Eddie Van Halen

To make it perform at its best, it had to be limited so that its superpowers wouldn't take over and destroy everything. The gut-puller David Lee Roth was in this sense the ideal; with a star like him, no one else would dare to want to be the leading lady. So, Eddie had to learn to control his enormous energy and channel it for the band, thus becoming the DEFINITIVE metal guitarist. Then Sammy Hagar came along and ruined everything.
