Why does Brian Young play, "Eruption" live ?

[smaz]

Eruption is to You Really Got Me as Eddie is to Beer.

Eruption is the part before YRGM, leads into it and goes hand in hand with it. It's how it was played, is played, and will be played. Young plays it to keep that going. However, he doesn't play it like Ed plays it live, by extending it out, playing whatever etc.

True....the way he plays it blew me away at the Rama Show! He fingertaps over the neck of the guitar like he's playing a piano! I kinda took it as a light mockery. As in, "this is very easy to play"......and I do it BETTER!

apparently they have recorded a full albums worth of

new material, and it is up to Dave when to release it.

Dave is also planning a world tour in the near future, so

we should probably hear the new material prior to this.

(thanks Carmine and Golden Boy)

First, your welcome. Ray and Brian BOTH said they have tons of stuff waiting to release. They also kinda smiled at each other when I asked them.(???) I took from the conversation that, whatever it is, it will be HUGE! And for anyone who has heard this band live, it will absolutely ROCK! But, I also feel that the "delay" in releasing it may have something to do with an original band we all know and love possibly reconvening in 2006!

I'm just kinds scared that the 1998 DLR Band CD will be Dave's last rock album.

Aw don't worry, it's a market timing/motivation thing currently.

Also if Brian was butchering EVH's stuff, I would be the first to trash the guy, as a musician.

Secondly, when Randy Rhodes died, a lot of musicians had a problem with Zakk Wylde doing Randy's stuff, but Zakk was so damn good, and it got Ozzy back out on the road, that it all worked for the better, even with Randy's mom.

Brian is no Zakk, but Eddie is no Randy, if you look at the big picture on the matter.

Brian is good for Diamond. EVH is a liability now, not an asset to Dave. I would not have said that until this 04 Tour disaster, on top of the 98 Tour disaster, and going to see a VanSpam Boy's 04 gig.

Van Halen as a band is closed history.

On the same note, Sam should NOT be singing Dave's songs live either let alone putting that shit on BOBW IMO.

EXACTLY NG. Anybody wanna here something truly "Hideous", check out Spammy butchering "UNCHAINED" or RWTD. WOW! That's sacrilegious!

I want to hear 'Eruption' when I see Dave, especially on the last tour when it was sandwhiched between '...Devil' and 'You Really Got Me'.

I think it's a cliche now that at rock shows-the chances are you're gonna hear a guitar solo-if you're going to see someone play a load of Van Halen material-it might as well be 'Eruption'-it adds to nostalgia, as well, I suppose.

WARF rules! Keep Rothin!!

By the way, I wanna see Brian Young do "Frenzy" by Paul Gilbert live onstage with Dave... that'd fucken kick ass!!

[WARF]

That would be interesting Scotty!


So anyways, what kind of poontang has THE BODY been gettin' lately?

That's the problem i have with it, actuially!

It reinforces that Dave is no longer (and would rather be) with the band!

Leave it to memory, let Young play his own thing, and leave eruption out in the dump. phooey!

[DavidLeeNatra]

have you ever LISTENED to what brian is playing? or do you just read the setlists posted in reviews where everybody just writes "eruption" instead of "brian's solo"...

he mentioned in an interview that dave asked him to play a solo and to play HIS stuff and not a cover of eruption...and if you bother to take a listen to the boots (where everybody names it eruption, too) it's not even close to the original but brian shredding his own shit...

I didn't know shite about VH - III so I watched a full video I got of the 98 Tour stop in Sydney. Great vid/pro-shot as to quality.

First Cherone totally sucked. The guy was just horrible, and didn't fit the band at all.

Second, it was funny, it was wierd to me seeing Cherone do Hagar VH II songs, not Van Roth songs. I mean everyone covers Van Roth songs, but nobody covers Van Hagar songs.

I listened to a couple of 98 Tour audios and Cherone sucked bad on those also. I don't know much about Cherone's previous work with Extreme, but I never remember the guy sounding like shite, as he did with VH III.

If he can play it, then PLAY it! A gig is still a gig, he's still a guitarist, it still impresses the FUCK out of a lot of people. If he can play "Eruption" or anything with Eruption-esque overtones, then SWISH! If i were at a gig, that's be a really cool thing to see. Songs are there to be covered!

Unless it's a CVH song and Hagar or Cherone are doing it!
