Raise a glass to Eddie Van Halen, folks. Stamp your tables and feet, ladies and germs. That man was a _legend_ in every sense of the word. His contributions to music will be talked about hundreds of years from now. BitHead - what an *amazing* tribute, brother. The amount of flat-out _cool shit_ on that Nintend'a just floors me. Every detail a nod to the great Eddie Van Halen. I can tell you really poured your heart into this. Standing ovation for this one. You knocked it out of the park.
The Rush Members and Eddie Money are still my favorite rock guys in the world as well, too bad two of them passed away, while the other Rush members continue to be alive to this very day.
Brother I'm speechless, Ive been a fan since I was 9, Im 50 now. Right down to the 1971 quarter. Jesse pure class my friend. Ed would be proud. Rock on brother. Love ya.
@@BitHead1000 I built a Franken Strat replica on a piece of crap strat a friend gave me 10 years ago, lol it took me forever to find a 71 quarter now I cant find it. I"ll send you a pic of it. It actually works I just gonna hang it on the wall. Love to hear your story on it.
Bithead 1000 the "evil" genius. I don't smoke but that ash tray sure brought back a feeling of nostalgia. I use to sit there in my grandpa's 73 Impala flipping the lid back and forth waiting for him to finish getting gas or some quick groceries. A kid learned to occupy himself with the simple things back then even if it was just for a few minutes. No handhelds. No smartphones. I sometimes miss those simple days.
This thing sums up bithead1000 perfectly. If you had set a jack and coke on top, I'd say it's everything you love in life. Cheers Jesse on another awesome build.
Holy shit...If this doesn't end up sitting on top of an amp, with at least two cigarette burns, next to a midrange tv with far less value I am going to lose a little more faith in the world. Absolutely beautiful. I have no doubt that the gods of rock are pleased with your tribute to Mr. Lodewijk.
Damn I was just saying congrats on 30k like a month ago, 35k here we come baby! But gosh hearing the beginning part of eruption live at the end of the video made me tear up, I can see him clearly playing that on stage smoking and smiling and having fun. Definitely the coolest one you’ve made yet, this has got to be your personal nes, no Patreon give always of this bad boy.
You are a fucking mad man!!! Love your customs bro. He will be pleased to see this creation and I'm sure he would've signed it. Rock on In Peace Eddie!!!
Officer Callaghan. We got a 5150 here. Requesting backup to deal with the greatest fucking Nintendo in the history of human civilisation!!!!! Eddie would be proud dude. Great job and thank you for countless hours of fantastic viewing
These just keep getting better and better. In a decade or so, you’ll be able to open your own museum dedicated to yourself! Seriously, the thought that went into this and the place it came from really shows in your work. A little ray of sunshine born out of a tragic end.
These channel needs to blow up!! Amazing idea. you should probably consider getting to business to making custom consoles for people on their individual necessities.
Again, why these videos don't get millions of views just boggles my mind. The best to ever do it right here folks! Keep up the amazing work Bithead, you're a treasure! 👍👍
@@danmac0 People still gotta hit the subscribe button at the end of the day. Those videos definitely got him some exposure, but people that have watched those videos may have subscribed already because they didn’t know that 98% of the rest of his videos are hour long monologues about life through the lens of BitHead1000 which we all love... but might turn of a hyper sensitive college aged person that fits themselves into a half a dozen advocacy categories and is also a little light on medication. That person might have signed up to see mod videos, and when they saw the next new video would unsubscribe 25 seconds in and subsequently cried into their waifu pillow.
@@PabstOban I'm not on any social media platforms but I sure as hell send my buddies who definitely would appreciate his work via text messages links....maybe that's the problem? 🤷♂️
Two things I have loved so much come together. I kept saying to myself “if he pulls out a dart a smokes it at the end it would be epic”. Thanks for the great video. I’m going to miss Eddie so much but we will always have his music.
ive heard you say on the show that these videos dont get no views. i just wanna say that i love em! theyre intresting and relaxing and creative, and they deserve more viewis. RIP Eddie Van Halen
what a tribute, Jesse. I was really blown away by this build. Van Halen is one of my favourite bands of all time. I was introduced to them by a buddy of mine around Christmas time in the early 80’s and I asked my parents for some casettes of the band and they came through with Van Halens first album. I played it constantly and wore the damn thing out. Eddie’s guitar playing has entertained and moved me greatly over the years and I was so sad to hear of his passing, especially since I had no idea he was sick (fuck Cancer). Everything about this build is just perfect. It brought a genuine smile to my face. Thank you.
Eddie was my hero growing up. I tried to copy everything he played. I was born in 1984, so I felt like it was some kind of omen. It hurt when I heard he died. Can't believe he's really gone. This is an outstanding tribute. I love all the little details with the '71 quarter and the reflectors and tuners. Incredible. Then lighting the smoke at the end...I had to subscribe. Thank you for this!!!
Wow....what is there to say? An absolute tribute to one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Absolutely beautiful Bithead!!! Another Bithead masterpiece!!!
The only way i found bithead a few years ago was because the video said 40oz and NES! I was like really..thats what I do! Im in! Love this channel, love the rants, its all real, im a huge classic rock and rap fan, im a carpenter so i build shit, its perfect, love the channel yessie
As soon as I seen this finished ERUPTION popped in my head! U are a true master of your craft and what u create are masterpieces!! Best NES ever!!! RIP... Eddie Van Halen...
Omg!! You really out did yourself with this one Jesse. I'm completely speechless. You truly are a innovative genius. The guitar strings were a nice little touch.. You've inspired me to start my own little projects in the shed, and I'd like to thank you for that. It keeps me and my brain busy. TY
You sir are the Greatest!!! Still remember seeing the 1984 album cover for the first time back then and thinking how crazy cool it was! That and the Beastie Boys License to Ill Album cover in 86. Lol
Did anyone else notice the twig and berries on the controller color code "data" sheet? Ol' BH1K sneakin' in a fast one on us. Now, back to our previously scheduled program.
@@kobakusu Ya I remember seeing it in a previous episode. Thinking back, it was prob the same piece of paper he used the first time, and used it for the controller drawings.
Just amazing work this. Absolutely love these custom builds. I need to get my workshop sorted as these videos inspire me every time I watch them. An amazing tribute to a legend. Great work Jesse! Had to share this, as these videos need to be seen by as many people as possible.
Awesome build. RIP Eddie.
I clicked the like button immediately after the cigerette lighter and the Camero ashtray. Pure Gold!
Mindblowing! A worthy tribute to EVH!
so glad i found Bithead. love this dude.
Amazing! I'm glad you've made a matching controller!
I'll say it again - this is your best one yet.
I'll second that Chris.
Been watching a lot of your content lately too Chris. You and Jesse have great channels.
Agreed!
Even your comment has good diction!
Ahahahaha!
According to GamePro celebrity gamers issue, Eddie used to take an NES on the road with him. This is a true masterpiece dedicated to a true master.
For a good half of the video, i thought the cigarette lighter was for show, but that has to be one one of the coolest nes builds i’ve ever seen!

I picked up a guitar because of Eddie. I'm still crushed by us losing him.
I actually cried when he passed away.

Ain't gonna lie, I got a little emotional on this one.
What a masterpiece!
I do realize what I just watched. The greatest Nintendo Built in the history of human civilization. With a 4K face. And I god damn believe that.
Tremendous effort mate 👍
Man that's fucking awesome Frankenstein it just like Van Halen did to his guitars! That's so good what a tribute!!!
Outstanding. An artisan and an artist now. Love the idea of the painters tape to create the pattern. Worthy of the legend himself. 🤘

What's not to love about this? Absolutely awesome! 👏
Congrats on your PS2 vid blowing up. It's on pace to shatter the original NES build view count.
😍NICE!!! This build was the Best one yet! A wonderful tribute to Eddie Van Halen🌹
Very nice work ! Now that is a Nes console. 😎
Lol I love it the metal shielding, who needs it?
Another incredible build. Well done Mr. BITHEAD 1000. R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen
These channel needs to blow up!! Amazing idea. you should probably consider getting to business to making custom consoles for people on their individual necessities.
Playing Van Halen 1 over this video improves the experience exponentially. Also, I love the cigarette and pick guard accents. Great job.
Again, why these videos don't get millions of views just boggles my mind. The best to ever do it right here folks! Keep up the amazing work Bithead, you're a treasure! 👍👍
He has 1 video with 1.2 Million views and another almost at 1M

Once again, a masterpeiece of engineering. Bravo Jesse!!
Wow you sir are a creative genius! Awesome build! Your creativity is inspiring! The lighter and ashtray built in is legendary!
I’m speechless. That is so beautiful I could cry.
This is so cool, good job bithead 🤙🏻
Wow...you are such master content creator. Thank you for making this bithead. Cheers brother. 🍺🤘🍺
Yes... The masking alone made my nether region moist!
Bro, your creativity doesn’t have limits. Astonishing piece of art and great tribute to Eddie
That is the most ingenious method of keeping the case closed that I have ever seen.
It works really well too. That sucker is locked down.
Jesse, man... You've outdone yourself again! A masterwork & touching tribute to Eddie. Great, great job!
I don't even know what to say. Bithead1000 isn't who we deserve, but he's certainly who we need.
This is much more than a console mod, this is a functional piece of modern art. And you *better* believe that.
Eddie would have been proud! The Frankentendo looks amazing RIP, Eddie!
I was waiting for Bithead to slide in a bootleg homebrew NES Guitar Hero cart at the end and jam. If that's not a thing, it should be.
The greatest custom NES build in the history of human civilisation. And you better believe that!

Van Halen put those reflectors at backside of his guitar in a triangle formation, so he can shoot prisms of light back at the audience. Nice tribute.
These just keep on getting better and better!
This might be my favorite one yet. I love how you used the different guitar parts, using the tuners and strings to secure the thing was a cool touch.
I don't even care for Van Halen's music, I hate smoking, and this is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen.
Nailed It! Right down to the 71 quarter and reflectors. Long Island Leonardo DaVinci.

Beautiful ode to an amazing guitarist.
You outdid yourself this time. Best one yet!!!!!
What a great tribute to Eddie Van Halen. RIP.
Wow. Just wow. Best NES yet. Amazing.
Bithead is an absolute genius. Absolutely amazing!!!
Great tribute. Forgot all about the controller....then at the end it comes into view.
One legend paying homage to another...Bravo, Sir.
Now that is a beautiful machine. Excellent work, Bithead!
The GREATEST video game show in the history of human civilization!!! And you better believe that!!
This is the single best non-guitar tribute to Eddie I've seen yet. AMAZING JOB. RIP EVH.
awesome tribute!!
Eddie would be proud for sure!!!! RIP Eddie Van Halen
Wow....what is there to say? An absolute tribute to one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Absolutely beautiful Bithead!!! Another Bithead masterpiece!!!
Eddie would be proud!
The only way i found bithead a few years ago was because the video said 40oz and NES! I was like really..thats what I do! Im in! Love this channel, love the rants, its all real, im a huge classic rock and rap fan, im a carpenter so i build shit, its perfect, love the channel yessie
We don’t deserve you Bithead. This is incredible.
Nice. Paint detail, is very exact. 4 ports controller, sweet.
You are a master of creativity!
The guitar strings really sealed the deal. Just like Eddie would have wanted it. 🎸
As soon as I seen this finished ERUPTION popped in my head! U are a true master of your craft and what u create are masterpieces!! Best NES ever!!! RIP... Eddie Van Halen...
What a tribute. Awesome job 🤟🏻
that nintendo is going to get the true smoker's yellow treatment :)
Van Halen rocks and so does this mod.
You have the coolest creations...

It’s great to hear that... thank you!
You have a beautiful mind Sir.
You are seriously talented, Bithead. And you better believe that.
I want this so bad. I will actually use that ash tray. Wonderful and functional.
Coolest Nintendo Entertainment System of all time! The details man! Love everything about it!
I didn't know I needed this in my life 😍 great vid dude
Eddie would be so proud of this. As always your videos are amazing and can’t wait to see your next video.
You are an American Original. I'm jealous Yezzie but I'm genuinely impressed.
You sir are the Greatest!!! Still remember seeing the 1984 album cover for the first time back then and thinking how crazy cool it was! That and the Beastie Boys License to Ill Album cover in 86. Lol

It was his recreation of his son's chicken drawing
@@kobakusu Ya I remember seeing it in a previous episode. Thinking back, it was prob the same piece of paper he used the first time, and used it for the controller drawings.
That is so badass R.I.P Eddie!!!
I always loved the video of the live version of unchained...so powerful and it never gets old. My hat is off to all your creations
Touching end, I really felt that. Love the matching controller too. 🤘
How some of these builds don't have millions of views is criminal.
Nice work! Love the guitar strings idea.
Badass !! RIP EDDIE!!
