My problem with EVH's solos is that you could take the one from Beat It and switch it with the one from Jump (or, frankly, any of 'em) and it wouldn't make a difference. a blast of lightning fast notes. You can't do that with the solos on Layla. The ones on Little Wing would make no sense in Tell the Truth. The ones in Key to the Highway would make no sense in Why Does Love Got to Be So Bad. Clapton's solo in While My Guitar Gently Weeps doesn't belong in Spoonful.
Through no fault of his own, I always thought EVH ruined rock guitar. Most of what followed was guys trying to play really, really fast in bad songs. Which is 99% of Van Halen's tunes.
In many ways, that's rap. Pinheads talking really fast. Trouble is, they're not saying anything.
I'd rather hear what Charlie McCoy played on Desolation Row than anything EVH ever played.
RIP Eddie. I loved Dance the Night Away and liked Jump.
