Unfortunately Eddie passed in October 2020. He was the most creative and absolutely the greatest guitarist I have ever seen. His rymth and timing was unmatched. It's hard to believe that he created Eruption in 1978. He built his guitars from parts off other brands of guitars. There will never be another Eddie Van Halen. RIP. We miss you Eddie.
Can't believe dude didn't know who he was.
Everyone raves about his techniques and the wild movements, but this cat was a composer .. a damn good one... One of his hallmarks was abrupt key changes for solos in songs.. Jump is a great example of this... RIP Edward
@@wpochert and he never learned how to read music. What makes that truly ironic is that they had to create new notes in order to put what he was doing onto sheet music. R.I.P. Eddie.
No he didn’t. It was actually a hoax that the police uncovered in the end.
😇❤
Sammy Hagar was the vocalist of Van Halen in the later versions. Eddie Van Halen is the lead guitarist. One of best. R.I.P. Eddie!
I was lucky enough to see both Eddie Van Halen and Stevie Ray Vaughn play live. Two of the all time greatest guitar players.
SRV could play 2 difficult guitar parts and make them sound good and not a mess like so many. Eddie could play fast like nobody else ever but for all the blinding speed, he could never move me. My definition of a great guitar player
@@brianyoung3 I understand your feeling here - There are several songs off of Fair Warning, including "Mean Street" and also "Little Guitars" from Diver Down that I think can move you with a rhythmic energy and so many tones of notes and tonal bending that nobody else ever did. It also fits the songs very well and it is a progressive attitude building within songs on his better compositions. I just never really considered Eddie as a "blinding speed" guy, or "shredder."
when told he was the greatest player alive, he said "we have never heard the greatest, the greatest is out there working in a music store, or giving guitar lessons, and that he was only famous because he got a lucky break."
I also had the privilege of seeing both EVH & SRV live. I saw Van Halen open for The Doobie Brothers back in the day and I was at Stevie Ray Vaughn's last concert the night his helicopter crashed after the show at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin August 26th 1990.
@@rmstacy5295 That is very big of Eddie because people who I have known in the business, who came up with people who made it big always used to say that the difference between making it big and remaining a bar band was luck. There is a grain of truth in that but great talent also has something to do with it.
He didn't raise the bar on guitar, he put it in a different galaxy. He changed everything on the electric guitar. The face and astonishment you show during the solo is how all guitarists felt when they heard and saw him. By far the most creative guitarist of all time - the GREATEST all around! On top of that, all their songs (Van Halen) were bangers - how weird is that? There will never be another one like him. All guitarist agree on that - no doubt about that! Great job on your reaction - one of the very best brother!
Remember how much you loved the guitar solo in MJ's "Beat It," well that was Mr. Eddie Van Halen. :) Being a teenager in the 80's was the absolute best!! Amazing hit songs by many artists every. single. week. (unlike today's "music").
and it only cost MJ a case of beer, per Eddies request
Oh no way this was him!?!? 😳 that makes a lot of sense hahaha!!
Eddie was well-known for his ‘tapping’ technique. He didn’t create it, just perfected it and made it his own! R.I.P.Eddie!
@@Sportsref13 But what brand of beer....
He didn't just do the solo - he rearranged it. MJ loved it and kept it the way he rewrote it for him. There's no one like him - pure genius!
It's an amalgamation of several Van Halen songs he's crafted into a giant solo. And he takes liberties with the entire thing because he's played it a million times. RIP, King Edward
Eddie read the book... re-wrote it... flipped it upside down and then played it backwards... he changed the way people viewed the guitar.
R.I.P. Eddie
Trust me at this point in his career what he was capable of was no secret everyone knew
When it comes to stamina I think in those days nicotine, Jack Daniel's and cocaine were to blame... Those guys didn't care about being mortal as long as their legacy was immortal. RIP Eddie and thanks for the goosebumps. 💙
Eddie had a “solo” track on each album. This is the compilation of them. Eruption is the most famous but I like Cathedrals.
Cathedral is probably my favorite.
Little guitars was awesome. 😎
That wasn't Eruption, it was a compilation of many solos across many albums, including Eruption.
Exactly 100 % !! and A Lot of Improvising !!
Eddie called his solo Eruption
This guy was the greatest guitarists of all time he is one of my heroes I love Ed’s sound RIP
The guy on the drums is Ed's brother Alex. Ed started out as a classical pianist as a child. He had to sit on a phone book to reach the keys. In his adolescence he moved to drums. To pay for his drum kit he took on a paper route. While he was throwing papers Alex was mastering Ed's drum kit. After realizing Alex was better on Ed's drums than Ed was, Ed moved to guitar and was the best guitarist in the world. Unfortunately he passed a few years ago. But his music plays on. His last words to the public before he died was "Keep playing". The guy doing the intro is Sammy Hagar (front man for the band at the time). Sammy is also an accomplished guitarist and one hell of a vocalist.
Saw Sammy on his Standing Hampton tour. Great show. When he joined VH they had two very talented guitarists and during the 5150 tour, saw the show October 86, they played some Hagar hits along with VH hits from when Roth was fronting. Bachman Turner Overdrive opened on the 5150 tour and when they played "Takin' Care Of Business" we almost brought the arena's roof down. Man. Eddie's gone, Neil Peart's gone, Malcolm Young's gone. RIP guys. Man. I'm gettin old.
@@blister762 Yep you are getting old.... but not me.....Just kidding, I'm pushing 60. But if you were into music like I was/am. The late 70's and early 80's was a great time to be alive.
@@joeschmoe665 60? man you old pops. I just hit the big 58. I saw AC/DC Back in Black tour, had to sneak out to see it, mom woulda skinned me alive. And I remember when MTV played music videos exclusively. Not a fan of this new music my tastes start with 50's doo wop and end about the beginning of the grunge era. A lot of the old bands are still putting out new stuff tho. Iron Maiden, AC/DC had new stuff. But nothing will ever be like the 60's thru the 80's.
@@blister762 We're neck and neck on the age front. I'll be 58 in June. Although I feel older some days. Getting lucky for me is going into a room and remembering why I went in there. But I'll never forget those concerts......
Yes they are there to see him, but this is from a concert. They are there to see the entire band which is named after him and his brother Alex. Van Halen
If you listen carefully, you hear the classical music (Beethoven, ect) he grew up to playing. He has a son, Wolfgang, who also plays the guitar. It's an experience just watching Van Halen play. May he RIP.
*Quit smoking, smokers 🚭❤️
I feel terrible for this guy's generation and not knowing what he missed
Seriously.
You are correct, it’s hard to believe how clueless this dude is!! I’m stunned how naive this guy is…how do you not know either Eddie, Sammy, or Van Halen…especially if he says he plays the damn guitar! Wow!
Eddie sadly passed away a little while ago. RIP Legend EVH
The sound he created on Van Halen's first albums in the late 70's was even named...the brown sound. He was the greatest! RIP King Edward. ❤🤍🖤
That might be the best description of his talent that I've ever heard...that "he's the closest thing to a wizard that we've seen" Perfect. RIP.
Eddies son Wolfgang is no slouch either... Eddie iirc is credited for the tap method on the guitar, his dad is a Dutch jazz pianist, clarinetist, and saxophonist... he did not read music but was a master at improvisation
I heard Eddie and Alex Van Halen were at a Led Zeppelin concert marveling at Jimmy Page doing a tap style with one hand and they went and tried it. Remember at this point it was Alex that was going to be playing guitar and Eddie was to play drums. Eddie just nailed his experimentation and they switched. wild.
Thats Sammy Hagar. AKA the Red Rocker. He has his own stuff before and after this. He's awesome. I'm a guitarist. Smokes in the strings is the norm for smokers. Check out Randy Rhodes. He's very awesome of a guitarist to.
This is his solo he liked to just get up there and explore his limits with his solo they were great in concert
If you play acoustic you need to hear Eddie play Spanish Fly, Studio version is on Acoustic. and is crazy!!
Sadly, he should still be alive but all those cigarettes had a big part in him dying way too soon. Seeing him play live for the first time somewhere around 1979/80 blew my mind, even though I'd heard the first album. What's crazy is how much his son sounds just like him when he plays his Dad's old songs. If you want to see guys who are in that same guitar wizard category, check out Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Buckethead, just to name three.
Considered the greatest guitarist in the history of modern music, in terms of style, technique and innovation. Self taught on guitar, classically trained with his brother Alex (on drums), and had riffs for months. Gone yet not forgotten, there will never be another Edward Lodejwik Van Halen.
He actually started Piano first, then Drums, while Alex played Piano and Guitar, then Eddie and Alex switched instruments, and they became GOATs in their respective
Don't forget about Hendrix..........
@@5117danielle can't forget Jimi, his playing is nearly unparalleled during the 60s.
He was ALWAYS smiling.
Rest in Paradise Edward.
For another vibe guitar masterpiece try Roy Clark doing Malaguena.
I completely concur regarding the confidence of performing and "I already did the work" mentality. I think it goes a step or two further, in that this is not just what he does, it is literally who he is. The man's brain uses the language of music to define his environment. There is a line from "Good Will Hunting" that fits as Will is describing to his girlfriend what it is like to be a genius. He basically says it's like how Beethoven saw the piano. He didn't see it like other people, when he sat down, he just "got it." That's Eddie and music, too. If you do some background work, you will see all sorts of different effect stuff and sound equipment Eddie pioneered. My point is that he doesn't even consider the possibility of a performance issue. He probably did a better version of this sitting at home fucking around on a Saturday afternoon.
And he did all this after playing an entire concert, I love how effortless he makes it look RIP Eddie gone to soon
Eddie and Alex Van Halen (drums) are the key to the band Van Halen. They had 3 singers, this was Sammy Hagar (I can't drive 55, from his solo career). This number is a series of scales (framework) that he improvises over. One of the best, and definitely the most copied guitarist all through the 80s. All hairmetal bands were aspiring to this.
Eddie was a master of "double tapping' or a series of hammer ons, and hammer offs. Using your stronger fingers from your strumming hand, you tap, then depress the string with control, and accuracy.
He then, later, uses the delay pedal to create an atmosphere of echoing notes, overlapping each other.
Sammy was the best lead singer of that band. That’s when VH was the greatest.
@@robk1310 Almost every part of that solo were pieces from the first few albums. Eruption, Cathedrals, Mean Streets.
Now that you know he has passed on - watch his incredible son play this. Eddie taught him well!!!
Wolfgang Van Halen
If you watch it again. The lighting changes with the mood of the solo. Ed will always be king.
Who says I didn't see it the first time
Eddie truly changed the guitar world back in the 80's. He was a "once in a lifetime" talent.
The late great Eddie Van Halen!
Thank you for sharing your reaction to Eddie! He was like a child with a new toy when he played the guitar. He played with such joy and gave the people what they wanted! Miss you Eddie!
If you want to see a guitarist even more skilled and faster than the marvelous AVH, check out John Mclaughlin with Mahavishnu Orchestra, my #1 guitarist of all time, followed closely by #2 Phil Keaggy. Love your show, bro!
Sammie Hagar who introduced EVH is a guitar legend in his own right. He considered Eddie, as most do, the G.O.A.T.
He was 65 when he died in 2020. He had cancer, but what killed him was a stroke. His son Wolf (Wolfgang) played with Van Halen until 2020, when his dad died.
Eddie’s last recorded record was 38 notes per second. To this day, no other guitarist has ever come close to achieving that goal. The closest was 27 notes per second by a flamenco guitarist playing Maleguena.
Eddie is and forever will be a legend in music. RIP. 🤘
Was that for picking or hammer-ons they should be in different categories
@@KevRalph I'm guessing picking . He's said he could play so fast it just sounds like feedback .
Ten years after. I'm going home live Woodstock
I love that Eddie Van Halen is referred to as "This Guy" the entire time. I am happy that his music will live on forever through this type of exposure. Best and first concert that I ever went to.
This dude and his generation are absolutely clueless!
As an "older" guy, I can't see how you can be so out of touch to not know who these people are, or anything whatsoever about them. But then again I am "older". Lol
I was there...1986....right hand of the stage on the floor....two night show.....no clue how we got back to the hotel....Peace!
I saw Van Halen in a backyard party in West Covina in 1974. Though from what I remember, a lot of the set was covers, my future ex-wife and I both knew they were going to be something. A couple of years later I saw them at Gazzarris on the Strip and yes, we were right!! I've seen them maybe15 times and each one was better,
If you like rock you really need to listen to 70's and 80s rock. Some of the best guitarist around in many styles played then. Some are dead now. Others are still playing. There's many guitar wizzards then.
Eddie was so intoxicated during this solo he didn't remember it when asked about it in an interview. Can you imagine how good he was sober?
Yet no one can find that interview
@@jeffmanny8246 Yeah , first I heard that . I do know he was really ripped @ The US Festival which was a better concert .
@@akfreed6949 I was at both nights of this show. He didn't seem out of it at all.
@@jeffmanny8246 Correct. The band knew it was for a recording. They were not smashed at all for this.
Parts of this solo are actually intros to some of their songs, other parts of the solo are made up on the spot.
Eddie Van Halen,the MOZART of guitar!🎸🤘👊🤯
Man you need to dig around in music history. This is epic. Straight music from a man who couldn't read music. He has a guitar in the Smithsonian. He built the things. I'll send a link. There's too much to type
Welcome out from under the rock you've been living under...
Even Soviet Russians blinded behind the Iron Curtian have heard this song before.
WOW!
People tend not to realise that Eddie Van Halen was not only the greatest guitarist in the history of rock ‘n’ roll, but he composed every single Van Halen song
@James M Hare Jr Okay smart arse, you know what I meant
Ahhh Eddie Van Helen!!! All the girls lived him. He just passed away in the fall of throat cancer. His son Wolfgang plays
I live in Shreveport Louisiana where Eddie Van Halen met Valerie bertinelli in 1980ish. She and her family lived here so once they married Van Halen kicked off tours and played lots of shows here so they could visit her family. I saw them three times back then and they were phenomenal. Sadly Eddie died of throat cancer aged 65 in December of 2020.
Watched live without a net countless times. How someone doesn't know who Edward Van Halen is or who the ban Van Halen is blows my mind.
the original Eruption started as a warmup exercise he would do before taking the stage at each concert, they decided to put it on the debut album in 1978...
He built a guitar he called the frankenstrat that was a Fender Stratocaster body and neck with Gibson internals pickups etc. He also put a variac on his Peavey 5150 guitar amps to get what became affectionately known as the brown sound.
Eddie Van Halen was special and I don't mean short bus special thank you for all the great music Mr Van Halen rest in peace
..."doesn't seem too complex..." Hold on to your hat, buddy... One of the greatest guitarists, and legendary rock bands of all time, hard to believe you have never heard of VanHalen. That's a heartbreaker...
It started as a warm-up routine and fans heard it and loved it and it grew and evolved from there, it's never played exactly the same way. Steve Vai is another amazing guitarist. There's a scene in the movie "Crossroads" where Steve Vai duels Ralph Macchio on guitars, Ralph is faking his part (very well though), and Steve actually plays both parts. You can find the video on RUclips, make sure you watch the longer version so you don't miss any of it. Steve has a hell of a history, you should read about him. Another song to check out is "Cliffs of Dover" by Eric Johnson, another great guitarist.
I was lucky enough to see Van Halen in Philly in the late 70's and early 80's. They were incredibly talented and personable. Sadly, Eddie died of cancer recently.
Congratulations! You just got to watch the GOAT. RIP EVH
everybody in the world knew eddy van halen and anybody knew he passed away , why you didn’t know. and you didn’t know who sammy eagar was? come on!
Who is he, he's a rock legend.
Guy at the start was Sammy Hagar, their 2nd lead vocalist.
All hail King Edward !! The greatest guitarist that has ever lived. Unfortunately he died2 years ago from UK mouth cancer. If you enjoyed the solo you need to dive in and listen to more songs from their catalog of songs. Especially songs like POUNDCAKE and MEAN STREETS. You will want to listen to HOT FOR TEACHER and BES TDD of BOTH WORLDS. He also played the killer guitar solo in Michael Jackson song BEAT IT. I strongly suggest you to dive into the early Van Halen and when they got a new lead singer SAMMY HAGAR (what many people called the band VanHagar). Eddie broke every rule when it came to playing the guitar and ven the magazine GUITAR WORLD called Eddie the GUITAR GOD! Most people that have seen Eddie play will admit that he is the greatest guitarist that has lived. T From building his first guitar to designing better speakers to designing pick ups and other items for the guitar. When he came out he immediately made a generation of kids want to be be EDDIE VAN HALEN and started learning how to play the guitar. He could not read music but he was had an ear for music and could remember pages and pages of music that he could not read to understand what notes to play and how it was supposed to be played. He invented the 2 finger tapping technique and the 2 finger slides that you can see him use in the solo. He and the drummer are brothers. Eddie and Alex started VAN HALEN in Pasadena California in the 1970's and the world has been rocking ever since. His son Wolfgang Van Halen is a gifted musician like his father. Please take the time to dive into more of Van Halen and their music. You will not be sorry that you did.
These guys use to fill stadiums 🏟
The introduction was made by THE Red Rocker, Mr Sammy Hagar. He was lead vocalist after David left the band. The story I have heard is the Van Halen parents gave Alex a guitar and decided to give Eddie a drum set. One day Eddie came home to find brother Alex on his drums. To get even, Eddie picked up his brother's guitar and started playing with it. The rest of the story is music history. Eddie would often play guitar with his back to the crowd. He did this so no one could see how he made the sounds that he created. RIP Eddie.
Eddie bought his drum set by taking up a paper route. So while he was out delivering papers, Alex was at home playing the drums....and was much better at it than Eddie. So Eddie gave him the drums and took Akex's guitar.
Absolutely the best ever to grab you by the throat and shake you to the core! It was so awesome to see your first time reaction witnessing King Edward in his element. If you loved that, I'd like to suggest for you to react to Black Label Society "In this River" live version from The European Invasion 'Doom Troopin' featuring Zakk Wylde who absolutely shreds on a whole different level. It'll knock your socks off, definitely. 👍🤘☝
5150 tour. Saw them Oct 86 in San Antonio. BTO opened up for them. Sammy Hagar had a great solo career before being picked to replace DLR. Saw VH on their 1984 tour too. I remember this solo the stadium went wild. RIP Eddie.
Eddie Van Halen was an original and that's not an easy thing to accomplish to say the least, if not less. I suggest you lend your ears to Jimi Hendrix's "House Burning Down." It's Jimi in the studio at the peak of his powers. It was recorded in 1967 and over a half century later I still can't figure out how he did all that. Highly recommended.
And to think about this...Eddie never had a single guitar lesson EVER! He spent hours upon hours in his bedroom as a kid learning how to play by himself. This I believe is how he came up with everything he did. No outside influences telling him how to learn it a certain way.
This is from the late 80s. Eddie sadly died in 2020. It was a big shock to the rock world.
Eddie VanHalen is the best guitar player ever!!! His band is Van Halen, the singer is Sammy Hagar!!! Listen to more of their music. I've seen Van Halen with Sammy live several times, and they are INCREDIBLE!!!!!
the rock-metal era of the late80s into the early 90s was an amazing time for great guitarists, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Mark Knopfler, Brian May, Vito Bratta, Joe Perry, Richie Sambora, Nuno Bettencourt, Vernon Reid and Slash,and probably a ton more I am overlooking
Check out Roy Clark 12th street rag
EVH is a legendary guitarist. VH is a legendary group. If you appreciate accoustic wizardry, try Tommy Emmanuel

Is this guy from Mars? Never heard Eruption before? ... right....
The way the crowd goes silent when Eddie starts to play tells you all you need to know.
Michael like the comment before mine states sadly Edward Van Halen left us just three years ago😮💨😮💨. Guitar God innovative and the solo is called Eruption, from Van Halen 1.....Give it a listen....Peace....Out.
Eddie , Stevie ray , Jimmie hendrix, Jimmy page all greats. Did I miss anyone
Jeff Beck
Without eruption there’d have been no thunderstruck, Eddie was a wild one. I think Eruption was 1979 or 1980? Ain’t talking bout love is my fave riff by him
This was New Haven, CT in 1986. Eddie was a true trailblazer fueled by cigarettes, blow, and pure genius. His style and technique influenced many of today's guitar gods. He passed away from throat cancer in 2020.
Glad you've discovered Eddie Van Halen...The Best, EVER!! 💔😥 Now start diving into more Van Halen reactions. BTW...what's with the jar of mayonnaise sitting on the back of the couch behind you?! LOL 😂🤣😅
You thought this was good...watch Michaelangelo Batio "double guitar shred medley "...he plays left handed, right handed, cross handed, over and under, BOTH HANDS AT ONCE, upside down...and when he plays with both hands...one hand is doing one riff...the other is doing something completely different
Unfortunately Eddie Van Halen died on the morning of October 6th, 2020. Which was the morning after my 31st birthday. One of the greatest guitar players ever
If speed guitar and virtuosity impress you, you should check out Roy Clark. Malaguena and the 12th Street Rag, in particular.
WHO is this? Eddie Van Halen, half of the band Van Halen that he fronted with his drummer brother Alex. Sadly, he passed away a couple years back and was previously married to actress: Valerie Bertenelli. And yes! THE best guitar player we've seen to date. RIP Eddie!
😔😢😭😭😭
Welcome to Rock N Roll, Michael. Check out the Red Rocker doing "Heavy Metal from the Heavy Metal soundtrack. I think you'll be the coffee table burning up the air guitar.😎😎😎
When Eddie started, there was no MTV. There was no Walkman. There was no CD or CD player. You wanted to hear Van Halen? You BOUGHT the album! When Eddie started out, there was NOBODY like him. NO- BODY. We ALL thought guys like Clapton, Townshend, and hundreds of others were the best guitar players (and, no question, they were INCREDIBLE. And then there is this guy from California, and he read the book, re wrote the book, SMOKED the book, and threw the book out! Eruption was a real HOLY SHIT moment for lots of music fans. In MY age group, which, honestly, was young at that time, most of us were like " I didn't know you could DO that with a guitar!" You couldnt deny, he was on a level of his own. You look at MOST of the So Cal hair band from the 80's, and watch and listen to THEIR guitars. Who do you think they were copying? Who do you think they were emulating?? ED-DIE!
There are many many people that can play like Eddie. They grew up copying him, emulating him, learning from what he did. But, you have to be true to Eddie- He did it, and he did it first, and he led the way.
Eddie was an incredible guitarist who took the instrument to a different level, then everyone else tried to copy the same chops. Unfortunately his smoking led to his death in 2020 when he died of cancer.
Gary Richraft flying turkey trot live REO Speed wagon guitar solo better shread than Eddy V promise
Most of what you hear is EVH stringing together and improving bits and pieces of several different "solo" types of pieces he created on different studio records that VH put out over the years. So in concert instead of playing just "the latest album solo", he would improvise and string them together so that fans got to hear a little bit of them all. When VH1 was released in 1978, it changed rock guitar playing FOREVER! He was a master and creator of a style all his own which has NEVER been duplicated...and many have tried...but there was only ONW EVH! RIP EVH
It is said, that this was his warm-up routine before the show until somebody told him something like "Man, you GOTTA do this on stage!"
RIP King Edward!
I'm pretty sure you've heard a Van Halen song before but didn't know the band, at least "Jump" or "Panama" ;-)
EVH had an ego that could fill an auditorium. Yet I saw him in an interview back in the 80’s where the interviewer had secretly invited Chet Atkins, one of Eddie’s idols. When Atkins told Eddie to call him Chet, Eddie replied,”Ok Mr.Atkins.” Eddie also sought out Glen Campbell for “lessons” before he became the guitar God he was. Watch Glen Campbell do The William Tell Overture live and you will know why EVH went to him.
Who is this guy (Sammy Hagar)😂😂😂😂!!
How old are you dude? Never heard of Van Halen?? C'mon Jack!!
I saw VH every Dallas show. Once, they had to cancel, so they came back to Big D and did a free show on the outskirts of downtown at the Westend. Over 100,000 people showed up. Luckily, I was a DJ for the station sponsoring it, so I got to be close and safe! Last time I saw them, we paid (for charity) to sit in the stage…about 10 feet from Eddie. He, and Sammy, smoked all our cigarettes. We didn’t mind lol. Eddies son, Wolfgang Van Halen, could play that at 15. Wolfie has a great band now, Mammoth. That was what VH was going to name their band. Wolf plays every instrument on the album, produced it, everything. Watch the Mammoth video, Dont Back Down. I think it got a Grammy for it!
RIP Eddie Van Halen, what a master on the AX! Simple awestruck!
If NEWto guitar you will probably see all the Hotshot young bucks BUT. EDs songs are on the radio. AS WE SPEAK
If you play, you absolutely should get yourself an electric. The neck response will blow your mind.
This is nor Eruption. Its has parts of Eruption, Spanish Fly, Cathedral, Mean Streets, umm.. Even the opening is part of a solo.
Eruption is a little over 90 seconds- maybe 100 seconds long
Dude has had to of heard Eruption. Its like when a comedian says " you cant make this stuff up" is same as " Ive never heard this before- first time" 😆 Yeah, ok
