Watch Fan Halen Guitarist Play Every Riff From Van Halen 1 In 10 Minutes

by Eric Senich — updated February 25, 2021 Leave a Comment

Guitarist Derek Fuller has performed Eddie Van Halen’s classic riffs more times than he can remember but this is one performance he’ll likely never forget.

The guitarist for the Van Halen tribute band Fan Halen stopped by Sunset Sound Studios in Hollywood to perform every classic riff from Van Halen’s 1978 debut album in just 10 minutes.

“This is truly a bucket list for me. This is fantastic,” said Fuller, who was standing only a few feet away from the room Van Halen recorded their first five classic studio albums.

“This is the epicenter of where it all happened,” said Fuller. “So I am more than, uh….ya know. No pressure! [laughs]”

Fuller’s performance video is part of Sunset Sound Recorders’ Van Halen November video series.

You can find out more about Fan Halen through their official website.
