Nothing will ever beat his tone on WACF, but I don't know how anybody can listen to Ed's guitar on the Beats Workin intro and think, "gee, this sounds like shit!"

"Beats Workin' " is the only tune I listen to from ADKoT with any regularity. It's the tune that I think "I'll put that on" and then sometimes it leads me to the others.
The solo on that tune has some real nice moments, and while I wish it were rawer, every once in a while a note hits on the old EVH tones. It's like it breaks through the sheen that I hear on his new tone.
It can't be "Van Halen" without Roth, any more than it can be "Van Halen" without Eddie.

I just gave the whole album a run, really enjoyed it, particularly She's The Woman, China Town, and from As Is onward it completely rocks through to Beat's Workin.
