I don't own any VH albums, nor did I every buy one. I couldn't stand Roth and just can't stand the lyrics. But I always like Eddie, he seemed like just the nicest dude and his virtuosity is unquestionable. I think Les Paul was a fan even etc...He just makes guitar playing look like a freakin blast!I saw Van Halen with Sammy Hagar at MSG in the '80s and during Eruption someone jumped on stage and ran up to Eddie. I assume he yelled something to Eddie because as the security guys came running up to wreck the guy Eddie put a hand up to stop them. He then waved the guy over to him and *let him play the taping part of the solo* while Eddie just stood there with the guitar hanging around his neck.
When he was done Eddie kind of nodded as if to say, "Nice" and the guy jumped up and down with his fists in the air while security corralled him off the stage (bouncing the entire time) as the whole place went wild.
