Believe it or not I was watching "Kiss My Ass" and after "Shock Me" Ace Frehly did his own little guitar solo. The solo sounded like **** but I noticed he did some very basic two-handed tapping in it and this was in 1977 one year before the first Van Halen album came out. Rhoads is way off though because he didn't come into the American music till 1981 and he came into the Japan scene in 1979 so it couldn't have been him. But I think he's way better than Eddie Van Halen anyway.
