I didn't know that part would be included in the video- so as soon as Dweezil (👏🏻) mentioned Greensboro '81 - I went over to a recording of that show to hear what he was referencing. <br>Its in his solo which is directly, after mean street.... <br>But again, I went the lonnnng wayyyyy around... If I would've just sat tight... 😂<br><br>That is definitely a great mention and lick that I don't think he HAS ever done since... <br>when playing that part of his guitar solo!<br>Great catch and nod-<br><br>👏🏻😕 <br>Miss him.

Edward was one in a trillion and we will never hear anyone like him again.

EVH is the only celebrity death that has ever moved me. Never met the guy, grew up on his music and that day I cried like a baby. I still miss him like I’d miss a member of my own family. It’s crazy but his art meant so much to me and still does. It was a f*cking fantastic time to be alive.

“One foot out the door” solo is still beyond comprehension. Kicks total ass.

His solo on Push Comes to Shove is his peak of improvisation.

Not shocking coming from the greatest guitarist to ever strap up and plug in.

The intro to meanstreet got my attention. But in my humble opinion, the opening riff of the song itself…..THAT has to be one of the nastiest riffs in the history of rock guitar. I never tire of listening to it and it hits me every time. Ed, Alex and Mike were just killing it on that track. The groove was insane.

Ed perfected the expansion of mean Street on live without a net.

His peak was VH 1 to 1984. 6 years of non stop, absolute astonishment.
