      To a degree, I believe that Eddie really benefited from Randy's death. I know how macobb that sounds but that isn't the only time an act benefited from the death of one of their contemporaries. I think ZZ Top benefited from the loss of Leonard Skinnard. I think JLo benefited from the loss of Selina. Hell I think Michael Jordan benefited from the loss of Lynn Bias. It's a recurring theme throughout pop culture.

Van Halen debut album dropped and that killed off Disco, substandard rock n roll and every poser who were trying to fool everyone by acting like they new how to play guitar. That impact was real and I was there , and I'm telling you it was that dramatic and the world of music , and especially the world of R n R has never and will never be the same , God Bless Big Ed , I Love You and Thank You fof countless hours of enjoying great music !

    My brother shared with me recently, he & his best pal went to see Van Halen in Feb/March of 1978, still unknown in the Midwest, & they were the 1st of the 3 bands to play that night, (Montrose & Journey were the other two). He said they were so blown away by Van Halen, they left the concert after they were done, (no longer having any interest in seeing the other 2 bands), & proceeded to buy Van Halen's album the very next day. History in the making, to be sure! Thankfully, their music will live on forever. RIP EVH 🎶

They weren't shredders. They don't sound anything like each other. Aside from some general licks that everybody did back then.

    Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads were definitely the two big gunslingers on the scene at the time that Vinnie Vincent came into KI$$. To be fair though, although Randy did name Eddie as an influence and proudly played a small piece of "Eruption" in his solo set with Ozzy, they were two completely different players. Randy really mixed a lot of the classical modes into metal, and Ed, although a master technician, still drew his style from the blues. Put it this way: they were both great, IMO.

      You can compare players all the live long day and say who is better than who and blah, blah, blah. The point of EVH is that he (by himself) reinvented, and reinvigorated how guitar rock was played and perceived. He totally turned the blues rock playing upside down. Now, Randy was a different animal altogether. Randy was the guy who introduced that neo classical sound and integrated it into guitar rock. While Randy’s playing was very polished and smooth, it did follow the “rules” if you will, of classical framing , While Eddie’s playing was sort of all over the place with strange sort of half bends, oddball tunings, (probably to make it easier on Dave) and just very unorthodox, outside the box framework. Eddie also was an innovator, coming up with wax coating pickups, using a variac to “power soak” his amp and inventing what is now known as the “brown sound”

      Absolutely. Paul knew first-hand how a game-changing band makes a lot of the competition suddenly look out of date - KISS did that by redefining showmanship and marketing for hard-rock acts.
      I’m sure his initial reaction to Van Halen was, “these guys have an awful lot going for them, topped off by the fact that they have one thing we do not - a god-level guitar player. We’d be crazy to give those guys a helping hand, they will probably be selling more records than us in a couple of years, why should we risk accelerating that timeline?”

    I was there for it all.
    Eddie upped the ante for a lot of guitarists. The Gunslinger was in full effect at the time. I got wrapped up in it like many others. I would eventually abandon a lot of it and go back to my strengths as a player, but once Shrapnel started up and Malmsteen, Gilbert, McAlpine and all thos rocket ships went into orbit I once again started woodshedding. I am just not a left hand guy. I do it OK and can ape styles, but my influences were pre Eddie. DiMeola and Sanatana were the guys that I was already copping. I ended up being a picker more than a legato guy. To this day I pick 85% of what I do. It is just who I am. Playing covers for 2 decades made me more vesatile no doubt, but in my own little world of my music I am a picker.
    But the entire Gunslinger thing was fascinating. I bougjt GW and GP magazines every month and the industry was humming with gear like never before or since.
    I am forever grateful to have been born in the mid 60s. I got to see and be a part of what will be considered the best times to be a musician and music lover. It was an embarassment of riches.

    I do remember Paul during other interviews about bands not wanting KISS opening up for them during their beginning run. They had the makeup thing and characters. Plus, great songs and Paul has always been a great frontman himself. Plus, KISS had 3 different guys, during the early days, singing lead vocals on different songs. Later on Ace started sing some lead songs like Shock Me and New York Groove. KISS opened up for Blue Oyster Cult during their first run and Blue Oyster Cult ended up opening for KISS like a year or 2 later. Kind of things like that happen in Music. Guns N Roses came out and it wasn’t long before they became a headliner and were basically kicking every band’s asses on rock scene. Obviously like Paul says in this interview is that they had to adapt to the hairband thing.

    VH was so important for rock in 1978 when everything was soft and bloated. I was only 10 but remember that time of Foreigner, Boston, F Mac, etc, and rock needed a kick. In 78/79' I bought TP Torpeados, both Police albums and Steve Millers greatest hits. I also bought all 4 of those Kiss individual albums. Kiss was like a starter band for boys becoming rockers in the mid-late 70s, where Zep was more for older kids, and IMO 1970's Rush is musical talent that's just off the charts, however I never bought a Rush album after Moving Pictures 1981.

  • @muziktrkr

    The question you ask at the 5 minute mark was good, because Paul's confessing KISS was starting to chase trends at the time, but he could probably have a whole conversation just on Sunset Strip history, because he looked for up and coming guitarists, looked for bands to support KISS there and even played the House of Blues on Sunset for his solo tour. I think Gene took Edward's quip about joining Van Halen more serious than he should have - Eddie basically said to Gene "I want to run away and join the circus".

    I’ll never forget where I was when I learned Edward asked Paul about solo albums. In hindsight, it was merchandising, obviously, but I can understand Eddie’s 1976 conundrum. It’s no secret Gene was aggressively recruiting Ed but that’s a great insight.
    Don’t worry Edward, every Van Halen album is a solo album IMO ❤
    This somehow reminds me of the time I saw a pic of an unmasked (73-77ish?) KISS in NYC and thinking it was the Ramones lmao.

      KISS was way ahead of others in their time. Just another changing of the guard imo. Yngwie, Satch, and Vai gave Eddie a run for his money. I wish Eddie had done instrumental work but he cared about the audience being part of the music by being able to sing along. He cared about melody and harmony and rhythm. What a craftsman.
