I guess I can agree here. I would call them Hard Rock. But as they were a bit harder than their contemporaries, I can see the connection now.

No power at all? The solo at the beginning is classic Eddie Van Halen, widely regarded as a genius amongst his peers. I can't think of a single hard-rock band who would kill at the chance to have him in their band.

Ted's solo above may be technically inferior, but he kicks Van Halen's ass twice nevertheless! That's what I meant when I said 'power'!
