This is an old Patreon early access video released around the time of Eddie's passing as a tribute fyi guys. Enjoy!
-
Let’s also remember Alex’s drums. One of the most under appreciated drummers in rock and I think equally as important to the VH sound
-
Don't sleep on the bass player, Michael Anthony, either. He's always holding down the bottom end and providing all those high harmonies and backup vocals
-
Eddie's rythym playing often times gets over looked. We all know he could shred, but he was an incredible rythym player too.
-
Fair Warning is one of the greatest hard rock/metal albums ever made. Not a bad song on the entire record.
-
EVH was an innovator and shredder but his rhythm playing was second to none. You need to see him live. No one had more joy playing. It’s infectious. Thanks for keeping his music alive.
-
They was all killing it on this track. The bass was thumping big time.
-
The out solo in this song may be Eddie’s best ever. Nearly 40 years later, it still raises the hair on the back of my neck. Plus I love the lyrics, the lyrics in the body of the song seem to be spoken and have a rap vibe to it where they’re singing the chorus. This song is nasty and dark, I love it. Fair Warning is the DLR era best album.
-
As a guitar player myself it wasn't just Eddies incredible note choices that blew me away, it was also the spaces he put between them. His timing and rhythm was off the charts amazing
-
The shredding is one thing but Eddie was the king of Rhythm Riffs. Those rhythm riffs are amazing.
-
Theres a saying that goes about Eddie's rhythm playing - "no one swings like the king"
-
Roth is highly underrated as a lyricist. FAIR WARNING seems to be the favorite VH album of many musicians. It’s certainly their darkest album. A real masterpiece.
-
Met Eddie around ‘96. I worked at a music store and got called to bring an amp to a club in Boston for a pre-gig show. He was the nicest guy ever. I stood there and watched him set up the amp. He was the reason I had long hair, worked at a music store, played guitar and moved to Hollywood to Boston. Surreal. He remembered my name when I left. RIP.
-
Ah man can you please do a VH marathon!? There are so many other tracks to check out to do them justice. Im the one, ice cream man, fools, cathedral, unchained, Spanish fly, and of course Eruption! The list goes on....
-
The drummer there gents is Alex Van Halen, Eddie's brother. Definitely a seriously underrated drummer.
-
Eddie VanHalen was definitely a prodigy, but his brother Alex VanHalen, has been overlooked. He did the same thing with drums. Creating different sized drum shells by combining them together in ways nobody has done and nobody has used besides him.
-
My favorite riff from EVH is still from the song, “Drop Dead Legs”. It just flows so well. You guys have to check that one out. It’s a less popular song, but one of my absolute faves.
-
The best follow up to this would be “unchained”. Their catalog is so good you almost can’t go wrong no matter what you pick.
-
ALEX VAN HALEN (drummer for VH) needs to be in any conversation about his brother, they were one. Do yourselves a favor and play this album from beginning to end, it's a game changer.
-
FYI guys. Eddie was the humblest guy on the planet! The drummer is his brother, Alex Van Halen! Eddie called it the brown sound. RIP King Edward!!! Love you!! Thanks for reviewing this song and for reviewing Van Halen.
