    Bellevue Hospital for the Musically Insane.

    Please name some musicians that have officially crossed the line from genius to insanity. Here are three obvious patients:

    Eddie Van Halen:
    Became insane in 1996 by swerving the fans with a pseudo-reunion in an attempt to gain publicity for a new VH with a political art rock “edge.” Now he spends his days in a drunken stupor in 5150 conjuring up 10 albums worth of a material while periodically repackaging greatest hits albums with a mere three new songs on it.

    Ed Before:

    Ed After:

    Ritchie Blackmore:
    Went insane in the late 90s. The Electric guitar god responded to guillotining of the guitar in the 90s by dumping his famed Strat for green tights and a new Minstrel band - Blackmore’s Night.


    Blackmore Before:

    Blackmore After:

    Axl Rose:
    Axl Rose
    Went over the edge in the mid 90s. Self destructed his over hyped band. Been in seclusion for a decade creating a yet to be released album. Reemerged on MTV bloated for brief interlude before scrapping his North America tour and returning to work on his Chinese Democracy.

    Axl Before:

    Axl After:
    The Fat Lady is singing for Van Hagar.

      I don't think so Wayne. Even if you do know something about Bellevue!

      I would say Ed, Axl, and Ritchie are the three best candidates.

        Do you know who Paul McCartney, Ozzy Osbourne & Pete Townshend are or are you just insane yourself?

            Why would you say Paul McCartney (your self-proclaimed hero no less!) or Mr. Pete Townsend Wayne? Explain.

            I could add perhaps Michael Schenker to the list, although I'm not really certain. He's had his moments.
