    Actually, jason becker is the greatest guitar player of all time, cuz he's more bluesy than eddie van halen, just listen to sensible shoes and you can hear a young guitar virtuoso in the making!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    his career was cut way to short!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh yeah...... prove it. Lets see Steve Via get half as waisted as Ed stays and then play. I wish old Eddie had been a sober person. Imagine what he could have been. Hopefully not Steve Via.

    who is david lee roth?

    Diamond Dave is the supreme Toastmaster General of the immoral majority.. the King of Any and All Things Rock n\' Roll. Bar none he is the greatest Frontman in Rock n Roll History!
    "I decided to name my new band DLR because when you say David Lee Roth people think of an individual, but when you say DLR you think of a band. Its just like when you say Edward Van Halen, people think of an individual, but when you say Van Halen, you think of…David Lee Roth, baby!"!

    In the begininning GOD crated the heavens and the
    earth and the earth was void and without form, So GOD created JIMI and saw that it was good but JIMI was not pure of heart and and lusted after his younger brother JIMMY and sought to destroy him and JIMI did so and the earth was again void But GOD loved the world and gave them EDWARD who was pure of heart and GOD blessed the world and gave the world DAVE and DAVE was the world and the world was with DAVE.But EDWARD bcame jealous and chose to mock DAVE and EDWARD slept with roy and GOD was offended and smote EDWARD and his kind and cast him out. And EDWARD said "Where so ever I go they shall mock me and make fun of me". And GOD said "Hey dumbass get DAVE back in the band" But until 2005 EDWARD was retarded and would not repent and he was mocked thourgholy wherever he went.and he could not find rest....PENDING!

    The dude seems to think it's funny to state the opposite of the obvious and place a bunch of exclamation points after every phrase.

    Yes, David Lee Roth needs to get back with Steve Vai... and SOON!

    Steve Vai Vs. Eddie Van Halen?
    Can't really compare two totally different styles of guitarist but...
    I think Steve Vai is a better guitarist
    whereas Ed Van Halen is a bitter guitarist

    Cool

    Vai is nowhere near or as talented as Eddie. Vai was the guy who ate leftover. Without Eddie van halen .... Vai would had never exist. They choose to play their own style, both are very talented, but if you put them face to face. Eddie would eat Vai for breakfast , without breaking a sweat. I saw Steve Vai twice , it bored the hell out of me.

    It's really a stupid thread but I'm so stupid myself I can't help rising to the bait.

    Let's cut the crap here. Vai isn't worthy enough to lick those cowboy boots with holes in that Eddie's been wearing for the last three years.

    There is no contest, has never been any contest and will never be any contest at any point in the future.

    Look, Eddie could score porn soundtracks with a 3 stringed ukelele for whatever time he's got left on this planet and Vai could tour the world to sell out arenas full of guitarists nudging each other saying 'I can do better than that' (Vai's main audience incidentally): it would make not one jot of difference. Edward secured himself an immortality within music and guitar playing with the creation of the six pack of the sort Vai could only ever dream. Vai's got NOTHING on Eddie in his prime- end of argument.

    "Without EVH there would be no Steve Vai."That is always a funny statement. Like somehow if a lesser talent (EVH) didn't exist then Steve Vai couldn't possibly play guitar. RIGHT. I am sure Vai has had guitar players that inspired him (Jimmy) but that is not why he is who he is.

    Dunno about "vs.", but I've always preferred what EVH did.

    Loved what Vai did on Flexible and EEAS and think he's a tremendous player, but I suppose if I had to make a qualification between the two (kinda stupid to even bother, as music and guitar playing isn't a sport) I'd give EVH the edge for innovation and composition.

    Steve Vai, however, has the technical ability to express practically anything, but to me he has so little to express.

    Who is a bigger DOUCHE BAG - Sammy Hagar or Axl Rose?

    Steve Vai can kiss my ass , i saw Vai twice and it bored the shit out of me and my friends. The first show was with Roth , and i though he would done something better that's why i went to the second one. Going to his show is like seeing Tom Petty. No wonder Vai didnt have much success with or without Roth since 1985. The world wont be fooled by his stupid guitar playing bullshit. Very clearly the world would perfer Eddie the King. Vai will go to hell when Van Halen reunion tour takes off next summer. They will come back to destroy the fucken world again!

    Guys want to talk shit about Vai because all they know is what he did with David Lee Roth.

    That was some good exposure for him too, but it PALES in comparison to the stuff he laid down with the legendary Frank Zappa.

    How do you define success? Sitting around your fucking house for 10 years doing nothing but bragging about music you will never release? Vai has been releasing albums, touring the world both with and without G3. He does guest spots, soundtracks and on and on. Thats not including the label he started etc.

    Roth and the VH brothers don't like each other. They are in there 50's with no fire to become stars or wealthy to trump that. This tour will be the shallow, shadow of their former selves tour that 2004 was. The only difference is that the Roth sheep are pissing themselves instead of the Hagar sheep.

    If there was no R&R HOF and evh DIDN'T a shitload of new gear that he wants to pimp do really think there would be any discussion of getting with Roth? The answer is no.
