    Eddie Van Halen Covers 'Crossroads'

    EDDIE VAN HALEN Plays ERIC CLAPTON Classic 'Crossroads'; Audio Available
    Posted on Friday, February 27, 2009

    VAN HALEN News Desk is reporting:

    "This little clip should make your day. If you’ve never heard this (and even if you have), then you are in for a treat. Sometime in 1984, Eddie Van Halen sat for an interview with veteran rock journalist Lisa Robinson. As the conversation progressed, talk centered on guitar styles and influences. Ed responds by ripping out an impromptu, note-for-note, perfect rendition of ERIC CLAPTON’s 'Crossroads', to the obvious glee of Robinson (who endearingly refers to the tune as 'Cross-Words'). The clip has been making the rounds on bootlegs for years now. Although not the complete interview, this brief clip will leave even the most cynical VH fan with a large grin on their face."

                  That's his main influence...

                  I can hear his early licks evolving from that stuff...

                  Too bad he doesn't know what tone is anymore...

                      I always remember reading back in the day how he could play that note for note, first time I ever heard him do it though....

                          Now if he could only remember some Van Halen guitar solos we would be set. Fuck that bitch reporter by the way. She definitely was not worthy of witnessing that.

                                  Yeah, this clip's been around for years. But it's great that its "back in circulation".
