Van Halen - Eruption (Live at the Tokyo Dome 2013) [PROSHOT]

[@llcruize]

Eruption was a constant “in process” solo, he never really played it the same twice, always adding and tweaking it through the years.

[@jonahkleitsch7652]

It's a nightly check-up: Edward have you been suffered from extreme whammy bar-itis? how about mind shreddingly fast and inhumanly, perfectly accurate and creative extemporaneously created melodies? He's riddled with them

[@JohnAlbertRigali]

@llcruize It didn’t start out that way. I used to be acquainted with Mammoth’s other guitarist, who co-wrote “Eruption” with EVH. He showed me a crazy tablature transcription of it that really looked like it pre-dated the VH band. And that’s “Cathedral” (from “Diver Down”) inserted at 4:43.

I love you Eddie♥️ you hypnotize me Mi manchi .. I miss you really hard You are in my heart .. per sempre 💓💞 ♥️🕊️

[@darrencaschera-fh8rh]

Every time I hear Van Halen I listen to it on CD or it comes on the radio. I start bawling my eyes out. He's been dead 3 years now. October 6th it's coming up October 6th. I miss him. So does the whole world he had tongue cancer? He wouldn't stop smoking. He was the best in the world. I guess next to Hendrix I don't know. But still I mean I'm 58 years old. I live in South Florida. Big 106 is my station. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how old you are. You're human. He was so good. I've seen Eddie play so many times live in concert. It's so mesmerizing you just cry. You really do you cry cuz you're happy. You cry cuz you're sad. It's just there. This was our generation. I miss him terribly and so does the rest of his fans rest in peace Eddie, you will never ever be not missed!! I loved watching him play the guitar. You can't take your eyes off of him

[@phildixon8586]

Word fail so..... I will continue to listen ❤❤❤❤!!!

[@tommyandrews4992]

No one on the planet can ever repeat this solo!! RIP Eddie!!!

[@roguerage9328]

Love how the solo is like “ok internet, you all mastered my other stuff, so here, do this …. bitches” lol

[@goldenwolf8081]

The eruption solo had layers and 14 different chapters to it😂

[@rockinvida1960]

The one thing that stayed constant from his earliest bootleg recordings with VH to the reunion shows such as this one was his uncanny ability to play with such incredible accuracy and to stay in such good tune all the time.

[@Muddy_alex6850]

Yes sir!

[@jeff6317]

I came here to see how late-career Eddie Van Halen could pull off Eruption and left here with tears in my eyes. Very, very good and mind-blown tears in my eyes.

[@stagnantisolation]

I remember crying the day he passed away, just knowing everytime I heared something of his pushed me to play guitar even more. What a sad day it was, god may he rest in peace

[@spicoli3206]

Amen brother! I felt the same, miss him, the world just ain't the same!! 💪🎸🎼❤️‍🩹🙏🇺🇸🍻

[@joshlehman9644]

I feel the same way! Musician of 12 years and the Death of Eddie was tough as hell.

[@goldenwolf8081]

I was so shocked when my older brother told me eddie died, I had only heard his famous 13 long minute guitar solo in the 80s my dad though who is 59 grew up listening to Van Halen even playing the drums to there songs as he loved Alex the drummer and wanted to be like him in the 90s he was completely devastated.

I'm a guitar player and the minute I heard of his passing that very sad day i cried thinking we will never see someone so accomplished and so original ever again..RIP Eddie😢

[@doctorbarber1]

Getting to see Eddie lean, mean, and sober in his last years with us was truly a gift.

[@goldenwolf8081]

And here he also had his hair grown out just one more time like the 80s. This version of Eddie was truly the best sober, pretty healthy, happy and already a longtime legend in the rock and roll world!

[@Mark-bl7by]

RIP EVH. A true master of the guitar. I could watch him play all day and he made it look so effortless. One of a kind

[@danfitzpatrick4112]

Amazing what he endured , then Lost, then came back again! All of the guitarists from the era have today lost the drive. Ed did not! What a legacy he has left our Generation! Possibly the best he ever played. I'm sure he knew and gave it his all. No doubt

[@esjope]

I can think of a couple who haven't lost the drive, but most have, I agree.

The best guitarist i've ever heard or seen live and in person. I'm biased since i grew up with VH and they were a huge influence. I know there are some all-timers like Angus, Eric, Jimi, SRV, Prince and others but Eddie's my tops! There are no wrong answers, just different viewpoints. Thanks for the memories, boys!

[@Darekster]

When was the first time you ever heard Eruption? I was at a outdoor party and this came on, on a boombox and I could NOT believe what I was listening to!

[@benjaminsantiagosstuff]

I always wonder what it was like to hear this and/or hot for teacher on the radio when it came out. He still sounds like an alien igniting a firecracker to me, but with all this connection to rock/blues and fusion guitar....so awesome.
