Eddie Van Halen or Ace Frehley?

[5 BASS ASSASIN]

Maybe Ace is in the same universe as Eddie as a tile grouter.

You wont get a “sir” from me but I would recommend you exit .. stage right.

[pa.X19]

Wow! Is this a serious question? EVH is on the Mt. Rushmore of rock guitarist. Ace Freely is not even close.

Of course it's serious

[BASSBUZZ]

Eddie by a long shot.

[bobh4656]

Eddie by a LONG SHOT. Ace?? Kiss?? really? this is a joke yes?

[barkleyhawggitter]

Not a fan of either but its no contest that its Van Halen.

[Hart]

Eddie

[dean c]

You be the judge.....

[LonnieP]

Eddie. Not even close

[Silkstringz]

Eddie is on the mt Rushmore of rock guitarists. A pioneer. Ace freely is not in the top 100 all time in my opinion.

[Capw]

Ace couldn't even string Ed's guitar.

[RoFromMo]

If not for the make-up / costumes / stage show we never would have heard of Kiss.

[Tom G.]

Sigh...it's like asking who's better technically ...Metallica or AC/DC?

[Champ2005]

As a guitarist, Eddie stands head and shoulders above Ace. A better argument for Ace, might be who was the better showman.

[nighthawk]

Eddie.

Eddie Van Halen was one of the best.

Terry Kath, original Chicago Guitarist and lead singer was really underrated, watch his solo from 1970 on 25 or 6 to 4, starting at around the 25:30 mark.

Eddie

[scbasscatowner]

Eddie but Angus young from Ac/Dc is got to be up there too.

[5 BASS ASSASIN]

Sounds like Saturday night gutair wars to me... anyone

[Tom G.]

Eddie Van Halen was one of the best.

Terry Kath, original Kansas Guitarist and lead singer was really underrated, watch his solo from 1970 on 25 or 6 to 4, starting at around the 25:30 mark.

Chicago, not Kansas.

Eddie. No contest. I know Eruption is essentially his trademark solo, but if you get into his later tunes, check out Respect the Wind. Now that is an EVH solo. The dives and swells in that piece are amazing.
