Kevin Mazur/ParamountWolfgang Van Halen marked Thursday 9/8 45th anniversary of his dad Eddie Van Halen recording "Eruption" with a pretty cool video.
The clip is from 2015 and it shows Wolf playing "Eruption" on "Frankenstein," the guitar that his father recorded the song on.
Wolf writes, "On Van Halen 1, the guitar was tuned a half step down, but the song I was about to record was a full step down. Hence 'Eruption' being a half step down here. You can hear my hesitation before playing, and I almost decided to try and play it up one fret, but I ended up just playing in its normal position. I may have attempted to do that after this video at some point, though...
"I had used the Frankenstein on a couple tracks on the first Mammoth WVH album, and we were just having some fun before we started. I definitely plan on bringing it out again for the second album."
Immediately we started thinking about Wolfgang's tribute to his dad - have you seen THIS VIDEO?
