Anyhow Eddie could slow down time with his guitar. He was magical both playing and with stage presence.

Too bad you found one of the artists that influenced Eddie to be boring. Some of EVH's playing style came from Jimmy Page.
Defend people from my time? If I was doing that, I'd be all over myself for mentioning Jimmy Page because EVH IS from my time. I have tinnitus partly because of Van Halen and partly because those old school Kenwood 6x9's with an amp and EQ pumping Van Halen through them just sounded so damn good. I just have a good grasp of reality and who was truly influential. I'm sure Eddie influenced others as he well should because he was incredibly gifted. But "the most influential"??
Now.... back to Eddie... one of the greats for sure.
