It’s hard to fathom today, but in the 1960s and 70s, many record companies weren’t run by corporate boards, faceless businessmen, and bean counters.

Watch ‘Star Wars’-Themed Tribute to Eddie Van Halen
Star Wars can be seen playing “Eruption” in memory of the “intergalactic legend.”
“This was an extremely fun way to pay respects to a musical legend and to also challenge myself to recreate Eddie s amazing solo, frame by frame via stop-motion animation,” creator Thomas J.
