I genuinely liked Gallagher sid, especially when he let rip, but tbh anyone can spoof their way through the blues and the pentatonic scale. EVH is playing mixolydian and harmonic minor scales in a one take. EVH is the GOAT dude.
Hardly spoofing his way DB, regarded as a "guitarists, guitarist"
Turned down the Stones and Deep Purple!
I think it was 5 or 7 encores at the Jimmy Hendrix" Isle of wight festival!
After which when Hendrix was interviewed as the greatest guitarist in the world , he replied with something like "no that's rory gallagher"
Check out "what in the world" for melodic solo!
Listen for the similarity with Zepps "since i've been loving you"
And you can tell straight away , he was superior to Jimmy Page!
I do like a lot a of Van Halen stuff, but I honestly think , true Rock music was in decline in the 80's, when you youngsters where growing up.
The days of great British bands like Sabbath, UFO, Deep Purple, zepp, where replaced by shite like Saxon, deff leppard!
The bands from the states were superior, even Bon Jovi were better than what britain was producing!
BTW , I'm on site in and staying in an hotel in Dundalk so in a very gipsy argumentative type mood
