Eddie Van Halen Christmas

Steve Lukather released a Christmas album with his good friend, Eddie Van Halen in 2003. 

Together, they recorded their version of “Joy To The World,” which you can listen to below. 


“Ed and I have been friends for 24 years or so. I got him out of seclusion to come rip on one of the Xmas tunes.” Van Halen joins Lukather on a rendition of the standard Joy to the world that Lukather tells will sound a bit different than what most people are used to: “I did a version of Joy to the world that sounds like it’s Hot for teacher or Space boogie. It’s that tempo, that groove, and we re-arranged the voicings around the melody. Me and him go back and forth on some solos.”
