guitar man sessions?

socialjay · 04-30-2008, 11:34 AM

I have this 10 min or so session from supposedly of EVH jamming, sounds like its from a studio takeout or something and wondering if it was him or somebody else imprsonating. Ive heard the eruption on from here but this is just jamming from 1984 house of pain and some other things, gret playing though!!!! its from a thing called 1984 Rare Studio Demo Part 2. Would love to know..thanks.

I've had the Eddie "Guitar Man" cd for about 10yrs. I think it's about 10-12 tracks or so. Has a F.U.C.K. tour era picture of Ed on the cover with a blue border. Eruption/1984 outtakes and more.It's pretty good quality. I haven't listened to it in a while but I'll try to upload it soon if anyone doesn't have it. It's a lot longer than 10 minutes I know that much.

I used to have the Guitar Man sessions to. The sound quality is OK. The first ten minutes are him jamming and playing a bunch of awesome true shred licks. Not overloaded with tapping. During this he is playing House of Pain. And on the second part which isn't quite as long all I remember is being kind of disappointed because he didn't shred that much. But, I would REALLY appreciate it if someone posted it as an attachment file.

Wow... I'd love to hear this too! Anybody have it?!?

I wonder... was this used for the spot in Back to the Future where Marty dressed up like a spaceman and freaks out his (teenage) Dad while he's sleeping? The tape that said "Eddie Van Halen" on it?!?

Anybody have this that they can post?!? :-)

No, the "Guitar Man" stuff with all the jamming of 1984 songs is totally different. Besides, I don't think there has ever been a real recording of the stuff he did for Back To The Future (There have been claims of such a recording, but it's never actually shown up anywhere...), meaning what you hear in the movie may be all there is...

so, where is this file everybody is talking about? Guitar Man Sessions!!! I would love to hear it, to see if any of the back to the future recordings are apart of this. Please post it!!!!!!

Sorry I havent checked this site in a while, but I do have both files and I will try to upload them here if I can figure it out.

OK..there it is, please tell me what your thoughts are. Wondering if its legitimate EVH. I hope so , the close encounters sounds so cool and i have no idea why it was never on anything. If anyone has insider info please let me know. Enjoy.

Because it isn't Eddie. That first clip has shown up a few times over the years on various sites, but it isn't Van Halen. Besides, it's nothing at all like the way Eddie did his close encounters bit, as this video shows in the first 50 seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPIs9Smn7wQ

As you can see, he only does the famous opening notes and little else. I don't know know what part of Close Encounters that bit you posted is supposed to be!

However, the second clip is Eddie. The screwing around, the various bits of various songs, mainly House of Pain but also others, and stuff he does, not to mention the dated quailty of it. AFAIK, that one has been confirmed as actually being Eddie...

you can kind of here in the begining if you turn it up really loud it says tape is rolling...who knows for sure.
