Bad Cans

Eddie Van Halen supposedly wanted to join Kiss at some point because he was fed up with his own band, or something like that. At least according to Gene.

You know how every now and then this story pops up, and that's pretty much the basic tenor that has been served up in beautifully pre-chewed small bites by lazy online rock journalists for years, which had its origin in Gene's autobiography, if I'm not completely mistaken (1). However, personally I'm just fascinated by this totally cracked thought process of what would have happened if Eddie had actually become the lead guitarist for Kiss in the early 80s. It would be unthinkable without going completely crazy, wouldn't it?

I mean, would Paul have advised him to listen to more Eric Clapton for the Animalize (1984) recordings or made him play a Led Zeppelin guitar solo from 1969 (2) more or less faithfully?

Side Note:

(1) That was the book with the brownies anecdote, wasn't it? It's been a whole while since I read that one.

(2) Who is surprised that the second half of Good Times, Bad Times' solo has found its way onto another Animalize track? And yes, I will definitely tell you more about it, sooner or later.

The solos are highlighted:

Get All You Can Take (1984)

Good Times Bad Times (1969)
