A YouTuber who’s made a series of videos that show him performing classic-rock songs on Stylophones released his version of Eddie Van Halen’s signature solo track “Eruption.”
But MaroMaro1337 denied it was a joke, admitting it was “one of the weirdest tributes” to the late guitarist, whodiedon Oct. 6 after a cancer battle.
"I know that some of you may think that I'm doing a lame parody of this song or poking fun at Eddie,” he wrote on YouTube. “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.”
