eddie van halen vs randy rhoades . tough one, but im gonna have to go with RR

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Eddie Van Halen! easy man!

 

[Astrum]

van halen.

 

[Draznog]

Me.

 

[Babykabob]

eh, both sloppy, they both lose...As far as note choice though, I'd have to say RR, for his more classical approach...van halen is too "party" for me, mostly

 

[greasemunkey]

i agree, but at the same time, vh spread the art of the tapping

this is true...he was an innovator, and i suppose if you're talking chops alone then i'd probably say VH, but i dislike his songwriting mostly...

 

[Carcassian]

EVH.

Rhoads... every single song on both the Ozzy albums he was on were/are classic as opposed to VH which not all songs were... and I dont think Rhoads chops were sloppy... with the exception of Tapping VH didnt really do much IMO.. ok maybe the whammy bar... but Rhoad's took what VH did and did it better and mixed in classical and other influences including more modal playing..

 

[Babykabob]

Yeah, musically i Love RR, his style and note choice was unmatched, but he sounded sloppy. He would layer multiple guitar tracks, and you can hear the different tracks conflicting cuz they're just a tiny bit off

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Bottom line. Van Halen is better than earlier Ozzy

 

[Base Delta Zero]

Eddie Van Halen. It's a shame such talent was surrounded by such mediocrity.

 

[Mythos Inibri]

Both very excellent guitarists,but I'd have to go with Eddie although
I liked Ozzy albums more than Van Halen ones

Aye okay then Mr Vai.

 

[Mythos Inibri]

Aye okay then Mr Vai.

 

[VadimVon]

Edward fucking Van Halen

 

[Ender Rises]

Rhoads, easily. He did get sloppy but his I love his tone and his music is just more inverntive... EVH didn't invent tapping, he just used it alot when noone else was, and tapping has never impressed me anyway, as it is pretty easy, at least to me.

I just don't hear his sloppiness in the Tribute album.... perhaps on Blizzard of Ozz album but definetly not on Diary of Madman album... and the sloppiness if any was due more to the recording process then his playing IMO...
