Different legacy.

Not to take anything away from EVH, who inspired countless millions to pick up a guitar and play it with both hands but the band itself wasn't particularly revolutionary, Eddie was.

Black Sabbath, on the other hand, was one of 4 or 5 bands that defined heavy music itself. There probably wouldn't be a Van Halen without Black Sabbath.

It was horrible. On that particular day...even Kingdom Clone was better than Metallica. And they certainly weren't better than VH.

Speaking of putting on a show, I think John 5 is one of the best I've ever seen live.

Seconded. How he just effortlessly jumped from genre to genre was insane.

All in favor. Although it's been a while (just before the pandemic if I recall correctly).

Why don't you change your avatar from the Joker holding a guitar to fuckin' John Fuckin' 5 then?

I've posted this somewhere else on here before, but this video is great. This guitar teacher just loses it watching Edward play a song he's never heard before

Nice. I'm a big Rick Beato fan too.

I actually felt compelled to make my first youtubes last week, kind of related, it's on the openG7sus4 tuning Jimmy Page popularized, I actually can't believe the mileage it has received :

Ha...used to have a Hendrix avatar but then too many folks started using Jimi graphics so I had to make a change.

I made this thread as a joke. It's pretty funny that it's still being used.

Hmmm...is that a wiseass comment about my signature, sir?
