this interview and time.
Had to be tough being sober. For a decade. While your brother is still burning both ends. Al still standing.
He looks sick, face sunken in.
I'm tired of morons blaming Ed's drug or alleged drug problems for what happened between him and Captain Candyass quitting . Whatever really happened Ed never said exactly BUT Sam said something to really really piss off Ed .
@@danielduplantier3741 And I've been tired of SNITCHES AND RATS . Whatever problem or alleged problem Eddie had was Eddie's problem , NOT YOURS . AND ITS NONE OF YOUR FUKKIN BIZNESS . BUT CRYBABY HAGAR MADE IT YOUR BUSINESS . THAT MAKES HIM A RAT AND A SNITCH . REAL MEN DONT RAT ON THEIR FRIENDS .
That tape library... every Eddie Van Halen fan should be wondering about that treasure trove of unheard music. If the Van Halen family can benefit financially by releasing it in some form, I hope they do. He created it, so they should benefit and we all want to hear it - thats a win win as far as I'm concerned. Rest in Peace EVH
I'd love to hear some of the recordings of when they were a club band in good quality. They were just ridiculously good as a club band in the '70's doing Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The James Gang, etc. Listening to that old '70's stuff, it boggles my mind that it took them so long to get signed to a record deal.
If you've ever seen the movie THE WILD LIFE from the early 80's, EVH did the soundtrack to it, and you can hear songs that didn't come out for almost a decade in there and in the raw form. That'll give you a sense of the scope of the tape room.
I would bet its a lot of tapping and hammer ons
Normally songs from “the vault” aren’t released for a reason.
I can say alot of the tapes were concert recordings . They recorded their only concert in Anchorage Alaska and had microphones around the inside of the arena . He also had alot of demos made since the 5150 studio was finished . Ed played all the instruments on the 1984 demo for the rest of the band . Scammy Hagar said there isn't much left . How the fuk would he know ? He hasn't been in Ed's studio that much in the past 26 years .
It's crushing to watch this interview in a way, you can tell Ed is so sick here. He's still smiling and as sharp as a whip but physically unwell I think.
1997: "Enough stuff for a hundred new records".
2020: One new record of material mostly composed in the 70's.
2020...EVH death ....fuck year
6:15 --Ed recorded his guitar solos for Fair Warning at 4 am in the morning with his sound engineer...wtf? Wow..some of his best solos ever...
Yeah, I thought this was interesting, too!
When you're up 4 days straight what does 4am really matter?
he did the same thing with 1984. Him and the engineer up for days working on it at 5150. Ted Templeman talks about it in his book
That was a favorite album to him . No cover tunes . He was the boss on that album . He argued with the overrated Ted Templeman . Ted wanted some cover tunes and Eddie didn't . I think FAIR WARNING is the best Van Halen album still
@@akfreed6949 I agree. Ted is a square his book is boring
Who’s here after Bill Hader 😂
“ONE AT A TIME ONE AT A TIME” that bill Hader impression was amazing
I KNOWWW I need more hypothetical ‘ The Van Halen Brothers’ skits NOW ASAP
I can’t believe someone actually replied though who also saw the video
Love you man
@@Greeanerbeans77please send link I'll bet it's hilarious
@@Greeanerbeans77 that video is a gem
It’s so funny to hear bill do the VH bros love you too buddy
Hadn’t seen this one until recently. Compare this to only 2 years previous, the Balance tour. His weight was his “tell”, like most addicts. Bless his heart. Genius is a 2-edged sword.
He lived more in a year than most live in a lifetime
Eddie held in so much anger.... RIP
I agree. He should have resolved his troubles but he had his reasons.
In his latter years, he appeared very happy. It was good to see.
@Bruce S Life is short. Unfortunately Eddie learned that the hard way. RIP.
Look how healthy Alex looks here. Too bad his brother wasn’t the same. Ed lived a very long and prosperous life considering how hard he lived it. He really made some great music too. RIP
Alex much better health wise very obi it's. Neither brother were good looking, but Alex had better looks. Eddie's teeth shape in his mouth was unattractive, while Alex had a nice mouth
Windy City Dueling Pianos - wasn’t Eddie clean and sober for quite some time before he died? that’s what’s important, and through it all, he was a good dad
@@MarylandLawGirl He wasn't here. After the poor reception and sales of VH III, he had relapsed and was back drinking heavy and using drugs. He was a mess. Check out the video "Edward Van Halen Behaving Badly".

Dance the night away is a great song..can't believe they didn't like it.
As heavy hitters, it was too pop.
@@5DNRG there's not a VH/Roth song I don't like! I love black sabbath too and a lot of heavier stuff. I like variety of music from motown to rock. Probably why I love all the Roth stuff. Although EVH is the main reason I love Van Halen!!
@@5DNRG I love you ❤😊
Nah it was a filler
It was a bit of a let down
from the debut album, but we still bought copies and listened and appreciated didn’t we
does sound better now as Ive slowed down
Fair Warning is also my favorite tour shirt with the band on the front and the VH LOGO on the back!
He just loved the guitar music and had a passion for it it’s all he knew and thrived god bless Eddie and his brother
This is probably the best interview in terms of hearing the truth from the brothers about their songs. Most American interviewers ask dumb superficial questions that doesn't get inside the music.
There are the One hit wonders and then there are the Van Halens. Certain musicians have a knack on making many wonderful music.
He's got a vault like Prince.
More like he probably rolled tape whenever he stepped into 5150. I'm sure the tapes have tons of silence and the occasional sounds of a crack pipe being lit or heavy snorting of lines..
The only difference is that Prince's vault is filled with complete albums.
@@violetgolden3380 you cant be sure that Eddie doesnt have complete music
@emmanuel de la cruz who said it a sport competition except you
@@desertmoonlight2880 true, but not much. He said himself it was mostly recordings of him noodling around. Said that for years.
Rest in Paradise EDDIE VAN HALEN🙏🏽🎸
Eddie, (AND Alex and Michael and Dave and Sam, and Wolf), so grateful for you and your music. Shared much of this in a response so don’t mean to paste. But this was a wonderful interview review I had seen before. Captured during a time when the band and Eddie was at its most uncertain. -Personal demons aside, we all have them, it’s great to see the humanity of the two brothers and you can tell in this era Eddie was in a place of heavy substance use and decades of habits and thankfully was sober in the final ten plus years or more or so of his life before he passed, but you can tell areas where Eddie begins to get defensive when he says “it’s not just me, it was all of us” and Alex comforts him and the interview moves on.

This is the best interview of VH I've ever seen. Wish it was three hours longer.
Eddie Van Halen was the GOAT. He was very humble about his amazing talent.
I like to think he's still the GOAT.
Great interview,I miss Eddie
He looked a lot better when he sobered up. This man fought some wars we couldn't imagine. #RIPEVH
EVH looks so much better and more humble and just all around different man in an interview he held for the Smithsonian in 2016.
Everybody has the right to improve and to change for the better.
I absolutely love Ed and Al, and have been a huge VH fan from the start. No disrespect, Ed always was a cutie, but it's sad to see him like this due to all the drugs and alcohol he was doing then. Thankfully, he got sober again. I just wish he could have kicked smoking and vaping earlier too. His fans will forever miss his guitar genius and talent. RIP Ed, I hope you are with Jan and Eugenia and happy on the other side. There will never be another EVH. Your fans will never forget you and always be grateful for all the years of great music!
Here to see & hear EDDIE’s voice, rip!
Can definitely tell that Eddie was showing signs of getting sick according to his face and frame.
Ed had so much music in him and watching this, something I never noticed before, it was really like you were talking to one person!🤣
Hope you're hangin' in there Al.
Alex didn't write shit , but he slammed Mike for not writing songs
Yeah, I love that little fact too.
Eddie was so humble 🎸🎸🌠😎
Brothers forever! Blessings to VanHalen family! ❤️🍀
Dance The Night Away is a KILLER track.
Wow the brotherly love is deep with those two
Love the sabbath story ....is this song ever goin to end?....... priceless
😢 saw them first time, summer 1980 in San Juan PR. Saw them last the summer of 2015 in Cuyahoga Falls Ohio. Thank you for your inspiration, the music and the great times.
I just love two brothers so close. Plus, they're good guys and epically talented. I love their music and have stated they're my favorite. "JUMP" and "DREAMS"!!
Fair Warning is without a doubt one of my favorite VH albums.
Wonder what alex thought when ed said “where still looking for that elusive drum sound “
This was a great interview
i loved watching this and hearing eddie talk again thank you. rip eddie
Happy birthday Alex. Greatest drummer of all time
No, this video is Eddie and Alex - u must be thinking bout someone else
Eddie looks like mick Jagger
Eddie was too thin.
Lou Reed
This is a beautiful and succinct portrayal of the difference between world elite musicians vs. rock singers.
Eddie will always be here all around us. Forever
Someone send this to Bill Hader.
RIP Eddie!!!! We love and miss you already.
I love Eddies outlook on music.
I love to think of Diver Down as one of EVH's "different" children who's nonetheless still loved. I listened to that tape on loop while reading Grapes of Wrath in 10th grade, and the two art works are forever intertwined in my mind. EVH was one of the all-time greats.
Vintage interview. Rest in Peace Sir Edward Van Halen
Eddie looked really old in 1997, he looks much better and healthier now

Idk about that
Fair Warning is an album that punches you in the gut and refuses to apologize.
You can see Dave made them famous by the way they diss Panama and Dance the Night Away. Dave knew what was hot, the brothers were just too stuck up, that's why they blew it with Van Halen 3, they just didn't understand how to be a good product without Dave's or later Sammy's input.
dave made them famous? dave didnt make them shit, way to downplay ed, alex, and mike and make it all about dave. Dont forget ted templmans input played a big part in how a lot of those songs came out too. Its actually kind of funny too that without VH dave just kind of fell off the map and his solo career was finished by his third album
@@knightfall9394 Man, sad I didn´t see your comment before. Well... Look. Tons of outstanding artists out there playing on subways or small bars. Why? They don´t know how to sell themselves well. The name of the band was Mammot. Who the hell would be proud of being a fan of a band which name sounds like a prehistoric elephant? Dave came in, and was like: "duuude, your last name is awesome sounding and looking, be Van Halen, fools!! Then the brothers were like: "let´s make these overcomplicated, gloomy, deep songs with layers upon layers of "genius"". Dave was like "the hell with that! Let´s make simple songs about girls and parties and booze, things that people can dance to, groovy, happy stuff!" They went with it and proved Dave right. Like man, there are tons of people that are more talented than Mrbeast, for example, but they don´t make more than 2000 subs. Like it or not, you have to develop a brand, a character before you develop an artists. Dave was good at that, the difference between Mammot playing gloomy, deep songs in rotten bars vs Van fuc##ing Halen playing stadiums!!! I´d like to say "dude, with your talent you will make it far in life, keep trying" and all of this self help garbage. But no, real life doesn´t work like that, you gotta become a good seller first and Roth was just that.
@knightfall9394 eddie van halen didn't like and clashed with ted templeton. I like eddie as a musician but he had a massive ego
That's the risk you take when you get into a band with siblings that are as close as these two. Something goes sour and they will team up at the drop of a hat.
Two great guys!!
100 or so albums worth material archived in 1997. Holy fucking shit they'll be releasing new material for ever. Thank You Eddie!!!!
true artists, musicians.
A true talent doesn’t think they are a “genius “ they just love music
holy hell they are flying.. RIP Eddie
Master blaster in a class all his own with taste no need in getting use too!
Thanks Eddie! 🚀🚀🚀
Every Van Halen fan loves fair warning. If I can only have one of their albums that would be it.
Best Song in my Opinion by Van Halen is "Mean Street" and it's sad cause a lot of people never heard it!
ha! one of my all time faves as well! love it,in fact apart from the first album thats my next fave album too.
Cheap talk, when you consider they never did a record again after this. Failed because they never had a songwriter again, like Sammy said.
A different kind of truth with Roth after this.
I hope we get to hear some of those demos and songs!!
Alex van halen the voice of reason.
Missing you Eddie.
💋💔💙
