Light Up The Sky wouldn't really spring to mind as one of Ed's most memorable, either.
Eruption was a jaw-dropping display of where rock guitar was headed. Possibly more so for budding guitarists than the larger record buying public (I'd tend to agree that Beat It was very instrumental in introducing Eddie Van Halen and Van Halen to a much wider audience than they tended to reach around 1982, and this along with Jump probably broadened their audience and made 1984 such a big smash...much bigger than Diver Down). However, Eruption is just one of those defining moments in the evolution of rock guitar.Now who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?

I should also add that other than the lick on Beat It, as far as official VH albums go, the solos on 'Bottoms Up' are hard to beat. Hands down my favorite - particularly the second that ends the song. The musical definition of BAD ASS.My karma just ran over your dogma.

I voted Eruption because it is his DEFINING solo. However, Push Comes To Shove is his best in my opinion.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”

It's fun, mean, in your face & has one of Ed's top 3 solo's on it. Plus the coolest video ever on MTV !Originally posted by perilouspete
