There is no better. only favorites. That being said, EVH's music certainly connected with a lot more people than yingvae did.

yngwee can only play sweeps, thats all he does, one trick pony, all his solos sound like

doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily ooodily doodily

he's the Ned Flanders of metal guitar.

he was briefly famous in the early 80s when it was new to play sweeps and in his head he still thinks he's good when literally anyone can play sweeps like that

Well yeah cause it's radio slop

>if a lot of people like it has to be bad
imagine being this retarded.

Inggay doesnt think EVH was "slop" why would you?

>>127156314 (OP)
Technically as a lead player yeah, but EVH was a much better songwriter. This is coming from some who loves Yngwie's output from the Alcatrazz debut until Facing the Animal.

Though I wish neither of them inflicted their lead vocals on us.

Kys yngwie makes more exciting songs than that boring faggot

>>127156314 (OP)
Generation Axe was a boyband but with guitars.

Yngwie is S tier but I'll take EVH
EVH's playing was dangerous and spontaneous and he didn't appear to try
all the other speedy players from that era were practiced, gay nerds (Randy Rhoads etc)
EVH is still at the core rock and roll

Overly complex music is boring and narcissistic.
If hitting notes fast is the basis of good everyone would consider that YouTube tranny the greatest. But his music is boring too.
Billy Gibbons, Angus Young and Keith Richards are all infinitely better musicians than Malm-berg.

>>127163180

>>127163611
Just being honest, Van Halen's overrated, Rising Force is far more blood pumping than Eruption, also Yngwie had better vocalists

Plebs, the lot of you

Even the polyphia tranny writes better melodies than malmsteen

>>127158976
Because you have an entry level knowledge of rock. It's not something to be proud of.

>>127156314 (OP)
Malmsteen has a potential banger on almost every other album but his problem is he doesn't even use a band anymore. He programs the drums and plays every instrument himself, now he's decided to even sing. It all sucks so much

>>127156314 (OP)
this is a controversial opinion only if you're a pleb or a retard. even when its poppy bullshit, yngwie makes it good. van halen is all radio-slop, and they're not even good at it. this is ignoring the fact that yngwie is a far better player than evh and had far better singers in rising force than either roth or hagar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPjqd8ThDMQ

Yngwie deserves respect just for the influence he had imo, Symphony X and Galneryus obviously owe him a lot, probably even Angra, to a lesser extent
Then again, his own stuff sometimes is so good it's not a necessity to consider his influence to realize he's great

I like Buckethead more even if he's a one trick pony

Indeed. Shall we apply a similar metric to Edward?

>>127156314 (OP)
Guitar wankery is so god damn boring. A good simple melody is better than the best shredders.

Do none of you know about Satriani? Like what he did? He's possibly the most important musician to ever live. Literally. Did you not know about this or do you just completely disagree. Who else even came close to doing that? Its fucking insane. And his son is a filmmaker. I think there's an Oscar winning documentary just waiting to be made. It literally writes itself. Meaning in this context I guess you'll fill up about 2 hours in just 2 minutes of thinking about it.

>>127160983
>yngwee can only play sweeps

>>127181326
Your opinions are gay and cliché.

>>127181326
Thats the beauty of EVH. Outside of one famous solo (eruption) there is very little wankery. All his solos are short, concise and drive the song forward. Its just good songs sprinkled with virtuosity on top

Why do people think Yngwie is just a guitar wanker? Every album up until the late 90 are cram-full of great melodies and riffs.

Listen to the music before trying to criticize it, unless you want to look like a fucking buffoon.

Kek this one track btfo all of Van Gaylen's discography

>>127181156
Didn't I say BESIDES FAIR WARNING?

>>127181284
Yeah I have. Running with the Devil is an awesome rock song and he spoils it by playing a little lead part instead of a full-on solo. Fair Warning is decent, the rest is pop with a shredder guitarist.

>>127181822

EVH knew how to make music that people wanted to listen to. Nothing wrong with that.

If this is pop then these are the heaviest pop songs ever lol

If you cant appreciate the music of EVH then you really dont like hard rock or rock music at all...

>>127182056
You have an underdeveloped ear for melodies. You would never get hired as an A&R.

>>127182066
no. just have good taste.

>>127182174
Van Halen is common denominator music, your taste is equivalent to the most retarded of normalfags, you might as well say you enjoy rap too.

>>127182169
You underveloped intellect that precludes you from making intelligent statements or having an opinion worth noting.

>>127182190
>if you like something other people do your an auto-pleb
imagine being this retarded...oh wait, thats right....you dont have to LMAO

>>127182207
You stated that you had good taste, there's nothing refined about enjoying Van Halen, everyone's listened to Jump & Panama a million times for example; it's music for retards.

>>127182107
I do though. What you are saying is an arbitrary criterion. I don't mind a party tune, but nobody's partying with Van Halen anymore.

>>127182222

Judgement Day

>>127182275
Idc what Yngwie thinks, I know that he's a better player.

>>127182291
>better
thats entirely subjective. he plays faster for sure but does that mean "better"? no. Just being a good guitar player doesnt mean you make good music.

>>127182107
And by the way, I like Unchained, Mean Streets, Running with the Devil, Panama, Beautiful Girls, I'm the One, and I do appreciate how tight as a band they were, but they were not THAT band. You or some other anon mentioned that his solos were tasteful and potent, well so were Iommi's and he had the riffs to boot. Van Halen were along the lines of Zeppelin or Queen, they could be heavy but not for heaviness' sake and when they had to chose between heaviness and radiofriendliness they would opt for the latter.

>>127182390
>they were not THAT band
I trust you are not insinuating that Malmsteen is? lol

>THAT band
Not sure what you mean by THAT band but they were Van Halen. A great hard rock group with pop sensibilities. The harmonies, the catchy tunes etc....but that doesnt diminish EVH's credibility or legacy- in fact it adds to it. The fact that he could be a virtuouso and yet still make music that people wanted to hear was brilliant. His Tone, His rhythm, his ability to craft a solo muchless a song all better than YM imo. this guy said it best
>Its just good songs sprinkled with virtuosity on top

you like heavy? one of their heaviest songs is on their last album lol

you would know lol

>>127182990
Doesn't have the hit potential Rising Force has. I would never have released How Many Miles to Babylon as a single. It's also kind of a rehash of I Am a Viking.
