EvH is a God, best electric guitar player ever. Let's discuss

That's a funny way to spell Eric Clapton.

 

I think technically we have far better players today but for his time he was buck wild dude will never be forgotten. Srv is best of all time tho imo.

Dave Lister

EVH is great, but my problem with him is that he influenced an entire generation of shitty shredders. Of course, this wasn't his fault, but it resulted in a lot of shitty music.

>>727912931
Why is it that the older rockers get, the more "elaborate" their clothes get? They're always wearing clothes with lots of bullshit stitched onto it.

You're all wrong

>>727911895
Eddie was an innovator that is without question, and if it weren't for him many guitarists wouldn't be as good as they are if it weren't for his influence. But to tag him best evar is a stretch for me. People like Frank Marino of Mahogany Rush were were killing it before Eddie.

Good musician, but a bit boring , friedman is much better imo.

Have you listened to his work with Steven Wilson?

>>727913057
They never escape Midlife crisis.

>>727913706
No, but i love Porcupine Tree

Personally I think Megadeth - era Marty Friedman has my favorite guitarwork but there are a bunch of great guitar players. Guthrie Govan, Tobin Abasi, Eddie Van Halen, John Petrucci, Buckethead, Steve Vai, Randy Rhoads, Dimebag Darrell, Paul Gilbert....etc.

>>727914006
I would agree with you about GG's solo work being a bit boring (impressive, but boring), his stuff with Steven Wilson is much more interesting and less shreddy, imo

>>727913622

David was a wash, let's not forget Mr Hagar, who changed the whole game ... VH is far from a bar band.

>>727911895
his signature guitar is gay as fuck though

>>727915094
The FrankenStrat? Bro... Come on now..

Prince and Hendrix

GG is a good middle ground for all the newer techniques and styles without "losing emotion" in most people's opinion unlike newer guitarists.
EVH is just too balls to the wall to me. Just my opinion

At the time, he was an incredible front man, perfect for a band to gain momentum. He has looks and a body that women got greasy for, a master at running his mouth in any occasion, good or bad it didnt matter but he generated talk, and for the music, his voice fit what was needed. When VH hit mainstream, they were not a carbon clone of someone else. Their popularity, the promotion, and record sale speak to how well received the early VH formula worked.

Without Jimi Hendrix, Les Paul, Tony Iomi, EvH, and Chuck Berry, the electric guitar would be nothing like what it is now. That's probably why they're considered the greatest.

Yngwie Malmsteen is probably more skilled than all of them put together but his music is absolutely devoid of soul. How a guitarist as great as he is can make such shit music is mind boggling.

There are 12 year old girls on Youtube that shred better than he does. He is top 50 at best, and that is only in the Rock category.

Buckethead is pretty high up there. He is my fav guitar player

Same. Or I have four favorites but he shares the first place. I wish he would come to Finland with a full band. I also dream of having one of those Gibson Buckethead Signatures they don't make them anymore and even if they did, I can't afford to buy a +4000€ guitar.

>>727927953
Influential and best are not the same thing.

Eddie isn't the best technically, there are guys that can play faster and jam more technique in, but Eddie is probably one of the greatest influences on guitarist, because he wrote good fucking songs.

Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert and Shawn Lane are all way better players, but EVH wrote great rock songs and riffs, not to mention he is a monster rhythm player.
