... That... Eddie Van Halen at :50... that... that... talent...

Guns turn you boys into pussies, sex chAAAAAAAAAANGE

GOSH RAP SUX

That's not Eddie Van Halen.

This is Eddie Van Halen.

I couldn't hear any sound coming from his guitar :/

I only read the preview of this thread and thought Eddie Van Halen had commited suicide. Phew!

Isn't that the point?

Also, EVH is yawn.

I kept thinking that Lil Wayne was Kanye West..AH YALL LOOK ALIKE

RAPS THE WORST EVER

MC MB = WORST

just wait til u hear my track with akon its gunna rok

whoa whoa whoa you mean van halen isn't black?

Same here.

Aren't you glad he's not black?

What does this even mean?

Well you see, it's funny because Lil Wayne is a RAPPER so clearly he shouldnt be playing guitar. The joke here is that he's most definitely not Eddie Van Halen. GET IT???

Watching Van Halen play is seriously awesome, but at the same time is sort of depressing when I think about trying to learn to play as well. On the other hand, I bet I could play better than Lil Wayne at least.

Can someone musically savvy explain why Van Halen would play on the neck of the guitar sometimes instead?

The finger tapping you mean? It's basically a way to create a set of notes with no silence between each note. The fancypants term for it is legato.

Finger tapping also lets you get a wider range of notes than normally possible with just picking. For example you could have one finger tapping the second fret while your other hand is tapping the 17th.

It helps a bit when the instrument you're using is audible is some form or fashion.

blame the guitar tech or the idiot running the sound board

I bet it was intentional, because if you could have heard it, it would have sounded terrible, like everything else that emanates from Lil Wayne.

You obviously haven't seen him do his party trick when he farts Old Man River.

No one's to blame, he can't play, so they just leave him unplugged on purpose...


The times they actually decide to plug him in though... my god...

how dare he attempt to incorporate a guitar!

Maybe this will make you feel better:

It's more depressing that that sounded like every Bush song ever.

Why is the audience cheering? He shouldn't be celebrated, he should be punished.

I know nobody here likes rap but please, please don't think Lil' Wayne is the best rap has to offer.

One of my favorite songs. Fat albino FTW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO18F4aKGzQ

Agreed. I still own a copy of Razorblade Suitcase, and I will fight anyone who claims the guitar on it is no better than this. :p

I listen to eazy-e

Really though I came to this thread to bash Eddie van halen. I was going to allude to me tapping a guitar with my wiener and ending in saying that he is overrated and Jimmy Page is better (which he is).

Yet, I had no idea that I would be confronted with Fred eating a jizzed on biscuit Durst. I hate that guy more than I hate Canadians. How was that ever considered music? Its all because of rap. That's my scapegoat. Africa. Home and birthplace of lil wayne (needs citation). I am indignant to find how many teenage white girls love this abomination of a human. He looks like a black phantom of the oprah, that had endured prison rape.

How dare I poke fun at Eddie van halen (I still like the first cd anyway), when there are abortions in music such as this. I hate so much music its not even funny. That's why you stick with classics. I like Pink Floyd, The Doors, Zeppelin, Johnny Cash, Vaguer, Die Fledermaus, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, hell i even like 30's and 40's show-tunes! The only new music I like are bands like Say Anything and Brand New, yet everything else it seems has NO substance whatsoever. It kills me what kids think is good now. I'm 21 and everyone at my school is slave to this rancid music trend: liking ****.

I'm sorry, but I HAD to post this.

****YEAH JUNIOR HIGH WHHOOOOOOOOOO

THIS:XD:

Yeah, that guitar was not plugged into anything. He just brought it onstage and walked around with his pants on the ground. Did you watch long enough to see that "tapping"? WTF!!!!!!:nonono:

I just gotta listen to Octopus's Garden a few times NOW to work off my rage.:psyduck:

Music just gets worse and worse:gonk:

On my music play list it is not uncommon for NAS, Biggie, and Wu-tang to pop on.

This might call for a new Luke & Yoda Photoshop with me & Brian.

But I think that one belongs to Goose and I. I couldnt betray him like that.

Goose...?

Spam?

I don't know why this thread is about anything other than it being funny that you can't hear anything while he's tapping.

Yeah, I cannot imagine a more ignorant human being. He must have never even seen a guitar in real-life till they threw that $1000 fender on him. Talk about not doing ANY research. IN addition the only words I heard him say thought the video were, "Put your mother-****ing hands in the air!"

Talk about the product of stupid white people. And yes, this is your fault. Do not deny it. This is what your teenage daughter is doing on the Internet. Buying Lil Wiener albums off iTunes. That's what all these seemingly "gangster" white kids want. You should have raised your kid better. Thought some values or something, instead of throwing them a wad of cash and saying, "Keep yourself busy." Furthermore, every black person that i know considers this travesty an insult to their entire race. (Yeah even more than Michel Jackson and O.J.)

I can

Nobody listens to this guy on my continent so I think I can deny it.
