We LOVED this. This was INCREDIBLE 💕🔥🔥
The song Eruption is an intro piece that is only about 2 minutes. So this whole solo you saw here was mostly improvised during that live show. As I said in my comment below, you don't see "guitar solos" in live shows much anymore.
Glad you liked it. Eddie was a guitar God. He'll be missed. I still can't believe he is gone. I'm glad I got to see him in concert. He was so amazing to watch and you could tell how much he loved playing. Always grinning and the joy he had in him from playing.
Nice to see your reaction to this. My favorite UA-cam video of all time!! EVH R.I.P. 🔥🔥🎼🎸🎻🔥🔥
Un mago dela guitarra que descanse en paz .... Thank you ladies !!!!!
Witnessed this as a child of 6 years old.... Lit the flame and started that fire in my soul.. I'm 41 now and have been playing since! One of the goat , rest easy Eddie 😔
Eddie didn't pass away....God just wanted to learn to play guitar
God has a lot to learn.
Eddie is god.
Wait God is learning from
God?
According to Wolfgang (eddies son) he wasn’t very good at teaching
Damned straight!!!!
Eddie played guitar with a pianists mindset, both hands equally as important. I'll miss his riffs as much as his smile.
I think most guitarists understand that right and left hand technique are both equally important. Maybe not though.
That goofy smile truly made Edward one of a kind!
Well, that would make sense, since both he and Alex were originally being raised to be classical concert pianists.
RIP EVH! Interesting fact: Dimebag Darrell was a big fan of Eddie Van Halen. EVH actually went to Dimebag's funeral and placed one of his original guitars in the casket with DIme saying "an original for an original"
Before shows Dime and his brother used to say "Van Halen!!" too, to get into the vibe! EVH guitar tone and technique set the bar and sound of the 80's guitar for sure. He inspired so many
Omg😩im not crying, you are! That's incredibly sweet.
@@TwoSistersReact If you have the opportunity, take a look at the album artwork for Van Halen II. The guitar that Dimebag is buried with is the yellow and black one seen on the back of the album. An incredible gesture on Eddie's part......
@@Test-hg2ts dimes final words were "van halen"
Yellow and black stripe cause it was dimes fav from the VH2 album cover
When I heard Eddie died tears came to my eyes. Van Halen was the soundtrack of my youth.
Mine too
Same
Yes brother, drenched in the fire!
Eruption was a seminal moment in music. When it was released in the mid 70s, no one was playing like this! Easily the most recognized and inspirational solo in rock music.
Late 70s (1978)... 8)
The greatness of Eddie is that he was very very humble, he knew he was leaving a legacy, but never he felt himself more than other guitarrist. R.I.P. EDDIE, we already miss you a lot.
amen 🙏
'Shredding' and 'Tapping' became such a signature of metal over the coming decades, that it's easy to forget they didn't really exist in rock music before Eddie arrived. In his own way, he revolutionized the sound.
Oh Eddie my heart is broken and always will be. We lost a true Legend 💔 rest in Rock King
"How many hands does he have?".......that's hysterical. I have seen hundreds of reactors doing this clip and have NEVER heard somebody put it that way.
Faking an ear-gasm is unneeded when it comes to EVH.
This "solo" is basically comprised of most of his iconic solos or intros from his entire catalog. The ACTUAL "Eruption" is cut #2 on Van Halen's first album and is attached to the cover of The Kinks' "You Really Got Me" (worth a reaction vid, for sure!).
Great vid, you guys!
Hey girls,
This is actually a big medley off his guitar solos, there are parts from Eruption, Spanish Fly, Mean Streets, 316 (which is a kind of lullaby he wrote for his son when he was born) and other songs (I'm not totally familiar with VH discography), there also might be a few improvised parts. The story of Eruption is that he was early in the studio when they were recording their debut album and he improvised that as a warm up, the sound enginneer hear it and was like "hey let's put this on the album !!!" \m/
Also, you probably heard "Jump" as well (at least the intro), it's one of these songs everyone heard but noone knows who it's from :)
Otherwise, I highly suggest "Hot For Teacher" which has the sickest intro ever, or Mean Streets which is groovy af.
And Eddy was the biggest guitar influence of Dimebag from Pantera \m/ Rip Eddie
Thanks for the info! That's actually pretty cool :) this solo was amaziiiing :)
Excellent notice. We saw this. We could not avoid this. We have to accept it. It sucks. Period.
@@TwoSistersReact - The solos are divided like this:
- Right stage = 316 and part 1 of Eruption
- Center stage = Part 2 of Eruption and Cathedral
- Left stage = Mean Street's intro and part 1 of Spanish Fly (electric version, the original was played in a classical guitar with nylon strings)
- Right stage = Part 2 of Spanish Fly
@@TwoSistersReact definitely check out Jump by VH 😎👍🏽
Do you understand that he is the only guitarist to ever make uh his guitar sound like a violin or cello with how he used the control knobs on his guitar?? NOW THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!
yes that and he also controlled the amount of voltage coming to his rig so he used what is known as a "VAR-AC" means variable Alternating Current. bringing the 110 to 89 the sweet spot where his playing became dirty.
thank you for posting brothers and sisters I am missing this legend in a profound manner that has rocked us all who loved him his music his band forever.
Not to mention the Horse and the Elphant and the wolf. FUCKING GUINNESS. POUR ME ONE FOR EDDIE.
Listen to electric reflection of war frank marino
@@markavell7111 the elephant is epic 🤟
The technique/effect is called volume swell. It’s not that difficult but it’s Genius.
This song inspired me to be a guitarist, and probably many others too, and after all that time playing guitar I still could not fully learn this song main part becuz of the advanced techniques he revolutionised, I'm still a little struck from his death but he will live on thru all of us🎸🔥🤘♥️💯
If you play half as good as Eddie I'd say you're a very accomplished guitarist.
Gone nvr forgotten
The absolute greatest smile in Rock for sure.
Most your age have no idea the impact this man and band had on music and guitar playing during the late 70's, 80's, and early 90's. Revolutionized is an understatement. Thank you for spending time with this genius.
And he always did it with a smile on his face. RIP, Eddie,
I'm 56 years old and have been listening to Van Halen since their fist album back in the 70s. It brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eye to see you both enjoy the music I grew up on . Eddie Van Halen may be gone from us , but with help from people like you two his music will live forever. Many thanks to the both of you , and so many other reactors for doing what you do. 🤘🤘🤘
"I'm the One" from the 1st Van Halen album is a must-listen.
The part when the lights go blue behind him is one of the greatest things you will ever witness. He plays the guitar with the volume knob, not the strings. It is manual tremolo, and is one of the hardest things to do well on a guitar.
Part of Eddie’s mastery of the guitar was his capturing of harmonics. He didn’t invent it but he mastered it. You can hear the use of harmonics in the Don Felder solo on the Eagles Hotel California which came out about 3 years before Van Halen’s first album. But what Eddie did was capture them into actual notes, not just accents on a note. Harmonics are the natural vibration guitar strings always have even just sitting on the table doing nothing. The air makes them vibrate at a very small, delicate frequency. You can’t hear them unless you turn an amplifier up LOUD!!!! And that’s what Eddie did - he was the first to turn an amp up louder than it could go from the factory by using an external power supply to boost the power going into it from the wall. The volume knob goes up to 10, but He once said “when Spinal Tap was going up to 11 I was already going up to 15”. He boosted that power so all those tiny harmonics came through then played with them. It was revolutionary what he did.
Therapist: where did the bad man touch you?
Guitar: he touched me everywhere. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
That was awesome
@Rob Rand Guitar: I was just pulling a few strings
Simply the Elvis of guitar playing, guitar and amp sound, and guitar and amp innovation! The best there ever was, or ever will be. RIP Eddie...........
Goosebumps and SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE.. Thanks for the ride E.V.H God Speed.
I feel like weeping-when an artist dies,who was part of your youth,through music you really appreciate,concerts attended,etc it leaves even more profound memories,plus he was 64,still kicking ass,active. He had many more years to live.
R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen
I'm going to MISS this Man, but we still have the Music☹️👊🙏
So glad I grew up listening to Eddie in those early Van Halen days 🤘
That’s what pure natural talent , combined with skill gives you. R.I.P. EVH. True legend gone but never to be forgotten.
Eddie Van Halen was a guitarist like no other.When i was teenager I played drums and my room was filled with pictures of cars, drummers, and one guitarist and his name was Eddie Van Halen! He made that guitar make notes that i had never heard before it was amazing and inspiring to say the least.Eddie was a technician he took his guitars and his amp's apart and made them sound the way he wanted them to sound! He was a true master at his craft and he will be truly missed! R.I.P. Edward Van Halen
That's amazing!
It is so fun to watch peoples facial expressions as there brain tries to process it all . Eddie was the first at many new things and a true legend and KING of the hammer ons . I was lucky enough to catch Van Halen twice live in the 80,s and they were SO good ! Just awesome to see younger generations discover this man and his many talents .. RIP Eddie you will be missed Sir ! Great reaction !
When the one sister says wow in the middle of the eruption part. Made me come to tears.
Remember listening to this as a teenager back in 70's. Having my mind blown listening to Eruption. Glad you two enjoyed this. What an incredible talent he was. RIP Eddie.
Here's a tidbit of yumminess for you two: Eddie was drunk during this performance and he said later on, that he had no memory of doing it, that's how good Eddie is! He opens the solo with "3:16," which is a lullaby he wrote for his so9n, Wolfgang, after he was born. He throws in snippets of some of his other guitar solos from other albums, such as "Cathedral," "Spanish Fly," "Little Guitars," and "Eruption," along with some Bach and Mozart even. Yesh, he was classically trained. The guitar he is playing here is the "5150," Kramer guitar, which looks similar to the Frankenstrat guitar he uses as well.
Thanks for the info :)
Classically trained on piano but not guitar.....He admits he could never read music on paper.
@@andrewgarin2486 When Eddie was learning to play the piano, he would watch the teacher and he learned to play by ear, which is how I play keyboards.
I always wondered if he was drunk or high in this because he played so well in this concert. But reading books about them and interviews with Eddie, even he admits that he can't remember these years or details because when they were at the top of their game, he was trashed a lot of the time.
3:16 was written and played waaaay before Wolfgang was born... But named it after Wolgangs birthdate after Wolfgang was born.
Magic isn't the word. He was well WELL beyond his time. It's beyond incredible what he could do with a guitar. ❤
It's raw talent, like no other guitarist has ever been or never will be again 💯
When I was in high school, I would watch this solo over and over. Back then (in the 80's)...it was on VHS tape. I watched it so many times, it actually started to damage the video tape. But Eddie, was the inspiration for me to pick up the guitar. 35 years later, I'm still rocking with Van Halen...and always will. Glad to see the younger generation discovering the brilliance of, Eddie Van Halen. =\//-/=🎸🤟🎶🎵
Loved your reactions and watching this video, which was the first time I watched him play live when I decided as a young teenager that I wanted to learn how to play guitar. Miss my original guitar hero...RIP
Eddie was the best guitar player of all time , no doubt. He was also THE GUITAR PLAYER of all guitar players. Almost everyone mentions him as an influence on their guitar playing , myself included.
RIP Eddie Van Halen
@Bob Sebring and Eddie blows him away.
I was very privileged to be able to see Eddie and Van Halen perform on everyone of their tours from 1979-2015… Some of the pieces that are in this guitar solar which was from a show in 1986 are for guitar solos that he did on different albums but it is all put together in one long phenomenal guitar solo along with some other pieces thrown in…. He was amazing to watch and you did use the right word Eargasm… He is one of the best guitarists of all time…RIP EVH
Yes he mesmerized and brought healing with his music.
First heard Van Halen in 1978. Went to 4 of their concerts. Eddie always had his moment to shine with his guitar, and was always amazing, just like he is here. Such a loss.
The start of the solo makes me tear up now..
I remember listening to this and other Van Halen songs wile lifting waits and playing high school baseball. The 80s were by far the best ever. Rock on Eddie, Your fans miss you.
@5:45 That's respect. Thank you for showing the respect this man deserves. Peace 7 Love
This is a series of solos Eddie recorded on his early albums with exception of 316 (his sons birthday) which was not recorded on an album until 1991. The solos are as follows:
316 - beginning
Eruption - when drums come in and on right side of stage
Cathedral - middle of the stage
Mean Street & Spanish Fly - left side of the stage
Outro - middle of the stage
Solos are in the moment and deserving. Also a great moment for singer and other members to take a break and let the one member keep the show going
Whether you like their songs or not, you can't deny the talent and virtuosity that Eddie brought to the table. The man is a legend and in my opinion, is on the Mount Rushmore of greatest guitarists of ALL TIME! It's hard to say this person or that person is the greatest because musical styles and eras of music when one person might be the dominant player can be so different but Eddie deserves to be up there in the same tier as Hendrix, Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn (a few others probably as well). Eddie didn't invent the techniques used in his playing but he damn sure improved and expanded on them and took them to another level. I think that's what separates the great guitar players from the legendary ones; the ability to push the boundaries of the era forward to create a style or sound or technique that no one has heard and/or seen before. Van Halen isn't my favorite band but I did listen to them a lot during my childhood and into my teen years and Eddie always had my attention when I would hear them on the radio or see them on MTV. As sad as his passing is, I'm so glad that it's bringing to light his talent to people who otherwise would have never known just how good this man was. Loved watching your reactions to this!
You ladies are lovely. Thx for reacting to this legend. Eddie Van Halen. Thank you.
I took my son to see them live in 2015 as a 12yrold, and he was made a lifelong fan since then! I know you guys will be too.
Outstanding reaction !! Rock on sisters
Both of you are sweet Quebecois 🇨🇦🤘
Thanks!!🤟
Young sisters,this what a true guitar rock GOD SOUNDS LIKE, keep on exploring, sisters.
I love their reactions. I learned every lick he ever played over the course of the 40 years i have played, ill.see you again maestro!
It’s like a volcano about to explode, it starts like a little rumble and lava is brewing, and wham! Eruption, the song is so awesome
It blows the classical and rock music out your gut man he was and always will be forever the number 1 guitar god in my book man!!!
The beginning of the solo was a bit he created on acoustic guitar. This was filmed in '86. 5 years later in 1991 Eddie's son, Wolfgang, would be born and Eddie would play this for him at bedtime every night. He would title it "316" for his son's birthday and would record it for inclusion on the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge album later that same year.
Right after the opening he goes into his signature guitar solo and the most famous guitar solo in the history of hard rock, Eruption. It was recorded for their '78 debut album and radio stations played it as a lead-in to "You Really Got Me", as it was on the album. The first half of it he plays while still up on the riser; the other half he plays down on the main stage.
It's really hard to try and explain how much Eddie was looked up to by people of my generation(I was born in 1963). He was an idol to a lot of us b/c we had never heard _ANYONE_ play guitar like this guy. It's another sad day for rock & roll. Also, it's kind of ironic that the first image of him in this video, he has a cigarette hanging on his lip, since he passed away from throat cancer. I had throat cancer myself and had to have my voice box removed. I smoked for about 30 years and had just stopped about 5 years before my diagnosis.
Eruption was a guitar solo on the 1st album, this expands around that original piece of work, and there are other moments that appear on other albums, but there's always extra stuff that changes night to night.
The first time her did this, he did it as a complete improve but it so popular that was a prat of every show he was in. Ladies, no shit, he was a guitar GOD
Eddie van Halen rip..........been listen to ur muzic since I was a kid.........from dis day I still listen to ur muzic........I would have to say from dis day it wouldn't been for my dad to getting me into it for sure.........still loving ur muzic.........
Great reaction. If you check out more VH you will be amazed. Not only was EVH a technically proficient and brilliant guitarist, he was also a prolific composer. You got just a small taste of several VH riffs in this solo. Over the 40+ years that Van Halen has been making music there are countless riffs and solos, all different but all with a clearly EVH stamp on them. He was also an innovator and inventor, having built his own guitars to achieve a specific sound and there is even equipment he invented and has a patent on that enables him to make some of the different sounds you heard in this solo. The entire band are badass. His brother on the drums is without a doubt one of the greatest rock drummers around and the bassist is not only great on his instrument, but he is credited with the very iconic VH backing vocals along with Eddie. To truly appreciate them, you've got to check them out as a unit. VH had two vocalists, so you may want to start with the older stuff with David Lee Roth and then move onto vocalist #2, Sammy Hagar. Since you know Panama, I would say Hot for Teacher is a good choice.
Awesome thanks !! We'll definitely be checking out more songs from VH♥️
Eddie Van Halen he will always be remembered as the Johann Sebastian Back of the electric guitar. Just like back then, he lifts us up to heaven with his musical majesty, and now he does it on the great heavenly stage.
RIP: 1955 - 2020 See you forever master😔🤘
Did you notice the guitar pic broke and he just tossed it into the crowd and just grabbed another one from his guitar without missing a note!!!!!
ROCK IN PEACE EDDIE VAN HALEN.....
1 of you said it best when you said it was magic. That man had kept me out of a lot of trouble because I picked up a guitar instead of what other kids my age were picking up. It was an absolute experience to see you play. All hail King Edward. RiP. 🤘🎸
Loved this!!! To answer your question, solos CAN be improvised or they can be from feeling and intuition or can be figured out in advance. I think you ladies would really enjoy Spanish Fly or Jump
Thanks for the info :)
You're so welcome :)
We will miss you Eddie VanHalen thankyou for your great solos Eruption in my opinion is the hardest ever and thankyou for VanHalen 1 thru 84 that kept America up there with all the great overseas bands VanHalen PorVida !
Eddie is the GOAT. No if’s ands or buts about it. It is undeniable.
Best guitarist ever, I would say tied first with Jimi Hendrix and that solo was a mix of improv at the beginning and the end the middle was on the original track, RIP GOAT EVH🔥🤘♥️💯
Best is subjective, but Eddie is definitely one of my favorites
I welcome you both to the world of pure genius and god level talent.
I'm glad you appreciate his talent
He truly was among the greatest.
Beautiful sisters. Enjoyed watching you reacting to a great solo from a great guitarist
It is mostly composed. Listen to the studio tracks for "Eruption", "Spanish Fly", "Cathedral"' and the intro to "Mean Street" and you will hear all of the major parts of this solo. The stuff he does between these sections are probably improvised. You will also hear deviations from the studio versions of these solos in his live performances. I grew up with Eddie - I started playing guitar the year Van Halen I came out. Watching you see this for the first time brings me right back to my early teens when I couldn't believe what I was hearing and had no idea how he was playing this stuff. I had to wait for 4 years before I got to see Eddie live. Man, I wish there was UA-cam back then! Loved your reactions!
Great reaction to a guitar legend thanks 🙏
Eddie was like Jimi Hendrix, they didn't just play guitar they made love to it and it answered back. Both true pioneers in their own right. DAMNNNN is right girls you are experiencing greatness. Eargasm is right. Also most if not all of Eddie's live solos came from the heart and soul and he just played to what he felt at the time. And when he looks at the crowd as if to ask "ohhhhh you like that? Well here then....." priceless. PLEEEEASE if you truly enjoyed this then check out Hendrix rendition of The Star Spangled Banner done at Woodstock '69. Truly epic. RIP EDDIE and JIMI.
Eddie put his guitar in Dimebag's(Pantera)coffin when he died he said Dimebag was an original #eddiebestever🎸#rip
I'm pretty sure this means Dimebag has to be *(cough cough)* _BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE_ get his guitar and put it on Eddie's grave.
Might be wrong
Eddie has a like a million guitars. The one he put in with DBD was one known as "the Bumble Bee".
Sister on the left is absolutely gorgeous!!
“Wait!...How’s he doing that?!?”. That’s what we all said when we first heard Eddie back in the late 70s too. He had that effect on everybody I guess.
Live solos can be improvised or changed depending on the the mood of the guitarist. That's one of the best things about live rock. Live shows can be the same , but different. You two are beautiful. 🤘🤘🤘
Eddie's concert solo is a compillation of various solos he's recorded over the years. Some of the individual solos were recorded for inclusion on albums while others were intros to songs not on that evening's setlist. For example, the opening of this solo didn't have an official name at the time of this recording in 1986. 5 years later Eddie would name it "316" for his son's birthday who was born that year and would also include it on the CD they released later that year. The slap technique you saw was the intro for the song "Mean Street" from the 1981 Fair Warning album. Mean Street is the first track on that CD, so the first thing you hear when you hit "play" is that solo and then the song. The part he played right after this was a freestyle bit that he took from his "tabletop" solo from the previous tour in 1984. Interestingly, he would revisit this solo bit again and modify it to be used for the solo in a song called "Judgement Day" on the '91 For Unlawful Carnal Knowlwdge album. A final example is the solo he played with the volume knob. That's a standalone solo called "Cathedral" from the '82 Diver Down album. There are also other little bits and pieces in this solo, like the few bars he plays of Cream's "I'm So Glad."
As for real freestyling, Eddie stopped doing much of that as the years went by, opting instead to just do an extended solo. In the old days, once or twice a show, Eddie and his brother, (drummer) Alex Van Halen, would just stretch out and start wailing for 7-8 minutes during the solo part in the song. They stopped doing that after a while because no one would know when they were ready to get back to finishing playing the song.
In the words of EVH, NEVER STOP PRACTICING
One of the greatest to ever pick a string....RIP Eddie Van Halen.
EVH lives!!!!!!!!!!
From 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
(Viva Chile!!) ⚡👊🏻⚡
Loved your statement "I like it so much he's got me speaking Spanish".
2nd time, same video. Love you , ladies, loving on Eddie. Thank you ❤️
R.I.P. to 1 of the pioneers of our generation
I'm so proud that Eddie and Alex were born in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) 😺. They moved to the states when they were teenagers. Van Halen is our biggest musical export product.
This solo is called "Eruption" and the more melodic part is from another solo called "Cathedral" and the third more percussive part on this live version is the introduction of the song "Mean Street" and he improvises and incorporates these three solo pieces of music in this Live version of the Eruption solo...
Eruption was their intro for their cover version of “You really Got me” on their debut album.
You allmost cry when you listen to this masterpiece of eddie’s eruption , fan more than 40 years and their Music and eddie’s guitar , wauuu
At the beginning is from the CD For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge called 316 and is his Son Wolfgang's birthday What he starts playing at about 12:04 is called Cathedral from Diver Down.
Great Reaction Ladies. R.I.P. EVH a guitar master!
You Ladies should react to another music legend/song writer Who just recently passed away also, Mac Davis. The songs “Baby don’t get hooked on Me” or “Texas in my rear view Mirror”
In all honesty, I wasn't a big Van Halen fan, but I did know and listen to a few songs. No one solos anymore like this. Nowadays its mostly noise or bits from other peoples songs. This solo is truly unique and inspirational. Long Live Eddie Van Halen. 🤘💜🤘 Rest In Peace EVH!
Check out Mean Street...it highlights the band as a whole.
I'm glad you ladies enjoyed this. My rock and roll hero was and always will be Edward Van Halen. I had the opportunity to see Eddie 5 times in my younger years. The first time I seen Van Halen live Eddie was 25 and I was 16 and he was the greatest! You could literally feel the harmonic motion moving through your body no joke! In 1981 I went deaf for 3 days I wouldn't trade it for the world!
When you hear him play, it's like listening to a whole orchestra. Grew up with this band and it is like a time Machine when certain song are being played and it just takes me back to a great time in my life, my youth. RIP Eddie. See you on the other side. Peace.
6:34 When we heard eruption when it first came out we had the very same reaction you two just had. The album version is very different but still makes me feel invincible for some reason when I listen to it.
This solo is a compilation of several pieces he played on different albums.
There was everybody else.....and then there was "King Edward!" Long live the King and R.I.P. to the best ever.
This performance is loosely based on a song called Eruption from the 1978 album "Van Halen" and some other Van Halen songs too. (I was 10 years old)
Eruption was one of the songs that people back in the day freaked out about because no one had ever heard anything like it.
This solo and his playing on other tunes turned Eddie Van Halen into an international superstar and I'm sure you can hear/see why.
Thats guitar technique revolution right there. Eddie added so many standard metal playstyles to the genre, its insane.
He originally played this way in in 78!!!! Was WTH to people then
I was 24 when the album 84 came out and You ladies said it magic
MIND BLOWN!!!! Truly one of the best to ever do it. R.I.P. Fun Fact (that everyone probably already knows): Eddie Van Halen played guitar on the Michael Jackson Classic "Beat It".
Not to be that guy but he "only" played the solo, Steve Lukather from Toto played the rest of the guitar parts. :)
@@Qyngali Went back and looked it up and your right. Thanks for the correction :)
God bless Eddie and all his contributions to the music world and the Universe.
