        The Big Six have some of the maddest, funkiest, craziest and mindblowing riffs that are still refreshing even to this day.. in fact it still puts a lot of current music out there to shame.

          He was 23, dude. They lied about their ages to make themselves seem younger. Not a big deal to anybody who dug them.

                    That guy was a riffmeister supreme. In terms of what he did in the rock guitar arena, on those 6 albums he just exhibited sheer genius.

                    VH also had 4 solid years from when they formed to their first album release to hone their act and songs, and much of that early material was spread throughout the 6 pack albums.

                    Plus, by his own account, Ed just practiced his ass off on a daily basis.

                          Playing guitar while taking a shit. Eddie said he came up with some good stuff while playing guitar in the bathroom while taking a shit. He even said he had recording equipment in there to catch the idea on tape.
