Oh man this is GOOFY! It's so great. And at this time Ed was probably the fastest, craziest most technical guitar player on the planet... of course people copied his technique and speed, but nobody could copy his crazy Ed-ness.
@@cheothegeo2742 Wasn't this around the time when Eddie started not being able to tolerate with him? I heard that it was around the fair warning era when Ed couldn't take Dave anymore.
Yeah, it kinda was. But then, all bands are like that to a degree. Read Noel Monk book if you haven't already.. Wow, did they ever fuck Mikey. Damn shame..
there was that small matter of impending nuclear destruction a button push away, with the us leader getting alzheimer's... other than that, yeah, not bad days at all... and cool music...
Way I look at it, not a lot has changed. Ed has passed away sure, but I listened to VH every day anyway. EVH gave us his music, his best playing was always effervescent and fun. Even his dark days were full of expression and meaning. Things like that are timeless, and an indelible mark is left on the soul of the listener. Ed is now just in a different form, but we are lucky to have the spirit of his music captured forever. RIP EVH - your genius is appreciated.
This for me was Van Halen’s best era. I didn’t realise they were bilingual until yesterday and now seen 2 vids in 2 days where they speak their original language.
@@ProMrLecoq01 I have been for a few weekends 😁. The link to Van Halen was because they moved as teens to the US, later becoming legends, and in my experience families go one of 2 ways embrace the host country and forget the past or speak their own language but behind closed doors. I just found it interesting as Van Halen are so iconically American or so I thought.
@@misfit2022 I know! But to me it’s just very typical because out of European people I’d say in manners and culture Dutch people are most like Americans. British are way more conservative and strict in that. Always have been allies as well, even though many of you wouldn’t know where we are lol it’s all good enjoy the music. Rip Eddie
@@ProMrLecoq01 I’ve never thought the Dutch were that rude 😁. It’s a dig at the yanks 🤣. Depends what you mean by British, I have been to Edinburgh in the 90’s and nothing conservative about Leith so I will assume you mean the English. They are until music starts after which they are probably the fans who cut loose the most. I used to go to a club in one of the most conservative cities and they would have everything on from Hatebreed to NOFX to Reel Big Fish to local bands. You could see the sweat running down the walls. Not surprising currently closed, I think you will be surprised I know a lot of people who have been to Amsterdam for cakes 👍. Indeed though no live music currently 😢
@@ProMrLecoq01 the Dutch are not like Americans, how can you say that? Many Americans are way more conservative than the British; 50% vote for Trump for God sake. I personally feel much closer to the British because of their humor and not taking things too seriously.
back when people could actually have fun in public, just a rock band and a small film crew..no big productions and media. So glad I grew up when I did.
Imagine that I thought these guys were as cool as they get. Wow. I miss those days. I remember when my friend put that album on and that fucking solo of Eddie leading into You Really Got Me came blasting out of his monster Pioneer speakers. I said that is gonna be one of the biggest bands in the world. Remember, we'd been subjected to several years of disco and that horrible 70's A.M (SUPERSTARS OF THE 70'S) ... And the bands that we loved that were making Rock & Roll .... Zeppelin, Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc ... weren't making that kind of rock that you could move to. Eddie Van Halen wrote music that you could rock to.
I’m hurting so bad, it hits me surprisingly hard. It gives me lots of solace to know that Ed will live on for a very long time to come and inspire future generations. He got to spend his last moments with Al, Wolf and his friend and ex-wife by his side. That is a really great thing... Rust zacht Ed🖤🤩
Agreed ! He's even doing the hysterically embarrassing Las Vegas showman these days who's over the hill and can no longer sing but just keeps on going! 😀
vivaldesque well, your attempt at wit failed miserably. How many Vegas shows do YOU do? You can’t even figure out how to post a profile pic! Get off the computer, I think i hear your mom yelling that you didn’t clean your room again.
@Kevin Prima Haha. False assumptions. I grew up with Van Halen and DLR. I've always loved the group and I love the man. I enjoy watching interviews with DLR because he's extremely intelligent, witty and entertaining. I'm also more than a decent musician and singer. Finally, I'm obviously not on DLR's level but I've had more than my share of pussy since my teens and even now at 50! Now, some assumptions about you. You lack a sense of humour. You have no musical ear. You're not satisfied with your life and have a romanticised nostalgia for your youth. You think everything was better before. You have an obvious disdain for millenials yet you don't set a good example. Calling someone you don't know an asshole on the Internet is not a sign of a mature adult.
@@SonnyGTA Your assumptions are all wrong. I'm 50 yrs old, have travelled the world, and learned to speak several foreign languages. I love David Lee Roth but I don't worship him as some being beyond criticism or being the object of humor when deserved. As a musician, I find what he's doing in Vegas rather embarrassing. If I had the chance to sing in Vegas I would only do it if my voice was up to it. He's awesome but he's come to confuse entertainment with music. Finally, I'm sorry that you lack a sense of humor, and whatever your age, I find your overly aggressive comment towards me to be sad and pathetic.
It's pretty hilarious how when Eddie and Alex pretend to be clueless Dutch locals speaking in their native language when he asks them if they have heard of Van Halen. Eddie and Alex Van Halen are probably the most famous rock musicians from the Netherlands.
Closely the most famous rock musicians,but don't forget the Golden Earring,bassplayer Rinus Gerritsen was asked to join Jimi Hendrix in the Experience but kind of refused the offer,drummer Cesar Zuiderwijk was asked to replace John Bonham in Led Zeppelin(John crashed himself dead in a motor excident),but stayed with his friends at the Golden Earring. And don't forget Focus.
@@jochemjonker3362 John Bonham death by a car accident? Didn't know jimmy page had a highway in his mansion lol. No the Golden earring off course do not have that status. VH was called a super group. The musical talent of EvH alone changed the musical course of pop music. A very few musicians were able to do that. With VH he did. Golden earring was nevertheless a very good band. Some Dutch bands artist that came close to this band were shocking blue (nice fact is that Nirvana very debut song 'love buzz' was in fact a cover of this band), two unlimited, focus with awarded world best guitar player Jan Akkerman, golden earring indeed and white snake guitarist Adje vandeberg. Other times, unfortunately
@@johnnystardust9366 The Tee Set ("Ma Belle Amie"), the George Baker Selection ("Little Green Bag"), Stars on 45 ("Beatles Medley, 1981), Mouth and McNeal ("How Do You Do?"). I'm not comparing these bands to Van Halen, but they all are from the Netherlands.
Love to see these times and remember. Man... the 70's, 80's and 90's were the greatest times to be alive. I'm grateful to have grown up with Van Halen. R.I.P. Eddie...
the guy at 1:45 says "patser"; typical Amsterdam thing to say to keep someone level-headed haha.. it means being an ostentatious person.. a show-off.

This is the VH I love. All are getting along great and a super charged atmosphere of fun. The fights were silly. They should all feel like brothers. the winning formula, all had to contribute to the music process. The mighty VH.
@@eltoro969 Yeah but did the people have any say in it.??? Did they want those newcomers. ??? You know the answer to that. Japan for instance is a no immigration country and the rest of the world is fine with it but when its a European country it is automatically racist

Seen them tuesday july 22, 1980 baltimore civic center with Rainbow Ritchie Blackmore singer Joe Lynn Turner great concert 9 dollars, 18 at that time just graduated high school my gift to myself. Also seen ac/dc with bon scott and ufo friday june 8, 1979 capital center largo maryland otherwise washington dc. Still have most ticket stubs, same as foreigner and boston-blackfoot, and others were good in the day. queen freddie and heart all good around 1979. Rush also moving pictures and signal tours. Scorpians and blue oyster cult laser show 1978 then 1981 etc. black sabbath with dio, ozzy with randy rhodes. styx 1978 1 week later grand illusion dropped, goldenearring and triumph thunder 7 1985, journey+bryan adams 1981，cheap trick billy squire, vandenberg, starz etc, stranger, aldo nova, outlaws, zz top, bob seger, quiet riot wanted to see white snake, elton john 1979, judas priest sammy hagar 1984 defenders, cars 82, eddie money
Late 90s. After that it was all about being "real" and humble. Grunge pretty much scraped away the entertainment-creme of the cookie and it never got back. The only ones behaving like this today is Steel Panther and The Darkness. And they are ironic and satirical because millennials would never allow them to be like that unless it was a joke. I`m not a boomer but damn those millennials have really painted the world grey.
Holland+indonesia = fabulous musical performance out of this world, thanks to the brothers they made me practice my guitar and kept me out of trouble God bless your family.
When the greats roamed the earth ! I can remember screwing around with my buddies drinking and smoking all day beautiful and lots of laughs life didn't have you by the balls yet!
Hendrik Heemels Sorry no. The VH Bros were in America before they were in double digits and the other half are American and that band formed and grew in America.
Dude, the animosity these guys all have now days just speaks to the love and chemistry they used to have in the day. Sad but its still cool to see how great they all were together.
So the truth is, they did get along well and fit just fine, till Ed became a drunk and couldn't process mentally after that, which is why Sammy left the band too...
There`s a large gap between this and when Eddie lost control over the booze dude. At this point they were drinking a lot but wasn`t so affected by it. But in the late 80s, it started to wear down Eddie. Sammy had probably 3-4 good years with Van Halen until it went south.
@@roaringlion1 I didn`t know him personally so I don` t know how he was to people around him in 1981. Do you? But I know that it got out of control around 1990 and started to affect his public appearances. My point is that you put the time between 1981 to 1996 in one basket, and that`s not only 15 years in total but includes 2 more albums with Dave and 4 with Sammy until he had enough.
@@roaringlion1 IBTW I have seen interviews with Eddie from the time he started getting out of control and I guess he controlled his drinking and behaviour earlier, but stopped caring at that point. So if he was like that the whole time with Dave I agree he had to be a problem, but THE problem? I guess Dave was hard to handle on tour and got on their nerve too so it`s probably a combination of two egos clashing and making it miserable for everyone.
In Norway we didn`t get it until around 1984/85. The radio never played Van Halen until the 1984 album and Dave`s solo EP was a huge hit. But as soon as we got to like them, Dave left. But then 5150 and Eat`em and Smile came out and it was all good.
Maybe 20 years ago it was. Now the weed is far better and cheaper elsewhere. Not to mention Amsterdam is way way overcrowded and full of drunk kids from the UK.
Man, this was hilarious! Simply delicious. Those two guys were ready to kick DLR's ass... or die in the attempt, because he would kick theirs first! AHA
I used to pronounce the band's name "Fun Hahlen" myself for several years, after discovering them - until 'Jump!' was released and TV and radio pronounced them the American way, which sounded sooo weird to me x-))
Just three years before the destructive album Of 1984! You know, the album where Roth and the Van Halen Brothers decided to cut Anthony of the albums credits and any future royalty share! Lawyers drugs and money!
They’re stoned! At least Dave is cuz he always was… dude was hilarious! “Well I tell ya Michael its been a ‘pressure’!Come back when you don’t have so much time!”..with the sunglasses raised letting the viewers know just how much he’s F’n with Mike! The best joke I ever heard from him was when he was asked why he remains a bachelor and he says “Marriage is a 3-ring circus.First comes the engagement ring,then the day you get married comes the wedding ring, and right after that comes the SUFFERING!”😂

Lucky man!!
Those were the days. So weird to read "civic center." That's been gone, a long time ago! :) You saw some of the best!
Wow! Awesome! You had a mighty fine ride :)
Get me a damn time machine. I want to go back to the good old days.
A time capsule...RIP Eddie..
3:04 listen to the amazing tone coming from Michael Anthony.
He hit the major 7. Half step down from the root
@@leifnevener3213 Dominant 7th. I step down from the octave.
Eddy was so modest and down to earth, not like most rockstars, he was a pioneer in making the guitar work for his musical brain.
Diamond Dave...never at a loss for words! :D
David Lee Roth & PAUL Stanley my two ultimate Rock Gods...this vid rules!!
So epic seeing Van Halen speaking dutch. \m/
2:40 "Ik begrijp deze gozer helemaal niet hoor!" 😂
OMG! All that hair between Eddie and David- you don't realize it but DLR's hair was really like a lion's mane!
WHAM, BAM, OH AMSTERDAM! STONE YOU LIKE NOTHING ELSE CAN!
Oops, wrong band.
David Lee Roth is hilarious!
When did bands stop being cool?
Late 90s. After that it was all about being "real" and humble. Grunge pretty much scraped away the entertainment-creme of the cookie and it never got back. The only ones behaving like this today is Steel Panther and The Darkness. And they are ironic and satirical because millennials would never allow them to be like that unless it was a joke. I`m not a boomer but damn those millennials have really painted the world grey.
@@eltoro969 limp bizkit was early 2000's, they were cool and their live act was one to be feared, with optimism
"What if we had Van Halen pretending they weren't Van Halen and asking people if they've heard of Van Halen!?"
(Snifffff) "good idea!"
Holland+indonesia = fabulous musical performance out of this world, thanks to the brothers they made me practice my guitar and kept me out of trouble God bless your family.
still Good stuff! hillarious! when they were Nice! with eachother!
How cool it must have been to be Van Halen in 1983!!!!!!!!!
Paul Glover hey Paul this is 1981 but yes I see your point.
When the greats roamed the earth ! I can remember screwing around with my buddies drinking and smoking all day beautiful and lots of laughs life didn't have you by the balls yet!
Dave is a natural and Mikey was also a funny dude.
this here kids is the greatest hard rock band America ever produced ..world wide as well
Holland produced this band, not the US.
Zoid Entertainment Amen Brother 👍🎸🎸
what about 3 dog night?
Silly Goose 😂
Hendrik Heemels Sorry no. The VH Bros were in America before they were in double digits and the other half are American and that band formed and grew in America.
Dude, the animosity these guys all have now days just speaks to the love and chemistry they used to have in the day. Sad but its still cool to see how great they all were together.
Such a great vid! I already had it, but in real poor quality. Only sad thing here is the watermark - can you please get it off?
MIss these guys..
"Sherman, set the wayback machine to 1980 __________"
So the truth is, they did get along well and fit just fine, till Ed became a drunk and couldn't process mentally after that, which is why Sammy left the band too...
LMAO0O0O0 Alex was a bigger drunk. He hid it better.
There`s a large gap between this and when Eddie lost control over the booze dude. At this point they were drinking a lot but wasn`t so affected by it. But in the late 80s, it started to wear down Eddie. Sammy had probably 3-4 good years with Van Halen until it went south.
@@eltoro969 Eddie was always a bad drunk, that was the problem.
@@roaringlion1 I didn`t know him personally so I don` t know how he was to people around him in 1981. Do you? But I know that it got out of control around 1990 and started to affect his public appearances. My point is that you put the time between 1981 to 1996 in one basket, and that`s not only 15 years in total but includes 2 more albums with Dave and 4 with Sammy until he had enough.
@@roaringlion1 IBTW I have seen interviews with Eddie from the time he started getting out of control and I guess he controlled his drinking and behaviour earlier, but stopped caring at that point. So if he was like that the whole time with Dave I agree he had to be a problem, but THE problem? I guess Dave was hard to handle on tour and got on their nerve too so it`s probably a combination of two egos clashing and making it miserable for everyone.
too funny Dave !
when amsterdam was full of Amsterdammers
It was pretty much white people all over northern Europe back then except for England. And we were pretty damn racist back then because of it ;)
wow never seen this !!................rare !!
Ahhh the 80s.... a much more fun time. Miss you Eddie. And miss those fun times. God help us.
this is awesome....
Damn they had a good time back in the day. And the fans picked up on it. Least I did.
In Norway we didn`t get it until around 1984/85. The radio never played Van Halen until the 1984 album and Dave`s solo EP was a huge hit. But as soon as we got to like them, Dave left. But then 5150 and Eat`em and Smile came out and it was all good.
DLR has charisma in spades.
If I could only go back to early 80s and live it all over again what a time it was. Thanks God for let me be there.
If we could all just get in the old time machine phone booth and go back to days like this.
David is a character!
Amsterdam, a great city to hang out and get wasted in
Maybe 20 years ago it was. Now the weed is far better and cheaper elsewhere. Not to mention Amsterdam is way way overcrowded and full of drunk kids from the UK.
too much funny
Man, this was hilarious! Simply delicious. Those two guys were ready to kick DLR's ass... or die in the attempt, because he would kick theirs first! AHA
This video makes me smile so much. Binge watching Van Halen videos since it’s been 1 year without Eddie💔
Recruitment of Van Halen members 1975 colorized XD
Oh, to be THAT pirate ship at that time! The stories!🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 🏴☠️
RIP Eddie, it's been an amazing run
I used to pronounce the band's name "Fun Hahlen" myself for several years, after discovering them - until 'Jump!' was released and TV and radio pronounced them the American way, which sounded sooo weird to me x-))
DLR was absolutely Van Halen band's the heart and soul !
I'd rather say 'the face of the band', the heart and the soul probably was Eddie.
DLR was the soul and Eddie was the heart. Or maybe it was the other way around. They egged each other on to do great things.
Just three years before the destructive album Of 1984! You know, the album where Roth and the Van Halen Brothers decided to cut Anthony of the albums credits and any future royalty share! Lawyers drugs and money!
They’re stoned! At least Dave is cuz he always was… dude was hilarious!
“Well I tell ya Michael its been a ‘pressure’!Come back when you don’t have so much time!”..with the sunglasses raised letting the viewers know just how much he’s F’n with Mike!
The best joke I ever heard from him was when he was asked why he remains a bachelor and he says “Marriage is a 3-ring circus.First comes the engagement ring,then the day you get married comes the wedding ring, and right after that comes the SUFFERING!”😂
