“Ed Van Halen is going to change a lot of lives around the world in the next 12 months” - Kim Fowly predicted in Phonograph Record in 1977. Van Halen had only recently been signed to Warner at the time of Fowly’s review, and the Los Angeles band hadn’t yet released their landmark debut album. But they had created a tremendous following in the Los Angeles area with a massive heavy metal sound emerging from a small three piece band (David Lee Roth fronted the group as a consummate showman, but left the instrumental part to Eddie on guitar, Eddie’s brother Alex on drums and Michael Anthony on bass). By the time the band released their eponymous first album in February of 1978, Van Halen was poised for almost-certain commercial success. But nothing could have prepared audiences for the album’s completely instrumental second track, “Eruption,” in which Eddie groundbreaking guitar playing was showcased, full-force, for the world to see. Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist, Zakk Wyld recalls: “It was beyond mind blowing. I’m going, ‘That can’t be a guitar. What is that?” Phast Phreddie Patterson wrote for Waxpaper in 1978: “Boyishly grinning Edward wails his guitar like his life depended on it…like a kid with a new toy, he tries to get as many noises out of his instrument as electronically possible. The results are unbelievable.” With his unconventional technique and distinct guitar tone, Eddie Van Halen revolutionized the guitar landscape for generations to come.
It is undeniable that Eddie’s guitar tone and technique are, in themselves, recognizable in any context; when the guitarist was brought in to play for Michael Jackson’s hit song “Beat It,” his solo is instantly identifiable as Eddie Van Halen. But Eddie further distinguishes himself through his songwriting.
As the only guitarist in Van Halen, Eddie spent the band’s early days developing a way to provide both the harmonic foundation and lead guitar parts through his one instrument. Reflecting on the recording of the band’s first album, the guitarist explained: “I remember feeling very uncomfortable with separating my lead and fill parts from my rhythm parts. Onstage, I’d gotten used to doing both simultaneously. I’d just noodle in between chord lines.” With the band’s original material, Eddie’s talent for creating expansive and virtuosic guitar parts is integrated inextricably into the songs. Further, while the guitar is certainly his showpiece instrument, he never forgot the musicianship training of his youth. In 1984, he turned to his keyboard roots, co-writing the #1 hit “Jump” which placed Eddie front and center with his unforgettable synthesizer riff and solo (the song also features a succinct but masterful guitar solo).
