Remember,Eddie doesnt play like everyone else,everyone else plays like him. I want you guys to do some reasearch....Take a listen to the first Van Halen album.......done? Ok,please note that the album was made in 1978. Now,I want you to listen to every album or guitarist from 1977 on back. Ok,can ANY of you name a guitarist that even REMOTLY sounds like Eddie?? I'll save you some trouble,YOU CANT!! There is NO guitarist before that sounded or did anything like that! Now,listen to guitarist from 1979-2008,how many play like Eddie? THOUSANDS,MILLIONS! Every guitar player after VH1 sounded like Eddie. THATS why he is ALWAYS listed in any 'top 10 guitarist' list. Eddie made TWO HANDED HAMMER-ONS famous,not just tapping(he did that too). You can also thank Eddie right now for most of your guitars right now too,since he not only changed the way we PLAY the guitar,but our guitars itself. If I was to list every damn player that I have read In Guitar World Mag who said VH inspired and influenced them, we would have to dedicate a website to that!! Its obvious to know Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen, Rhoads, Lynch, Jake E. Lee, Hammett, Dimebag Darrell, Marty Friedman, Dweezil Zappa, Zakk Wykde and many others where influenced by VH. But think about those who arent so obvious? Dudes like Slash, Ty Tabor of King's X, Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction, Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins, Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, Trey Anastacio of Phish, Buckethead, Tom Morello of RAGE, Kerry King of Slayer and more!! They are all huge VH fans and have said VH inspired them tremendously. EVH great palyer

Carlos is a great name, I know some, don't you? How many Wolfgangs do you know.
BTW, you sound a bit racist.
