Angus Young VS Eddie Van Halen

[oldmancandy]

all of Angus's songs sound the same.

at least Eddie has enough sense to change the chords and not only the words!

[5150DC1984]

Eddie all the way. Sure, Angus has his own style: play the EXACT same riff for seven minutes. And while I agree with you, Synyster Gates is pretty BA, EVH had a hand in pioneering Gate's sound. To all of you who said Angus tops Eddie, go look up "virtuoso" in the dictionary. You really should see Eddies face as a definition, but if not, you can come back and tell me that i was right

[basketballman123200]

Synyster Gates. Nuff said.

[flashback917]

What do you mean by angus has his own technique? Eddie made tapping and shredding popular.

[jacobpickett44222]

jimi hendrix, but in this angus winns always

[woodsballmlz]

Why is this even an agruement? Angus is the best hands down

[THEFLYINGREDNECK]

EVH is the best guitarist of all time (NEXT TO RANDY RHOADS) in my opinion.

[ozzyruleshere]

HUGE HUGE fan of both bands, maybe ac/dc a little more but edward wins. Im 47 y.o.

[666TheBloodLust666]

AC/DC all the way!

[gabrielrodriguesFFC]

eddie é o melhor

[gabrielrodriguesFFC]

eddie é o melhor

[ningbers1]

This arent good solos of angus... You should make it a fair battle .

Then evrybady will see angus is better and the best

[BlackLabelForLife]

eddie is technically far superior

[gunnut1989]

come on really its not hard to tell ones an amature ones a pro and devoted his life to tone and creating his own style of playing that a generation tried to recreate and copy

[samturner31]

theres no part of a van halen solo that sounds the same. most of angus youngs are repeated to shit ! and if you say using effects is cheating your a retard.

[ex2soul]

i'll probably take shit from my mates for this.

i've always loved acdc always will but i'd have to say i think eddie is probably a better guitarist but angus young fucking kicks arse too saw him live in melbourne ( note i'm just basing my judgement on cds i own not on concerts as that wouldn't be fair as i have never seen van halen live what a bugger ) there is no doubt it my mind that both are some of the best guitarists in the world

[evhfrankie]

You people really have to dig into EVH to see in better as Anus...This guy didn't put Ed's greater solos in here ?!!!!

[R3dTigerM40A3]

omfg eddie van halen is mucc beer than angus young,i can play every single song from acdc..but never from eddie van halen,he have the hardest solo of all time prooved..his riffs too are wayy harer than angus young..its ot even comparable,edie van halen would be like the 3th best guitar of all time and angus not ranked in top 10..everyone who think angus young is better cant play guitar and are fanboys.bitches

[scottsteedman100]

bull crap angus is better live with it. get your facts right

[R3dTigerM40A3]

@scottsteedman100 rofl stfu bitch angus is good but not that good..he is creative but his not that skilled like th rest of the gang.all beggener can play every single acdc songs...

[RazoR3287]

They are both awesome and i cant really tell who is a better guitarist... but i like angus better so... ANGUS!!!

[Jameslee295]

Both of them are great but I like angus better.

[horrormovies88]

Angus, eddie is great but angus takes the cake!

[CaROoVH]

Edward Van Halen!!! X) haha hey you must be on Angus' side because you didn't put the best Van Halen songs!! : P hey but I still think Angus is superwow:)

[Jac0bM1ll3Y1]

And besides they are two totally different styles Angus' style may be harder than Halen's but Halen made a song using Angus' style and he did it way better way faster and ITS NOT SLOPPY AT ALL. and also when the radio plays an AC/DC song in the very first note I imidiately know its AC/DC when Van Halen comes on it takes a couple seconds to find out who it is because his style is more famous and much better!

[Jac0bM1ll3Y1]

Um you used shitty Van Halen and Shitty AC/DC songs so everyone stop saying it was unfair on AC/DC's behalf... And by about 1,000,000,000x more people say Eddie Van Halen is a way better guitarist Angus is a good guitarist to but he could never touch Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert and many many more of those guitarists guitar playing abilities mark my words NEVER he is not good enough and doen't say I hate AC/DC because that is not true they were the ones who inspired me.

[van01Hal3n7sAmyhag3r]

@jakator64 same i saw a ACDC concert when i was 14 in brisbane 2010 and that was sick but when i see van halen live that will be 120 x better

[Franklin1001nilknarF]

ANGUS YOUNG, VAN HALEN, PAGE, HENDRIX, CLAPTON, MORELLO, VAI I just don't like jusin bieber, and the new "popstars".

[Franklin1001nilknarF]

ANGUS YOUNG, VAN HALEN, PAGE, HENDRIX, CLAPTON, MORELLO, VAI I just don't like jusin bieber, and the new "popstars"

[DarkMagian324]

I love acdc but eddie van halen is a better guitarist

[Ermactime1320]

They didnt add ' Bad boy Boogie or Let there be rock" by Angus Young...Live in concert...if they had it would be a different story!, Plus Angus doesnt use the pedels and all the other things that Eddie use's. Angus plays it raw and pure, and i will always admire him for that!

P.S. I have seen Van Halen ( with Eddie) many times and he is very good... but has to have so much help with Audio when he is playing.

Just an opinion.

[debraann57]

Omgosh, did you just listen to Angus?.... Unreal & AMAZING!!!!!!!!!.........and I saw Van Halen 4 times,1 with David lee Roth,2 Xs with Sammy and then with ???? Eddie has a techniche, but Angus could play just as fast as Eddie, free style with his OWN techniche.., I like Eddie and give him credit, however i will always be an Angus Young fan at heart, always!, Long live Angus, { the original }!!!!

[NITRO71000]

@debraann57 LONG LIVE ANGUS!! XD

[debraann57]

@NITRO71000 Yes, Long Live Angus!!!!

[guitafire]

eddie has techniche but angus is an amazing shredder i both consider them as =

[ignacioM1999]

gana anguus 999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­9999 a 0

[MrSkidrowgnr]

if you listen acdc probably you will be familiarized with some music of them (if you have some music culture) 'cause they have a lot of famous riffs that angus created, like highway to hell, back in black, you shook me all night long, tnt...

By the way we can´t deny that eddie van halen have amazing solos with great speed and technique, and he was a guitar revolutionary.he inspired many others guitar players that came after him

so we can't compare them 'cause they are good in diferent areas

[KAIL166]

eddy van halen all the way i love angus too but eddy is number one

[TheHv1973]

angus

[oneeesnesnes]

hey man angus's solo in japan 1981 one of his best solo, why u didnt put it on your videos? many people just look angus from his fav song like you shook me and highway to hell and back in black, fact many songs from angus can blew your ear with his crazy technique, and also in donnington 1991 angus prove himself which not just can make a highest album by band ever but he can also prove himself's solo have quality!

[TheDanny385]

both are good, but angus' way of playing is harder to play, EVH is mostly tremolo picking and tapping, which is easy to dominate. but he still kicks ass

[hallalujaful]

angus, angus, angus

[Taylz10187]

angus can phrase better than van halen

[Vanhalen5150fan123]

they both rock but im going with EVH

[Shamaster56]

eddie all the way Van halen

[spiderstalin]

You should have included Two's Up for Angus doing a tapping section in his solo.

[lamatrixHNN]

angus young uses less effects than van halen. Van halen maybe sonds better becouse of his gain

[andredidiergijon]

angus is better

[tebarovski]

eddie is one of the best guitarists ever, angus is pretty good but boring

[rizzer2007]

@tebarovski oh cant you just shut up?

[Guitarist3568]

Angus is better sounding! Eddie also has an amazing sound! Angus is just better, if you want to go as far as skill and who can play better, then it's definitely Eddie, BUT in the world of music, skill doesn't mean anything! Angus can play, sound better, and has that AMAZING tone and puts on more of a show and just has magic fingers and overall i think he writes better music! I gotta give Angus this one! Because EVH vs Angus is like The beatles vs Rolling stones. Both good but one is more famous!

[TheMarkus16]

Angus is a great guitarrist, but EVH is a fuckin'GOD!

[slash4897]

OMG!!!

I don`t know^^

[MrHubbabubba33]

EDDIE ALL THE WAY .... Angus rocks but EDDIE IS A GOD!!!!!

[Fido456]

eddie is the better guitar player he revolutionized tapping, sound control, and put phaser and other effects on the map and if you say eddies all about tapping ur deffintly flatout wrong and i highly doubt angus could do half of what eddie does i do love angus though but halen even uses sum of angus tricks and made them better sorry guys.

[zetanbow16]

vanhalen period

[Rockerx7]

no contest evh al the way

[ACDCcrazyfan1]

ANGUS

angus

ANGUS IS THE BIGEST HE'S A REALY GUITAR HERO

but EDDIE IS A VERY VERY VERY VERY GREAT GUITARRIST

IF YOU ASKE FOR BOTH I WILL SAID ANGUS

BUT EDDIE IS A GREAT GUITARRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skaterman0094]

Eddie van halen is deffinatley better. But angus is a great guitarist

[sweatyleather]

Eddie is a lot better... not even close

[drumerboyish]

acd c has one of the most reconisable sound in rock eddie van halen in my opinion realy isnt that good

[drumerboyish]

aqcdc has more hits van halen only have about 8 hits

[pas321]

ANGUS

\o/

[angusrocks231]

Angus is better showman - Eddie is better at guitar - sounds way more complex than angus - AC better band tho

[acdcfan13535]

the reason that eddie seem better is just because angus use technical derived from blues, and come on eddie only uses fast picking and tapping

[thehendrix123]

Van Halen!

[ericvanhalen5150]

Eddie is definately better. Eddie has done so much more with guitar and he doesnt reuse the same chords in every damn song like angus. Eddie can play something and youll say damn how the hell then angus will play and you can damn near play instantly. Ac/dc rocks but angus cannot touch eddie any real guitarist knows that and if they think otherwise then there just dumb

[AngusYoungDeciple]

ANGUS ANGUS ANGUS!!!

[GMX7fan013]

Eddie

[hernyxxx]

angs pwn

[Mr80Rocker]

All I see is "Angus is better live performance" even so he is not technically better. Page was also a sloppy player live but he is better than Angus too. I would wrather watch evh play eruption live than have Angus run around in short shorts with no shirt all over the stage and then play let there be rock....

[HarleyRock13]

they are to diffrent genres of music you cant compare. TECHNICALLY VAN HALEN IS BETTER.

[Mr80Rocker]

Evh owns angus in, creativeness, technicallity and versitality. Angus can run around on stage in short shorts though. Seriously though, how can angus be better than eddie? I dont care who puts on a better show, I care about who plays better.

[pengapop12]

the one who plays better is angus, eddie is sloppy live, very sloppy

[masterjake7777]

@pengapop12

uhh yeah maybe for some of his shows but if you compare angus young and van halen when they were BOTH in their prime, evh destroyes angus in live performances

[simonie10]

angus!!!

van halen is a legend but angus is a super legend

[simonie10]

van halen is a legend but angus is a super legend

[mynamefsturstrst]

VAN HALEN hes had a solo album and a rocking band i like angus young but halen changes EVERYTHING u dont see them making guitar hero acdc there making a van halen guitar hero so acdc is nothing compared to van halen guitar hero only makes guitar hero to band the rock the chart

[arbitermatt]

There's a rock band AC/DC mate.

[Buffetta2]

angus

[heavymetal92892]

angus is my favoret guitarist but eddie kicks his ass

[Atreyufolife]

@heavymetal92892  edie vanhalen overated

[giveittomeidiot]

srry eddie angus puts on a btter show and have u heard him play let there be rock live? come on nothing beats that honestly. angus puts on a better show then any guitarist i know. dont get me wrong eddie is a god but angus just wins this battle. anyone can like whatever guitarest they want so dont star throwing a fit that i pick angus. i just think no one beats angus srry eddie

[RHMETAL]

Eddie wins by far.

[comdeyman887]

I'll have to say Angus

[mynamefsturstrst]

van halen cuz yo dont see angus going and like making solo work like van halen has 3 legendary solos what does angus have i srry van halen

[yeti109]

evh goes on abit doesn't he, very talented but how long do you want to listen to excessive tapping and feed back. ANGUS, ANGUS, ANGUS

[singthesong1]

i like angus young but i think that evh is better ,sorry angus

[123sete123]

angus young is a god but eddie van halen is my favourite!!!

[woetnie]

angus young is the best

[tizioincognito95]

van halen

[KofiBoadu]

Are ya kidding, hands down it is EVH. Look, everyone is saying Angus because they are looking at it from a band to band perspective which then of course AC/DC has more legendary status, but come on man, look at them individually as just guitarists and you will see Eddie is just beyond words to describe.

[giveittomeidiot]

ya whos better live? who puts on the better show? look at let there be rock live and tell me eddies better. you can like eddie in ur opinion but look at the other angus/eddie vid and see how many comments there are about angus being better

[masterjake7777]

@giveittomeidiot

yeah look at evh's live performances around the time of let their be rock and compare them to angus young's live solo's see who's has more talent?? uhmmm *cough* eddie

[theoxfordtillidie]

angus is better

[TheGaga24]

angus young for sur he is the best

[WinkingRaisin]

Dude angus young doesn't come even close to eddie van halen

[Guitarist3568]

@WinkingRaisin Explain why AC/DC has sold more than double the albums that Van Halen has? Explain why AC/DC sells out huge footballs stadiums and Van Halen sells out hockey arenas half the size! Because Angus is simply better!

[GlobalRockersUnited]

Both of them are gods of guitar. Lets foucus on the real enemy, Johas Brothers.

[iiscam]

Lol true true

[PossessedGuitarist12]

Guys I agree with GlobalRockersUnited. Lol But my vote is EDDIE VAN HALEN!!!!! I just love how he is so creative with his guitar, his whammy bar, and his tapping! He fascinates me!

And he's a great performer live! Eddie Van Halen!!

[ROCKFAN2K10]

@GlobalRockersUnited i think u mean jonas and totaly agree

[zed5000]

EVH!!!!!#1

[snipers2theEND]

u just CANT beat ANGUS YOUNG

[Danielciccio]

van halen is the best guitarist in the world!!!!

[ninehunterZ]

Angus isn't better than edddie and eddie isn't better than angus. They aren't same but they are gods of guitar.

[loryriga]

you're right

[tupac1346]

eddie van halen is a dick gobblin and angus young is jesus

[AbbeSJK]

Angus !!!

[Trooperx0]

acdc made songs that sounded back in the 1970s and they still sound like the 70s.

Van Halen's sound was never heard before it was like some alien shit and your gonna say this old ass faggets in shorts shorts did more for rock history then van halen..........

Im sorry but Eddie Van halen is a legend. Thats why hes guitar is 25000 dollars and angus is like not even 3000........Cause angus isnt a legend. Whens he gonna learn about distortion pedals.....its 2009.

[ACDCROCKS9601]

angus all the way! but u needed a better AC/DC song

[billman121]

i know. this doesnt do justice for angus, it was my first video

[KingHaggis]

Angus! Of course... Is there any doubt? You guys saying Eddie van Halen are kidding, right? It's like heavy plastic instead of hard rock with that guy :-)

[ptsmmrs]

i like angus but all AC/DC albums are pretty much the same but eddie has changed from album to album.

[sammoth1995]

eddie for sure angus sucks

[zeppelin1996]

It's really all a matter of opinion but I think Eddie is better. Angus is really good but Eddie is better in my opinion.

[wolkid]

think of it this way, Eddie could play all stuff from AC/DC, pretty much everyone agrees. but i could not see angus playing eruption... or quite a lot of van halen to be honest.

[tupac1346]

angus won with no competition anyone who picked eddie van halen needs to get a fucking life because no questions asked angus all the fucking world!!!!!!

[RANDALMAN543]

i like ac dc more but between eddie and angus its a tie

[jiabaman]

Angus! =)

[codytj3434]

if ur retarded you pick angus

[skeeton1995]

Angus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[bruceleerules747]

ANGUS!

[wolkid]

eddie van halen is probably one of the top 5 greatest guitarists ever. angus young is just power chords with occasional solos..

[dudenathon]

agree !

Eddie Van Halen !

[JohnnyPonny94]

Angus f*cking rules!!!

[skaterman0094]

EDDIE VAN HALEN WON THIS

[ShannarasHeir]

angus wins

[316lazaro5150]

EVH because he is an inspiration to some modern guitar virtuosos and has done so much for the world of rock n' roll. plus he's a guitar virtuoso and into the art of music.

VAN HALEN FOREVER AND FOR LIFE!!!

[sonna97]

angus is the best

[citrus850]

Angus is the best 100%

[mairava1996]

you can't compare angus and eddie. angus young is eddie!!!!! they should get married and have a supper guitar playing baby!

[dipdo13]

angus is good, but Van Halen is better especially when we talk about taping so Van Halen Wins

[gh4rocksBADASS]

angus is my favorite but BUT! van halen have the cooles guitars

[billman121]

so are you voting for angus?

[sing3r45]

u suck my balls

[ika68]

I think this two guitars players are good both of them ...

But technically, van halen is more electric sound where as angus young is more imaginatif . His live solos are excellent & so complicatly !

So angus is the winner !!!!! AC/DC 12 june 09 !!!

[angushammet567]

eddie can play technically but sometimes it seems random so angus wins

ACDC 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!

[killerguitar44]

Angus

[ilbtsfiles]

Angus is the Man
