Slash Vs Eddie Van Halen Guitar Battle

[ninjatoth]

Eddie was better for his time,his style really fit into the 80's better,but slash's sound could easily fit into any era,it's simplier and timeless.Both great player-take the VS. out of it and they could rule the world!

[denise8620]

1000 veses la leyenda Eddie Van Halen

[JMarsh02639]

eddie is technically "better," and reinvented the instrument for generations (to this day.) slash was one of his "pupils," and even inducted him into the rock n' roll hall of fame.

slash's solos sound more "classy" somehow, whereas eddie's sound more spunky and aggressive.

[labrecque19]

There's no decision to be made here. Both probably two of the greatest guitars of all time, probably the greatest in hard rock history. Extremely talented men, its amazing what they've both done for music in the past decades. Slash, so amazing, such a kick ass at life. Eddie, he's just got the best look on his face, the worlds most amazing hands, and hey: if you don't have fun with what you do, can't be any good at it.

Keep kicking everyones ass guys. Rock hard!

[edgrazeify]

ok..there s NO fucking way you can choose...both are such truly amazing axe handlers.... seriously...no contest...two of the all time best guitarists ever....

[jkdnu]

eddie van halen tutta la vita



[gnrluischavez]

slash es mi favorito tiene solos increibles. se q van halen a sido un innovador y tiene un sonido unico pero yo prefiero a slash es mi principal influencia musical

[69eerrgg69]

Me quedo con Eddie Van Halen!



[rouder1998]

there is no doubt that eddie van halen is the winner......but you cant hate slash because hes just so great!!!

[tbonenyc00]

Dont get me wrong, slash is a amazing guitarist, but you cant really compare to eddie.

[mysteryrida]

EDDIE FOR SUREEEE! hes way more influential to the guitar world, its a crime to even compare van halen to guns and roses. no van halen means no groupies, and everyone loves groupies. wink wink

[KornIsGreat69]

slash is good. but eddie is better.



[KornIsGreat69]

it pisses me off when people say slash is the greatest guitarist ever. stevie ray vaughn would smash him out anyday. (if he was still alive. RIP stevie.)

[flyinghorseshoe666]

slash

[TheBeatlemania18]

van halen

[7711boman]

Slash is ok but to compare him to EVH is a joke

[therandomsk8erben]

2 things:

1) It's a guitar battle with Van Halen and you don't include Eruption?

2) My vote goes to...Billy Gibbons. :D

[mackman008]

eddie hands down

[rockmanroll2]

equal

[davegoestohollywood]

Slash doesnt belong in the same sentence as EVH

[eduardhalf]

slash win!!!

[alexa2597]

SLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lml gooooooooo!!!!!!! :D

[relliknomlas]

 slash got it

[colesmomII]

go slash.

[MuZicMotivat0r]

Slash rained on VH's solo in the last round. Slash is the winner.

[lamprey69]

Slash learned off of Eddie as an influence. just like Beck taught Satriani and he tought Vai! its an influence thing...my money is on Lennon and Harrison!!!

[therandomsk8erben]

@lamprey69 Satriani also taught Kirk Hammett. :D

[Skedaren]

It's not even a competition för Eddie...sigh

[guffy194]

could be awesome if they had a guitar battle in real life

[cassetadasweb2]

EVH beats slash ass of

[DimondTrix]

I like em both, But to me slash has way more emotion in his solos.

[bandit25501]

@DimondTrix very agreed with ppl think its jst how fast u play. its how u play that makes u the best

[Falloutfan961]

@bandit25501 yeah, eddie is my favorite shredder but slash is my main favorite because hes amazing without being the fastest strummer alive.

[LosKatz]

van halen

[TheDilligan]

yeah i don't see the big deal about slash, hes good but overrated.. Eddie wins this battle... but both these guys loose a lot of the youtube battles... I've never seen slash win any though lol

[hypernova20]

Of course Eddie Van Halen is the greatest guitarist ever...this video is like comparing a Lamborgini to a broken down scooter that was made in China,,,Long live Eddie all the way

[pipsqueek14]

music is not a competition. you only have personal preferences and i prefer eddie over slash. but that doesnt say i dont like slash. he plays very well.

[MrRC1992]

@pipsqueek14 Well said. ( :

[WESmuthafukkinFOSTER]

Eruption by eddie van halen, that is all

[Mantronix10]

And the winner is..............Prince: See the greatest guitar solo ever! ft. Prince. Prince eats guitars for breakfast, then shits them whole on the way out...LOL,..but on the serious tip, my vote goes to Eddie Van Halen, hand's down.

[MrThatsYe]

Eddie Van Halen by farrrrrr

[expectnomercy1]

Neither win dimebag darrell would make them both look like

[gamitas13]

axl rose dace better wath they two

[ckathyrn]

dude, eddie wins by a landslide. he can play guitar WAY better than Slash. No offense to him.

[Kingcounty11]

Slash wins in terms of sound

[wannabyourdog]

EVH oozes of talent and soem people are born with the feel of a guitar and EVH has that.....Slash is great don't get me wrong, every body has to give credit where credit is due.



[frwyguy]

Eddie of course

[redhard16]

Eddie win unfortunatly

[MetalABCPaulista]

Eddie Van Halen Wins !

[tama3774]

I take that back!!!!! EDDDY VAN ROCKS!!!!

[tama3774]

Joe Satriani smokes anyone,,,,,,Eddie your next!!!!

[rythemdevil1]

You want to hear something that will blow ur mind.... EVH - Respect The Wind.... much more heart and feel then Slash ever put out!! In my opinion...

[Guitarcrafter13]

I think theyre both grat but i gotta go for slash, i mean i grew up listening to guns and roses.

[Cannabliss92]

You fucking dick

[deathmunchy]

Theres appeal for the larger crowd as far as how things sound. Think of all the electronic music around. People like how it sounds. Slash does this well and is very proficient. Eddie is a speed demon with above average technically.

[hi6693]

slash i believe i mean truly believe that being good at guitar is sifferent than being fast

[vedlkin111]

@hi6693 eddie isnt just fast :P gotta go with VH

[Gcon957]

Great, now play eruption live by evh. It is 10 minutes of face melting madness. Eddie rules. watch this video that plays on my channel. Visit my channel please, its Eddie van halen shredding.

[EdonStars]

This is just my opinion but Slash has more soul and Eddie is faster.

[TheNeonet2010]

Who think Slash has a chance on Eddie, go listen Eruption.

[pelletgunhunter911]

In the video don't cry.... I totally flinched when i saw axl's ass.. And why would he let people paint his ass anyway?

[rjtmrjtm]

I dont think this is a fair comparison. Both are two different players with different styles. I think eddie is by far a better player and is much more advanced, but I think that slash's solo writing skills are much better and have more feel to them. I also think slash has much more of an image than eddie, but eddie was more revolutionary. I think both guitarists are amazing at what they do and can't be compared, because both of their solos are completely different and have different styles.

[jeremymarelich]

Eddie is probably the greatest guitarist of all time and a wikid keyboardist coz he plays keyboard in Jump also why was there no eruption :(

[newwavebob1]

Eddie is twice the player.

[MrThePuffman]

um....why isn't eruption in here?????

[scottabaum]

@MrThePuffman he wanted it to be fair haha

[nortonsign]

easy win EVH by a billion miles. Slash even says EVH was a golden god of guitar during rock 'n roll hall of fame ceremony. Easy win

[Dovahkiin360]

STFU Everybody who said van halen Slash is GOD.

[ahh10123]

@Dovahkiin360 he is good but not eddie good

[321evh]

eddie is the winner, he is the best of all times and you need to put in the video eruption and spanish fly

[MegaRedBlackWhite]

Slash!!!!!!

[blackgamma14]

they are both equally good, but i think im gonna have to give it to eddie...

[TheBrainFart101]

no brainer there......eddie by a mile

[MadDaniell]

Eddi win

[Aldemuvs]

Eddie is better but slash does a great job of mixing the solo into the song, which was the key to the great guirarists of the 80s

[adstanra]

EVH is the greatest guitarist ever....Slash is great.

[MRFUCKFACE1488]

Eddie, Slash, Slash Eddie!!! Fuck knows, they're both fantastic in their own right!!

[andybill49]

Eddie by a mile!...wasnt even close!

[EnterSandman57d]

ediie... however i still celebrate vounderslash!!! thumbs up if you understand!

[KitRamsey1]

King Edward! Slash=most overrated guitarist

[KitRamsey1]

KING EDWARD! SLASH= MOST OVERRATED GUITRIST

[F3502000]

Eddie without a doubt! He and Jimmy Page are the best...that would be a more fair comparison.

[BOGATA9]

Slash vs Eddie the Great!!! EDDIE VAN HALEN IS THE WINNER WITHOUT QUESTION.

[Tiscali1981]

@BOGATA9 funny, in my opinion: there are only winning people here!! Slash and Eddie are my 2 biggest guitar heroes! So where are the best guitar players born? Holland and the UK eat that America!!!! :)

[jelainha1]

I dont get why Eruption wasnt on here...?

[joshkosh95]

@jelainha1 because it would absolutely obliterate the competition and thus create a tear in the fabric of the universe!

[cropob]

MAB.... he is the winner

[luniblaster]

Slash is a very good guitarist, but he doesn't make even a single chance against Eddie.

Thats becouse Slash sounds great, but Eddie also creates an insane solo to play.

[mhandley101]

Slash created an image that was Iconic!!

[Munch454]

this is like comparing angels to god, i mean, the angels are brilliant but gods just on another level

[TheNeverendingfire]

they are both amazing!! stop comparing, everyone! don't forget the purpose of music is to listen to it! shut the fuck up already!

[TheKennedy2468]

i like both but eddie wins sorry

[DazedAndConfused1974]

Lmao, as if Slash had any chance against Eddy. Shit, even against any guitarist.

[MrRC1992]

@DazedAndConfused1974 Fuck you, Slash is a legendary guitarist. If you can't accept that, yer just a fucking moron.

[venomsixx]

@MrRC1992 hey bitch. slash sucks. like REALLY sucks. hitler was a legendary human being, but for the same reason slash is; they both suck.

[MrRC1992]

@venomsixx Well, hello bitch to you!

First of all: Fuck You.

Second: How do you even dare to compare Slash to Hitler. Hitler was a fucking terrible human being and you compare him to one of the most stylish guitarists ever? That's such an illogical comparison that even George W Bush wouldn't come up with.

You must be a very sad person to make such comments. I pity you, you fool!

[venomsixx]

@MrRC1992 You're right. Bush would compare Slash to Saddam.

[MrRC1992]

@venomsixx Yep, and Bush being one of the most retarded people on earth makes the comparison Slash-Saddam invalid. Conclusion: Slash is a fucking great guitar player, so is Van Halen.

[gromitcheese23]

@MrRC1992 just stop defending someone who doesnt even know you exist, im sorry but getting angry over a small comment is just ridiculous okay.n -.-

[MrRC1992]

@gromitcheese23 Why would I listen to a random person who I also don't know? I'm not defending anybody, i'm just giving my opinion.

[Gcon957]

@venomsixx You on some kind of medication we should know about?

[reconcmmdo]

Eddie

[gustavo53209]

EDDIE VAN HALEN VICTORY EVER!!!!!!

[patrickteto]

OK let me start with that they are both Fk'n great !

You can't put them heads up,Ed tunes with the brown noise and Slash tunes way different with tone and effects..

Two different set ups and styles.

If you play a bit of guitar you will soon see that you can't rip with the same settings at all,and the tunes you put up against each other couldn't be further apart from styles.. Two different animals man,but still enjoyed the post. TKX..

[Jeeperanthony]

Who cares who's "better" I like both, and will listen to both. Why's it gotta be a competition?

[ipsofacto297]

Slash and G&R are the WAYYY overrated. In fact, I'd even go as far as to say that other than 2 or 3 songs (that everyone is sick of hearing)...they SUCK!! This comparison is not even close.

[TheMagooey]

@ipsofacto297 - there are better guitarists around e.g. Satriani, but to say they suck when they write and play such good music has very little weight coming from a neverwaz.

[Thelamonts1]

Make it more interesting...add Eric Clapton and Paco De Lucia!!!

[theeuprise]

this is bullshit, you tell that the guy that made this video is bias towards slash. he was too scared to post panama, ain't talking about love and of course you really got me featuring...ERUPTION!!! come on play eddies best!

[narggla68]

HOW CAN YOU COMPARE SLASH TO EDDIE?SLASH SUX BIG MUSLIM BALLS!

[80shairbandtributes]

hahaha eddie van halen best guitarst ever

[1964mrchris]

No comparison. Styles are so differe

nt. They are both great.

[dyno1316]

There is no contets ever created to gage musicians.

[rjefl14]

Give me a break no competition, the best evah.....EVH!!!!!!

[zipcounty]

Eddie Van Halen vs. Slash. Hmm. . . Not much of a battle considering EVH=God

[jmanbombs321]

eddie won the creator of the video is a ***ked up B@$tard

[GLJudy]

They  both shine but Eddie has his knack i'll leave it @ that

Luv ya Eddie

Slash you rock Bro I tip my hat to ya

[Gcon957]

Eddie is the number 1 guitarist. Ive seen led zep, vh, guns n roses, and even santana live, and evh has been the best live guitarist. He is the best alive.

[CoreThrasherGLB]

@Gcon957 You're crazy lol

[CatchinProjection]

@Gcon957 Eds a stale old wanker.

[vertigo453]

@CatchinProjection  Oh no the noyd is back!!!

[CatchinProjection]

@vertigo453 I'd say oh no, the wank is back, cuz its all Eds got and its all anyone wants to hear from him, and I'm fairly tired of it by now. It was once new and exciting but degenerated into a rather lame gimmick over time. Like the solo in Jump

[easttexaspcrepair]

And to think... Eddie started out playing drums and Alex started out playing guitar.

[ShadowEliteEpic]

Eddie VS slash is like Lion Vs Tiger one fast and one strong.

[TheIcefreeze]

@ShadowEliteEpic No duh slash is a leo

[narggla68]

@ShadowEliteEpic DO NOT EVER COMPARE SLASH TO EDDIE!EDDIES A GOD SLASH IS A MORTAL!

[Buurzalbai]

m8, you need to know a few things about tigers and lions first. they have the same strength and agility, tho, tigers prefer a ambush attack, quick and fast kill and lions are all about a smashing charge with all the strength of their torso. both are powerful and some idiots actually tried to see which animal could win in a fair fight and the result was: they both respect each other and do not fight...simple. :)

Van Halen and Satriani would be a fair fight, not Slash... ;)

[patrickteto]

@Buurzalbai You made a better point then I did when I tried to say they had way different styles and tuning.I like your idea much better Ed and Joe would be more entertaining and the only winner out of the two, would be us for sure...Good post man........

[keithj73]

Eddie rules hands DOWN ,LET ME KNOW AT THE GRANGE

[rickgmi]

That True this is not a Fair Comparison, Slash needs more Practice to go against Eddie. He's Probably one of the all time fastest

[TheJonas06]

@rickgmi just beacuse Eddie is one of the fastest it doesn't make him the best, they are both amazing guitar players and i can't tell you who is the best.

[warzillazonk53]

@rickgmi actually Les Paul gave van halen lessons

[ruffles272]

Well, Slash's solos are a bit more controlled, with a great amount of feeling. Eddie's solos are more all over the place, but it works out perfectly for him.

[LOMAZ5150]

basically once you have a battle with eddie your fucked

[nonplayerzealot4]

Heh. Did he really use the Beat It solo?

[nnoose]

evh won before the fight began

[dadof566]

Eddie is the BEST!!! always was and always will be...

[LastKingTuga]

Eddie Van Halen own Slash so easy

[Brightfire223]

DUDE You should have played eddie shedding Eruption his master guitar solo!!

[philtangerine]

There is no reason to even mention the name S**sh in the same sentence as EVH. EVH is one of the Gods of rock guitar, one of the 3 or 4 most influential guitarists of all time. S**sh is just an imitation of others who came before him. A pure poser (all of that sad pathetic band Guns and Roses was just a wannabe version of Aerosmith, which was in fact, a wannabe version of Led Zepplin). EVH created a whole new way of playing guitar.

[AndyEmory09]

...Eddie OWNED Slash....over and over and over again. This wasn't meant to be a serious video was it?? put this in a mod, take away the drums, singer (sorry Axle) and the BASS..let them PLAY..and LISTEN..lol over and over again..a battle is JUST the two..lol not the two whole bands and their best songs. #ownsdrumbattles

[AndyEmory09]

[THCjuiceman]

wtf why didn't you put eruption? and eddie wins

[UndisputedDelta267]

This is completely unrelated, but Axel Rose, or David Lee Roth?

[Brightfire223]

@UndisputedDelta267 oohh! well axel isn't bad but david lee roth pones he rocks!

[kokoro739]

@UndisputedDelta267

DRL

[kokoro739]

@UndisputedDelta267 

DLR

[GHclaudio]

you are a fail ! you put slash's best solos but only one of evh best solos

[mikester245]

anyone else notice he didnt put it eruption for van halen? just sayin

[MrRico95]

if you wanted to show their sickest solo's you failed, put in paradise city for slash and eruption for van halen.

[Dkdsr50]

Eddie, All the way



[MaruHiga]

dziwko.

[MaruHiga]

Slash epic win

[jackasskoev]

I still dont like these fake vs clips. They all suck.

[jackasskoev]

Eddie - yeah a great musician, but you can't say Slash is bad, i think he feels it more - witch matters. Not just showing off with technique.

[PofV]

ROTFLMAO Slash vs Eddie Van Halen? Slash? Can't stop rotflmao. Slash? Really?

[petewat98]

Slash just got butt raped.

[halbridious]

LOL. This isn't a fair comparison... Slash is a riff man - he creates 15 seconds of fury. van halen is a designated solo artist.

[1001gymflake]

You are kidding, RIGHT? Slash vs. EVH? Hands down, I take EVH. Nice try. Not even close! Slash is OK, but not even CLOSE to EVH. Get a clue! Let's get serious next time.

[disienna]

I love Slash, but in truth they are not the same league skill wise. Their music is about equal IMO.

[cleancookizz]

dude these two arent comparible

[kokoro739]

Guitar Battle?????? you´re crazy men? Ed Van Halen the BEST GUITARIST EVER!!! My favorite musician of all time so much soul amazing feel!

[gage7199]

@kokoro739 hell no jimmy page is the best guitarist ever

[Dontwant2thinkofuser]

You used november rain for slash and not eruption for van halen?.. still EVH

[axmen9]

slash?? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, slash! HA HA HA HA HA!!! No contest, thats like bringing a knife to gunfight. Seriously, slash ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....c'mon, tell another joke!!! ha ha ha ha that is so funny!! EVH rules, no doubt about it....do your homework boy!

[MrScared99]

slash,n lars way to overated

[Chantalle38]

LOLOL That beat it solo took 15 minutes to do. Beat it, Slash

[Chantalle38]

Slash has a lot of soup to eat yet.

[TheCEMF]

Slash?Who's slash?

[davizin1]

van halen!

slash is good, but he's more a poser than a player

[MoaBe5]

Eddie Van freakin Halen all the way, 'cause he frickin rocks for the f ever! But Slash is really really really awesome too :)
