It was pretty f*cking groundbreaking at the time, 2 finger tapping in rock was unheard of, except maybe for Steve Hackett, and it inspired millions of kids to pick up guitar, influencing tons of metal guitarists in the process, including Steve Vai, Kirk Hammett, Dimebag Darrel, Kerry King, Randy Rhoads as well as players like Vernon Reid and Tom Morello...Which really should mean something.
And i would garantee you there would be no John Petrucci without Eddie Van Halen.
And people please, dont bash Eddie Van Halen, hes a great player, its not his fault.
