Eddie for sure.

As a guitarist,it's easy Eddie is much better. Ace is just okay. Both are better than me. Like both of their music but Kiss was just cooler.
Eddie by a million miles! I'm better than Ace and I suck.
Randy Roads is better than both of them, just unfortunately didn't live long enough to get the notoriety he deserves!!
Randy was awesome!Quote:

No other guitar player has done more with just his guitar than Ed. None.
Eddie Van Halen all the way!!!Quote:

Gene Simmons made great movements in rights for the bands. He need to be credited for that. Kissed sucked musically they just had their outfits and confrontation that they where against your parents
But for guitarist hands down, Eddie!!!
You need to get out more. There's way better players than EVH. John Petrucci, Joe Satriani, and Yngwie Malmsteen just to name 3. Ed is an innovator no doubt and just about all after him how him a debt. But just like how he perfected some of the stuff Hendrix and Frank Marino did...others have done the same or more where he left off.Quote:

I'd take Eddie's pinky...ONLY his pinky...over Ace. As for the argument above....I wouldn't agree. Yngwie idolized Eddie, but also studied classical music. He's better on a technical level, but he's almost robotic. You don't get the same energy from him as from Eddie. Petrucci and Satch, both stellar guitarists, but how many songs by Satch would the average listener know outside of MAYBE 3 songs (summer song, surfing with the alien and always with me always with you)? Heck, I can't even identify more than that.
So, you agree he's better...ok.Quote:

Eddie all the way! I did just see Kiss for the first time last week. I was blown away! The show was awesome and the guy on guitar now can rip it. Never was a big Kiss fan, but count me as one now. Van Halen/Hagar are in a different class.
JOE BONAMASSA
The question was EVH vs Ace not others Eddie all the way
Eddie. Not even close.
Eddie, but i would rather listen to Kiss
Edward VanHalen. Heck if he was good enough for Micheal Jackson he should be good enough for y’all

EVH by a landslide
