VAN HALEN's "Eruption" on a Stylophone Is Fantastic

"I'm heartbroken because one of my guitar idols is dead."

YouTube and stylophone player maromaro1337 has paid proper tribute to Van Halen guitarist Eddie Van Halen with this killer cover of "Eruption". According to maromaro1337, their cover had to be cut into three parts to cover everything Eddie was doing.

"I know that some of you may think that I'm doing a lame parody of this song or poking fun at Eddy… But no, actually I'm heartbroken because one of my guitar idols is dead. I did this because nobody else would do it on this instrument and I think that it's somewhat a breakthrough to play this piece on the Stylophone. I know that the last parts are a bit sloppy but seriously it couldn't be done better… So, sorry for some mistakes here and there, have fun watching my tribute to one of the greatest guitar players on the planet.

"Ps, I know that it's probably one of the weirdest tributes to a guitar master but what can I do?

"It's cut into three parts because I had to tune the Stylophones differently for every part of this solo."
