45 Years Of 'Eruption'

So this is killer: Wolfgang Van Halen wailing on "Eruption" to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the song. It's hard to believe that Eddie Van Halen recorded the groundbreaking guitar solo-signature track five decades ago.

Wolfgang has major talent, no doubt about that. Also no doubt that Eddie was his father. Amazing.

In honor of Eruption being recorded 45 years ago today, here’s me playing part of it on the guitar it was recorded on in 2015 while tracking some guitars for the first @MammothWVH album.
