Below, check out a clip that's being billed as "rare footage" of Eddie Van Halen making elephant and horse sounds with his guitar backstage at a venue, pre-concert.

I mean, how "rare" can it be if you're watching it right now?

Anyway, it was probably filmed by MTV around 1986 during Van Halen's 5150 tour.

Enjoy!
