1st of all I am an old guy, OK got that out the way here it comes . . . I have never been impressed with shredding and loads of distortion so Mr. Van Halen was never a must see/hear for me. Keeping in mind I respect his command of his style, just not a fan.

In my day (wow did I say that?) the players who played on and around a melody with just the great tone of their ax and amp were my must see/hears.

Now get off of Rharv's lawn before I call the cops!

Later,
