[QUOTE="tcudoc, post: 2915255, member: 44"] Name a band or a musician who is more influential than EVH. There may be a few equals, but the list is very short. The Beatles changed music in a huge way. So did Elvis. The British Invasion with bands like The Stones, the Who, and the Beatles were huge. Jimi Hendrix changed the way the guitar was viewed as an instrument. EVH came along and built upon what others had started but revolutionized the instrument and influenced all other rock guitarists who would follow in the next 3-4 decades. To minimize his impact on music as we know it today is to admit a lack of basic understanding of rock and roll music for the past 40 years. I do not think it is hyperbole to state that he has has been the single biggest influencer of rock guitarists in the past 4 decades. Those who did not lift ideas from him or imitate him most certainly respected his innovation and abilities. [/QUOTE]
