I actually went to a Van Halen concert awhile back. His improvised Eruption was amazing. He made noises on the guitar I didn't even know were possible. In ten minutes he put Jimi to shame. I think Jimi's awesome, but Eddie Van Halen for greatest guitarist. His live guitar playing is much better than his studio guitar.
