    The Top Jimmy rumor

    People have said for years that the reason VAN HALEN never performed "Top Jimmy" live is because Ed almost got shocked to death recording the song. I can't remember the exact details, but everything I hear is about Landee leaving a lamp unplugged or something. Anyone got the lowdown?

          LOL!!!

          Too bad he didn't die, we would have never had this Van Hagar bullshit and Eddie couldn't have ruined his own life and career the way he has...

              I would guess it had to do with guitar tunings.... top jimmy requires different tunings IIRC

                  He could have just had a guitar for that one song though.

                  It was recorded on a stereo guitar...that may have had a little to do with it too.
