How ironic that Thriller's long run at #1 kept VH's 1984 from making it to #1? And EVH, IMHO, helped Thriller get there, as his playing on Beat It made it ok for white teenage boys to listen to MJ. I read a story EVH told where he was in Tower Records in the Sherman Oaks Galleria and Beat It came on the radio. He overheard one kid say to his buddy, "Listen to that guy try to play like EVH." Ed tapped him on the shoulder and said, "That is me."
