And Now, Here’s a Stop-Motion Jawa Playing Van Halen’s “Eruption”

Here’s a stop-motion animated video of a Jawa playing Eddie Van Halen’s “Eruption.”

Why is there a stop-motion animated video of a Jawa playing Eddie Van Halen’s “Eruption”?

Explains the clip’s creator, Thomas J. Yagodinski:

“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. Is it perfect? Of course not, that’s impossible and nothing ever is :-) The Jawa is a stop motion puppet I fabricated and the guitar is the 1:4 scale (16inch) Mini Guitar (#EVH-004) that I further customized. The set……well, that’s from/for something entirely different!! Hope you have as fun watching as I had creating.”

Now seems like a great time to mention MetalSucks’ Metal Warz shirts, which turn famous metal band logos into logos for much-beloved Star Wars characters. I have four kids to feed, so if you could buy one, their hungry lil’ tummies would surely appreciate it. Get ’em here.
