Well being from Canada, I'm not sure if my opinion counts...however 30 years of playing guitar in bars and partys over the years in various bands up here in the Great White North gives me some input.
Ok so you want to pick a Supergroup and some even have to think about whether Eddie Van Halen isn't the best to start the line up playing lead? There is nobody that even came close to playing like he did in his time...his feel, his attack, his attitude...nobody came close...others followed, some were faster, some more flashy, but where are they now?
As for a song writer one persons comment said he could'nt write...this person obviously has'nt listened to Right Now. No song sums up life better.
For those who question his playing style, try playing the lead to Mean Street and get back to me when you do. Doubt you will, and if you do, then maybe you'll appreciae where I'm coming from.
Rumour has it the Van Halen band is going to be the next group to be on "You could be a Rock Star" to find a new singer. If they do, watch the attention this will draw...talk about ratings...yipes.
If your looking for a Rock Supergroup put Eddie up with Slash on stage then you'd be cookin' on high....Eddie is the "out there" lead player and Slash will deliver that old style rock guitar style wil blistering speed to compliment it.
In this guys opinion, they are the best you've got...be proud you got them.
