These battles over creativity, keyboards, and Eddie’s status as a guitar hero continued into the 1980s. The guitarist penned some songs from 1981’s ‘Fair Warning,’ like “Hear About It Later,” on piano, even though he’d play them on guitar on the album. He did, however, sell the band and Templeman on an evil-sounding instrumental called ‘Sunday Afternoon in the Park,’ which saw Van Halen utilize an Electro-Harmonix Micro-Synthesizer for the track.
