    Edward Van Hale vs. Angus Young

    Alright soldiers and soldierettes, listen up now!

    I was just reminded of what a bad-ass Angus Young is LIVE, took me back to a younger more vibrant AC-DC era.

    Anyway, If you had to choose between those two, who would it be?
    Who would have to get your honest vote for Best Live Performances?

    Edward Van Halen or Angus Young?

    Make your selections and then explain your choice if you like, or just do a hit and run if that is more your speed.

        I'd have to say.....Ed would've found the SG a bit heavy.

          Eddie in his prime in a complete landslide over Angus Young, who did/still does the same pentantonic solo over everything. I'm serious, every one of his solos are the same 5 note runs.

          People's hatred here for Ed now clouds how truly untouchable he was.

              Eddie. End of story.

              I'm confounded as to how there could be a debate.

              Did I miss something special that Angus did that would warrant such a comparison?

                  Yes....the fact that Ed Van Halen does not exist anymore. They replaced him with some drunk.


                  That said, Angus can literally run circles around Ed onstage.

                  The whole point of this poll is "live performance", not "technical ability".

                  Angus is STILL a non-stop machine onstage, where all Ed wants to do anymore is fuck off for 15 minutes while calling it a "guitar solo".


                  Ed would drop dead trying to keep up with Angus, being the chain-smoking, tongueless alcoholic fuck that he is anymore...

                  Angus wins hands down, end of fucking story.

                    Ed in his prime, but if we're talking about today, then it is Angus,

                    he still rocks, Ed errr fucks around and lies down.

                        ED wins if was only his CVH stufff. but you have to admire AC/DC they at least listen to their fans and NEVER do Power Ballads and they still at least write the same style music they did 20-30 years ago. Also anyone else notice that AC/DC has no Top 10 hits in the US but they one of the best selling albums of all time.

                          Of course AC/DC keeps writing the same stuff over and over, Malcolm and Angus only know 4 fucking chords.

                            Comparing Eddie Van Halen to Angus Young is like comparing Angus Young to Johnny Ramone. I'm big fans of all three and they are great in their own way, but come on!

                              Without a doubt, EVH. Angus can run around on stage, eh? So can most of the pop acts. EVH, today, yesterday, tomorrow, whenever, could play circles around Angus, and THAT is what I want to see and hear.

                              With that said, Angus is great at what he does. There's a certain, very distinctive AC/DC groove and he is a big part of that.
