1 MILLION VIEWS!! Damn I’ve spent the majority of my life on UA-cam watching so many videos of all kinds. Feels crazy to be in the million club. Thanks to everyone who’s watched this video!! I appreciate it.
I feel like Eddie would have loved this cover. He always emphasized the fact he felt like he had to fill every silent space since they were a three piece band. You added so much flair and random noises and it felt like a version he would have played some night. 11/10
@JoshuaJonesGuitar Well listen I have learned the almighty 0,3,5 method and even though it is an extremely difficult thing to learn I can teach you my ways Joshua son. Lol. I am the guitar master haha.
1:07 I am in love with the way you added in the super frantic slide. It added a sense of panic and despite the fact its simple, it’s so original because you are the first I’ve ever seen do that. Absolutely incredible job.
Definitely his version and his alone man. This an original of an original. I really hope this dude gets a hookup in a big band like GnR when they got Buckethead. Some huge touring band and gets this guy on the road and in front of 10,000 or more people per night. 🤘🤘🤘
I might be the only one of 733 comments that noticed that my man even included the "mistake" at the peak of the tapping part...This is absolute perfection!!!
About 1979 which was a year I was in High School... there was this kid. I don't even know his name. He built this 5"x5" cube in electronics class that was made out of aluminium and had a speaker on one side and a big red button on top. When he pushed the button, Eruption played through the speaker. It was the greatest invention I had ever seen up to that time.
This is the best eruption cover I’ve ever seen. The tone is dead on and the playing is impeccable. You somehow made that your own all at the same kind. Damn. Kudos, man. Insanely impressive.
The fact that you start to play You Really Got Me right after (like on the album) really made me thought I was listening to the original. Nice attention!
That guitar playing you did sounded awesome, Joshua. Two thumbs up! I've been a fan of Van Halen from the time I was 16 years old. Out of the 12 studio albums they did, I have 'em all!
Well, this a treat to be sure. Always dig your energy man - whatever you're playing. That is a beautiful guitar! I have a '62 reissue Strat (1993), sunburst, w/Texas Specials. Also a Maison super-strat (very similar body to your Schecters) with some kind of Seymour Duncan pick-ups. The previous owner said he put metal humbuckers on the bridge, and blues humbuckers on the neck. Keep up the great work Josh! I'm always on the lookout for a live stream or new video from you. Mahalo ❤🔥
Awesome, Josh! Your technique, skills are unbelievable, as always. Have you thought about covering Cult Of Personality by Living Colour? You seem to be the ONE who could really cover it, ha. Love that song!
i like how you played You Really Got Me riff right after the dive bomb. i wish you could do it again but with the whole cover of You Really Got Me in it as a transition.
This is the image you have on your head when you are a beginner and see someone slightly better than you playing guitar in person (they are playing smoke on the water)
Now now now you see The goal for a cover of eruption Is to make your guitar sound like it's been on crack for years straight And you have done a wonderful job (No jokes aside that was probably the best cover of eruption I have ever heard. Eddie would be proud)
1 MILLION VIEWS!! Damn I’ve spent the majority of my life on UA-cam watching so many videos of all kinds. Feels crazy to be in the million club. Thanks to everyone who’s watched this video!! I appreciate it.
I played the most in my life "come as you are"
HOW DID YOU DO THIS
Off topic but is that a rosary ur wearing?
@@chloee.coversyeah Yngwie inspired!
@@JoshuaJonesGuitar it’s pretty!
Congratulations 🤘
I feel like Eddie would have loved this cover. He always emphasized the fact he felt like he had to fill every silent space since they were a three piece band. You added so much flair and random noises and it felt like a version he would have played some night. 11/10
How would you know what he'd like?
@@rickwilliams967he never said he knew…
horror vacui
@@rickwilliams967 "I feel" not "I know"... He's using evidence from things Eddie said, but not claiming that he KNOWS Eddie would like it.
im gonna have to agree. so much emotion behind the playing. thats eddie to a T
He sounds like Eddie, picks with his right hand like Marty and got Dimebag's hair.
this dude is the metal-package!!
so hes right handed got it
@@GreaseBall- when he picks the strings he looks like Marty
Actually he picks like Paul Gilbert
Hendrix picks in that weird up angled style too
and Yngwie Malmsteen's bracelet 😄
By far, the best cover of Eruption I've ever seen and heard.
And by now I've probably seen thousands of them.
Umm actually Buddy there's only 408 eruption cover🤓🤓
@@dextermapula8575 how do you even know the exact number
@@dextermapula8575 seems like someone is using youtube for the first time
@@dextermapula8575GET OUT 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
@@dextermapula8575 its an opinion mate
I mean yeah sure. That was ok and all but can you play smoke on the water? Lol
That's usually my Go To Comment also. Lol. That or Proud Mary
Technically no, I’ve never learned it😂
@JoshuaJonesGuitar Well listen I have learned the almighty 0,3,5 method and even though it is an extremely difficult thing to learn I can teach you my ways Joshua son. Lol. I am the guitar master haha.
@@JoshuaJonesGuitarok dude, every guitar player has played 035 at least once, just do as the man says.
@PBuzay1 Oh yeah lol. Is Proud Mary a really easy song to learn? Also who made that song? I'll have to look it up.

He deserves better than GnR 😂
@@samkoopmann8833 agreed, love GnR but this guy's next level
Your technique and style is off the charts. That was amazing.
I think this right here the absolute best ever cover/improv of Eruption. It just can't get any better
Dude, that was f***ing impressive
Edit: you’ve earned my subscription
I might be the only one of 733 comments that noticed that my man even included the "mistake" at the peak of the tapping part...This is absolute perfection!!!
you absolutely were not :) pretty sure most people know of that
What mistake
Love the mean street into thumpin’ at the beginning. Eddie was GOAT ahead of his time
Awesome rendition Josh, keep it up man, hopefully WVH sees this video, I bet he'd love it!
Well Eddie’s dead 😢😢😢
@@AverageGamer728 Yeah that's why I said WVH.... not EVH... 😅
@@AverageGamer728
EVH: Eddie Van Halen
WVH: Wolfgang Van Halen (his son)
Or AVH, he'd love it too I'm sure

Where to buy ?
How did you do that crazy harmonic at 1:57?????
Just a natural harmonic with dive bomb. Just like dimebag does
@@gabriellaurindo2175dime did it a little differently but youre right
floyd rose
i think this is the most accurate, beautiful, and perfect cover of Eddie Ive ever seen.
Best eruption cover I’ve heard so far 💥💥💥🔥
1:37 LMAO THE TONGUE
I just realise that
i thought i was the only one LMAOO
god damn, first time i see somebody playing it with the same energy and style like EVH did, big up for the intro lick part from meanstreet
Best cover on UA-cam by far, no one else even comes close.
Yoo bro ı mean just the energy here is amazing but you also nail the tone, tremolo picking, tapping in a word everything. Respect!
Holy Cow! This is like listening to Eddie on a record player, but the speed is set to 78 rpm! Insane!
Holy crap...I'm speechless.
Killer tone and amazing playing... doesn't get any better🤘
Bro… cleanest eruption cover ever🔥
So much feel, aggression and just fucking swag oozes out of your playing. Just cool af.
This is the best eruption cover I’ve ever seen. The tone is dead on and the playing is impeccable. You somehow made that your own all at the same kind. Damn. Kudos, man. Insanely impressive.
my question is how'd you make that sound with your pickup selector at 0:56
The neck pickup is not functional. When he switches from bridge to neck, it cuts off the volume.
@ thank you, didnt think about that
I would love to see the breakdown of all those techniques you've used here. All those slides, hammer ons, pull offs and whatnots. Really impressive
Dang, tone is spot on
it just gets better every time i watch this
What a bold guitar technique! Awesome sound, man!!!
Just threw all my guitars away, nicely done sir I enjoyed this ❤
“Anyway, here’s how to do a g chord”
The fact that you start to play You Really Got Me right after (like on the album) really made me thought I was listening to the original. Nice attention!
YOU CRAZY MAAN!!!! Love the cover, good job!
I love how the tapping section is the only thing he didn’t change because it was already perfect
That was the best cover I've ever seen of eruption. Frickin awesome man
This is great. I like that it's close enough to be genuine, but different enough to give it it's own flare. Nicely done.
BRO YOU DO IT AMAZING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You absolute killed it, great original playing man! :)
Bro is Eddie Van Halen, literally the looks, the guitar, the Eruption, everything. Bravo bro
170 people had to of missed the like button by mistake. This is insane, beautiful, breath taking. As close to the live we all know and love
I liked how he started with mean street before going to eruption
That was a spiritual experience watching this
this was fucking awesome
This is so close to EVH that its unreal, the sound and tone is perfect. Easily the best EVH impersonator Ive seen on youtube.
Dang man you have mad skills!!! Eddie would be so proud!!!!💪💪💪
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you killed it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is my favorite version I've seen played (besides Eddie)
your just incredible bro keep doing it
Bad ass man love the vids
Loved this song since I heard it. It honestly no joke got me into metal. I finally am playing guitar and this video really helps me learn it
wow, crazy good!!
wow! that expression..inspires! thanks!
this guy deserves his guitar
I watch this every couple months, years, days, whenever
I think Ed would love it... I think he would see a chance of rock in the future. Great job.
That guitar playing you did sounded awesome, Joshua. Two thumbs up! I've been a fan of Van Halen from the time I was 16 years old. Out of the 12 studio albums they did, I have 'em all!

Besides smokes on the water jokes, that was insane, like effortless playing well done

Tapping

@@Dr.monkeyBTD6And what do you think he did with his left hand?
I watch this cover like 3-4 times a week because of how amazing it is
Gifted player, congrats for all your hard work..........
Dude…gaddamn that is just about THE best I have heard anywhere other than EVH the man himself…. brilliant job
🤘🎸
bro who got eddie's reboot card
Bro made Eruption harder than it already is
Incredible skill and fluency at work. Also love the Marty Friedman style picking hand
underrated album,so many soulful songs here
Melhor cover que já vi. Extraordinário!! 🇧🇷🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏
the beggining was SO SO SO SO brilliant
1:55 hmm, I get some kind of Mandela effect with this intro, pretty sure I've heard it elsewhere
It’s the into to the next track on the album
A cover of the Kinks song “You’ve really got me”
Nice pfp
Wow the energy in this is off the charts
DAMN. This is BY FAR the best cover I’ve seen! Keep up the good work man! 🎸🤘
todays generation will never understand how amazing you did this cover
That kicked so much ass! Love the intensity. EVH lives on!!! 🎸 🌋
1:01 why does it sound like holy wars the punishment due by megadeth lol
I can’t stop watching this. Incredible bro
Awesome, Josh! Your technique, skills are unbelievable, as always.

DAYUM THAT TONE >>>
Mind blowing!
That picking hand is so weird, I kind of love it
This is gonna make people mad, that was better than the original
Tf r u talkin about
@@Kdn818no he is right this was waaay better than the original
@@hensoakira yeah but did this guy come up with eruption? No Eddie Van Halen did . Y’all are delusional
@@Kdn818 yes its a cover but his version is better. Simple as that, you think like a fish
@@hensoakira ur a psychopath if u think this cover is better than the genius original, u got not musical taste
that was just fucking amazing
Wait till he hears about 7 nation army 😈
i like how you played You Really Got Me riff right after the dive bomb. i wish you could do it again but with the whole cover of You Really Got Me in it as a transition.
Thank you for your GREAT PERFORMANCE❗❗👍👍😍😍
Mega Cool Guitar Playing Pirmin From Switzerland 🇨🇭
1:04 EVH noise
he sure did invent the trill
I love your sense of showmanship
The BEST eruption cover on the internet 🌋
Yeah man! That's it!❤👏👏👏
This is the image you have on your head when you are a beginner and see someone slightly better than you playing guitar in person (they are playing smoke on the water)
I was like yeah but is he gonna go into "Girl You Really Got me" . Then he did! Awesome job man!
On fire ! Send my good vibes from Portugal! Keep Rock ❤ !
Damn dude , you be slaying hard ,, very impressive 👏🏼
Now now now you see
The goal for a cover of eruption
Is to make your guitar sound like it's been on crack for years straight
And you have done a wonderful job
(No jokes aside that was probably the best cover of eruption I have ever heard. Eddie would be proud)
Man I love that Warren DeMartini slide shit right before the tapping section
Bro actually just flexed in the beginning with the tappin
