Eddie drunk at Dimebag's funeral

[John Holmes]

A few buddies who have been there reported me in ICQ Eddie was completely wasted.



Another confirmation came from Blabbermouth:

"Van Halen shared the stage with guitarist Zakk Wylde, the two downing shots of liquor as they talked about their rock comrade. "

"On the other hand it was also sad to see Eddie Van Halen in the shape he was in. There's a point when being drunk just isn't funny and Eddie Van Halen was at that point tonight"

"He was rude and abnoxious and wouldn't give Zakk Wylde one second to talk. If I was Zakk I would of gave Ed a good sock in the mouth to shut him the hell up"

"The memorial was sweet, but I didnt like the way an obviously distraught Rex was rushed off the stage. But [the city of] Arlington does have curfew laws and they couldn't very well rush Eddie fucking Van Halen offstage"

"Eddie Van Halen was there and so was Zakk Wylde and they were both pretty buzzed from drinking".

Another guy says:

"When Eddie came out and stole the thunder from what was beggining to be a very good tribute from Zakk, it was really obnoxious. It almost seemed like Eddie realized that the world may not be revolving around him for a few minutes and he had to fix that. It broke out into almost an Abbott and Costello routine between he and Zakk. There were a few times I thought Zakk was going to kick Eddie's ass. He didn't seem entirely amused by the whole thing.

Sometimes people a big deal out of nothing. This is rock'n'roll after all.
DD Liked drinking as well.

Thank you already sure Ed was a drunkin mess on this tour but enough is enough already If it was DLR bet you no stink would be made.

I think the point being made about Eddie realizing the world didn't revolve around him and him trying to get it back on track was a good one. Eddie at this point is more of a Joke than the idea Sammy Hagar was a good replacement for David Lee Roth

Do you have to defend Roth everytime?
No offense, but that sounds gay..ish
I do prefer Roth over the VH sisters, but come on, man

[DavidLeeNatra]

[VanRoth]

You're right about that!

Kurt Cobain was a fucking junkie, I don't think that means everybody's supposed to publicly shot up heroin at his fucking funeral.
