>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
