High school kid in the year 2025 nails a live Ed Van Halen solo? Hell yeah!

I was 16 when Van Halen 1 was released. It does my heart good to see that Ed's body of work is admired by so many young musicians and young non musicians as well.

That was awesome...... and word for word pretty much what I was going to post. I was 17. . Within a year or 2 back then , kids were playing Eruption, Spanish Fly etc in talent shows, and we didn't have tabs or internet. Definitely does the heart good to see kids today still appreciating the classic great, innovative, talented EVH styles!

Back in 1986 I was 16 and in a band with my older brother who was well known kick ass drummer and we played Van Halen Sinner's Swing(correction: The Full Bug) and then I played Eruption for the School Talent show I was pretty good in those days and practiced alot so I can appreciate a young kid that put's in the time to play well.

My brother did say Bite Your ASS in the song breakdown from the lyrics when he wasn't supposed to via the school censors but he was out of school already so what could they do to him........:LOL:

The guy who played bass for me was another guitar player that I knew and he played the Quiet Riot solo Battle Axe by Carlos Cavazo and the Randy Rhodes live solo. He was a good player as well.

My fellow students roared with appreciation when he said" Got a bad little woman gonna bite yo ASSSSSSSSSS!" My brother the drummer sang the song, I just concentrated on not fucking up in front of all my peers.

Now that I think about it the entire song is totally sexual................lucky I didn't go to a Catholic school! The Penguins would have beaten me to death with wescott ruler...............:hys::p


The Full Bug lyrics...................

Intro]
Ohhh, aww, yeah, ohh
I'll tell ya now
You corner my dog
It don't let you past
Got a bad lil' woman
Gon' bite yo' ass
Yeah, won't let you past

Ah, yeah! Whooo!
Wah!

Ah, precious sweetheart
Woman, all you want is good as it can get
Oh yeah!
An inspiration
Girl, you're sensational
And this gets better yet
Ah yeah!

(Ah) Well, all your dreams of riches
Are based on magazines
(Ah) No, this ain't television
But it's more than it seems
(Ah) 'Take those', 'need' and 'give all'
This much you understand
All I wanna give you, woman (Oh)
Is the best part of a man, yeah

And yet he can smoke you on your best day with the wind to your back 😂
45 years ago it mattered far less than it does today. I’m glad to see a kid who still practices guitar rather than play video games all day, good for him 👍

Right. You don't have to like the kid. You don't have to like EVH. You don't have to like the fact that he took the time to learn some complex material almost note for note. But dang if I'm not happy that a 16 year old wants to learn some classic rock stuff and then get on a stage and play it in front of his high school peers. :dunno:

And I remember when guys were begging him to return to RT. Be careful what you wish for

Just asking here. Who was that exactly?
 
Crowd doesn't even understand what they're hearing.

I wish guitar was as culturally influential as it was in the 70s & 80s.

Sorry. No, I was asking what guys were begging CharvelDan to return? When he left, he didn't have a lot of friends here IIRC. I'm sure he is a cool dude in real life :dunno:

I can’t remember who it was. I just remember a thread got started saying CharvelDan, where are you? Then he magically appeared agreeing to come back under certain conditions.
