  • Holy God that was good! Has anyone ever told you that you look like Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins?

  • Man I wish I could practice, but being a good looking guy and a reasonable guitarist fucking women got in the way [sigh].

  • @np1013829 I'm not talking of what I do in the present. Sat in an office working gets boring at times. Projection is a strange little trait don't you think?

  • @MickeyLove01 still find the time too search for and watch eruption videos online though... something doesn't add up

  • @DEMONSPEED2112 idiot

  • badass dude, fab!

  • wow that sounded just like it!

  • not quite.. He hits the octave then turns on a Univox Echo which is set to fast infinite repeats. He then turns the speed knob of the delay down also dropping the pitch of the repeated signal. Eddie used to mount the Univox in an empty bomb shell on standing on stage so he could easily perform the end of Eruption.

  • its ok to improvise a little dude. Eddie never plays it the same live

  • wow you did sound like a dick :)

  • That was amazing but hey I don't want to sound like a dick and all but he doesn't use the bar at the ends of the sections when he "divebombs" I read in an article about how so many people over so many years would try and duplicate Eruption and it's impact on guitar playing and when first started out thats why he played with his back to the crowd-he doesnt use the tremolo he uses a phaser and a compressor and stomps the phaser all the way down to slow and it sustains that deep low sound.0 tremolo

  • i've been watching your videos i was wondering how many guitars you have lol theres like a different one for each video lol
