No, I haven't seen that yet. Have only seen a couple of tunes from that show. I can imagine it just fucking kills.

Yes, the opening of that solo is one of Ed's finest moments. Such a sassy hook. I love it.

As I've said, I walk around with that solo intro playing in my head half the day lately. It's goddamn perfect.

Shit, I had the vid on my hard drive, but its gone now. Totally sucks cause you gotta see it man. You know how from time to time you see something that reaffirms why you loved the band in the first place? This vid was one of those times for me. The entire band is killin.

Can someone please put this up?

I like Me Wise Magic solo and the guitar at the end of the song.
That guitar towards the end just kicks.

I love all Ed's solos especially: "Little Dreamer" and "I'm the One"

Every note on "Fair Warning" is mind-blowing.

BTW "So this Is love" was a combination of Ed's solos; he mixed them together to form one solo apparently.

The solo from "Beat It".

(This thread IS about the best EVH solo, remember?)

Good point! that is a masterpiece and a half of a guitar solo and often ignored by VH fans.

BTW the rythm guitar is not Ed it's his friend Steve Lukather.

[Coyote]

I know, dude.

[pete]

"push comes to shove"

but there's alot of awesome parts that are not solos, but aren't rhythm either. in a lot of their music.

[ALMOSTsaved]

"Little Dreamer" solo fucking rocks! God Damn!

Oh, and I HAVE to agree with Big Troubles: "Push Comes To Shove" solo is a mother fucker!

Eddie kills on the Dave ballads.

[cwsmith17]

The one that Ed is most proud of is Jump. I personally like D.O.A..

[cwsmith17]

However, the solo from Beat It is fucking wicked too!!!!

[romeodelight]

OUTTA LOVE AGAIN (both solos)

and of course...

HOT FOR TEACHER

[ashstralia]

oh yeah, as i've been reading this thread i've been putting the cd's on
and listening....

but i have no van hagar. oh well.

yep, i always liked so this is love and push comes to shove,

ice cream man, hot for teacher.

little dreamer is an underrated song!

one that no-one's mentioned,

the whole second half of house of pain goes through 3 distinct solo's.

i remember this is why i play guitar, it still makes my hair stand up!

and that last bit with the bluesy bent doublestops, and dave wit da 'aah aah'

fuckin superb way to end an album.

then there was mr. vai!

[pardo]

Fuck man, the solo and outro for House of Pain is my favorite ending to an album ever! Awesome groove and the whole band just sounds elated to be playing! What sucks is it kinda upped the excitement for the next album. Sorta like "Growth" from the WACF. Except exponentially cooler!

[Mr Grimsdale]

Outta Love has a pretty good solo.

[ashstralia]

aye, that it does.

[Jano]

It's so hard to choose,lets see:
the "ice cream man"solo,"one foot out of the door"is a bad ass solo too,also the "so this is
love" solo kick ass and the solo from"year to the day".

[bru87tr]

im glad someone else said it first.

when I have to think quick the "Beat It" solo is pretty kick ass and has to be up there.

[flappo]

..feel your lovin tonite has a grate solo

..real feel good stuff
..fuck me , vh 1 was the bestest

[Seshmeister]

I'd have to go for Beat It.

[Big Troubles]

LOL well yeah, I guess that was good...but still...wacko jacko?

so this is love?
drop dead legs
panama
outta love again
jump

[rustoffa]

The fade out on "one foot out the door" shoulda been longer.

[Big Troubles]

for sure. that tune rocks. back when eddie used organ for good usage.

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

Outta Love Again i love the solo and riff! killer

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

i love one foot out the door. only bad thing is is that it only lasts 1 minute 9 seconds

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

big bad bill is sweet william now and could this be magic didn't rock!!! but it did show a different side of EVH. real talent, not just flash likes he is sometimes acused of being

[bru87tr]

beat it
