Then you dont go out much, and you dont really observe what people are saying on internet forums.

Either that or you are a ****ing moron.

And i dont really see EVH getting that much credit from critics, save maybe a few guitar magazines....I remember the RS greatest guitarists list, and they had him at #70, below Joe Perry, Kirt Hammett, Jack White and Kurt Cobain....Which was pretty damn lame.

I don't browse the forums that much, but I don't see how I'm a moron when all I've done is note that in every single top guitar solo list that I've seen (and even ones I've helped compose myself), "Eruption" is near the top. I'm sorry for not knowing about everyone on the net's opinions on it, but I know a damn lot. And obviously there are more people who love it than hate it.

Im a member of more than 20 music forums, i can easly say i know what im talking about.

So more people hate it than love it? I find that hard to believe. Well there was this one guy complaining about it to me on the radio one time, but I think that's about it.

Why?...You think VH sucks right?

So you pretty much think lowly of all VH fans huh?...They dont have the right taste in music i guess.

You remind me of these losers who call Eruption a total wankfest and then pop in a Batio CD.

I never even said I hated Van Halen or "Eruption," nor did I say it was a wankfest. I actually feel the opposite way, I just find "Eruption" to be overrated. But I don't totally love it of course, or EVH.

Thats an awesome solo, not as good as the intro solo on Eternal Rest

Dire Straits- Sultans of Swings
Lynyrd Skynyrd- Freebird.

Hands down.

Eddie Hazel - Maggot Brain
Jimmy Page - Stairway to Heaven, Dazed and Confused
Eric Clapton - White Room
David Gilmour - Comfortably Numb
Steve Howe - The Clap, Mood for a Day
Martin Barre - Aqualung
Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing, Voodoo Child (Slight Return), All Along the Watchtower, Bold as Love
Terry Kath - 25 or 6 to 4
