Just watched Rush do this as well and I have to say....Lifeson rocked the solo harder than Ed. Ed's version stayed close to Clapton's while Lifeson put his own spin on it.

Eric Clapton may be God but Robert Johnson wrote Crossroads!

With Clapton being his guitar hero, you think he was going fuck this up?? Not on your life...

Before i say this i wanna say i like van halen and dont have anything against them but ive heard them butcher a couple of covers and when i clicked on this video i thought i knew what it was going to sound like...to heavy guitar and vocals...i did not see any of that in this song and am liking this version a lot!
-
oh yeah! He nails it, EVH spent his teenage years learning CREAM note 4 note..
-
@scottrap No...he dont play good enough yet for that
-
@superslayerguy Yes your very right. this crap sounds terrible...like they never praticed it one time. I think they try to practice but end up either drucnk or fighting or both.... complete crap really
-
So cool to see Eddie do a Clapton solo as Clapton did it. I expected him to starting squawking and tapping but he went old school and it sounded damn good.
-
Every body is gonna hate me but i have to day this...RUSH DID IT BETTER!

Is Wolfgang's bass even plugged in?
VH does covers better than any band I've ever heard. Everything they touch becomes bigger and better than the originals. Yet, I've never heard a band do VH much justice when being covered.....that says alot.

Ilove this, VH paying homage to EVH's hero Clapton. Eddie has said that when he was younger, he learned Clapton's solos note-for-note. I believe iut cuz this sounds great. I have a DVD called Edward Van Halen & Friends. The "friends" were ppl like Mellencamp, Don Henley, Steve Winwood and Bryan Adams. They played hits by each artists & EVH had to be a lead solo to each song. He was ONLY able to sound like himself. But HERE, he did well at copping the Clapton feel. Nice!
