    EVH is on the Mount Rushmore of rock guitarists...but Mike Mccready is a badass guitar player who plays by feel like nobody else.

    Mike would be on the Mt Rushmore of the Alt. rock scene though. BTW...I like Mike's style better.

    More than likely and technically he is probably right if MM had been around during VH's peak years but I'd rather listen to Mike's free flowing Hendrix style any day.

    ive never been a fan of van halen's noodling. yes, its fast and very technical, but its just not for me. I like slow and melodic.

    EVH> MM in the world of guitarists.

    I'm not really sure Eddie is a God, but from 1977-1982 he may have been.

    There's a difference between being able to jerk off a guitar neck and being a great guitarist.

    The clear choice here is Mike.

    I say it's time for Mike to step up & release some customized Mike McCready line of guitars.
    What say's you? :mrgreen:

    Cready in a laugher. It's not even a fair comparison. Eddie Van Halen is out of his league if you compare him to someone with the soul of a Mike McCready.
