Andy Johns on the Brothers Van halen..from EQ magazine

[lafours]

from this months eq Magazine:

"Eddie decided he would mix their live record himself."

"They spent six months. Six Months", he says. "And then eventually he broke down. I put it on and in a half hour it's starting to sound like something. Now hes getting pissed off , because it's not fair. Wow, there it is. And I said, 'Come on boys, come in and listen.' So Eddie and Al come in to listen. I go to the kitchen, I come back in, and Eddies crying. He's on the mixer, wah wah wah, and Al's going, "It's alright , Eddie. He'll never be able to play guitar like you.' Ha ha ha ! It's true!"


can you say HOWDY DOODY MOUNTAIN?

Jesus......

I spell unstable E.V.H.......

[tjvhou812]

lol

[TOM_5150]

Ed's a bit sensitive.

[Panamark]

And the sisters continually try and paint Dave as a lunatic ????

[Panamark]

Its funny that Ed tried for six months and this dude fixes it in half an hour !

[DLR'sCock]

My friend is an engineer at a fairly known studio and Andy Johns worked with my bud for two weeks. That guy is a maniac, but knows his shit, and the stoires are endless!!!!


Fuck the sista's!!!!

I don't doubt it.

Geez, I just had this mental picture of someone being introduced to Ed, they have to be given a full on lecture before they say anything to him: "Now be very careful with Edward, he doesn't like....blah....and he doesn't like blah...and he's very sensitive about...etc."

What a fuckin' tool. He must have hit the bottle pretty hard that night.

Just as much as this displays Eddie's meltdown, it also shows just far Al has his brother by the balls.

Way to allow your brother to become a co-dependent train wreck, big Al. Five stars.

[DLR'sCock]

I am telling you that Al has run that band sinceDave left. It's all Al's fault!!

[superdave]

It sounds like Ed has really went over the edge

[bueno bob]

Fuckin' ridiculous.

I swear to Christ, if I ever cross paths with Ed or Al, I'm just gonna start swinging and consider it self defense against their rabid lunacy...

[superdave]

I would probably feel sorry for Ed, and just let him drink himself into a fucking stupor, whereas Al just needs the piss beaten out of him for thinking he is such an integral part of the band

[Terry]

Yeah, and that live album was a landmark accomplishment for Van Halen in terms of the performances.......no, wait, those sucked.....oh, but it SOUNDED great.....oh, hold on a sec, it sounded just like the Van Hagar studio albums; shit.

The Van Halens stink on ice, but fuck Andy Johns.

[BrownSound1]

Well Andy didn't record those shows...you can't polish a turd.
