I had posted something about the passing of Eddie Van Halen, and though Hot for Teacher is probably my favorite VH song, it didn’t really focus on the majesty of his guitar play.
Here is a more proper send of: Eruption, live.
May this music live on for the rest of time, because its amazing that a human can even control his limbs in this way and know what he is doing.
His guitar is literally smoking!
My favorite Van Halen songs were Jump and Dreams — absolutely magical back in the day. Majestic is the right word for Van Halen’s guitar style — the modern equivalent of the fugue — which made him almost peerless.
Another 80’s icon has passed away.
RIP
