No one.

No one has heard it before either, I am sure of that.

So...it is the most elaborate hoax ever, complete with unbelievable guitar solo performance, or....It's Ed.

That's right...it's the Holy Grail of Guitar Solos...unreleased EVH, CVH era.

OK OK... I give up It's EVH

Have any of you heard Ed's music that he did for his ex-wife's TV movies or Donut City, or the Wild Life?

I have. Not very much like CVH. Listen carefully. It is different but it is Ed.

GOOD WORK DF....

And good point....

Again...thanks for sharing....

it's EVH.....

Although Part 00:32 -00:37 sounds just like Respect the Wind IMO

I knew you would appreciate Matt.

And to think I've been sitting on this for 22 years without sharing.

I'm sorry.

At 1:21 just for a split second it sounds the beginning of Eruption just after the first 7 seconds where he starts the pulloffs slow it down on windows player you will hear it.

Yngwie Malmsteen in 1983. Listen to this intro to "Hot On Your Heels" when he was in Steeler...following the acoustic guitar intro, it goes into electric guitar solo, with Taurus bass (synth) pedals.

BTW, if that clip really is EVH, where are the trademark harmonics and Floyd Rose wang bar antics that he's used in virtually all of his solos?

Thanks now I have a HEADACHE

KISW was the first radio station outside of southern California to play Van Halen, and the band had a great relationship with the on air staff of the time, most of whom are still on the air, but they're all at KZOK now. Except for Bo Roberts. Not sure where he ended up, actually.....

Anyway, it's possible that such a transaction took place, but that doesn't sound like Eddie to me, and it doesn't sound remotely like "Eruption"

[Casemeister]

It does sound a LITTLE like EVH at times, but it doesn't have many EVH trademarks. I don't think it's him (it COULD be), but I do believe you have posted it this in good faith, and that is cool!

Thanks for posting it, even if it isn't EVH!

[Romeo Delight]

I have an idea...for those of you who don't think it's Ed....

We'll just say it is me playing these licks. Sure.

I know this exists no where else so I am safe

[Big Troubles]

other than the harmonics, it does not sound like Edward at all. Classic or not.

[Coyote]

Vivian Campbell? Nah...

John Sykes? Nah...

Dimebag Darrell? nah, The sound's too smooth.

George Lynch? Could be, but it's too classical.

Yngwie Malmsteen? Not enough arpeggios.

Zakk Wylde? He's a pentatonic-scale super-(mis)user.

I don't know who the fuck it is. Could be pretty much anyone...

Even EVH.

[Big Troubles]

LOL I was thinking it sounded ALOT like something Lynch would do. But yeah I was running through all the guitar players I could think of that would sound like that. Or play that style. I hear Malmsteen in there somewhat.

[Coyote]

It's also possible that it's just some Seattle dude posing as EVH.

Kurt Cobain?! :eek:

[rustoffa]

No way that's Lynch.
