ahhh...takes me back...I remember walking into GT's Music one day and there was this kid playing like that..prob 13 at the time...scary...it was(drum roll....) Joey B.!!I dig ed's lead tone...freakin'clean and big-I need a lot more skuzz to hide behind :? when i saw him tremelo pick in person for the first time(like the Little Guitars intro...eeeek!), I thought about picking up a drumstick instead-then I heard ed started on drums...ed looked so much better there,a s opposed to the recent Guitar World cover-now, where's my Fred Rose??(actually overheard from country dude in Gt'sMusic-)

personally I thought it sounded like a mess

untill he turned the volume back about 3mins 30 and played the chordal passages,Im an eddie fan but that was horrible


what a showman!!!!!!!!!!


No didnt like that much,perhaps it was the quality but Ive heard and seen some van halen stuff similar I do think eddie is far too overrated,at the time yes he was phenomanal now no way most guys out there could smoke him and dont just rely on tapping

Ive probably started somint now

Yeah, the tapping stuff is old news and played out, but at that time he was RED hot. I have a nice SL-1 Jackson with the Floyd Rose setup, but now play my old ragged 'Paul 98% of the time. This video took me back to when I was about 11 years old and saw Van Halen around 1982. The intro to "Mean Street" still gives me goosebumps. There are definately better technical players out there, but few with the innovation that Ed had during the early years. Not to mention the whole generation of guitar players that he inspired, much like Jimi Hendrix did in the late 60's. I would not consider him overrated. But everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

you're Joe Bonamassa??

 

[JOEY B.]

Not quite. :lol: But his style is more my thing as of late. I still enjoy my Black Sabbath "mood music" for my early morning drive to work. It gets my blood pumping. But, the blues style captures the "feel" and "emotion" of the guitar player better than any "angry metal" music IMHO. Maybe this comment won't start a firestorm.

 

[18&Life]

I hate blues,I never liked.Some phrases are cool but just it.
I prefer guitar players who mix styles,like vai.He starts a song very metal,than goes to a clean passage,to a blues passage and finishes the song with some crazy stuff !!
Of course it's just an example. :wink:
