Absolutely.....Ed as the single guitarist in VH had the ability to FILL the rhythm of the song leaving no gaps, spaces or needs to overdub with fill ins. That's what Ed's playing & writing was like. Steven has hit the nail on the head here......On the 1st VH album for instance when Ted Templeman was producing at Sunset Sound he was told how on the Gene Simmons Demo's he had tried to emphasize OVERDUBS which didn't suit Edward because he loved to play LIVE.....& Ed said - 'Ted, can I just go for what I know & you record it all live on ONE track ? ....The Fill ins , the improv bits, the rhythm guitar/solo noodle switches'. ....& Ted let Ed record it this way. And on stuff like 'You Really Got Me ' and 'I'm The One' & during the playback Ted just shouted - 'WHOA !!! ....It doesn't even NEED another guitar' ! (Paul)
13:30 EVH at Steve's house. 21:28 5150 23:56 Believe (Rosen original) 31:35 Rosen original cont'd 34:43 Finding the rhythm 36:18 Melodies 42:26 The fade 49:50 Immortal Man or Mortal Man? 51:55 Mortal Man cont'd 1:01:20 Edward talking about the song then playing a little.
Taking Edward's advice on song structure & ideas would be a great idea actually......Remember how he re-wrote the structure of the song BEAT IT to optimize the effectiveness of the SOLO. It was always interesting to hear how Ed altered his OWN songs down the years too....For instance House of Pain had totally different sections in it before VH were signed. And Somebody Get Me a Doctor had a totally different INTRO.....And Drop Dead Legs were two separate pieces of music put together on tape by Ed & Donn Landee which gave the fadeout solo a fantastic wild build.
