EVH is probably the more innovative player but I just like Angus's licks better . Only my liking that' all!

Always loved the opening riff to Back in Black. Not as easy to play as it sounds.

Angus Young

both are great. but i think i'm leaning towards angus. cuz he's pretty sweet.

I don't vote in these types of "who's best" polls, but it is interesting to peruse the results. I am shocked that Angus gets so much love here over Eddie. I figured just based on the fact that Angus is a hardcore SG player, and Eddie being a (pseudo) Strat player would be enough to sway the vote hard. I was wrong...

PS
In my book it's a tie ... they both play expressively with a lot of heart. The fact that one is more innovative and has more musicianship is -- to me -- irrelevent. But, that is why I don't vote in polls like this...

Just because his tone in that era...EVH,

Though, Back in Black's guitar sound is awesome and a classic.

Real tough call.

Musically, they each have there own unique voice.

Draw

Has to be Angus Young.

Riffmeister extraordinaire !!!!

While both are very tight and clean with their chops, Eddie Van Halen is better by a landslide. He has way more technique under his belt, and plays outside of the blues-box a lot (Angus pretty much stays there). Angus is great and I love to hear him play, but Eddie is twice the guitarist IMO.

2 different styles and sounds... 2 excellent musicians.

I am not even qualified to have an opinion on which one of these two great artists is better. Now ask me which one I prefer, that's a different story. I prefer Angus. Eddie is a tremendously innovative player, but of the 6 times I have seen him, every body is standing there with their mouth open while they watch in awe. When you see Angus, you are "moved." You can't stop headbanging. But like someone else mentioned, I'm not sure all of the credit for AC/DC's drving sound. Malcom's rhythm is the glue that holds it all together.

well.
i love acdc, but i do think evh is a much better guitar player.
i do have that "YEAH" effect when i hear both either back in black, or jump

it depends on what style of music you like best. personally i would choose angus young, who else can play guitar without strumming or using a pick?
