Dave should show up in Ed's place.

With a couple of hookers in tow.

Ed would predictably show up drunk with a new EVH model guitar and amp, fumble his way through Eruption, bum the kid out and stumble out of the hospital.

Least with Dave the kid would get a few laughs and a couple of strippers grinding on his lap for a bit.

Props to this kid. Dig his smile at the very end of the video. Couldn't find any info on EVH taking the time to see this kid.

Me too. Reminds me of the kid that wanted to meet Motley Crue. I hope he got his wish.

Sadly, this all reminds me of an old Saturday Night Live skit featuring John Belushi as Babe Ruth and Garret Morris as a hospital bound, black young fan....

Anyone know what I am talking about?

[Panamark]

Ed should get there poste haste, with a signed guitar in hand !!

[GAR]

That leaves him only 6 MONTHS to hang around 5150 studios and wait for the limo to show up and take him to the airport!

the first sabbath album was recorded and mixed in two weekends.. just sayin'..

[WARF]

Sad stuff there... I'll be the first to flame Eddie if he doesnt show up.

[J Curling]

Ed, don't disappoint us this time.

Anyone know what I am talking about?

vaguely...but yeah.

[GAR]

Didnt EVH visit Jason Becker and spend time with him for a little while after he became wheelchair-bound?

He might do it, but if the Becker visit is any indicator, he'd do it and you wouldn't find out about it till a year later, third-party.

[fryingdutchman]

Ed, don't disappoint us this time.

Yeah...that's exactly what Ed's worried about.

Disappointing the fans.

Don't worry champ...that would be so unlike him.

Boy is my son

Hello everyone,
I joined this great sight after coming across it while searching the web. Bradley is my son. Bradley has been doing well with the treatments. Thank God for modern medicine. He is now in remission and in what is called "maintennance phase." He still has chemo for another 16 months, but less brutal than the first. His hair is growing back and I took him to school today for 1/2 day. He is feeling like a kid again and I cannot express how proud I am of him. He wants to meet Eddie not for what he did in 1978, but for his entire career of awesome music. His first and second concerts were VH this last tour in Sacramento and in Reno. His third concert was Rush and we are now counting down to see Metallica in December. Bradley is a true rocker. His Ipod is full of the music I loved as a kid, with every VH song ever recorded. He plays guitar and is quite awesome. Type "Zugel" in youtube and you can see a couple videos of him and his brother. He tears up "Im the One."
Even bigger than a great musician meeting a young fan is the fact that Eddie is a cancer survivor himself, as well as a dad. We are going to LA in a couple of weeks to meet him and my son is beyond excited. I am so grateful to Eddie for agreeing, and for everyone who has been so helpful during this very rough time for Bradley and our family. Music has been a great healer.
Glad to be part of the Roth Army.
Take care!
