“Eruption” Nominated For Best Guitar Solo of All-Time

by VHND — updated March 1, 2011 61 Comments

Guitarist Magazine (UK) has come up with a list of the “Greatest Guitar Solos Of All-Time” and has published a poll on its website. They have polled for a shortlist of 20 guitar solos from which people can vote, and Eddie Van Halen’s revolutionary solo “Eruption” has been nominated. But surprisingly, “Eruption” has only a small percentage of votes as of this moment.

VOTE FOR “ERUPTION!” According to the rules you can vote as many times as you’d like, so please vote for Eddie and spread the word.
