I'll give him a solid 8.
He's able to express himself quite well behind the keys, and I can tell it's Eddie. That says a bundle for a keyboard player. I mean, it's hard to be distinctive on drums, a little easier on guitar... but on keyboards the sounds are pre-programmed. It all has to come from the heart and the fingers.Staying Frosty

10 - I would love to hear him play on a baby grand sometime, though. Hear something classical since that was the basis for his training early on.
And we have yet to hear the cello!Could this be magic?

I know one keyboardist in Metal/Rock that I'd rate a solid 10: Jens Johansson of Stratovarius.
Ed's around 5 or 6, but that's more than enough for Van Halen. And as a musician he's a straight 10, I think he could be a genius at every instrument if he'd practice it long enough.

I'd give Eddie and Alex 10's on their keyboarding skills, since they're both classically trained.

Ed's a 10, he's classically trained. I am sure he can do a hell of a lot more intricate stuff that than "Jump" and "Love Walks In." [img]smile.gif[/img]

His keyboard playing is as good as his guitar playing-10.

9.5. But of course he's off the scale for guitar playing.
