Stuart real estate owners that love guitar agree that “Eruption” is Eddie Van Halen’s best tune from the band’s first record, 1978’s Van Halen. Created by the main man himself, the 2-minutes of electric riffs are considered among the most influential instrumentals of all time.

Hosting the party in his home for sale in Stuart, Henry Williams explained the unbelievable work stemmed from a number that he improvised during a stage warm-up. Stuart real estate owners learned that “Eruption” wasn’t even supposed to be a track on their debut album. Eddie was merely warming up in the studio early one day when producer Ted Templeman overheard his screams. Templeman loved it and demanded that they put the piece on record.

As far as most Stuart real estate owners are concerned, the song gained Van Halen their first recognition of several innovative and well-honed techniques. Eddie’s talent was proven with “Eruption,” where he was known to turn his back to the audience to prevent other guitarists from stealing his tricky moves.

Janet, a businesswoman with a few Stuart homes for sale claimed a Guitar World poll ranked Van Halen’s “Eruption” at #1 for guitar solos. Meanwhile, Q magazine placed the amazing guitar solo at #29 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. Of course, some Stuart real estate owners think it could sit at #2, just behind Jimi Hendrix’s “Star Spangled Banner” at Woodstock.

Sam, another member of the group with a Stuart luxury home said Eddie plays a 1950s’ Gibson humbucker pickup through a ‘60s’ Marshall Tube amp, a Univox echo box, and studio plate reverb to bring out the distinctive tone of the track. Just about every other Stuart real estate owner was impressed with Sam’s knowledge.

Sam continued teaching the other Stuart real estate owners. He said 1979’s Van Halen II features “Spanish Fly.” It’s an acoustic instrumental reminiscent of “Eruption,” with similar tremolo picking and finger tapping. But thanks to “Spanish Fly,” Eddie earned even more respect with the Stuart real estate owners.

The Stuart real estate owners watched a video on YouTube featuring “Eruption” during a live gig from 1998 in Toronto. Wearing no shirt, long hair, and a lone tattoo on one skinny arm, Eddie’s fingers dance over the chords. Eyes shut, Eddie sways back and forth while his hands move too quickly for the naked eye to follow. The Stuart real estate owners caught his slight smile.

The Stuart real estate owners also checked out a later version of “Eruption” on YouTube. Eddie has short hair under a red, white and blue bandana in the packed arena. Thanks to different camera angles, viewers also see his brother, former drummer Alex Van Halen, along with former singer Sammy Hagar onstage.

These days, Stuart real estate owners can experience Eddie on tour with his son, Wolfgang, behind the drums, as well as David Lee Roth. Each of the Stuart real estate owners is looking forward to Van Halen’s next concert to take place in South Florida.
