Hey everybody enjoys their own musical tastes...but farkedup you may think your friend taught you to play eruption, hell I've seen every kid in a music store play something that sounded sort of like it. But I have to tell you you didn't play it. No matter what you may try to say. I've been playing since I was 8 years old and that was 38 years ago...and playing professionally since 1978...and I can tell you without any doubt that Eddie Van Halen is one helluva guitarist and definitely right up there with Page as one of the most influential of all times.
That being said...I'm a Jeff Beck mark when it's all said and done. Just a monster there.
And the guy that nobody can touch is John Mclaughlin.
But Eddie Van Halen is far more than what you are trying to portray. I do understand however if you just don't like his music. To each his own.
Me? I like Van Halen and went and saw them in Atlanta a few weeks ago. Fucking killer!
But I'm an old piece of shit, so take it with a grain of salt.
