Listening to EVH's "Eruption" convinces me that his technical skills were something on the brink of magic.

I can't say that about Angus, but his beef is quite good. :shock: :? :P

Angus for sure. That guy has more charisma than any guitar player Ive seen/heard. I saw AC/DC in concert, and the crowd were chanting "ANGUS!! ANGUS!!! ANGUS!!!" You wouldnt get that at a Van Halen concert, or any other band. Actually, down my ways Van Halen wouldnt even sell a show. If anyone has seen Angus play, he is like a "wind 'em up and let him rip, mate" type of guy. Guaranteed to make your grandma want to learn the guitar.

If you really want to see why Angus gets more cred, check this out. This song clearly explains in the lyrics why his style gets more cred than EVH and why AC/DC has survived so long...

This sounds more like US vs Australia. Of course they would get a better audiance in their own countries.

EVH is more fluid while Angus plays more rythem power chords which would appeal more to the blues fan.

You can't really compare them.

This is another topic that going to get into name calling and people getting hurt.

Tough call. funny that Eddie is taking heat here for his flash, since Malcolm holds down the solid duties in ACDC and Angus provides the flash there too.

big fan of both. really they're both pretty locked into their own styles, they don't much deviate.

so i guess in this contest I will have to pick Malcolm since to me he is the heart and soul of the ACDC sound, and a rock solid rhythm player. (like how I sidestepped the actual debate?) :wink:

I think Young came up with catchier riffs, but I believe EVH is the better guitarist.

Angus Young. Van Halen was just two-handed tapping, and his solos all sound the same. I don't like AC/DC or Van Halen, but my vote goes to Angus Young.

I think OP is refering to this interview... 1:45 onwards

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MywssXz4GIg




So to compare:

Vs.

...I would expect no less from a fellow Australian.
