That's a great point, and EVERYONE includes Randy Rhoads! In his last interview before he was killed, Randy plain out said he adopted EVH's tapping and other licks to liven up his performances. Whatever dumb stuff Ed has done, he never climbed into a smal plane to buzz his tourbus. THAT was dumb, and
Randy paid with his life for that stupid mistake. Always remember, if Don Airey tells you something is cool, don't do it!
