Vito Bratta

[Matt White]

Bratta was good....Liked LITTLE FIGHTER & RADAR LOVE....

The cool little "19th Nervous Breakdown" lick he does before the EVH harmonics in the RADAR LOVE solo still knocks me out......

Eddie always espoused the "falling down the stairs and landing on your feet" approach, which gave his solos a much more off-the-cuff, spontaneous feel.

Maybe a little but a lot of that is the usual Eddie BS.

He claims he wrote Eruption and all the solo's on VHI on the spot in the studio yet by amazing coincidence they are 98% similar to the solo's he did on those songs in bootlegs beforehand...?

Exactly exactly.

I think 98%'s going a little far...

Regardless, his solos come across far more off-the-cuff than Bratta's. Not saying that's better or worse, again, just entirely different.

off the cuff, a flick of the wrist

ooh no missus no!
