For those who somehow got this far in life without seeing the 1985 classic, Back To The Future stars Michael J. However, Eddie Van Halen also flirted with Hollywood thanks to Back to the Future. As Van Halen became one of America's great rock bands in the glitz and glamour of the 1980s, Eddie's talents saw him record with Michael Jackson, score a porn film, and cameo in Two & A Half Men. Across their storied career, Van Halen enjoyed hits with "Jump," "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" and "Panama," but Eddie laid down the guitar gauntlet with his solo track, "Eruption," which remains the show-off piece of choice for ax-wielders across the world. Eddie Van Halen came to prominence as the revolutionary guitarist and songwriter behind Van Halen, who blasted into the music world with their self-titled debut album in 1978. Royal Trux would go on to title their next album Veterans of Disorder with this track alone, they earned a sleeve’s worth of stripes.As the world mourns the loss of Eddie Van Halen, fans might remember the guitarist's unconventional cameo in 1985's Back To The Future. destabilizing, multi-tracked vocal miasma. nonsensical lyrics (“You’re living in the fabled land of Nod!”), steady in-the-pocket basslines vs. ear-piercing synth frequencies, lighter-waving chorus hooks vs. It’s Royal Trux’s entire arsenal of avant-rock contradictions squaring off in a seven-minute battle royale: Heremma’s hoarse-throat psycho-babble vs. Hagerty’s plainspoken streetwise spiel (which includes arguably the first ever reference in song to the "threat of the internet"), Zeppelin-grade blooze riffage vs. One 1974 Cadillac El Dorado Sedan", whose title provides a pretty good indication of the band's internal struggle between grandiose ambition and absurdist logic. And in between lies the incomparable “United States vs. (Though Hagerty’s spoken-word freestyle toward the end ultimately disrupts the reverie.) Its bookend counterpart, “Run, Shaker Life” is an amped-up, acid-rockin’ cover of an old Richie Havens folk-funk raga- capped by a searing solo from Hagerty- that, in light of the Woodstock legend’s recent passing, stands as an especially timely and fitting tribute to his fiery spirit. In the former camp lies “Deafer Than Blind", a blissfully woozy Hagerty/Heremma duet that shares the same heady quality as the band’s exquisite 1993 single “Back to School”. Where Accelerator tweaked the treble and distortion to equilibrium-imbalancing extremes, 3-Song EP emphasizes the Trux’s mastery of rhythm, groove, and freak flag-flying jams.Īs self-explanatory as it seems, the 3-Song EP name is a bit of an understatement- it’s actually two songs sandwiching the most epic, colossally awesome piece of music the Trux ever attempted. Where Accelerator purposely compacted its arena-rock riffage into trash-canned dimensions and called attention to its production chicanery, 3-Song EP saw the Trux gearing up for its fall ’98 European tour, recruiting Drag City mascot Rian Murphy, Slint/ Tortoise guitar master David Pajo, and future Mars Volta/ Queens of the Stone Age drummer Jon Theodore to thicken up the band’s sound by several inches. ![]() ![]() But to do so would’ve been to undermine another crucial turning point in the band’s labyrinthine course. This rationale even extends to the latest- and briefest- entry in the campaign, 3-Song EP, which initially appeared just four months after their 1998 knockout Accelerator, and seemingly could’ve been tacked onto the recent re-release of that album. But more just than hip a new generation to this eternally enigmatic, eminently influential band ( Deerhunter’s Monomania being just the last album to mainline their scuzz-rock steez), the fat-free reissues speak to Neil Hagerty and Jennifer Heremma’s treatment of the album as a self-contained, vacuum-sealed unit, each with its own distinct themes, theoretical approaches, sonic signatures, and supporting casts of players. To date, Drag City’s Royal Trux reissue strategy has been more of a restock strategy, returning the band’s ’90s-era albums to record-store shelves in their original form- no bonus tracks, no liner-note essays, no souvenir sticker sets. ![]()
