The Best VH album IMO Eddie sound is insane and his playing is so aggressive he takes to another level…

I don't know if it's enough to say aggressive, the guy needed to make a guitar that was durable enough for him.

I want to throw a suggestion at you speaking of guitar work being second to none. I am not saying it's comparable, but "Mike Dawes - Jump" is one of the coolest Van Halen covers I've ever seen. He does the whole thing on fingerstyle guitar and makes that song into a pretty cool piece. I think ya'll would both enjoy it.

Man, there are so many great V.H. songs. My favorites are from the D.L.R. years, maybe because that was my early teens, and V.H. was very different than anything up until then. I'm The One, On Fire, Romeo Delight, Is This Love. it goes on and on. Most every song on the first four albums is a must hear. This album was written during some dark times for Edward.

The music Halen puts out is just pure energy, joy, bluesy sort of heaven. Now that I look to the next generation to find that raw energy I have a great band for you to catch - you'll want to be ready to go workout after hearing this song. Give Unleash the Archers- Awakening Full band playthrough a go. Have the fire extinguisher ready.
