Did you know? Eddie Van Halen played the guitar solo for Michael Jackson's "Beat It" under the conditions of not being credited and keeping it a secret from his band. Marc Bolan, who feared dying young in a car crash, tragically died at age 29 in a car accident driven by his girlfriend. When The Smiths disbanded, during a court case over royalty rights, the judge ranked the band members by IQ, with Johnny Marr considered the most intelligent and the others falling varying degrees below him.

"streaking naked" is right up there with "7 a.m. in the morning"

[RandyGraham-ss]

Eddie Van Halen absolutely flawless guitarist 🎸 😮😮😮.

[ericwalker]

Streaking naked, you say? As opposed to...what, streaking fully clothed?

[AnthonyMason-cqgi]

How horrific ironic for Bolen. And there a lot to the Pouges. A lot.❤❤❤❤

I also played on Beat It I had the same agreement as Eddie. 😊

I used to see 311 every Monday at the Ranch Bowl in Omaha for their New Music Monday concerts. If I remember correctly, it was a $5.00 cover charge. I also saw L7 there and Bodycount.

E V H also changed the songs production sequence

[A-BurmaShave]

Streaking naked?

That line must have been written by the Department of Redundancy Department.

[samzavaleta]

Morrissey was with the Smiths?

Did not know that

[arfriedman]

I like Morrissey, the smith's, the cure, Depeche mode, new order, erasure, and similar music.

Great video and channel.

[jamesredman]

[tjwash]

So many people have called 911 to report my 311’s.

[alanw]

Have you heard the guitar solo from Beat It? Who else could have pulled that off? Ha!

[brgreg]

Bolans girlfriend, Gloria Jones, had a minor hit with the original “Tainted Love”

[JasonL]

There was a rumor for a minute that the band 311 was racist because the letter K is the 11th letter of the alphabet. So 3 11 meant…(you can do the math.)

[kayakdog]

Eddie's solo for MJ was the worst kept secret ever. It was already leaked before MJ could flag down the next school bus.

[davidreguera]

I finally found one that you didn't use the first pitcher as the root of your story is Freddie.Mercury and then talk about Van Halen.I got you

[sunchavox]

But everyone knows it was EVH who played that solo
