@[jonjuan:17826] I'm actually quite impressed with your 'Essay' jonjuan.... except for the "YOU SUCK." part which is in need of a ! and lets the side down. lol Anyway, I just wanted to sayfirstly: Rodrigo y Gabriella are the most interesting thing to happen to the guitar since EVH. Absolutely amazing, I'm tempted to say 'revolutionary' but I'm sure some guittara history nerd will shoot me down. ;-) Second, and more seriously, I am constantly amazed by the depth of emotion fans feel toward EVH & Diamond Dave. Nobody seems to able to stand on the hill and admire the view? Van Halen were amazing when they arrived in 1978. Listen to the first album now and it sounds so immature but back then, in 1978, it sounded incredible. Eddie's guitar playing seemed impossible, too many notes, not enough fingers.... "He's a classically trained guitarist you know!" Exciting times. But Dave Lee Roth was just as amazing. He was another Freddie Mercury, another larger than life character that did far more than sing the words. Dave's on stage antics were just as important as Eddie;s plank-spanking and Dave is ALWAYS on stage (still). When you listen to those studio recordings, you can hear Dave doing his airborne splits in the studio. His ADHD personality comes through in the song and gives it life. They were both essential ingredients to the group and their need for the spotlight is what raised the bar. Van Hagar were technically superior and superb in their own way but never as impressive. Eddie Hater, never. I wouldn't want to be his friend or work with him but I'll listen to his output all day long. ;-) BTW, Kurt Cobain's contribution to guitar playing was 'The Lunge'. I don't recall anybody lunging properly before Kurt? |

| It's a 'FU' song for sure. I have to admit though, I didn't understand quite a few lyrics for several decades. DLR has actually stated he doesn't know what the recorded lyrics are to quite a few songs as he makes them up on stage. | |
