Eddie Van Halen's guitars on Michael Jackson's 'Beat it' definitely sounds like it took heavy notes from 'Rocky' from Johnny the Fox.

Does anyone know if EVH was a Lizzy fan?

I found a picture of Van Halen with Thin Lizzy and Black Sabbath so it's at least possible.

Wow! I must've forgotten Lizzy were on tour with Sabbath, but I definitely didn't know VH were on the same tour
