YouTuber Thomas J Yagodinski took on an extraordinary challenge and recreated Eddie Van Halen’s “Eruption” in a stop-motion video. The guitarist in the clip is a Jawa sprung from the Star Wars universe. He belts out his solo on a miniature replica of Eddie’s iconic Frankenstrat – originally in red with black and white stripes.
Attention to detail
„Edward Lodewijk Van Halen was a virtuoso, innovator, intergalactic legend. Rumors exist of his origin in this galaxy. Once I scavenged an artifact I study and learn in deepest tribute. I will now perform for you Eruption“, the Jawa doll initiates the clip before she plunges into shredding pleasure. The end result shows a lot of love for detail: The precise display of tapping, picking, bending and tremolo moments is impressive and shows with the naked eye how much time has to have flowed into this project.
