The Best Eddie Van Halen Solos Tournament - Dave Era
Well I'm doing my first tourney, mainly because I'm seriously curious to see who would win here at VH Internet Central. And I'm going to do a Sammy/Gary Era one after this and have the victors go head-to-head at the end for the championship.
This is simply voting for what you think is the best guitar solo from conventional VH songs with vocals, so that leaves out "Eruption" obviously and any instrumental. Also, if a song has two solos (like "Dreams") you can count whichever of the pair you prefer. Solos that end songs (like "Drop Dead Legs") count as well. I nixed songs without solos (like "The Seventh Seal") but kept ones with some sort of solo, even if it's mini (like "Dirty Movies"). Also, I needed 64 for the Dave Era to make it even, so I threw in "Beat It" since the count was only at 63. Not to mention I wanted it in there anyway because I know it will compete, it's his most popular outside of a VH album, and among his best. BOVI and ADKOT are included of course.
Voting ends Wednesday, 11:00 PM EST:
Jump vs. “Dirty Movies”
I’m the One vs. Little Guitars
Hot for Teacher vs. You and Your Blues
Beat It vs. Bullethead
Hear About It Later vs. Beautiful Girls

Thanks. Or maybe it doesn't matter?
And you are so fucking right about "Blood and Fire."

Dude. That was killer! I've never heard him throw in Mean Street intro into a song before. It was so quick too. You study this shit like a forensic pathologist. [emoji3]
Happy 68th Birthday Alex Van Halen!
