What's funny is that Eddie did that with Gary on the VDIII tour, but the meaning was entirely different.

What a travesty!

That means that Ed had his foot up Gary's ass all that time.

Whereas Al's had his dick up Sam's ass since day one (of Van Hagar, I say!)

I just dont think it's in Ed's heart to be doing this. Let's face it. Ed is a full blown Alchy. Mood swings, tantrums... He isn't going to get along with people. Lets not klick him well he's down. I ache for him. This isn't funny, It VERY SAD. Anyone laughing has not LIVED with an alcholic with a mind deranged from alcoholism. Imagine what those kids were thinking. Just for a minute stop thinking of DAVE, stop thinking of THE MUSIC and think like a human being. Sorry folks, I love this board and alot of you peeps, but there is NOTHING funny about this behavior.

No, what's funny is for years the sheep have blamed everything on DAVE while insisting that Van Hagar got along as happily as their cheese ballads would suggest. Ed's horrible playing throughout this entire tour proves that last night's incident was not a fluke, that the tour was all about money, and that Eddie is the problem in this band.

The last thing a raging lunatic alcoholic in that state of mind needs is his sheep or his brother enabling his pathetic drunken ass anymore, he needs to be locked up in a padded cell at Betty Ford. Or since he's in Tucson anyway, send him up the road to that facility where Mush Limpdick did his rehab.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

For you it's early. It's 10PM out here in Funland! And it's Miami Vice time too... So if you'll excuse me...

[light 'em up!]

Only a day ago, I was wondering to myself how it would all end.
Ed probably thought he was going out in a blaze of glory... stupid drunk bastard.

[Coyote]

I'd love to stay and shoot the shit, but I gotta jet. A friend/bandmate invited me over to watch it. And drink loads of B33R!!

Can ya pull your head out of your Sam vs Dave ass mindset for possibly 5 minutes and explore the possibility that the problem with this band is acutally the fact that this man is acloholic who can't get along with ANYONE? Not Dave's fault, not Sam's fault, NOT Ed's fault! He's a fucking alcoholic. Everybody keeps coming back to him TRYING to make it work, KNOWING full well that IT'S NEVER GONNA CHANGE! What's that saying? About doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? Com'on FORD gimme a BREAK! The man is a great guitar player and these guys WANT to work with him, alcoholic or not. When the cookie crumbles, they need not point fingers, they knew what they were getting themselves into.
