So funny how all these guitarists from the grunge Era tried to distance themselves from Eddie back then yet they have all come forth and acknowledged he was their greatest influence. Eddie sits atop a mountain that no other guitar player can even see...
@@manifestgtr it is..Morello calls him Mozart, Corgan was one to acknowledge back then and said that he was a savant after interviewinghim back then claiming even while talking to him with cigarette dangling from his mouth was playing the most mind-blowing stuff without even paying attention to it, Layne Staley got into music after seeing VH live....Cantrell acknowledged too, McCready said VH was greatest live band he'd ever seen, Adam Jones's ringtone is Ain't talking bout Love, among many others not as popular. It's still unfathomable how deep and wide his influence has been on music since 1977 basically. What would grunge be without those players who were all heavily inspired and motivated after hearing and seeing Eddie and VH. People still don't really grasp his impact on music
Pearl Jam and Van Halen based in the blues. Not as far off as ppl think. And i'd put money on he's been playing thay since he was very young. Not many dedicated guitarists that didnt go through an EVH phase.
Agreed. Have you heard him with Matt, Jeff, and Chris Cornell on the Jimi Hendrix tribute? If not search UA-cam for MACC Hey Baby. It's a live take. Well hey, even if you have, it's a great listen anyway. Haha
Pearl Jam was actually top of the “grunge” list, really…as far as the mainstream Seattle bands go. Those guys came from green river, etc. who were considered to be the real MVPs of the grunge guys when they were still regional acts. Alice In Chains, however, I will agree with. Those guys had glam beginnings and way heavier songwriting. They have nothing to do with that label.
I never bothered to learn Eruption simply because everyone else and their cousin was doing it. Plus I have too much respect for Eddie Van Halen. It's like with Beatles songs. Some stuff you just leave alone.
No..read the comments they all think he just improvised it..surprised Vedder let him play it. He didn't like Dave doing cover story on a drum magazine so kicked him out. Schenker is his big influence..late 70s right before VH came out.
Alot of pearl jam haters and guitar gods clicked on this video kinda strange. Now I'm off to click on music videos of artists I dislike and let everyone know they suck. Makes sense.
I don’t know why, but I imagine Eddie being unhappy about this. Not Eddie Van Halen, but Eddie Vedder. He just seems like such a miserable person. Is it weird that i’m surprised Mike was able to have fun for that long on stage?
Nope. EV loved VH. He'd been to many of their shows. He has a 45 of an old album of VH and had EVH autograph it for EV after a show. "Too Eddie, from Eddie"
Lot of notes, jumping from one key to another, .... It's like a kid in a guitar shop showing what he can do, instead of actually playing. I love Pearl Jam though. But no idea what the point of this was.
I especially loved the woooohoooo's blocking out most of it.
Woooohoooo to this comment
LMAO.
His finger lifts are so high its amazing to see him hit those notes on rhythm just shows how great of a guitar player he is.
Huh??
@@user-ox5kh3fy8g look how fat away his fingers get from the fet board
@@JeremyTalaczynski huh??
Do you mean FRETS??
@@falquest ye I was just high af when I wrote it
Now I got a new respect for Mike McCready.
We all wanted to be Eddie at some point. If you are a guitarist, you can't deny it.
Eruption seems like an odd intro to Yellow Ledbetter but yet it works
That's what I thought lol. I was waiting for "You really got me".
Love this audience!

I was thinking that while watching this. Back in the early 90s, these dudes were all way too cool to “acknowledge” 80s rock lol

@@mikegoldstein1246 so you like him then?
Very point,
I must ponder it.
@@quichrlyn a little bit :)
It's really impressive when someone plays eruption on bass!
That was dope as hell.
Best Pearl Jam song ever written
Best song ever written*
So much endurance. He's ready to go full ledbetter after that crazy riff session.
Mike McCready technical guitar is what makes Pearl Jam sound different from others Seattle sound
The chord progressions are so inventive and esthetically pleasing as an alter valhalla."The gift" is intrinsic and well bestowed.
People forget: Pearl Jam never wanted or used the "grunge" label (just like Alice In Chains). They always wanted to be a hard rock band.
And they never were
They are more like, just 90s rock imo
cough***Vitology***cough***No Code******
@@travzimmerman1340 These were the grunge?In my opinion Vs. album was the grungiest, if you can even call this band grunge
He’s a great player. He is a chameleon, nails any style or genre👍👍👍

Awesome to see him playing this
I’m sure that moment was inspiring. Was for me just watching
Great guitar tone and he did a good job
Very nice! Listen to the crowd! That says enough! ❤️🎸😎
Good catch
Damn, Mike put it on us.🤘🤘🖤🖤
Omg❤️legend
A tribute to the man.
fairly close..
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
ooooweee GREAT JOB BRO!!!
And after eruption the singing intro that was cool
Good job on the intro, now it’s times to give up on the sleeveless shirts. Those days are over.
Awesome

Woo hoo free ;-)
at least, he really tries to play the whole thing. did not expect him to do so
This was 2013.
Means its been twenty years since PJ’s heyday so MM had ample time to practice EVH licks.
Wooooo
For Eddie!!! Rip
“I could play Stairway to Heaven when I was 14 and Jimmy Paige didn’t actually write it until he was 26, I think that says a lot.” Vim Fuego.
I don’t think Mikey gets enough credit…
Agreed. Have you heard him with Matt, Jeff, and Chris Cornell on the Jimi Hendrix tribute? If not search UA-cam for MACC Hey Baby. It's a live take. Well hey, even if you have, it's a great listen anyway. Haha
In the ballpark but not a home-run.
haha. run home if you are a fan of van halen
Leave it to Matt Cameron to play it like 30 bpm’s too fast
There's a little Eddie in every guitar player.
He just opened the bible, King Rock Version of Edward 3:16 and read his own interpretation of it. Beautiful.
M E S T R E !!!
I can imagine eddie cheddar groaning stage left haha
If I hear another Eruption cover I’m going postal
It’s an 8 year old post, dude. why did you even click on it?
I agree, the woohoo’s really were a lovely touch
Who knew?
Big Jock
Observation: Why upload this? My dog is covering his ears it all sounds that bad.
This clown is out here liking his own posts
This here shows that PJ was a hard rock band and was lumped into grunge that they never were. Same with AIC

@@manifestgtr grunge is flannel shirts. These dudes are a hard rock band. Period. And. I don't care if you agree or not
If you showed this to mike mccready circa 1992, he’d probably start stuttering “well…um….ugh….yeah….(*cough*wealllikevanhalen*cough*)”
I never bothered to learn Eruption simply because everyone else and their cousin was doing it. Plus I have too much respect for Eddie Van Halen. It's like with Beatles songs. Some stuff you just leave alone.
Almost everyone is doing it wrong, as you can also hear in the video. the most important part is missing the right progression.
Cursed that woohooo guyss..
Hmm I thought they were “anti-flash”
Must be cold there
Good for him. Not the hardest solo ever, but I honestly didn't expect him to be able to play it. Guess I underestimated his playing.
good song to go into after eruption..........................NOT........snore
LOL
I wonder how many of the fans think he wrote that solo. Do they really realize?
No..read the comments they all think he just improvised it..surprised Vedder let him play it. He didn't like Dave doing cover story on a drum magazine so kicked him out. Schenker is his big influence..late 70s right before VH came out.

Couldnt’t hear the guitar. Just heard the woohoooo
This is the most Non Pearl Jam thing ever.
Nah, Mike was influenced by different styles of guitarists in order to get his own sound that can be heard on Pearl Jam records.
Shows grunge bands weren't just into punk...
I don’t know why, but I imagine Eddie being unhappy about this. Not Eddie Van Halen, but Eddie Vedder. He just seems like such a miserable person. Is it weird that i’m surprised Mike was able to have fun for that long on stage?
Nope. EV loved VH. He'd been to many of their shows. He has a 45 of an old album of VH and had EVH autograph it for EV after a show.
"Too Eddie, from Eddie"
😂
It's easy to copy the original the Chinese have been doing it for years, anyway long live EVH
G
In 16 seconds I realized why the second album sounded so sloppy. Dave was killing it, Mike couldn't keep up. On a sidenote, go worked...
Let us know when your 7x platinum record comes out, can't wait to listen.
@@mike8610 You equate sales volume to quality music? You must be a huge justin bieber fan.
I stopped listening to PJ for what they did to Dave.
Their 2nd album is their best and FAR superior to Ten.
So that’s why grunge was created. Mediocre players who couldn’t hang with the 80’s guitar chops!
Good grief!
Guitar solos are really fucking tedious, aren't they?
Interesting how he looks so different from that little heroin dude in the 90s
Because he's not on heroin lol
That's some silly shit you're talking there
The best thing PJ ever did was a cover.
Blasphemy
Lot of notes, jumping from one key to another, ....
It's like a kid in a guitar shop showing what he can do, instead of actually playing.
I love Pearl Jam though. But no idea what the point of this was.
So you never heard of Edward Van Halen. OK
@@Callgross Oh sorry that I don't know all the music in the world
@@colaboytje dude, it's common knowledge
@@alexanderstraniere1857 Oh, so you know De Roos by An Christy as well? It's common knowledge.
@@colaboytje no, but if you like Pearl Jam, you should at least know Eddie Van Halen exists and wrote this song
This is what pro players do, they learn eruption and try to make think folks they can play. Mikes sub par at best.
average. and he's an average guitarist.
You must be so good.
Anything by Van Halen is garbage and this is no exception
Pearl Jam, most overrated band of the 90’s.
