1978 Rock Classic With Spontaneous Guitar Solo Ranked Best Song for Surviving a Heat Wave ...Saudi Arabia

News by : (Parade) -

Whether you're braving the outdoors or staying inside, you'll need the perfect playlist to beat the heat...and it should probably include Van Halen's 1978 classic, "On Fire."

What makes "On Fire" all the more impressive is knowing that Van Halen apparently made up his guitar solo on the spot.

While "On Fire" was never released as a single, the band used the song as a show-opener on their 1978 world tour and it remains a fan favorite to this day.

Interestingly enough, another of Van Halen's guitar solos was rumored to be so hot that it really did set a speaker on fire...but that's not exactly what happened.

Instead, it's going to smolder like an ember and create a horrendous atrocious smell, that real acidic electronic burning smell. The thing was lighting up like a toaster."
