“Eruption”>”You Really Got Me” off their first album is absolute genius.
I really think EVH is second only to Hendrix when it comes to the innovative ways he made an electric guitar sound.Now, I don't think he was as musical as a Clapton or Page, but I don't think that was ever really his goal.
That's ridiculous.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. He can play music and come up with riffs really well. But he can't write sheet or lyrics. I don't mean to take away from his accomplishments, because he is one of the GOAT guitar players... Probably the best of his generation.
Some guys named Lennon and McCartney couldn't read/write music, but they had some good riffs also. https://globalnews.ca/news/4503916/paul-mccartney-cant-read-music/
Who said Eddie couldn't read or write music? His father was an accomplished musician in his own right,so my guess is that he had some music education.
