Aerosmith VS Van Halen

I think he means that Eddie was the first "Shredder" type, which is redundant.

I suppose. ?

Still one of the best guitar players of all time. ( IMO )

Definately Van Halen. I highly prefer David Lee Roth and EVH to Aerosmith. But that is probably because I'm biased. DLR went to PCC and my mom saw them at a backyard concert way back when they were starting out ans she bumped into EVH. Sounds epic.

If I had a choice between a classic Van Halen album (ie not Van Hagar) or a classic Aerosmith album (ie nothing after Pump) I would choose the Van Halen album 9 times out of 10. However Aerosmith has had some fairly impressive longevity (disregarding the creepiness of a geriatric Steven Tyler serenading teen-age girls) and played a part in introducing rap to the mainstream. I'll call it a draw.

personally, i prefer aerosmith

Both bands have some stuff I really like and both have some stuff thats god awful, I haven't looked too deeply into either but from what I've seen neither are very consistent when it comes to me liking them. That being said of the songs I like I probably like Van Halen's more.

I can't choose between the two as I like both very much (psssst it's Van Halen, don't tell anybody )

Roth-Era Van Halen>Aerosmith>Hagar-Era Van Halen. Bigger gap between Aerosmith and Hagar than Roth and Aerosmith, though.

[gmarsh]

neither are the best band, but i would go with van halen

Aerosmith is much better than Van Halen, but both are absolutely terrible.

I agree.
