Eddie Van Halen Dies Of Cancer Aged 65 by naptu2: 3:48am On Oct 07, 2020 |
I watched a documentary in the early 2000s in which he said that he was invited to play on Michael Jackson's song and along the line Michael asked him how much he wanted to be paid. He replied, "How much?? I'll play for free!" He just loved playing. However, it caused some friction in the band because he didn't tell the rest of the group before playing on the song. He said that he didn't think that it was a big deal and he had thought, "Who would know if I play on this kid's song"? Eddie Van Halen has died.

The guitar solo begins at the 3:07 minute mark. The way that he made the guitar sound like a door being opened and the thing that he did at the end of the solo are just phenomenal.

Van Halen was one of the biggest rock bands of the 1980s and this was one of their biggest hits. The instrumental version of this song was used in many TV shows in the 1980s and 1990s and it was also used in WWF wrestling. It is still used in football and it is played before every home game by Olympique Marseille and Brondby. It is also played anytime AC Milan scores a goal at the San Siro. Segun Odegbami used it as the signature tune of his Serie A show in 1989. Van Halen - Jump (1983). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwYN7mTi6HM 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Wow. Actually thought the dude who played the guitar in Michael Jackson's beat it is Slash, never knew it's this guy. Frankly I've never even heard of him until now. Always thought Slash of Guns and Roses played for Michael Jackson. There's Dirty Diana, Give In To Me, Come Together and the likes. Nice to know this anyway. Rest In Peace to him. 35 Likes 2 Shares |

joseph1832: Slash played the solo on DS and he also played on the video of Black or White (it was actually slash that played the riff that Macaulay Culkin was dancing to at the beginning of the video). I often compare Eddie Van Halen's solo on Beat It and Slash's solo on DS, but I can't decide which I prefer. Slash also played on Give In To Me, but it was a different guitarist on Dirty Diana. Van Halen were very popular in the 1980s and early 1990s 24 Likes 3 Shares |

They were originally going to interview him about a Guns N Roses pinball machine, but Eddie Van Halen has just died and so the interview ended up being about Eddie. Here is Slash talking about Eddie Van Halen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDnv3FXeOKM 1 Like 1 Share |

naptu2:Yikes. I use to believe Slash was the person who played the guitar in all Michael Jackson's songs. Even his live performance. There was his 30th anniversary celebration where Slash literally killed every song he played his guitar, especially the song before Billie Jean. I often compare Eddie Van Halen's solo on Beat It and Slash's solo on DS, but I can't decide which I prefer.For me I believe Slash's solo on Give In To Me trumps it all. I didn't even think there's another Guitarist who's better than Slash. To me the person who came close is Steve Vai. Whoever the guitarist is that played on Dirty Diana deserves a vacation in Heaven. Van Halen were very popular in the 1980s and early 1990sI was just a kid then. Never heard of the group before and didn't even know he existed until your thread. Now I know. Nuff respect to Eddie Van Halen. Dude really rocks. 8 Likes 2 Shares |
