No Kidding!!!

KL: MTV news. This just in. EVH has breakdown on stage in AZ.
"cue the sounds of crickets chirping"

Utterly sad how far those fuckers have fallen.

If Dave becoming an EMT on weekends makes global headlines, I'm sure EVH going psycho on stage will hit the wires. Though, the shit is taking a bit long to hit the fan. Bad news is always more exciting than a story about a good Samaritan.

This is the same media that goes on and on about a Shit Salesman nobody from Modesto who killed his wife. This is the same media that puts stories about a baseball player's wife's sex tape on page one. This is the same media that made Robert Blake allegedly killing his fat wife a national story. So, based on the media's history, I'll expect perhaps a blurb on the wires and maybe a 1 minute mention about this on Fox News.

Jeff from vhstore says this is all blown outta proportion and nothing out of the ordinary happened.

sure, VH staying together is good for his business, he's got an interest in denying everything.

like i said in the other thread, i'm just waiting to see what kind of an explanation they're going to have for the press/public.

Thats wild, looking forward to hearing more about this, we should have started a pool awhile ago about when Eddie would finally break down, suddenly I feel like listening to the Doors tune The End, what a perfect way for Van Hagar to end....

Exactly what was "blown out of proportion?"

viva van hagar, hitchybaby...

here's his post.

This thread is crazy! I WAS THERE. The show was GREAT! This "Ed going crazy" thing has been blown WAY out of proportion. I can't believe JMJ's post that started this thread. My friends & I were all in the 3rd row and could see everything. The show was great & the band waws having a great time. YES, Ed did beat up his guitar, but we thought that was pretty entertaining! Yeah, it was kinda weird, but kinda funny too. Very rock 'n' roll. We walked away from the show thinking the show was awesome & fun, and I can't believe someone walked away all depressed thinking that Ed hates everybody!

We have great memories of the show. It was awesome. highlights were... ALEX, Mike's solo, Breakfast, Doctor, Sammy's solo ("Tropic of Capricorn" with a great video), the "Doctor" who came out onstage, Kari coming out on stage, Mike's daughter coming out & messing with Mike, Wolfgang playing with the band (not just the solo) & more.

Gotta go now. I'll post more later.
