'Eruption' is a guitar solo which is written by Eddie Van Halen and is accompanied by Alex Van Halen on drums. The whole solo lasts for nearly two minutes, the only Van Halen cd or record is the very first Van Halen record which is called Van Halen.

This solo is also unconventional because it cannot be compared to another song because firstly it is very short and secondly there are no vocals in the song it is mostly guitar that is being played.

The audience for this is yet again 'wannabe' rockers or big fans of Van Halen. And even other famous rock stars like I think Zakk Wylde for example.

In Goodwin's theory with this solo it is a performance because if it was narrative then it would have a story behind the solo and there is not.
