EDDIE IN THE NEWS

CNN CLIP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BhZl-gaWDE

(Los Angeles, CA - January 30, 2009) We all know the signature sound, the trademark guitars, the incomparable songwriting, and the innovation. But fans of Eddie Van Halen will soon get a rare, up-close-and-personal peek behind the magic of the legendary guitarist.

Throughout early February, Eddie Van Halen will be appearing in several media outlets chatting about the new EVH “Wolfgang” guitar, his most recent line of EVH products, and giving fans an unparalleled look into his world.

The brand new EVH “Wolfgang” guitar, debuted January 15 at the 2009 NAMM show in Anaheim, CA to a truly amazing reception and created one of the biggest buzzes at the show attended by musical instrument retailers from around the world.

Eddie has destroyed old ways of thinking about guitars and brought the same genius, innovation and creativity from his playing directly into the design and manufacturing process, giving new meaning to the term ‘high-performance.' Since its introduction just two weeks ago, the all new EVH Wolfgang guitar is blowing people away, with the massive demand far exceeding all original estimates.

The guitar, which Eddie road tested nightly on the critically acclaimed, highly successful Van Halen 2007-2008 North American tour, boasts loads of features. Among them are stainless steel frets, double-potted custom-wound pickups, five-piece binding on the matching body and headstock, custom-made signature tuning machines and Floyd Rose bridge, and new low-friction pots. Also coming soon is the brand new, D2H (Drop To Hell) Tailpiece. Stay tuned to www.evhgear.com for an exclusive video of Eddie himself explaining, demonstrating and telling the story behind this very unique, innovative patented tailpiece. For information about all EVH Brand Gear and accessories visit www.evhgear.com.

Readers will learn more about Eddie’s products and get that rare perspective of his life when he appears on CNN and CNN.com January 30-February 2, February 2 on AOL.com, in the February 6 issue of “Rolling Stone” and in the February 10 issue of “Variety.” The “Rolling Stone” interview includes a candid conversation between Eddie and reporter Brian Hiatt, and exclusive photography fresh off of the press.

Man, I just know we're back into two or three years of golf stories and new guitar stories. If they could spend a whole money-raking tour in separate dressing rooms, there's no reason for them to spend six months together in 5150.

My life is just too busy to care about Ed's useless updates at this point. But I do hope they continue the reunion at some point...

I guess if you were a musician, then this newsletter might be relevant, but anyone who cares about the equipment, really doesn't need a newsletter to know about it's release.

Yeah...I got this in my e-mail too.

Another big snooze....:indifferent0020:

More blah, blah, blah, bullshit from the porn chick/EVH marketing juggernaut.

Tell me he's using the fucking guitar during the sessions for a new album and THEN I'll get fucking excited...

Rikk, great to read a post of yours after quite a long time! :cool:

I agree about life being way too busy to care about so called "updtates" that bring no news but... no news! :rolleyes:

This is odd...the last Newsletter listed the address of High Profile Media as being 328 Blackwell, Charlotte, NC 27712. Now it's located at 12930 Ventura Blvd #641 Studio City, CA 91604. The outfit sure moves around a bit, eh? http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-confused-smileys-718.gif (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/Free-Confused-Smileys/)

WOW!!

I read this over at the RF a couple hrs ago as in here and have checked my E-Mail several times, it just popped up .

DANG!!

Even at light speed, 186K~MPS, thru fiber-optic cable the mid-west is five hrs behind everybody else...lol

The press has been as we all have heard that nothing is going to hit the turntables from VH until Wolfie graduates this spring.

So I am not anticipating anything till then but it is great to see Ed with a guitar in his hand talking shop..



MUTHA ON ROTHS!!

At least it's not bad news. That's what it seems to be over the last15 year's with him.

I suppose it would be of interest if I didn't have the strong feeling that in a year from now Ed will have yet another "EVH" model guitar out and he'll then be recycling the same old "this is the best guitar yet, all the other ones before were shite" press gambit quotes.

Who the fuck cares what gear he's selling? Use some of it to make an album with Roth...and stick with the recent Charvel EVH-series while he's at it, because the sounds he got out of his Wolfgang guitar live last year weren't anything spectacular at the show I saw (a very muddy, mid-range slush), whereas the Charvels sounded crisp and clear.
