CVH vs EEAS

[JimboGun11]

Do you think that early Dave solo could have been better than CVH if the timing had been right and they would have had move albums together? To tell you the truth, I like Skyscraper as much, if not more than, the six pack.

They had nothing left.

Ed was goin synth.

Al only wanted to do a few shows.

Dave was just beginning to pick up steam. I mean early Van Halen rolled up everybody, but Dave from 86-89 or so kicked some MAJOR fucking ass.

The dude was on fire.

EVH and them couldnta kept up with it.

Nope...the EEAS band was great and they blew VH away from 86-89 but they were no Classic VH!

What about the synths on Skyscraper.

Everyone thinks the issue is about synthesizers and they are only partially correct.

It isn't the synthesizer but how they are used.

5150 and on were synthesizers being abused. Where as Skyscraper was true art.

Ed/ Hagar was synthesizers used in a very cheesy way, but used properly synthesizers fakking rock!!!

I can only take so much of Vai's playing.

I can listen to Ed forever.

That pretty much sums it up.

DLR + Vai + Sheehan + Bissonette = Perfect combination which kicks MAJOR ass! especially SHEEP ass!

Dave had some of the world's best musicians in the "EEAS Band," but are his first two solo albums better than the CVH stuff? In my opinion, no. Vai is great, but EVH is more interesting, I think. I enjoy EVH. I don't really enjoy Vai that much. Bissonnette is a fantastic drummer. He is better than Alex. Alex does the job, though, in CVH, where the drums don't always have to shine. As a band, it's hard to go past CVH. The material and the performance was always fantastic.

With that said, I like Dave's solo stuff... just not quite as much as CVH.

I third that

The level of musicianship was way higher on EEAS, especially with Vai and Sheehan. But you can't really beat Classic Van Halen for the great songs. 'Shyboy' was fantastic but I prefer 'Hot For Teacher' or 'Atomic Punk'.
