I SAW VAN HALEN'S 1978 WORLD TOUR. and i remember leaving the show and i remember a lot of people saying jimi hendrix who? i share this with people thet saw that 1978 world tour and they said that they said the same thing.

@stratdem That is because from 1978-1981 Eddie Van Halen was untouchable. Nobody before him or during that time (other than maybe Randy Rhoads) could even come close to him. Hendrix was a good rock player for his day, but Eddie, especially in his prime, could totally outclass him. Although, the studio cut of Voodoo Child has to be among the greatest guitar songs ever. It is mind blowing to me. It's too bad that Hendrix could never do it justice live.

Incredible recordings! Where did you get these? Phenominal. The photos are awesome also... Are you a collector or are you related? Serious question.

[zackvanhalen]

@NiwRadNosiRRaL I'm not related to anyone in VH. I'm just a fan. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoy my posts.

Is it wrong that im hard ?

[zackvanhalen]

@bosoxyaz8 No, that is a perfectly normal reaction to VH. Just be careful. If it lasts longer than 4 hours, go to the ER.

@zigzag743 He completely changed the electric guitar, and you DIDN'T.

Jimi on steroids....

[tulkas1100]

@stratdem One of the all time greats! Love his playing. Those who are saying Jimi who are misguided however. I think even Eddy would tell you that.

@zackvanhalen No Van Halen is MORE freaky than all that. He specifically lined up the strings when putting them on the guitar, and he talks about having to twist the ball of the string while bending to stop it breaking and keep it in tune. This was with his earlier guitars... It's quite astounding really- his involvement with guitar developments got a little lost in the marketing. Apart from all the myths- this Edward VH guy is also a very intelligent insightful person.

wow...i need a cigarette after that

Then, now, with Dave, or with Sammy, there will never again be another Edward Van Halen, or anyone even remotely close. He is the King! ROCK ON!!!

@theShowStopper321 detuning is actually one of the reasons why he didnt' snap them. it's easier to get those bends out of the guitar when the strings are tuned so low.

This is so good it cannot be legal. Eddie is running from the devil for sures.
