“Ed Van Halen is going to change a lot of lives around the world in the next 12 months” - Kim Fowly predicted in Phonograph Record in 1977. Van Halen had only recently been signed to Warner at the time of Fowly’s review, and the Los Angeles band hadn’t yet released their landmark debut album. But they had created a tremendous following in the Los Angeles area with a massive heavy metal sound emerging from a small three piece band (David Lee Roth fronted the group as a consummate showman, but left the instrumental part to Eddie on guitar, Eddie’s brother Alex on drums and Michael Anthony on bass). By the time the band released their eponymous first album in February of 1978, Van Halen was poised for almost-certain commercial success. But nothing could have prepared audiences for the album’s completely instrumental second track, “Eruption,” in which Eddie groundbreaking guitar playing was showcased, full-force, for the world to see. Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist, Zakk Wyld recalls: “It was beyond mind blowing. I’m going, ‘That can’t be a guitar. What is that?” Phast Phreddie Patterson wrote for Waxpaper in 1978: “Boyishly grinning Edward wails his guitar like his life depended on it…like a kid with a new toy, he tries to get as many noises out of his instrument as electronically possible. The results are unbelievable.” With his unconventional technique and distinct guitar tone, Eddie Van Halen revolutionized the guitar landscape for generations to come.
It is undeniable that Eddie’s guitar tone and technique are, in themselves, recognizable in any context; when the guitarist was brought in to play for Michael Jackson’s hit song “Beat It,” his solo is instantly identifiable as Eddie Van Halen. But Eddie further distinguishes himself through his songwriting.
As the only guitarist in Van Halen, Eddie spent the band’s early days developing a way to provide both the harmonic foundation and lead guitar parts through his one instrument. Reflecting on the recording of the band’s first album, the guitarist explained: “I remember feeling very uncomfortable with separating my lead and fill parts from my rhythm parts. Onstage, I’d gotten used to doing both simultaneously. I’d just noodle in between chord lines.” With the band’s original material, Eddie’s talent for creating expansive and virtuosic guitar parts is integrated inextricably into the songs. Further, while the guitar is certainly his showpiece instrument, he never forgot the musicianship training of his youth. In 1984, he turned to his keyboard roots, co-writing the #1 hit “Jump” which placed Eddie front and center with his unforgettable synthesizer riff and solo (the song also features a succinct but masterful guitar solo).

Just heard the absolutely horrible, devastating news that our beloved Guitar Genius Eddie Van Halen has passed. We can't contain our tears, such an incredible Artist. He gave my son one of his guitars, it reads ‘To Charlie!! Play It Loud & Drive Your Dad Crazy’. An amazing talent who shaped music forever. R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen. Our prayers are with your family.
😢 RIP Eddie... you changed the world, man
Words cant describe it man. To say he was a legend is an understatement. Rip.....
Freaky you posted this yesterday Warren. Such a shame, another one gone too soon. R.I.P.
it's such a shame :c
He will live forever in his music
The timing on this video has proven to be a fitting tribute. RIP Eddie.
I was thinking the same thing
Media people might've known.... 🤔
Helll yeah
Almost scary this video timing
@@JamesRussoMillas Warren is not a media person. Although he did know Eddie
EDDIE IS ALIVE! Because of his music legacy!
Are you on every single EVH video with this comment?
Agreed Igor! He will love forever with us!!
No he is not alive. He is very much dead. He’s probably already decomposing.
That's not true. Stop being an ass.
Well said. If you can put on something like "I'm the one"
and still think Eddie's spirit is gone, it's prob your spirit that's gone.
Btw, spirits often attach themselves to their photographs & possessions. Naitve Americsns understood this, that's why they never allowed their picture to be taken. Ed's ENTIRE heart & soul is forever imprinted on Van Halen music. Whether you're listening to the tracks or playing it on a guitar, Ed's spirit is there with you.
(Love You Ed! Thanks For All The Joy & Passion You Brought Into My Life. I'll See You In Heaven Big Brother!)
I love the story Eddie told about being in a record store and Beat It came on and two kids were saying listen to this guy trying to sound like Eddie van Halen, and he tapped them on the shoulder and said "it is me." Classic Eddie.
😥 posted 1 day before his death. Rest In Peace.
Same with the Beato video. RIP
@@fakesdeath except Rick went online immediately to cash in on the advertising dollars.
Darlene Sheffield have to assume the worst don’t ya? Seemed like a genuine enough reaction to me, and it was nice to hear some stories of him growing up around it.
There is not a single guitarist I think in this age who doesn't appreciate EVH as a guitarist. Awesome to see you justice to his name!
Agreed 100% my friend!!
@@Producelikeapro Absolutely man!
@@RC32Smiths01 Rest in Peace..
@@Cian._. D: Very sad day for us all...
Yeah I mean his contribution to the evh amp series from peavey Is some legacy, let alone the great guitarist and cool guy he was!
Finally someone who understand Eddie.... Chasing tone... Building guitars... Writing songs.... WRITING SONGS... All around music genius.... That's Eddie...
Thanks ever so much!!
I was a sophomore in high school when the debut came out. Had a bunch of friends that were into music. I mentioned to one of them that I heard this new band called Van Halen. He asked what do they sound like. I said like nothing you’ve ever heard before. Still is. RIP Ed.
Yes, I love this album so much!!
Eddie's rhythm playing is unbelievable.
Yes agreed! So good!!
He’s gone now
Yup, who cares about his tapping. His riffing was incredible because of his brother. This guy is saying Eddie took tapping to another level beyond Allan Holdsworth. Wtf?
@Karson Kalabo that's dumb. Eddie would be pissed. Stop talking.
IT's even more impressive than his lead playing.
I've never felt Eddie gets enough props for his rhythm playing, easily as good as his lead 🤘👍
I love his rhythm playing!!
No kidding! I probably learned more about rhythm guitar playing by listening to Ed than lead playing...well it would be close anyway.
Mark Seitz agreed! He really is the guitar Master!!
@Luke Very good point. It is hard at times to tell where one begins and one ends and that's what is so great about what he does.
His rhythm playing was so tight and free. Shooting from the hip. Not sure he ever played the same thing twice
The timing of this video is insane, miss my dad, his hero, and my hero... rest in power to the both of you
Rest In Peace
Wow! A tribute released 1 day before he died. Just found out 5 mins ago at the time of this comment. One of the true Guitar kings!! RIP EVH!
Yes, huge loss
I watched half of this yesterday. Moments ago I learned he passed today. The rest of this video will have a new meaning now. Rest in peace Edward Van Halen, my childhood hero.
Now is gone... The legend is gone...
R.I.P Eddie 1955-2020
The Man is gone, the Legend takes hold!
OMG, what timing.
I'll always love you Eddie. Rest in peace.
The world just lost one of the greatest to ever walk on it R.I.P Eddie van halen
Yes, one of the greatest of all time!
That beat it solo is so amazing 🔥🔥🔥 Eddie was such a beast... they definitely picked the right guy for that solo
In late '77 we saw Black Sabbath and the opening act was Van Halen. Eddie's playing just knocked me over, it was like an alien had landed. When Sabbath came on, the audience was not having any of Ozzy's drunk shenanigans and piled the chairs in front of the stage and walked off. I ran home and got the first record and my life has never been the same. Eddie made all of the guitarists of the day rethink their approach to guitar playing and the race was on. NO guitar player since then has done half as much for the instrument.
And now just one day later, he's gone. RIP
I also saw them open for Black Sabbath at The Bayfront Center in St Petersburg, FL. . Van Halen blew the roof off the place, just incredible. Black Sabbath came out and was the worst band I've ever seen. They were tuning their guitars during the show for like 20 minutes. Polar opposites. RIP EVH.
There would be no 80s without EVH.
His influence is so pervasive, it's hard to overstate... He truly revolutionized rock music in a way few others have. RIP
Agreed 100%!!
Let's not forget how Eddie bestowed a new kind of rock legitimacy to the synthesizer. People viewed synths differently after Eddie got into them.
Absolutely!! Marvellous point!
Eddie is so fun to watch, it looks like he's having a blast on stage!
Eddie's influence is incalculable - truly sad to hear of his passing (especially after watching this wonderful reminder of his greatness).
RIP Eddie - never equalled 🔥
R.I.P. Eddie, Thank YOU for all the music & memories...
What incredible timing for a video...
RIP EVH
I remember Frank Zappa publicly thanking Eddie for "re-inventing the guitar".
That's amazing to hear!!

THiS Great video had me in tears! Extremely heartfelt & complete.
Thank you and Jamie for your work and efforts.
At 14 yrs old i rode 30 miles to buy the 1st album on my pushbike, 43 yrs later i still think of Eddie van Halen beginning Eruption when i get on any bike.
I cried all day when he died. He changed many lives forever and not just the Musoes.
Wow! Thanks ever so much for your wonderful comment
Eddie's rhythm playing and specially his PHRASING AND SWING are absolutely unmatched when you compare him to his contemporaries. I mean, when you hear a solo like the one one Bottom's Up, it's clear he focused on his phrasing as much as the flashy technical stuff when he was wood shedding. Love Ed.
Yes yes yes! His outrageously superb rhythm playing isn't talked about enough. Phrasing and swing indeed, so punchy, fluid and inventive along with that tone of the Gods=unmatched!
Been trying to tell ppl that for years! Lead playing and phrasing from another universe AND rhytmn playing from the grooviest-in-the-pocket place which cannot be earthly. Dear God!!! Try to replicate his groove like on So This Is Love...many have come close..but NONE have matched it.
THANK YOU!!! So true and such an under-appreciated aspect of his playing.
Ahhh...the solo to “push comes to shove”...!!!!!
@David Cavalier Completely on point, there are places in the solo from "House of Pain" that are like Coltrane, very horn-like. I like the solo on "Somebody Get Me a Doctor", too, funky funky swingin', shaken not stirred!
Wow, he just passed away. What a time for this video to come out. Rest in Peace Eddie
R.I.P. Eddie. You were a musical genius the world will truly miss. Thank you for all the great music and inspiration!
Someone on here mentioned the Black Sabbath show. Yep I was in high school saw Black Sabbath at Richfield coliseum / opening band Van Halen. I just started playing guitar. Thanks to Angus. Then I saw the opening band for black sabbath . I couldn’t speak for an hour. Mind blown away. Next day was at music store trying to buy a black and white striped guitar. Salesman had no clue what I was describing. I was describing the future. Awesome episode btw Warren !
I saw them in Madison Square Garden when Sabbath finally came on, a riot ensued, Sabbath only played 3 songs. The second night went a little better, but Eddie reigned supreme.
What a great story--- trying to buy the black and white striped guitar!
@@Marcus_C51 I was pointing to the humbucker on an SG and a strat / told him it was probably a new fender model , we went thru a catalog thick as a bible no use / so after that first cover story in Guitar Player magazine / it all made sense
'I was describing the future' well said
Its amazing how so many extremely talented guitarists still miss the nuances of Eddie's playing when copying him.
The "I'm the one" tutorial in this video completely misses the whole swing feel of the song. How can you get all those notes right, get so many of the riff parts right, but still miss this? Its the most important part. Its the whole feel of the song.
Ground breaking guitar solos and techniques, amazing rhythm playing, multi instrumentalist, great backup vocals, showmanship.......Eddie Van Halen had it all. EVH’s guitar playing is legendary and will live on forever. RIP Guitar God.
R.I.P Eddie Van Halen one of the best Guitarists we have ever seen if not the best. You will never be forgetten my friend. Van Halen is one of my favorite bands. How could this year get any worse.
True guitar genius!
one of the greatest probably top 5?

I was all set to write a comment about what an OUTSTANDING video this is, and I read the news. Warren and Jamie you made the video I have had in my head for years about what needed to be said about Eddie and how he changed everything regarding guitars. I knew this day would come one day in my lifetime ('cos I'm 49) but this is a sad, sad moment. I LOVE EDDIE VAN HALEN - RIP you crazy, crazy dude!
jsnowdendavies thank you for the comment.. I’m sitting here reading the comments. I can’t believe we’ve lost him. R.I.P Ed
I don’t see it as a loss. He left us with a legacy of great music, concert memories and great gear to enjoy for the rest of our lives and now he’s free from his body which no longer served him. Thank you so much Eddie and thank you Warren for posting this video yesterday - your timing was impeccable.
RIP Ed This cuts deep
Terrible loss
Unfortunatelty Eddie Van Halen has now died. I am glad you got to give tribute before it happened Warren, but I am devastated that a hero has gone.
People forget sometimes how good a songwriter Eddie is. Great vid Warren🎸🎹🎼
Agreed Ryan! He's such an amazing writer!!
Jimi Hendrix and Eddie van Halen are by far the two most influential guitarists who really changed the Guitar and Rockmusic landscape!! these two true Legends will never really die , their legacy is so enourmous and so incredibly important to the world of Pop music , that they will never be forgotten!!! R.I.P. to my two heroes , with utter love and respect!!.........................
Rest in Rock and Roll, legend. You will be missed Eddie. 🙏🏼
Omg I was just watching this in the morning and now he's gone, RIP Eddie, the best. :(
RIP eddie van halen 26 January 1955 - 6 October 2020
cant believe he passed the day after you made this
he will live forever in his music
This Videos timing is unbelievable... News just broke of Eddie passing away today from Cancer.
He was 65..and a legend. RIP Van Halen
I was at the Cleveland show on their first tour to America. It started with Eddie running out on stage riffing. I had never seen/heard anything like it. I was so dumb founded that I actually said to the guy next to me, "He's actually playing that! Everyone was stunned by the new way to play the guitar. It was like seeing history in the making.
Holy crap the timing of this video makes it all the more potent . RIP EDDIE ❤️
Thanks for a great video Warren and Jamie. I’ve known Jamie a very long time and he is perfect for this video and what an amazing job he did. Thanks guys. Eddie Van Halen will never be bettered in this century in his field, of that I am certain. RIP EVH 😞
That timing is eerie.
Eddi, you are the guitarist that inspired me. Thanks for all. RIP Eddie, the guitarist that most changed the music
I agree. Terrible terrible news
Sorry produced by a pro most they say that changed music ridiculous statement so many artist have been credited 4 that
Wow, crazy that you posted this just yesterday. RIP Eddie🤘🖤
Your summary of Eddie‘s work is good. It would make Eddie proud and he‘d love to see his legacy treasured like this. Amen.
Thanks ever so much my friend!
Marvelous tribute and mind-blowing tutorial. I played a little bit of Eddie when my son Gabe and nephew Chad were teenagers trying to learn his stuff, mostly the rhythm parts. The leads were so far away from my style that I didn't even try. But, Gabe could play Eruption! Eddie went to places where most buses don't run. He was as unique and influential as any musician in any genre ever! Thanks for sharing a bit a his history and music!
Ken Bennett thanks buddy!,
Eddie a true innovator, genius and legend.
RIP
Agreed 100%!
Eddie is why I started playing guitar. He is the reason I practiced like crazy. All the ups and downs of guitarists I love, Eddie is always at the top. I don’t really play that style of music anymore but when I hear one of their songs or plug into my 5150 it just puts a crazy, unbreakable smile on my face. God bless that guitar god.
How different Music would've been if Alex hadn't arrived home early that "infamous" day and started playing on Eddie's drum kit! : )
I haven't followed Van Halen closely enough to know the story and I can't find it now searching for it. Mind sharing?
@Randy Rodes Ah ok. I didn't know what to search for to find it. Thanks!
To understand the influence of EVH on guitar you have to look no further than the fact that after more than 40 years, guitarists the world over are still analyzing his innovative techniques.
Absolutely! What a master he is!!
Listened to a few songs on my home from work. I was tearing up and smiling at the same time. Eddie’s playing was a major part of my life growing up. 1990 or ‘91 was when I first heard Van Halen, 12 or 13 years old. I was hooked and still am and always will be. Thank you Eddie for bringing some fuckin crazy, amazing, unforgettable music not just in my life. But to the world! You’ll be truly be missed. 🤟🏼
Eddie's passing hit hard. VH was the soundtrack of my youth and still one of my favorite bands.
Just discovered this great channel. I can watch this stuff all day. Great content!
Thanks ever so much!! Yes, incredibly sad news about Eddie!
Thanks for this tribute! RIP Eddie, you'll be always in my soul!!!
You posted this the last day of his life guys. Pretty humbled is the vibe today RIP EVH Blessings and Thank You for all the great fun. You made a mark so high itll never be rematched Peace to you and your family . Cheers God bless
So impressed with how you guys were able to put this together so quickly and so concisely. Well done.
We actually took around 2 weeks to do it and released it the day before Eddie died.
He took the guitar beyond its limits!!!He changed the way we understand the instrument forever!!! The greatest!!!
RIP Eddie! One of the most influential and innovative guitar players
EVH was the first guitarist, whose name I knew. And 1984 was among the first albums I bought as a teenager. Thank you for those video! Love it!
Thanks ever so much Jürgen!
That’s crazy that you just posted this yesterday, and today Eddie Van Halen passed away
RIP to one of the greatest guitarists in rock
I think many insiders have heard his health was deteriorating or something, because I've stumbled upon a couple new EVH videos just the day before he passed away
RODRIGO ODÓN SALCEDO CISNEROS yeah he was sick with cancer so his time was coming. But damn to actually hear the news and for it to finally be true is sad
I saw this video yesterday and I loved every minute of it. I cheered out loud! Today I'm watching it with tears. We will miss you Eddie, what's more we will never forget you.
Damn, this was released yesterday? RIP to one of the greats.
One day later, he passes away. Rest in Peace Eddie! 🤘🏼🔥❤️
R.I.P. Eddie. Heard it right after watching this. At loss for words.
rest in piece, my dad would always play this man when i was little, he was my childhood rock band.
This Episode was absolutely outstanding Warren!! Right On and Thank You!!! Rest in Peace Edward, We all Love You so much!!
🥺🥺🥺 Rest In Peace Eddie 💔
I really love these stories of EVH's growth and how he changed the musical landscape (and created a whole new generation of musicians to boot)! Thanks for putting this together. My mind was blown away for months after hearing him initially - was unlike anything I heard sonically/musically.
Thanks ever so much. Yes, terrible news indeed
R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen. Thank you for the music and the inspiration.
What timing!!
Rest in Power Eddie
Hey. this comment is for Warrent, and jamie. Warrent i liked how you hosted and reported on Eddie, and a gave the full picture of his musical uniqueness, life, music and achievements all along his way! And Jamie, i thought your playing and sound was really very good too! ( wanted to mention though, that Eddie did not read music, know theory, or know scales, chords, or modes at all!! and infact played everything by ear! ) Great job and great tribute! Thank you ~ Cheers!
It’s amazing you just released this yesterday, Warren. I agree with every point, Eddie was a guitar god. R.I.P.
I can't believe this was only released 1 day ago and Eddie just passed away today. RIP you legend
The man was an absolute legend. One of the all time greats. R.I.P. Eddie. You will be sadly missed but never forgotten.
Honestly? I don't think anyone can describe the influence Eddie had on music. It's just so vast.
Agreed! Huge
Did you seriously post this just before his passing? Wow very fitting and amazing tribute as others have said. RIP EVH, I have always loved guitar because of you, and your tone is thing of legends!
Rest in piece to an absolute legend. I grew up to his music and listen to him regularly. His soul will live on for eternity through his music!
Loved this video! Eddie left an amazing legacy for so many people. RIP EVH!
I agree, a true Master!
Dear Warren,
Van Halen passed away today. The sad news has just been reported on national television in the Netherlands. R.I.P Eddie.
Yes, so sad. He was an amazing talent, incredible man and he will be so missed!
Marvellous tribute to the greatest rock guitarist EVER, Edward Van Halen!!!! Thank you all loads for the incredible video!! God bless you!
Thanks ever so much!
The timing of this video, the timing of recent reminiscing about my days first starting on guitar to "live without a net" and watching Eddie incessantly every day while I picked up my passion....It all hurts a lot but seeing how much he meant to everyone is beautiful. A legend, and a hero of ours. Eddie Van Halen
I saw this pop up in my feed yesterday, and I was planning to watch it tonight after I got out of work. It's really a bummer now that he's passed away.
And now Eddie is on the next stage, thanks for your music and inventions Edward Van Halen!
Go jamie! 🤘🎸🔥 Great video Warren! Massive Van Halen fan! * Gutted he’s gone 😢💔

@@unknowncomic3919 I just found out. Numb. As if I was punched in the guts. :-(
RIP EVH any kid who aspired to play guitar in a rock band in the late 70s/early 80s could not help but be inspired by you, your music and your insane talent
Perfect timing for this, RIP Eddie
The thing I remember the most about Eddie Van Halen was his humility. In an interview, he admitted that Alan Holdsworth was the best guitar player of all, and then went on to help him sign with Warner Brothers for the IOU album, thus lifting Holdsworth out of obscurity. I will always remember this! Thank you, EVH, I salute you my brother!
RIP Eddie and thank you for all the years of great music. You will be missed.
And just remember kid's, this guy was doing this 40 years ago... put that in your head and get smoked !!!!!!! My brother put a set of headphones on me in 1978, and when Eddie Van Halen came in after the intro to " Runnin with the Devil " I got goosebumps, and adrenaline started racing through my veins. I wanted to become a singer, like He made that guitar sing . My condolences to the world for their loss, including the ones that don't even know it.
im glad to have been alive during Eddies life to experience his always happy way of presenting his skills to the world
very nice tribute to a legend in his field cheers Warren
Thanks ever so much
Eddie is beyond amazing! Beyond, beyond amazing and so is this channel. Thank you Warren⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Wow!! Thanks ever so much my friend!!
I remember back in the day ALL musicians be it classical, jazzers, country players taking notice. No one could do what he was doing.
RIP to the King. Hearing Eddie rip through solos brings me to tears
Wow, Warren. You posted this the day before Ed passed. What a legend. Thank you for this. His legend lives on! Thanks for everything EVH, RIP.
Still can’t believe that he’s gone. RIP EVH 😔
A day after this video he passed away... rest in peace.
