Different legacy.

Not to take anything away from EVH, who inspired countless millions to pick up a guitar and play it with both hands but the band itself wasn't particularly revolutionary, Eddie was.

Black Sabbath, on the other hand, was one of 4 or 5 bands that defined heavy music itself. There probably wouldn't be a Van Halen without Black Sabbath.
