Ummm no. That’s not Ritchie trying to do Eddie. Blackmore had plenty of moments that were clearly inspirational to Eddie, if not blueprint for him. The YFNO solo from Live in London, the feedback segment on Space Truckin’ from Made In Japan…. no, Blackmore is doing Blackmore there. That this moment is not the best he’s ever done, well…. it goes that way sometimes when you take a real risk improvising every night you take the stage. In retro, one can clearly see where Eruption would not even exist if it weren’t for Ritchie getting up in front of 300,000 people at CalJam and setting the mold.

Incoherent music is not what people want to hear. Stick with what you're good at, and try new techniques on your own time if you haven't figured it out yet.

I love Edward and Randy and they are two of my all time favorites. As far as a musical master goes, I give the edge to Randy but Edward was truly an innovator. R.I.P. to both of these game changing legends. EV and RR forever.

Thanks Joe for checking out, great pleasure! I had to trim out that Blackmore part. Please check out the link in my comment below the video. The thing is that even Blackmore got influenced after Eruption. This is why he dropped his Ranbow project and reformed Deep Purple in 1984. In his 1984's interviews, Blackmore says that he admires AC/DC and Van Halen.

Randy is truly impressive in this clip. While Eddie's tapping was instantly a thing then, Randy was seriously into classical guitar music and his soling lines amply reflect that. Hats off to both Edward and Randy. Rock got a swift kick in the nuts when it needed one. Regarding Ritchie, he was a pioneer in heavy rock. He made a lot of noise in Made In Japan but man it was such amazing noise. The clip shown here is also noise making but he must be taking the piss. AC/DC is simply great.

Dear music fans. Keep in mind that these artists were, at the time, marrying and merging classical music with rock and blues guitar. In 1980, a musician appeared that awed them all in that form of new "neoclassical" guitar. This was, in all honesty, first being done by the great virtuoso Jason Becker, who tragically later fell ill to ALS. It was later revoluationarily popularized by another guitar virtuoso. His name was Yngwie Malmsteen. To all the fans of these wonderful and great artists, you are truly blessed to have witnessed their mastery, some, as life would have it, more than others. So with that being said, let us celebrate the music no matter if you're a Van Halen fan (rip), a Randy Rhoades fan (rip), an Angus Young fan or any fan of the other truly great and wonderful artists. It was a wonderful time to be young, free, and alive.

I say this with massive respect for EVH: Randy’s speed and precision are on a different level. Had his life not been cut short, and he continued with the same intensity and desire to learn, …. What could he have been?

I agree completely ! When it comes to technical precision and quality of hitting every single note clearly with complete perfection Randy Rhoads was above all others by leaps and bounds .while other players would lay down a solo for a song they wanted in a recording studio . the engineer then punch in or dubbed that recorded first take to add thickness to the track .where as Randy would play the solos 3 times consecutively (3 separate times) and punch them in one on top of the other for a triple tracked solo with each take was played with the same exact speed and as hit every single note precisely and perfection .that's something that set Randy apart from his contemporaries .Max Norman the engineer who produced those 2 Ozzy studio albums said he had never seen anything like it and hasn't to this day .Rhoads deep knowledge and dedication of the guitar was second to none .

Notice how effortlessly hes playing and how all the notes line up perfectly... dudes a genius

I’ve always said : “there’s honestly and truly no comparison between the 2 Randy and Eddie. They were both masters of their domains”. Through the studies that I’ve read,, Randy did feel a little threatened by the “finger tapping” of Eddie. He always felt that’s what the people wanted to hear. But remember Randy was the first to bring classical into hard rock.” They’re BOTH legends and had an honest respect for each other. Please stop trying to compare them. I dare say there’s not a person on this thread that can sound like either one of those 2 exactly. . Thank You all!! Keep Rockin!!

The songs and riffs weren't as high quality or consistent compared to EVH.

You can throw out all the superlatives you want about The Master, but there is never going to be an argument about his mastery of his chosen art. No else had players around the planet going "What the F is that". From his grin to his fingers Eddie was born to bring us joy through his expression of his art, and you can thank whatever god you believe in that he shared his joy with us. ALWAYS #1 UNPARALLELED. When the master emerged, from the opening chords of you really got me, every player knew the sonic landscape was changed in a way that was unheard of up to that time.
