Truly one of the most a$$-kicking guitar players...and vocalists...of the past 40 years. I can't help but wonder, if Pat had maybe done a different cover for the jacket of this album, he might not have been bigger in the States. (I mean, that spaghetti strap number he's wearing...right? Haha) Also, it probably didnt help that he launched his career directly into the buzzsaw that was Van Halen in 1978. But if you ask me, Eddie couldn't blow Pat and his band off the stage even if his Frankenstrat was plugged into a jet engine.
