Eddie in Beat It

[Ron Chi]

I don't know if this is my imagination or did I read it somewhere? Was there a backstory about the non-apppearance of EVH in Michael Jackson's "Beat It" vid? Just think.If Ed did do the video, think about the impact that would have made. The dude went into the studio and did two takes of the solo and then let Quincy Jones take his pick. Legendary.

Wasn't there a scheduling snaggle or contractual reasons for him not being the the video?:confused:

[DlocRoth]

Maybe he didn't feel comfortable being tied to M.J. re-enacting a Sharks/Jets gangland knife ritual...

Seems reasonable to me.

[bantonelli]

Why would he want to be in a video with a Pedophile??

Ed didn't want his good name and legendary status tarnished.

Who knows? Ed was probably scared of this "Surigically Mutilated" Jacko (as ROTH describes in his book) trying to hit on him.

No wine on the set. Only flaming PEPSI and "Jesus Juice," and Michael was saving the "Jesus Juice" for Cory Feldman, ED got pissed and left...

[DlocRoth]

He got freaked out because Webster kept trying to climb up on his lap...

Thank God....

I was thinking the same thing, I downloaded the video to see if they had Ed in thre as like a gang member or something, Nope he's not in there. In the parody version by Weird Al "Eat it' you can see Rick Deringer in the video who played Guitar on his version for like a couple seconds,

MJ bitch slapped him. That's why Eddie was not in the video, he was scared!

"Eddie in Beat It"


He didn't do the video beacause he was afraid DAVE would have kicked him out of VAN HALEN.

Eddie doing his classic solo in the Beat It video as well would have been GREAT but MJ wanted the spotlight for himself.

i would have enjoyed dave in it as one of the gang members, in the dance off scene.

Would have made beating off to the "Beat It" video much more fun, huh rimjob?

HEY. whatever turns you on. if that's you're best fantasy of me, so be it....

[NATEDOG001976]

What the fuck? lol

[krcampbell]

For some reason, I remember reading somewhere that Eddie didn't want to be in the video or credited for the song because he either didn't think it would be a success or because he didn't think it would be good for his "reputation".

That is, he didn't know Michael Jackson was a pedophile in 1983. Had he have known, he would have wanted his name all over that sucker. Perhaps the only reason Eddie married Bertinelli is because he thought she was 16.

Wow. What a ground breaking comeback...

"No, you are!" Or actually, in ritedouche speak: "no u r!" I don't have fantasies about Canadian white-trash illiterates, although I did figure you were female with periodic "period" posts..

Fucking illiterate moron, go get the Canadian equivalent of a "GED" high school equivalency and come back with some game, mmm'kay you owned, feeble little queer attention whore.

Now GET BACK IN THE PEN YOU FUCKING SHEEP!

I like the zombies...yet they scare me!

Yeah I also heard DLR would have fired him or something, for not being fully committed to VH.
