Ambos son geniales pero EDDIE
Eddie, sin duda
Para cuando una batalla Brazil- Argentina? Sin rencores
Couldn't say, both I like and they are different.
👍😉🤘
Now they can both shred together in heaven
Damn straight
🤘🏻😔
With Neil Peart on drums.
And with John entwistle on bass
Eddie can duel with Jimi Hendrix now
the mr crowley solo is one of the strongest solos in history.
the live version from the tribute especially, takes you to another plane
Crazy Train, as well. So compact, concise, and full of energy, flair, and concentrated musical substance.
What about the solo on Tonight?
So beautifully melodic
There can be only One Of course EVH Randy Was a new Genesis of a Kind not to be seen again Hard What a Grand
Love Eddie's chord progressions and tricks, but Randy Rhoad's solos are god level art.
👍😉🤘
I like Eddie more personally
No Eddie did not invent finger tapping. He was the first one to use it alot in Rock and roll but he didn't invent it .
@@isaacmorrow7077 sir finger tapping goes back long time ago . Do your research. Eddie did make it . more famous when he started doing it in rock then other rock guitar players started doing it . So he did contribute to the rock scene with finger tapping.
@@isaacmorrow7077 Well for starters I saw Adrian Belew do it while playing with Zappa a good 2 years prior to EVH coming onto the scene.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY BOTH ARE GONE
🤘🏻😔🤘🏻
Me neither man...
Damn it :( R.I.P. Randy and Eddie
really.?
@@bconni2 yes?
I am a rhoads person, so I vote Randy but Eddie is great too

Otie Jason being drug free means you’re generally healthier and able to focus on music more creating a better product. Heavy drug use however can really damage ones ability to play their instrument and create music, which sadly happens to a lot of musicians.
@@CoasterCoat well but eddie did drink and dind't suck so yeah
@@CoasterCoat source ?
@@CoasterCoat How do you know Randy was more passionate and disciplined about the music? I think their music speaks for itself. Both created great and inspiring music, and you don't create the quantity and quality of music Eddie did without passion and discipline.
Was always a Rhoads fan. His rhythm guitar was more structured, where Eddie's was more freeflow bluesy. Both Great players.But the first lead break in "Mr. Crowley" always gets me misty eyed.
👍😉🤘
So true
No one ever mentions Diary of a madman or tonight by ozzy randy rhodes plays like a god
Eddie Van Halen had way better intros and more iconic melodies in better more simpler patterns - for example that opening pattern in the intro to Aint Talking About Love is out of this world. Van Helen had a lot of cool little patterns/sequences like that. Only thing Rhodes ever did that compares is the Crazy Train intro guitar. Randy Rhodes had better heavy metal riffs/chords. That's about it. Van Helen made way better complete songs that were actually good from start to end (and not just "cool complicated riffs" like all Rhodes was known for) Van Helen put things together way better. Van Helen did Michael Jackson's Beat it. Enough said. Here is how I would boil it down. Rhodes was technically a more "talented guitar player." But simple is better. Simple sounds better. Van Halen was the far superior song maker and melody maker who was far more influential than Rhodes could have ever hoped to be. In all honesty, the majority of Rhodes songs sucked. His only truly great song was Crazy Train and even than Crazy Train only has an iconic intro. Where as Van Helen actually put out numerous iconic classic SONGS. It's like saying the more talented classical piano player is a better producer than Dr dre. Yeah no
Eddie's music can pump me up.. But yeah, Randy's brings me to tears.. I always tell Eddie fans beats Mr Crowley? Nothing
I started playing guitar because of Randy Rhoads.
I learned 2 hand tapping bc of Eddie Van Halen.
I still play my Rhoads Jackson Offset V through my 1992 Peavey EVH 5150 tube amplifier.
And the winner is....ME bc these 2 men changed my life forever. RIP EVH & RR 💔
👍😉🤘
this has to be top comment. i play my jackson RR into a peavey 6505, which essentially is a 5150.
@@TheWolvesCurse Total RESPECT to you my friend & fellow guitar player carrying the torch for both of these men each day you plug your RR Jackson through your EVH Peavey.
Keep shredding my friend! 🎸🔥❤️
I can't play any of Randy's Jacksons because I'm a lefty😔 oh how I would love to play mr crowley on his signature flying v

Eddie joins him in heaven now! 🤘🏻😔
Fun fact: Quiet Riot and Van Halen had a friendly rivalry back then
*So it really was Randy vs Eddie*
And then came along His Majesty Mr John Petrucci who blew them both the f*ck outta the water!
@@addictofoxygen Nope he ain’t close to Randy or Eddie.
@@addictofoxygen no way dude.
@@addictofoxygen John Petrucci is amazing, but he didn't had an impact as big as those two
eddie clearly won, because randy still wasn't as good with quiet riot as he would later become with ozzy osbourne.
by that time randy had already studied eddie's style and started to do his own thing.
that was actually a smart thing to do because eddie was light years ahead and really couldn't be touched.
even if you managed to play his stuff, you'd just be a clone.
randy rhoads was a van halen fan, but he soon realised that you simply can't compete with eddie because by the time you copied him he was already steps ahead of you.
ruclips.net/video/NvBsPN75i4Y/видео.html
Both are so fantastic. I give my nod to Randy, though. He just put together magic. Pure sonic perfection.
no shame there.....he was an all time great player
RIP Randy Rhoads RIP Eddie Van Halen... both will forever be missed
R.I.P Randy Rhoads
Mr Crowley came on my 2 year old started headbanging proud moment
🤘😉🤘
My 2 yr old loves music and gives the hi five likes dancing to any kind of music
With the epic lack of punctuation in this sentence, the FBI would like to know Mr. Crowley's location.
@@chasegreen1145 lmao
R. I. P. Randy Roads!! Your melodies are forever in my heart!!
👍😉🤘
Two great masters, no doubt. But it's just amazing to think that even though Randy has been long gone His Riffs and Solos are still IN and could even compete with any modern day guitar player.
👍😉🤘
100% true. Like Mozart and Beethoven, I find Randy’s music ages like fine wine. Eddie... no so much
@@johnhill762 shows what little you know lol - EVH will forever be a god
Randy Rhoads all day every day! His playing is what inspired me to pick up a guitar in the first place R.I.P Randy
Angel Alvarez Opposite for me
Angel Alvarez Same here bro. He is my number one forever
Randy was intimidated by Eddie. He knew he wasn't up to speed when it came to being the same league as Eddie. And I have to say, the song choices this guy picked for Eddie were weak.
Thomas Whitmore I don’t think he was intimidated at all, they had different playing styles. Eddie has some flashy techniques but as far as composition goes they weren’t in the same league, Randy’s work on Blizzard and Diary was better. Well to me anyways.
@@gonedeep43 You think Randy was intimidated by another musician, a guitar player at that. Huh, Never looked at it that way??
Both are legends but Randy Rhoads is my favorite guitarist
Needed George lynch in this two
@@gamexsimmonds3581 Yep,IMO it was Randy
@@rosskrause3926 When it comes to Randy I like Flying High, the fast licks and tapping in that are similar to the Tooth and Nail from Dokken which comes out a little later. Eddie, Randy, and George were so alike yet so unique. It would be crazy to see them jam together back in the day
@@gamexsimmonds3581 Yep that would be awesome..I saw all 3 in Dallas ..Randy on Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a madman...then Eddie 3-5 times and of course George with Dokken..then Lynch Mob in a small club in Dallas...they are basically why I started playing in 85..
@@rosskrause3926 Wow, very lucky. I take it for the most part they were good shows?
Randy's solo at the end of Suicide Solution live from the Randy Rhoads tribute album is in my opinion, more impressive than Eruption. That being said, they were both masters of their craft taken too soon.
That’s a fine opinion to think we all hear things differently and like different things but eruption was so impressive because there was nothing like that at all when that came out. The techniques used in it where not common or even invented by Eddie. Also just that raw loud style. That’s the song that changed everything forever. Every rocker talks about the first time they heard that. Also just a plus that was literally sections of eddies warm up and he developed the melody’s over time of doing them over and over. Before his first record I might add. He never even planned to record it or play it live. That to me is the coolest part. He didn’t try to write it and he wasn’t improvising live because this was all new shit. Innovation. He played with these new techniques he discovered or created until he started hearing it in his head and writing music with them. So natural. Eruptions origins might be the only reason Eddie could solo like he could so early. That to me is why eruption is so impressive. It’s lost some of it’s hype over the years since it came out but it’s history and impact are just on another level
Listen to Diary of a madman or Tonight randy rhodes is better
Tristan you're God damn right!
eruption is just tapping tbh it should be this much praised
Eruption, first and foremost, is tone no one else could touch.
Both of them are in heaven now jamming very very good solos!!! RIP Mr. Rhoads RIP Mr. Van Halen
🤘😉🤘
They're jamming with cliff and lemmy
I prefer Randy Rhoades although Eddie Van Halen is still amazing
The solo from Mr. Crowley is one of the greatest moments in the history of modern music, but EVH's style is so elegant an unique I have to go with him, he's the king.
💯✅
Nope listen to quiet riot laughing gas the best solo ever....here's the video..ruclips.net/video/oT7wZQd5qU0/видео.html
Facts Bruh!
I think you need to look up the definition of elegant. EVH is great, but his work is anything but elegant.
Fo-sho my friend. King of the 6 string hands down!🎸‼
I just wish Randy wouldn't have passed so young. So much music we never got to hear! Eddie is amazing but Randy will always be THE MAN!
RIP Randy and Eddie. Two of the greatest guitar players ever.
👍😉🤘
Randy's guitar tone/sound got me into playing metal in the first place...
🤘😉🤘
His tone and dimes tones were just damn near uncoppiable. They were so unique and different I loved Early EVH before van haggar and switching to peavey amps
Erik Leirmo Since RR was hero of him... so yeah tho, his tone is magical especially Randy.. to this day he still amazes me
Man, Joe Satriani's really let himself go.
Joe Satriani had a baby with Dave Draiman
Freaking spit my drink out lol
You sir are a god damn funny guy!
Hilarious!
LMAO!
Randy Is iconic and it’s sad that he was taken away so abruptly. But Eddie is truly something unbelievable. One of if not the greatest guitar player ever.
R.I.P Eddie.
R.I.P Randy.
👍😉🤘
R.I.P Eddie Van Halen, you will always be remember
I don't know who won, but 'Mean Street' is one of a kind, Cheers.
👍😉🤘
Cheersl
Most new metal songs are rips offs of mean streets lol
Both amazing! People that say Eddie is all about tapping are clueless! Eddie wrote some amazing riffs and his rythm playing is among the best ever!
I always say Randy was a college professor and Eddie was a mad scientist. Randy was awesome,but Eddie's unorthodox style of playing is so hard to recreate!
Ed sucked and was a drunk
@@jaylynn3346 millions of people influenced by him(including Randy)would disagree with you.
@@chriskrueger8225 They can't play either. They suck
@@jaylynn3346 do you have any videos of you playing?
Yeah, RR was great for his live solos and metal tone but Eddie made great sounds on albums and famous fast solos in only 15/30 seconds.. jump, beat it and more..
Randy took 5 minutes to complete a solo..
Going year by year (I'm including the QR albums in my thoughts on this), I feel like Randy was improving at a faster rate than Eddie was. Eddie is pretty consistent from VH1 to Fair warning. Going from QR1 to Diary, Randy evolves a ton. I love both players a lot though.
Oh, heck. From QR2 to Blizzard was a huge step. With QR, his playing was pretty straightforward rock. With Blizzard, it was like...wow.
First time I heard a track from that album, I went out and got it, then the EP, then Diary.
Loved Randy's playing.
That’s fair and could be true in some aspects but I feel like a big part of that is once Eddie came out Randy was influenced by him. Then when he met up with Ozzy he had so much more to play with technical wise in his writing. Not trying to discredit Randy in anyway I respect his art but Randy was not any where close to Eddie during quit riot. Eddie change guitar forever and the music lover Randy was he wanted to learn it and understand it. Anyone would. Not trying to hate in anyway but from old interviews of Randy back in the day he talks about seeing Eddie and how blown anyway he was. Tried to ask him how he did some things. And then He didn’t like that he had to start using some of his fills or tricks or flash as Randy called it to get attention. He defiantly came into his own and stopped but that’s where I get my source from. He adapted a lot from Eddie into his own as so many did. Eddie dropped the nuke with Van Halen one. After that you can’t really re nuke the music world playing the same style. But he dropped heavy bombs until balance. Consistent is the right word tho cause he continued writing insane music and innovating with beautiful guitar work his whole life. Both are great tho!
My favorite guitarist, Randy Rhoads - the guitar wizard virtuoso who seamlessly incorporated classical modes with metal heaviness. To me, Randy was more structured, compositionally sophisticated, and melodic than Eddie. His solos are masterfully written, whereas EVH’s are more free-flowing. Eddie had nice rhythm, technique, and tone (which mostly held him up). But Randy was far more creative, played with feel at times, and mixed things up (weaving between melodic and shred on a dime). Eddie was an experience to hear for the first time; but literally almost everyone says Randy was “jaw-dropping”. He did things that were so lateral and unexpected that they almost put you in a state of disbelief. And years later, way after his young death, that creativity can still impress you - listen after listen.
Randy inspired me 1,000,000% to play guitar. Eddie merely impressed me with his tone and chaotic guitar playing. And while Eddie set “the sound” for early shred, I think Randy developed it for the future. Many young people still find Randy to be inspirational and inspiring. “Crazy Train” is played everywhere still - basketball games, political protests in the streets, etc.
Overall, I think Randy’s legacy will continue to grow, as people are still as impressed and blown away by his creativity and sound now as they were then. EVH, unfortunately, seems to be going the route of the forgotten. Imo, Rhoads will be immortalized with Hendrix in a few decades - a pillar of guitar with an absolutely cemented status in rock and metal history.
And I am glad he’s being inducted into “The Hall” soon. He deserves it 1,000%. (And like Tom Morello said, Randy is basically the Robert Johnson of metal - a guy with a small catalogue who has been ridiculously influential.)
👍😉🤘
Tom Morello was so enamored with RR that he named his first born son after him.
EVH forgotten??😂😂😂
@John Hill - Best description of Randy & EVH's playing I've ever read, plus 100% correct!!! Thank you for such an exceptionally accurate & well written comment!
All the best
You are completely out of your mind if you think that
Interesting comparison. I remember reading an article many years ago where Ozzy talked about leaving Sabbath in part because Van Halen had opened for them and he felt like they were getting blown off the stage every night by the young energetic band.
Having seen that tour, I witnessed that, first-hand. Yes, they blew them off the stage when I saw them in 78.
But, I went there, expecting them to do that, so it wasn't a surprise at all.
Sabbath over halen all day I don’t care who blew who.
VH>Sabbath
EVH didn't wanna play with RR! There's a story where RR went to EVH but ignored intentionally by EVH.
Eruption is no.doubt a game.changer and yes, EVH was a genius.
But as a whole, like looking at their album and their guiter solo and rhythm...
Randy was bigger than Eddy. RR idolized Eddy, but what did EVH do to RR?
He treated him like a joke.and that's his big.mistake.
He got fired he didn't leave lol
Edward Van Halen was a game changer, and is a musical genius! Randy left us way too early!!!
Both were and are genius. RR is more melodic and classic, EVH is more innovator. So sad they are no longer with us.

Randy was the real innovator. He created neoclassical guitar playing and an entire subgenre of metal devoted to it. Honestly, Eddie's style flamed out towards the end of the 80's. Randy's style is still going.
@@WhiteDevil-du8ne correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Ritchie Blackmore innovate neoclassical guitar playing ?
@@WhiteDevil-du8ne neoclassical? Created? Prog Rock bands were already doing the neoclassical thing before Randy.
@@WhiteDevil-du8ne WTF are you talking about? In 1978 Malmsteen was 15 and already was miles ahead. RR was solid guitar player but nothing more.
I love going back and watching your older stuff.
👍😜🤘
Very-very nice! The winner is the Rock'n'roll !!!
👍😉🤘
Eddie changed the game but Randy is my main influence. Nobody writes or sounds like Randy. The classical influence with the chord choices for his rhythms is just mind blowing. Still love Eddie. Both are phenomenal in there own right.
👍😉🤘
“classical”? Eruption is a “cover” of a famous 19 century violin virtuoso’s, Fritz Kreisler, pieces.
Miguel these are all so awesome, thanks for the hard work and practice time it took to make these videos. Keep them coming.
ROCK ON
Thank you very much for your words my friend!
Rock on...🤘😉🤘
I’ve stirred more on the randy side. The epic orchestration and sweeping gothic solos are like a Tolkien novel. They take you deep into the depths where you fight balrogs, die, and are born again. But cannot deny EVH had that vibe. Like a hunter S thompson novel. That damn vibe. Unmatched. Love them both.
👍😉🤘
Miguel Sequeira i just realized you created this video a year ago. You are some kind of sacerdote.
Hahaha... 🤣🤣🤣
Regards from Portugal! 👍😉🤘
I love them both but Eddie is the best live guitarist I ever heard.
You should give Malmsteen ,Buckethead or Dimebag a listen, Eddie's amazing but theres better out there. Stevie Ray is tops by far
then it means that you are not hearing a lot of guitarists hahaha
Find one video of dimebag messing up ...doesn't exist
@@mrwho2118 I disagree, while you're right about dimebag and others. There is just simply no one better than eddie 🤘. I mean the man single handedly made the hardest known song/solo in music history. ERUPTION
@@gavinmorgan8691 eruption is as epic as it gets, the problem with Eddie is he hasn't done anything in a long time that entitles him to be in the greatest ever conversation,,way to many other excellent players have risen since he tapered off. I've got nothing but respect for the guy though
We can compare them all we want. But everyone knows that if they were paired together, no other guitar duo would ever match what they would create
🤘🔥🤘
Randy Rhoads forever
Rest in Rock & Roll Paradise
Wow! 2 of my favorite virtuosos, and so well represented! Amazing job, Miguel!
Thank you very much my friend!
Rock on...🤘😉🤘
Completely different players. Both are great.
🤘😉🤘
I wouldn't say completely different. Both are classically trained and have great potential.
I love them both, and many more. Great video man!
Thanks a lot man!
Regards from Portugal!
That’s it you have inspired me to relearn Mr Crowley after many years of forgetting how to play it . good job
Revelation ( Mother Earth) should have totally been on the list....
Randy all the way.
Randy's guitar in Revelation is some of his best.. you can hear his classical guitar so much in his playing in that song..it is beautiful.
Too hard, lol 🤘😜
I think Randy's clean playing far outstrips Eddies.
Dee...Goodbye to Romance...that's some lovely clean guitar playing.
I might give the riffage to Eddie, but Randy was a better lead guitarist. Not that Eddie was a slouch, but Randy's lead work actually made more sense, from a theoretical POV. On the flip side, Randy's riffs are pretty awesome too.
EVH, he was genius with new technique and sound. people can imitate but cannot compose using his tapping style. untouchable.
great video! loved the riffs and solos you put in especially with the skill as well
Thanks a lot!
Rock on...🤘😉🤘
I don't know how I am just seeing this! WOW! BALLSY brother!!! And you pulled it off! You're a monster!
Man that was amazing and transported me right back to my teenage years in the early 80s. Hats (or caps!) off to you. Thank you for posting.
Thank you very much my friend!
Regards from Portugal! 👍😉
Eddie hands down don’t compare anyone to him. It’s disrespectful.
I agree with you!
Regards from Portugal! 🤘😉🤘
I love Randy, he was a great guitarist. But... Randy was classically trained, and there was a consensus among the band that Randy (including Ozzy, and Sharron) planned on playing for a couple more years. King Edward on the other hand; has never ha a guitar lesson and does not read music. EVH learned to play by listening to Clapton during the Cream years. Eddie changed EVERYTHING about Rock Guitar. The 1978 debut album also saved Rock music from Disco and Punk. Edward invented ways to get the sounds out off his head. He couldn’t afford a peddle board, so he perfected a way to get those sounds with just the guitar and his hands. Again, gotta love Randy... RIP.
@@MacPro8CoreMan before randy was 10, he was able to outplay is instructor.
@@miguelsequeiraguitar Needed George lynch in this too
Disagree. Randy Rhoads was far better from a melodic and technical standpoint. No contest.
This was awesome, 2 of my favourite guitar players of all time, there is no winner here, great job man, that was fun to watch.
Thanks a lot man!
Greetings from Portugal!
EVH
As amazing as Randy was, I wish we could have seen him stay and write more brilliant songs...
Edward Van Halen wasn't just a player, he was a force of nature. It could be argued that without him, a whole generation of our favorite musicians may have ceased to exist.
Beyond the point, I'm certain they adored each other's playing.
Eddies solos are so sweet. Randy sounds amazing but Eddies are so tasty. He fills things just with the right amount of noted
Eddie changed music forever! He started a "movement" that saved hard rock in the late 70's! Love Randy, but Eddie was a game changer! There are plenty of guitar virtuoso's like Yngwie etc, but Eddie took it to the next level!
Agreed, however his tapping (that he was well known for) was invented decades before - he just expanded on it.
I hate to dis agree cause they both are Great in there own way. Randy had his life cut short and he made classics only having a handful of albums to make music on. Who knows what kind of music he be making til he was 65 like Eddie was if I'm not mistaken
Tapping doesn't change anything
@@heavydirtysoul1328 expand
@@michaelsuder486 his tapping didn't have any melody it was like a baby playing guitar it was overused to be exact
I just stumbled into your channel and subscribed. You're a badass player to match those two legends as well as you did. I going to watch your other versus battles next, and feel old knowing these songs went from new to classics.......
Thanks a lot man!

This is like comparing Cliff Burton with Steve Harris
This comment's pretty underrated
Or anyone Vs Geddy Lee
Never, Steve Harris is a God walking among mortals....
@@gerardosanchez1813 yeah but Ciff was better. The problem was that he died to you g but he will had lived more....
Well put!
Last I heard, Eddie could sure use our thoughts, prayers, and/or positive energy. He is pretty under the weather these days.
@@jasondankenbring1710 well, he has suffered from mouth cancer and throat cancer for a while. He has been traveling to Germany for some treatment that is not available in the US.
I saw a somewhat recent pic of him that really made me sad. In the picture, he is kneeling by a motorcycle. He looks drained of, well, everything.
I wish him all the best
Rip🙏
Well, under the dirt now...
Van Halen's musicality and compositional skills were head and shoulders above his guitar playing peers...still are. It's an underestimated part of his legacy.
Weird cause I thank Randy's solos are more melodic.
I think Eddie is Brilliant but Randy was musical deeper and more melodic. Diary of a madman is a musical masterpiece, but Eddie was brilliant and a guitar innovator for sure
This crossed my mind. I found in have had hearing them both, their styles were believably heart felt of each player.😊
👍😉🤘
Nothing I’ve heard from Eddie has ever made chills go down my spine. Every time I hear the first solo from Mr. Crowley it feels like my spine is freezing and I’m being exposed to something too good for humans to be blessed to hear. RIP Randy
Truth
One of my favorite guitar solos of all time. So much feel, emotion and heart in that solo that tugs at you immensely. And a solo that could literally carry on forever......
I think mr.crowley solo is one of the best I’ve ever heard
When people ask what phrasing means in terms of a guitar solo they should listen to this! It is phrasing at its perfection.
I couldn't agree more
I would have to go with Eddie, for the shear fact people could not figure out some parts.he was playing was in fact a guitar. The tones were just crazy it's hard to explain unless you were there in the beginning.
Spiritualistic Randy is just average tier compared with other guitarists of the era. EVH is the guitar God of the 20th century. Randy was just part of the game, but Eddie reinvented the entire thing. In fact, in an interview, he even admits to copying some of Eddie’s techniques.
Spiritualistic as I said in another comment, Eruption was nothing more than a warm up lick that a producer happened to hear, and wanted Eddie to record. That mere warm up lick that wasn’t even written on purpose became far more famous than anything Randy Rhoades ever wrote.
JT 5150 average tier? That’s not how I remember it his guitar playing influenced an entire generation of metal musicians...blizzard of Ozz and diary of a madman were life changing albums. Eddie was awesome too but it’s a different genre...didn’t hit me the same as Randy.
Spiritualistic lmao when you try to claim you owned someone yourself 😂
Van Halen I album sales (Eruption): 10,000,000 as of 1996. Billboard peak: #19
Blizzard of Ozz album sales (Crazy Train): 6,000,000 as of 2019. Billboard peak: #21
OWNED. Good try.
Spiritualistic hard rock, “radio friendly”, even 50s 60s rock, rock n roll, is vastly more popular than metal, and mainstream pop is vastly more popular than anyone of those for that matter...this was never about genre...so, not sure where you were headed with that; regardless, the album including Eruption sold almost twice as many copies in roughly the same amount of time as the album containing Crazy Train, since I had to spell that out for you...one thing that is for sure is, you’ve tried to turn this into a 6th grade name-calling battle because your logic failed you and there’s no direction for you to backtrack.
However, the only place you need to turn is around and drag away what’s left of your dignity. Maybe even delete your comments before someone reads them lol
Beautiful. Efn love it!!!! Would of loved to see both do this irl. But you did justice.
Thanks a lot my friend!
Regards from Portugal!
Damn, you kill it. Great work.
Thank you very much man!
Rock on... \m/ \m/
If you are still comparing Eddie to Randy, after Randy has been gone for more than 30 years. That tells you how unbelievably great Randy was. Randy made that good of a name for himself with only two albums. Eddie had decades. Randy Rhoads was THE best.
Eddie made a name for himself after the first album! Zakk Wylde the guy that was paid to play Randy Rhoads songs every night said Eddie could have just released Eruption and been a legend. Zakk has Eddie as his #1. I have to agree with Zakk.
Perfectly said! Randy has 2 albuns to go off, I would like to compare Eruption to the Live Solo Randy plays half way through Suicide Solution on the Tribute album. Again, thus is opinion and everyone deserves there own, but your right if 30years after we lost this incredibly talented young man we are still debating him vs. Eddie...than I wouldn't want to be EVH How do you compete with a Dead Legend? How cone we don't see EVH vs. Malmstein or Satriani or Skolnick or even Zakk (BTW it is well known that Zakk Wylde Honors Randy WAY more than Eddie, Zakk plays 2 different Polka Dot V's from Sandoval, I don't see him playing any of Eddies guitars...hm)
Randy by a landslide
Don’t forget Eddie hasn’t done anything new in decades either. It’s a shame
@@mikeserrone5117 I think it's because RR and EVH were California rivals. I had heard that they bumped into each other in a record store and were holding the other's album.
Eddie give the best on 1 album, RR on 1 album too.
Decades or two years are not important.
“Randy!” - Jim Lahey. Both RIP
Majic Bajer watch out for the shithawks
You guys rock, i love how you’re playing rock riffs off each other. Keep metalling \m/
Thanks a lot!
Rock on...🤘😉🤘
R.I.P Eddie. Another legend gone.
I've been a huge fan of both as far back as I can remember. It's very difficult for me to compare Randy and Eddie. Two different style guitarists. Only if I were forced to choose, would I choose Randy Rhoads. Both inspired me more than any others to pick up a guitar back in 1985. Thank you both for sharing your gift with the world.
🤘😉🤘
I would have to go with Rhodes. He was just great at a young age.
Otie Jason did he get better? no he plays the same shit day in day out. we can’t say how randy would be obv but ya never know.
@@im_diversum You don't think Eddie got better over the years? He evolved tremendously over the years. And then he came back full circle in 2015 and went back to playing the ripping stuff from the old days flawlessly once again.
Plus....Eddie was a big influence on Randy. His old girlfriend said the first time Randy saw Eddie he was "devastated" at seeing how great Eddie was, even then.
Pacfanweb maybe it’s jus me but it all sounds the same idk
Rhoads > Eddie
@@im_diversum False. That shows you don't know his music. Compare "Pleasure Dome" or "Me Wise Magic" or "Dreams" to the songs off the first two albums. They're clearly Eddie, but they're clearly different.
Randy was the most influential guitarist for me. I imitate his playing style most. Although as for the guitar tone, I'd go for EVH.
EVH clearly wins on tone. That’s about his only superior quality. Few can top it.
Rhoads’ solos are next level genius
Eddies most underrated strength was his feel on rhythm. It gets overlooked, and it was outstanding.
👍😉🤘
two great rhythm players who both had drummers as brothers.
Exactly it’s what he did not due , that made him king. Not to mention those killer end of song melodies that sounded like the beginnings of a new song.
No rock guitar has had as much personality as Eddie Van Halen. He changed the game.
There are many of them my friend ) Van Halen just gave us personal vision of guitar playing. And it was awesome.
Woah, don’t be forgetting legends such as Taylor Swift, Nick Jonas and Lil Wayne. Head and shoulders above Eddie.
@@jenksplays2644 yeah and Lil pump Kanye east and post Malone
Tony iommi. King of riffs.
@@Abodo94 no one had as much impact as Eddie did, simple fact

Get the intro to mean street in there next time. 🤙
Randy my hero always but Eddie take your whisky home.
I knew he won't play eruption
@@jogsa2162 He played part of eruption, but it was the easiest part, the straightforward tapped triplets.
@@Dry7123 He didnt play that probably because it's a little more difficult to recreate that the way Eddie plays it. That intro is the coolest thing he ever did, in my opinion.
That was very entertaining, nice job
Thanks a lot!
Regards from Portugal!
Two of the best guitar players of all time. Awesome job.
Thank you very much my friend!
Regards from Portugal! 🤘😉🤘
Randy Rhoads!!!!! The best in all history!
Randy is one great musician and one of the best guitarists ever, EVH is a musical genius, there’s no contesta at all.
🤘😉🤘
A genius?!? Have you heard Dee? Rhoads was in another level! Before his death, he told Ozzy he was gonna stay for one more album so he can continue his study of music. He knew many more instruments than just guitar, and it was a music teacher in many other instruments, that my friend is a genius.
What do you mean
@@mikenuzzo3323 Randy was gonna leave the band and go to college, he wanted to continue expanding his knowledge about music and to teach like always did. Did you know that Randy would look for guitar instructors from every city Ozzy had a show? Always learning, but many of the instructors said that Randy would end up teaching them meaning he surpassed others. You have to digest the kind of person he was, months before he died the band separate for a bit because they were all stress out, Randy took the opportunity to get some wisdom tooth pulled out, and that's how his body was identify. There is more to Randy than just Ozzy.
@@mikenuzzo3323 search for this article, is long but a good read. Randy Rhoads: The Guitarist Who Changed The World
I am thankful that both Randy and Eddie were both alive at the same time as me. No looking to find stuff, I lived it with 'em. RIP brothers! Thanks for the tunes.
\m/ \m/
Love it. We need more of this healthy compotision
👍😜🤘
Eddie is such a legend! I love everything he's done in his life, but he cannot touch the very few years Randy has left us on this planet. Randy was THE God of all things guitar. Randy Rhoads wins hands down.
I am super glad I got see them both
Anyone who knows anything about randy will agree with you. I go randy without question.
Randy Rhoads was a technically superior composer. He's in my soul 37 years later. No musician has moved me more. Genius.
Amen
In terms of music theory maybe. In terms of innovative genius, EVH
In every youtube video, cover, live performance, you name it; you are the ONLY one who played "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" properly. Props to you man!
Thanks a lot!
Greetings from Portugal! 👍😉
Both were/are great, a lot of my" life soundtrack " 🎵
Thank you for this and all the other great video's and music 👍👍👍
Thank you very much my friend!
Regards from Portugal! 👍😉
Randy my hero ..visited his grave and music store where he taught ...loved him
I will always go with randy. His work makes you appreciate the music classes during high school and grade school that most of us ignore. 😅😅😅
Can't go wrong with either one of those iconic legends, I still jam them both loud and proud. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I should have added this in my comment, but... Great work dude. You have the chops!
Thanks a lot dude!
Rock on... \m/ \m/
I am fortunate enough to have lived in LA in 70s and 80s and have seen both guitarist many times even Randy with Quiet Riot at the Starwood. The bottom line is you can't compare top players it comes down to preference. They were and are both trailblazers in their own right. You really have to have seen both live to have gotten the full affect.
Eddie Van Halen is my favorite
The Ultimate Guitar Bettle. Both were genius. Both are guitar gods. Love them both. Thanks a lot for this awesome video!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks a lot!
Greetings from Portugal!👍😉🤘
