Key word: SHRED. You now that EVH heard that solo a few times just based on his reliance on fast tremolo picking while climbing scales. He used it on every one of his signature solos.

When Roth heard Beat It and Eddie's solo he commented "I don't know what the big deal is. It's the same solo he's been playing in Van Halen for years."
