treeduck Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Is it too cliche to just say Eruption because I can't recall most of his other guitar solos off the top of my head? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Is it too cliche to just say Eruption because I can't recall most of his other guitar solos off the top of my head? Sorry Michael Schenker! Eddie Van Halen is the greatest guitar player on the Planet. I only bought the Siam Sam Halen shite to hear Eddie. FUKK SAM HAGAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I'm going outside the box tonight. I think one of Eddie's greatest solos is on the Michael Jackson's "Beat It" track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Hot take: Eddie's a better rhythm player than soloist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Hot take: Eddie's a better rhythm player than soloist. I think Eddie is a master at both. Michael Schenker too. For me, Warren DeMartini then. Fukking George Lynch. Adrian Vandenberg Ronnie Le Tekro Jake E Lee Randy Rhoads. All masters of both. Wolf Hoffmann Are you kidding me? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just whenever I listen to VH I'm always enamored with his rhythm work, meanwhile his obviously excellent lead work just kind of passes me by. I realize what he's doing in his solos is incredible, but for whatever reason I'm a lot more interested in his riffs and comping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Probably Mean Street. Hot for Teacher is up there too. Eddie knew how to shred and not overstay his welcome...like that short explosive solo in the middle of Sinner's Swing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 another hot take VH1 had better tunes but VH2 had better solos Eruption aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 another hot take VH1 had better tunes but VH2 had better solos Eruption aside. Not gonna disagree because both albums are stellar in both departments Van Halen II is my favorite VH album though .. Light Up The Sky and DOA are #1 and #2 for me song-wise VH did some great covers - You Really Got Me, Ice Cream Man, Pretty Woman ... But I think my favorite might be You're No Good .. that one has such a great, dark vibe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be as consistent, but there are no songs on s/t I like more than Women in Love and Beautiful Girls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
