Eddie Van Halen turns 56 today!

[VanHalenFan5150]

Another day, another nail in the coffin, eh?

[Seshmeister]

He doesn't look a day over 65

Happy Birthday Ed!

At 56, get your kicks!

He's still doing well IMO. He's visibly gained a few pounds, which even makes him look a bit younger...

That said, year after year you tend to push old age a little farther - when I was Wolf's age, I would consider 35 year olds as old farts, whereas today they're youngsters to me.

I reckon that you don't look nor feel your age, Sesh!

[Seshmeister]

I felt it from the 3rd to the 6th of January this year.

Part of me is still there.

I watched a bit of Airheads last night on TV and Steve Buscemi is in the rock band.

I thought that's ridiculous, he's far too old to play that part. Looked it up and he was 36 when he made it...

I'm rolling through the 6-pack at work today in honour of Eddie's birthday... I have a birthday in just about 5 months, and I expect there to be a new VH album and tour waiting for me. Happy birthday, indeed!

[Jagermeister]

Well another day lost in the studio.

[PETE'S BROTHER]

i'm sure it's a workin' birfday

Ah, you mean it took 3 days for you to recover!

Oops!

Then you'd think the other way round about Wolfgang playing with his father and uncle - but there's something positively funny in his presence...
Since we won't ever get the original four back, might as well do with this set, just as long as Dave is in the band...

By the way, it seems that Ed's temper has been improving over the recent years, as he made up with Dave, did a whole tour with him and even started recording at last! I don't think M. A. would agree, but it seems he's ageing rather well, isn't he?

Happy Birthday, you sandbaggin' sumbitch.....

Now you and your quote/unquote publicist get back to work....

[fryingdutchman]

What an odd feeling...

It's Ed's birthday, yet I feel that HE should be giving US the gift...

[Blaze]

Happy Birthday Eddie!

It is rumored that Eddie went on a bender in Miami!

Witnesses reported that he was seen with an entourage of beefy Cubans boarding a boat with a winch. Sometimes mumbling, sometimes ranting odd phrases like "He'll get the right depth of sound." Some witnesses were worried he was going to do something drastic; but that his entourage was so hot-looking the witnesses knew that his entourage would never let anything bad happen to anyone. The witnesses reported that he kept ranting about some "blonde-hair freak" and how he was "going to get that damn sound, just like that persnickety blonde Russian wanted." It was also reported that Eddie kept saying he wanted "his damn keys" that nothing was going to keep his keys from the Van Halen "sound"

The piano recently showed up on the sandbar, about 200 yards from condominiums on the shore. The piano, which weighs at least 650 pounds, was placed at the highest spot along the sandbar so it doesn't get underwater during high tide. While officials aren't sure how it got there, they know it won't be going anywhere unless it becomes a hazard to wildlife or boaters. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee)



Happy B'day Eddie! Hope it was a dinger!
