You know... His rhythm playing has always been exceptional. I love the fact that in the old days they recorded everything live with very little overdubbing and punch ins. That is the true path to the happy hunting grounds

So piercing that people have tried to emulate it ever since they heard it for the first time.
Like it or not this is the tone that changed the world...

Really impressive. Really not what I've ever wanted to sound like, but that's ok.

One of my favorite VH tunes. It is funny while just the guitar track play I can hear the whole song playing with Eddie. Some things in this recording towards the end I couldn't hear well when I used to study this song. It is so nice to hear these parts.

No, that was the tone that changed the 80's. I hate it. Quite possible the single most overrated tone ever. THIS is the tone that changed the world.

Couldn't disagree with you more on this. It's not the fizzy late 80's sound... it's not the wall of mush that so much modern medal is. It really is the evolution of the Hendrix tone. The rhythm has balls but is still distinct... the bends and harmonics slice through the mix like a jazz trumpet.
I love the Beatles for their song writing... but I love EVH for his tone and rhythmic layers. A one man wrecking crew. Love love love it.

a tad bright and overly distorted there
but in general his tone is pretty epic
listen how it cuts through
the shitty keyboards
it sits in the mix perfectly

this is the tone
if you dont like
this you dont like
paf into plexi
you dont like rock.
pretty sure this is all 1 take,
which is amazing in itself
all his songs stand alone and work
as music.
listen to his rythm, dude swings!

It is a little harsh when isolated. In the mix it sounds pretty good though.

yes! Ever listen to Page play his Danelectro by itself? absolute rubbish...but sounds good when the band kicks in

THIS is the sound of rock.
I'm not disputing that Eddie could play; I'm just saying his signature tone is incredibly overrated and when not viewed through nostalgia eyes, sounds pretty crappy. I understand that his tone sounds a lot better in the mix, but even then it manages to be piercing and wooly at the same time.
