These have made their rounds but they never get old so why not have them in one spot.

If you want to download and put them on your iPod use this site: http://www.zamzar.com/

I've heard these before and they are amazing. You really get a sense of how vicious and aggressive Eddie's playing was when he was young. Listen to I'm the One and then remember it was done in one take straight through, you can even hear Eddie roll off the volume knob on his guitar during the vocal harmony break.

I'm the One is an incredible song. And listening to the isolated guitar makes me appreciate the song even more. wow...

I know it wasn't 1978 sounding VH, but hearing that song live in 07-08' was a highlight for me- was just a blitzkreig of energy, and it sounded great.

Fuck the new album. Would rather pay for and listen to these.

Damn....having an eargasm listening to the isolated "Little Guitars". Fuuuuuck yes.
Just wish it wasnt missing the awesome pick slide that should be at 2:58.

I'm The One has always blown me away the most. Can't even tell you how many times in the car I bust out this isolated track. Sometimes I'll listen to it 3 or 4 times in a row.

Hear About It Later is the one that surprised me the most. I've probably heard the actual song a million times in my life but couldn't believe how different the mix and Ed sound on this.

Yeah, HAIL does sound different. He sounds 'slow' in parts. Kinda weird.

It's always good to hear Atomic Punk!!

What the hell was that sound at the 2:27 mark? Never noticed that before.

Others have said it WAY before me, but damn, does/has anyone attacked the guitar like Ed did?

After Romeo Delight, his guitar strings must be begging to be put back into the store after the ass whooping they just received.

Shit, these are totally new to me. Very cool - thanks for posting, DD!

I know this is old, but damn, just DAMN! I saw a lesson on this one the other day... A case can be made for Ed's most innovative playing on just about any song, but this one really does it for me. It almost brings tears to my eyes, it's so gorgeous. The whole band was phenomenal on the full version too. Totally underrated VH tune to the uninitiated...
