Eddie Van Halen Challenged Ace Frehley to Play "Eruption" — Ace's Response Left Eddie Speechless

August 1979. Oakland Coliseum. Eddie Van Halen had just watched KISS perform and found himself in Ace Frehley's dressing room. Eddie was at the peak of his confidence, having revolutionized guitar playing with his debut album and the iconic "Eruption" solo. Looking at Ace, he asked a question that would become infamous: "You're good at what you do. But could you handle Van Halen's material? Be honest." Ace's response was simple: "I don't know. Can I borrow your guitar and find out?" What happened next became legendary in rock history. Ace Frehley, the "circus performer" Eddie had underestimated, proceeded to play "Eruption" on Eddie's own guitar, note-perfect, with his own variations. And Eddie Van Halen, the guitar prodigy who thought he'd seen it all, sat there with his jaw dropped, realizing he'd completely misjudged the guitarist behind the Spaceman makeup.
