Since the passing of Eddie Van Halen there has been a lot of tributes coming out, but nothing like this one that Neno Bettencourt shared last week…
Someone named maromaro1337 on Youtube did an unbelieve cover of Van Halen using a Stylophone as a tribute to Eddie.
Neno shared it on Facebook and said:
“Hey… there are some great guitar tributes out there celebrating Edward Van Halen And I’m sure there will be more coming.
But I am sharing this one because I know that Edward would have loved this version… because this is as innovative as EVH he was.
I know for a fact that He’d watch this over and over with his lovable 3 mile smile across his face.
Yes… playing it on guitar is challenging enough … but fuck me… pulling this shit off on a Stylophone is as creative as it gets.
maromaro1337… I applaud you for this very cool tribute to the GOAT”
Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio.
