@kenno251 actually according to rolling stone magazine.. Jimmy hendrix is 1st and eddie is 8th..behind C Berry, BB King, Jeff Beck, K Richards, Jimmy Page, and Eric Clapton.. that is based upon what there peers have said.. and not the fans..
To the commentors comparing Eddie and Sammy- This is Sammy's song with Eddie playing along. What Van Hagar had lost in DLR's showman vocals they had gained with another set of strings with his own repetoire. I don't look at it as a competition. Diamond Dave had his moment (and now his yogurt) but what Eddie and Alex pulled together OVER THE YEARS has always been awesome entertainment. Yeah I was bitter too when Hagar took Dave's spot but I'll never dislike what the Red Rocker added to the band.
@haamerhed exactly, they were two different beasts, anyone that thinks music is or should be some sort of feat of skill or contest is missing the point.
WTF? always great to come listen to Eddie and some jack ass soundman or video uploader has his guitar turned OFF. Freekin OFF? WTF !! Sammy can't even keep up.! Jesus→ that sucked.!
Ill take Sammy and Michael over DLR and Wolfgang anyday. Van Halen at this time IMO was their best. Now i just thing Van Halen are drunken inbred hasbeens and i prefer Chickenfoot.
Sam gave Ed somebody to play with from time to time. Sammy's cool, but he can't hold a candle to Edward. Overall, It's good musicianship, GREAT ROCK 'N' ROLL.
The songs written in the DLR era were better, but this song is the pinacle of Van Halen. Two guitars is the best! Too bad Sammy didn't want to continue playing guitar, imagine the possibilities! Great song!
When it comes to VH I am a DLR fan. I do however believe that Sammy added an element to the band that neither Dave or anyone else since has been able to match. This is a perfect example of that added element. Thanks for posting.
@hiyaberty69 hell yeah..as far as i am concerned first came hendrix then jimmy page n then this guy...thats like the holy trinity as far as the rock guitar is concerned...love eddie...
Watch Eddies fingers he is the greatest guitar player of all time, thats right i said it .

I love Eddie, he could have played Sammy down the drain, but, he is very easy when he is playing this song
But when it comes to singing,Whoa, Sammy is the man!
I love the song and I love the way when Eddie downplays so lot.
Two superheros playing together!

Sammy was smart to never give up his solo Red Rocker idenity by opening VH shows with this song and really cool of VH to do it...

No matter what happened later on and how he fucked up, there has never been and never will be another like Eddie Van Halen.

Fantastic.....poor Eddie. Hopefully he's remembered more like this than for the sad state he allowed himself to get to.
