haha yeah i thought that was weird
also because, i mean, outside of some stuff like eruption...eddie usually solos within the normal confines of a pop song, like i dunno 16 bars or something, not like van halen is this really bloated prog band

if i had to pick two "mainstream" rock guitarists who were pretty much the opposite of one another it'd be neil and eddie van halen.

was the telegraph reviewer a certain infamous telegraph music critic? ahem.
i mean hey if long guitar solos are not your thing, OK. but complaining about them at a neil young concert (much less a neil young & crazy horse concert) is clueless. the guy plays long guitar solos.
