    Who beter on guitar, the current Eddie Van Halen or Esteban?

    We all know Eddie was untouchable in his prime years many moons ago but if Eddie went up against Esteban today in a one on one guitar dual, who would win?

    She even could kick Eddie's nowadays. Hell the woman survived having her tour bus crushed by an 18 wheeler. Nothing has to run into Ed or fall out of the sky and hit him. He had everything a person ever could want: Talent, wealth, loyal fans, married to famouse actress, a founding member of one of rock and roll's most famouse bands, one of rock and roll's best frontmen. Eddie had it all and lost it all himself. Nobody took it from him, he pissed it away.

    Goria had a good career and then that big truck hit her, broke her spine. She worked, scratched, and fought back but even at that, her career didn't last forever and now she is Gloria who?

    Eddie still could be a huge star and Van Halen could be a ledgend. That was all there for him to take but he not only ignored it, he killed it.
    No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!

    hmmmm.....lemme see......the facts are.....

    As of his most recent tour, Eddie cannot even play his own material properly

    or

    Esteban, despite his accident, still plays guitar fluently.....


    there's the facts......now you decide....

    That guy esteban is decent. But ive heard and seen TONS of more talented "classical" guitarists.

    I'll vote for EVH because he at least plays his own material (except YRGM) while esteban plays lullabys and other lame tunes.

    Esteban is my friend!

    I want a sixteen dollar guitar for $100!

    And I want to learn how to play like a "Pro" in a week, too!

    And I want a huge amp that'll fit in a shoebox that's gonna pop in a week, too!

    Wait a minute...do I get the Ginsu knives, too?

    Truth be told, it's no worse than listening to Ed play these days.

    Eddie vs. Esteban... Well, Esteban translates to Steve in English, so I'd go with Steve... Vai that is. Kudos to Matt for the Tiny Tim reference!! Me too!

    I can't believe this was even brought up...I'm going to be the lone wolf and say I'd rather hear EVH...even today than Esteban and his flying monkey circus of wild 10$ guitars.
