Van Halen - Eruption (Stylophone cover)

You can support me on Ko-fi

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.

*Thank you for taking guitar music to a whole new level Eddie. RIP*

This is the Eruption cover I had no idea my life needed. 10/10.

[AstroDenny]

Eddie was all about breaking ground and creating ways to do things nobody has done. In a lot of ways, this is the most fitting tribute to EVH I've seen. Very well done.

[Rico_]

He did it. The madman actually did it.

[yaguarete]

No, you're not making fun of the song. Any cover with a different instrument is not necessarily a mock. It just depends on how it's done, I mean, what's the intention behind it. And I can see how hard it is not just covering this very song, but to do it with Stylophones. The part in which you turn over one of them to move some knob underneath is critical, as the pencil may lose contact with the conducting surface, and that would cut off all the magic. It's incredible! Great job, man!

This dude apologizing for *making mistakes while trying to play Eruption on two Stylophones!* Give yourself a break, it was awesome!

[Skelly]

Dude, you don't need to apologize for a thing. This was such an inventive and heartwarming tribute to our fallen guitar hero. I'm sure Eddie would have had a big smile on his face if he had heard this. Kudos to you, Maromaro. You did everything just right and RIP to you, Eddie Van Halen. Thank you for all the great music and inspiring guitar playing over the years. You rocked us like nobody else could.

I was a little skeptical of it all, till it got to the 'tapping' part at the end. Bravo! I'm certain Eddie would have loved it.

"The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
And he laid 2 golden Stylophones on the ground at MaroMaro's feet."

[gokberk]

my man just did a fucking dive bomb on a stylophone

[XTRMNTRK]

A master of the stylophone pays homage to a master of the guitar. A fitting tribute.

[alexmurphy]

Dude that dive think it cured my depression

[Pensfan]

Incredibly inventive way to pay respect to one of the best ever. RIP EVH

[Jimifan]

Van Stylen for the win... This was pretty amazing.

[stuartk]

It's a shame Eddie didn't hear this version before he passed away. He would have been stoked 👍😀

[thwipp]

VH has been my fave band since 1984. this blew me away!

[dragoon]

Good job. Seriously I didn't think eruption was possible.

[MattSofianosGuitar]

Unparalleled. One of the best things I’ve seen in a long time.

[YesThatDan]

Dude, don't apologize. This was breathtaking and heartwarming. It would have made Eddie smile. Keep on.
