Maddergascar Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 It's quite simple really. I'm really into Van Halen and am looking for recommendations of similar bands. I'm mainly interested from a guitarists point of view; I'm looking for a band which uses finger tapping and dive bombs and all those other techniques that EVH introduced, rather than band with a more bluesy guitarist. But nothing too techical; no Steve Vai! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleTalkinJive Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Maybe try some DLR solo, they're more like classic Van Halen than VH with Hagar IMO. Steve Vai plays on a lot of songs but he doesn't play the incredibly fast solos like he does on his solo albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedthoughts Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 As did every other shitty hair band<{POST_SNAPBACK}>GNR were a borderline "shitty hair band" and Slash has admitted to being influenced by EVH...so what are you saying?I would recommend some Pantera and Ozzy with Randy Rhoads (although Zakk does a pretty good job of those solos live too).

Binge_And_Slash Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 (edited) Anyone know the album name of Glam/Hair Metal Pantera?I have Vulgar Display, Cowboys From Hell and Reinventing Hell.And those are the more screamy songs.

Maddergascar Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) I dunno. I wouldn't really consider GnR, motley crue or poison as being EVH influenced. And especially not pantera.

You seem to hate arena rock, and spend most of your time talkin about them, but you have over 3000 posts on a gnr message board. Most of the time youre just a prick imo.
