"Eruption" is more than just a guitar solo; it's a seismic event in the history of rock music. Composed and performed by the virtuoso guitarist Eddie Van Halen, this iconic instrumental piece revolutionized the way the guitar was played and perceived, cementing Van Halen's status as one of the most influential bands of all time.
Clocking in at just over a minute and a half, "Eruption" packs more intensity, innovation, and sheer skill into its brief duration than many full-length songs. Released on Van Halen's self-titled debut album in 1978, the solo immediately captured the attention of listeners and fellow musicians alike, propelling Eddie Van Halen into the stratosphere of guitar hero status.
At its core, "Eruption" is a showcase of Eddie's unparalleled technical prowess and creativity. The solo begins with a blistering flurry of notes, demonstrating his lightning-fast fingers and impeccable precision. But what truly sets "Eruption" apart is not just its speed, but the groundbreaking techniques that Eddie introduced to the world of guitar playing.
One of the most iconic elements of "Eruption" is Eddie's pioneering use of two-handed tapping. By tapping the strings with both hands on the fretboard, Eddie was able to produce lightning-fast runs and cascading arpeggios that were previously thought impossible on the guitar. This innovative technique opened up new possibilities for guitarists everywhere and became a hallmark of Eddie Van Halen's signature sound.
But "Eruption" is more than just a technical showcase; it's also a masterclass in tone and expression. From the soaring harmonics to the aggressive palm-muted riffs, Eddie's guitar tone is instantly recognizable and oozes with attitude and swagger. Every note is played with conviction and emotion, making "Eruption" not just a display of skill, but a deeply personal expression of Eddie's musical soul.
Beyond its technical brilliance, "Eruption" has had a lasting impact on generations of guitarists who have sought to emulate Eddie's iconic style. Countless aspiring musicians have spent hours painstakingly learning every nuance of the solo, hoping to capture just a fraction of Eddie's magic.
But perhaps the most remarkable thing about "Eruption" is its timeless appeal. Nearly half a century after its release, the solo still sounds as fresh, exciting, and boundary-pushing as ever. It's a testament to Eddie Van Halen's genius and enduring legacy that "Eruption" continues to inspire and captivate listeners to this day.
In summary, "Eruption" is not just a guitar solo; it's a seismic force that forever altered the landscape of rock music. With its groundbreaking techniques, blistering speed, and timeless appeal, it stands as a testament to the unparalleled talent and innovation of Eddie Van Halen, ensuring that his legend will live on for generations to come. - Розваги
THESE GUYS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!
You've now been baptized by the guitar god. Congrats. Welcome.
The G.O.A.T. Period !!
I remember seeing him do this when I was 17 years old outdoors in Tampa. What an amazing night. RIP to the GOAT Eddie.
I took seen them off this tour. 3 nights in a row in Detroit.
I was only 14 but it was a high school backyard party in Pasadena in 1976. He was just as amazing then. The final performance I attended was the US Festival in 83.
Eddie was self taught guitarist. Both he and I older brother were taught to play the piano as small children but when they moved to the United States as teenagers they saw the Dave Clark 5 and they fell in love with rock and roll. Alex, Eddie's older brother had a flaminco guitar but Eddie wanted it play the drums so he went and bought a drum set and while he was out delivering news papers to pay for the drum set Alex was back home teaching himself the drums and when Eddie finally paid off the drums Alex much better so he gave him the drums and took his guitar and started to teach himself how to t. When they decide to start a band Eddie did not have the money to buy a guitar that he could play rock and roll so he found a guitar body blanks that a guitar manufacturer through out because it had to many flaws in it so he took it found a second hand neck and his found a used amp and pick ups from the different guitars that he liked the sound of and pull them in his "guitar". Eddie was a musical savant/genius/inventor and all around nice guy. He invented a totally new way of playing the guitar and no one had ever seen or experienced before. In the late 70's I was as If he came from another planet. With finger speed and sounds that no one had ever heard before. He did things that seemed impossible and because he didn't have the money to buy all of the two trick electronic device that other people had he had to figure out how to do the same, types of things with his fingers and tricks that he had discovered. In the late 70's GUITAR MAGAZINE called Eddie ""THE GUITAR GOD!!!" You can see why after you watch this video . His son was taught how to play by his father and and can play just like him. Besides play the drums like his uncle as well as bass that he played in the band with his father and his is his uncle. The drumming that is playing at the end of Eddie's solo is his older brother Alex. They never played without each other. When Eddie died in 2020 Alex stopped playing because he so that it wasted fun without Ed. Eddie Van Halen is considered by most people as "THE GOAT" when it comes to the guitar. I suggest that you dive down the VAN HALEN rabbit hole with both feet.
"Legend has it"
Eddie is NOT the guitar G.O.A.T. by a long shot. I am a big Van Halen fan but I’m also a collector and connoisseur of Rock Music for over 50 years and listen to thousands of great musicians. Eddie is too one dimensional. I’ve never heard Eddie make his guitar cry and sing with heart and soul like Michael Schenker, Gary Moore, David Gilmore, Vito Bratta, Richie Kotzen, Nuno Bettencourt, Adrian Vandenberg and a slew of others. And Eddie never invented the tapping technique.
The guy at the link below supposedly invented the tapping technique in 1965 and I’m not 100% sure that he was the first.

5:55 Everyone's favourite part!
9:42 - is pretty amazing too.
@@fs.. Every moment is amazing... But the tapping part is just iconic
Yes! Since the first time I watched him do that at a backyard party in 76 and every performance since, that part gives me chills and I still consider it the most beautiful piece ever performed on a guitar.
Yea, but not me, i love other parts way more and that part at 5:55 is the only part i can play hahaha
I remember my Father trying to explain what hearing Van Halen and Eddie doing stuff like this was like when it was brand new. My Father despite being born in the 1950s didn't really start really following music until the 1970s with bands/artists like The Who, The Eagles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, The Scorpions, and Deep Purple. He was also aware of stuff like Jimmy Hendrix and Black Sabbath and so on.
He figured going into the 80s he had heard pretty much everything and every style you could do with an electric guitar. Then Van Halen happened and my Dad couldn't believe what he was hearing. The way he described it to me it wasn't like it was so much better than anything he'd ever heard so much as playing the guitar like this was simply unfathomable.
FIRST VAN HALEN?. YOUR NEVER GOING TO RUN OUT OF GREAT SONGS TO REVIEW!
Really which one would you recommend as the next reaction?
Original Eruption/ You Really Got Me
@@jimmiewyatt6819 And play it LOUD!!!
Often Imitated but Never Ever Duplicated!
you got nothing ever shorted from the Master of the Strings 🎸🎶 RIP Eddie
And the Oscar goes to.....
The greatest of all time. You should listen to some of their studio songs. Incredible music
I was lucky enough to see them 3 times. RIP EVH.
Love your reaction. He was one of the greatest. Read about him. He was an inventer.
I watched Eddie perform Eruption for my first time at a backyard party in Pasadena back in 1976. It changed my entire perception of rock guitar playing and consider the part at 5:55 to be the most beautiful guitar moment I've ever heard. I've seen Eruption many times live since including the farewell Pasadena Civic concert in 78 and the US Festival performance in 83. It just kept getting better and longer. Eddie is the best guitarist in my lifetime and was loved by many. May he R.I.P.
Yes, Eddie was and will always be one of the greatest guitarist in the world. You should check out Roy Clark. Without him we would never have had Eddie.
Roy Clark, Jim Stafford, Glenn Campbell, and Jerry Reed are all some of the best guitarists ever! Eddie could never play some of the stuff these guys did. Sorry. Eddie was pretty much a one trick pony and people seem to want to give him credit for inventing the “trick”, tapping, which he did not, and I’m a big fan of Van Halen. 😂
This guy invented the tapping technique in 1965.

I like how you make this a spiritual moment! I remember when I first heard Eddie in the late 70s.. I know this was a game changer
Lucky enough to see them 33 times!
GOAT
Do the same eddie solo but 30 years later .At 60 years old in Tokyo Dome ,AMAZING!
My man was not ready😂😂
Awesome reaction!✌🎸🤘❤❤👍👍👍
Thank you!!
YES!!! You ARE a guitar man! RIP LEGEND.
Ofcourse I am!!
Eddie also made his own guitars
Your questions are the same ones that we have been asking since 1978, when Van Halen's first album came out.
Came to America with his family after WWII. Couldn't speak English, built his own guitars and never learned to read music. Was classically trained pianist as a child
"Always stay hydrated" 😆
Yes
I am looking forward to your reaction to VAN HALEN's song "POUNDCAKE". You will love it! Eddie uses an electric drill to play his guitar!!0😮😲😲
Dimebag Darrell's idol.. Buried with Eddie's guitar.
Edward Van Halen!!!!!!
Not from this planet!!! Incredible
The only thing missing now is for you to listen to an early Van Halen song from their debut album 👍👍😁😁🎸🎸 ' Ain't talking bout love ' is such a baddass song...but the whole album is fire. Fyi Eddie Van Halen is the guitarist & his brother Alex is (was ) the drummer.👍👍
Seen the 5150 tour, The Omni, Atlanta 1986, twice after that.
I had a big crush on Eddie Van Halen!! That smile turns me into a gob of goo! 🫠 Love this band but I do prefer Sammy Hagar as the frontman!! Eddie & Queen’s guitarist Brian May did a project together called Star Fleet! ⭐️ Anyway, the Van Halen family immigrated from the Netherlands settling in Pasadena, California. 🌈☀️🌷🍃
There is a few trolls on here saying eddie isnt the greatest. Apparently they dont get out much!😅
GOAT . Rest in Peace ....Edward the Great
WHAT A STAR!!
He's unreal man
which song would you recommend next?
Drop Dead Legs or Hot For Teacher
@@theneverenderreacts 'Me Wise Magic'
Song by Van Halen
you should check out buckethead jordan live, it to is a guitar solo that out of this world. being a hug evh fan, buckethead might be better, or just as good as eddy.
It's good but take it easy bro..
I love Eddie….. but just because you can shred does not make you the greatest guitar player ever. Even in an interview he was asked “ how does it feel to be the greatest guitar player ever?” His response was “ I don’t know. Go ask Alex Lifeson.”
More urban legend lies!
I was pressed up against the stage right in front of Eddie in 1980 at their concert in Salina, Kansas. Van Halen has always been a top tier group in my opinion. Eddie however is NOT even close to the best guitarist ever. I absolutely HATE when people put out these “Best 100, or whatever number, guitarists, vocalists, drummers, etc. lists.”! There are MANY great musicians/singers out there that one is as great as the next. I put mine on tiers or levels according to their talent. Eddie was too one dimensional. I never heard him make his guitar sing or cry with heart and soul like Michael Schenker, Gary Moore, David Gilmore, Richie Kotzen, John Petrucci, Adrian Vandenberg, and many others.
hahaha, ok hold on, Eddie's good, BUT first check this little girl out she was around 14 or 15 when she did this----"Tina S Beethovens Moonlight Sonata (third Movement)"
First off Eddie is GREAT AND AN ORIGINAL TALENT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE,COPYING SOMEONE TAKES TALENT BEING AN ORIGINAL TALENT IS A GIFT EDDIE COULD PLAY 3 NOTES AND YOU KNOW ITS HIM ,SORRY

Dope kills!😅
