      YES! OFOTD is a smoking goddamn outro of a solo, a very underrated EVH wail fest.

      I'd forgotten about HEH's solo. I love that shit, especially the main hooky, melodic muted riff it keeps going back to. FUCK YEAH.

        The Hang Em High solo is freakin amazing. You see the '82 Largo footage of him playin it all up close and personal? I saw that and rewound it 20 times probably. Untouchable!

          Ice Cream Man kicks absolute ass (as do most early VH solos), but I don't know. There's just something about the "So this is Love" solo that hits me. I think the opening riff has perfect phrasing and feel (something missing from all solos, 5150 on).

          Oh, wait a minute, the solo from "Feel your love tonight" is fucking awesome too. Same type of "feel" to it. I tried like hell to play it, but can't get Eddie's phrasing quite right on this one (I suppose that's why I'm the AG, and not a rock star...)

          I don't know actually, I suppose it also depends on my mood when listening. All the early shit is just fucking full of great, great guitar work. Inspirational shit, even to non-guitarists. Does anyone actually get that from the VanHagar stuff? I know I don't. The guitar work is just lacking IMHO in VanHagar.

            I like the "Girl Gone Bad" solo.

              Girl Gone Bad solo is fuckin bad. Very cool! Love when the drums switch over to that beat with the ride half way through. That band was fucking ferocious!

                I'm kinda partial to "Somebody Get Me A Doctor."
                I like to pay close attention to the things I'll forget later...

                  Even though it's not on most people's lists of favorite VH song, I always though "Dancing In The Street" had a kickin' solo.

                        No, I haven't seen that yet. Have only seen a couple of tunes from that show. I can imagine it just fucking kills.

                          Yes, the opening of that solo is one of Ed's finest moments. Such a sassy hook. I love it.

                          As I've said, I walk around with that solo intro playing in my head half the day lately. It's goddamn perfect.

                            Shit, I had the vid on my hard drive, but its gone now. Totally sucks cause you gotta see it man. You know how from time to time you see something that reaffirms why you loved the band in the first place? This vid was one of those times for me. The entire band is killin.

                            Can someone please put this up?

                              I like Me Wise Magic solo and the guitar at the end of the song.
                              That guitar towards the end just kicks.

                                I love all Ed's solos especially: "Little Dreamer" and "I'm the One"

                                Every note on "Fair Warning" is mind-blowing.

                                BTW "So this Is love" was a combination of Ed's solos; he mixed them together to form one solo apparently.
