Did you know this about eddie van halen, or not?

Well, if you listen to the album U.K. from around 1978 it definitely sounds like eddie van halen guitarwork.

It sounds like some guitarwork eddie van halen would do much later on though.

So, at least to me it's obvious eddie took inspiration from that album. But I'm no expert on guitar sound , I could be wrong.

And, while hearing u.k. I almost thought it was eddie van halen at some points.
