Eruption - Van Halen 

I feel like Eddie would have loved this cover. He always emphasized the fact he felt like he had to fill every silent space since they were a three piece band. You added so much flair and random noises and it felt like a version he would have played some night. 11/10

He sounds like Eddie, picks with his right hand like Marty and got Dimebag's hair. this dude is the metal-package!!

By far, the best cover of Eruption I've ever seen and heard. And by now I've probably seen thousands of them.

I mean yeah sure. That was ok and all but can you play smoke on the water? Lol

Definitely his version and his alone man. This an original of an original. I really hope this dude gets a hookup in a big band like GnR when they got Buckethead. Some huge touring band and gets this guy on the road and in front of 10,000 or more people per night. 🤘🤘🤘

1:07 I am in love with the way you added in the super frantic slide. It added a sense of panic and despite the fact its simple, it’s so original because you are the first I’ve ever seen do that. Absolutely incredible job.

Your technique and style is off the charts. That was amazing.

Awesome rendition Josh, keep it up man, hopefully WVH sees this video, I bet he'd love it!

Best eruption cover I’ve heard so far 💥💥💥🔥

I think this right here the absolute best ever cover/improv of Eruption. It just can't get any better

Holy Cow! This is like listening to Eddie on a record player, but the speed is set to 78 rpm! Insane!

i think this is the most accurate, beautiful, and perfect cover of Eddie Ive ever seen.

Killer tone and amazing playing... doesn't get any better🤘

That was the best cover I've ever seen of eruption. Frickin awesome man

This is the best eruption cover I’ve ever seen. The tone is dead on and the playing is impeccable. You somehow made that your own all at the same kind. Damn. Kudos, man. Insanely impressive.

This is my favorite version I've seen played (besides Eddie)

Thanks Josh. I’ve been waiting for a minute. I love to hear you play.

Bro is Eddie Van Halen, literally the looks, the guitar, the Eruption, everything. Bravo bro

the tone playing everythings perfect man holy, the man himself would be proud

So much feel, aggression and just fucking swag oozes out of your playing. Just cool af.

Bro… cleanest eruption cover ever🔥

Incredible skill and fluency at work. Also love the Marty Friedman style picking hand

Dude that was killer!! ❤️🤘🏻🔥

Mind blowing!

this is what makes a cover different from a playthrough I literally feel a piece of your own, thamks for it xD

I can’t stop watching this. Incredible bro

What a bold guitar technique! Awesome sound, man!!!

it just gets better every time i watch this

YOU CRAZY MAAN!!!! Love the cover, good job!

Dude you are so talented!!!!

I just started learning to play about a month and a half ago and I have watched a lot of eruption covers since then and this is by far the BEST cover I have ever seen of eruption. Plus the added details and using the pickup switch just adds a little chef's kiss to it if you know what I mean. I have watched this many of times too because it is so good. Great work man!

This might be one of the best covers I've heard of this. I grew up on glam and thrash metal. I'm 22 right now, been drumming since I was 5. Never stop playing bro.

good job bro ur a beast keep up the good work! just subbed

BRO YOU DO IT AMAZING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is the best cover of any song that i've ever heard deadass

Good god that was absolutely bonkers. Without question the best cover of eruption I've ever heard

You Really Got Me at the end you know you've listened to this album on repeat if that's your gut instinct

I think Ed would love it... I think he would see a chance of rock in the future. Great job.

Bad ass man love the vids

Love the mean street into thumpin’ at the beginning. Eddie was GOAT ahead of his time

Mann thiss is awesome

ESPECTACULAR

Great tone man!

this is so beautiful

What a startup, awesome...

Everything about this is spectacular

SICK!

im in awe.

Happy 4 keep the vids coming

Oh my God !!😱Great job man

Good job man, I like the George lynch esk vibrato ya threw in there, nice take on a great classic that changed my life as a guitarist as it did millions of others when it hit the scene like a nuclear bomb. I still come back to it every time I seek inspiration and at my age it’s not easy to do these days. Cheers!

i like how you played You Really Got Me riff right after the dive bomb. i wish you could do it again but with the whole cover of You Really Got Me in it as a transition.

THIS WAS THE BEST COVER OF ERUPTION I EVER HEARD

best cover ever heard i hope the whole van halenfamily sees this and i hope you get a band formed and become professinal

Outstanding. WOW.

Dude, this is so clean and dirty at the same time 🔥🔥🔥

Great job Joshua. That quick sliding on the neck gives u time 2 maneuver the pick between ur fingers in preparation of those melodical, bubbly tapping licks without loosing the timing🎸

Holy shit. That was amazing, sounded damn near identical to the man himself. Fantastic

WWW the triple slide right before the tapping is so cool 15/10

1:04 EVH noise

My ears have been blessed

Besides smokes on the water jokes, that was insane, like effortless playing well done

Well, this a treat to be sure. Always dig your energy man - whatever you're playing. That is a beautiful guitar! I have a '62 reissue Strat (1993), sunburst, w/Texas Specials. Also a Maison super-strat (very similar body to your Schecters) with some kind of Seymour Duncan pick-ups. The previous owner said he put metal humbuckers on the bridge, and blues humbuckers on the neck. Keep up the great work Josh! I'm always on the lookout for a live stream or new video from you. Mahalo ❤‍🔥

insane

WOOO YOUR SOUND ROCKS DUDES!!

Beautiful cover ngl. Keep it up.

Those are some chops holy shit. Good job!

0:56 - 1:00 That gave me a smile, absolutely fantastic Keep it up man you are great!

WOW this solo is fucking amazing, GOOD JOB!!!

listened to this while high, thought it was perfect. Woke up next morning thought it was probably just my high brain giving it such high praise, but honestly, still sounds fucking heavenly

YOU REALLY GOT ME

that was incredible...

that playing was fucking clean man, good shit

On this day you made Eddie a happy man, great playing and also letting your own personality shine through!

Wow you just slay it my man great show and a tribute too the ledgendary Edward Lodewijk van halen Born 1955- Died 2020 too young miss this and bring me back too the time when eddy was still with us thx mate you are great guitar player keep playing🍀😎

Super cool ! Great technique, great sound, this Eruption will be kept forever! I was more excited than the original😮

this is the greatest video on RU-vid

Amazing!!
