This relatively unknown side project math rock band of a relatively unknown indie rock band from Pittsburgh has intrigued me for years now. Guitarist/singer Damon Che (who's actually a drummer for Don Caballero) is an obvious Eddie fan, but borrows from Ed quite artfully.
In this particular song, which I love, he applies the hammering technique to the rhythm of the song (starting at 1:13) something Ed, oddly enough, practically never did. Ed pretty much uses it for solos exclusively.
I'll post some other goodies by them that also illustrate this guys keen ability to express his inner VH nerve. On there first CD, they do an original tune that incorporates their own version of the Girl Gone Bad/I'm So Glad jam from the US Festival. On the same CD, Songs For The Terrestrially Challenged, they do a version of Secrets.
