Eruption is killer, but is just the intro for "You Really Got Me". I feel like I'd have to compare that to "Sweet Child of Mine".

I haven't listened to GnR in a long time. I have listened to Van Halen.
OK, I listened to most of both. From a musical standpoint, Sweet Child of Mine is probably a better song, but Van Halen back in the day with Eddie and Dave and the guys had something, an energy, that came through in their music. Eruption is still killer and "You Really Got Me" is also excellent the way they do it.

The drums set a rhythm that is (to my ear) anticipatory in that the second strike comes in just a wee bit sooner than expected which gives the song an edge.

If I had the score I could really make your eyes glaze over.
Thanks, hearing your more educated take on it is interesting. I tried listening to the parts in SCoM when I was listening, and it's a good song with a lot going on.

For me, that old Van Halen has an energy where the music transcends the rest even if there's a simplicity to it.

We all flashed in the pan at least once.

It's funny that all Axl dreamed about was pretty girls and green grass. I mean..... that's all he needed to be in "paradise?" The modesty belies his reputation

Considering some of the current pics of him floating around. I think he may have wanted to pie or cookie or ice cream too. :D

I'll go with GnR, the Riff is so cool. If the VH song was Ain't Talkin Bout Love or Unchained I may have made a different choice.

Many of us grew up with VH, I did and learn to like them from Jr high on. Gun and Roses was much later at the point where I stop listenning to music. I don't know, I like 'em both but VH has that kick in the pants solo and they do a much better job in Pretty then Roy Oberson.

If you want a great VH opening riff.....look no further.......;)

Eruption and You Really Got me are two different tracks…

I’ve heard Sweet Child of Mine so many times that I look for something else on the radio when it comes on, lest I vomit up my last meal.

GnR had a few moments, VH kicks their ass, all day long.

I’m going to have to go with Van Halen.
