I haven't posted on this site since Sarge went away awhile back, but this seemed to be a sincere question. I feel Eddie is a really talented guy whom everyone around enables to be an alcoholic. Whether he plays w/Dave or not is irrelevant, he just needs someone to wake him up. I loved VH w/Dave and hope it returns but I don't know how this will happen w/the shape Eddie's in. As much as I love to bash VH w/Hagar, it is really sad to see what is happening to such a talented musician. Half of my love for the Dave era was due to this guy and even though he's done and said some really terrible shit since then, this is such a waste it's unreal. I know I'll probably get slammed for this and I'm not a "Sheep", but I hope things get turned around for him. Alcoholism sucks, and Eddie's not alone in his problem. Let's all hope for the best.
What happened to EVH?

Thanks guys. I guess its common and human for people to lose themselves when they go from nothing to being king of the world, if you will. Some can maintain a decent degree of self-moderation.

You've clearly missed the point here, dude! NOBODY looks the same after 20 years, genius! What folks CAN do is not become alcoholic shitheads that seeks to destroy their own legacy, and Davy Baby has not done that! And Davy Baby looks GREAT! Post a pic of yourself at 50; you won't look half as good."He doesn't need to sell millions of records, he doesn't need to fill arenas, he doesn't need to be popular, he doesn't need your money, AND HE DOESN'T NEED YOU!"

At this point does anybody really give a shit about what happens to eddie. I mean its obvious he does not care about what the fans want. If he cared about the fans he would have done what was right in the first place. Fuck ed, The fans want DLR not some fat shitty knock off or some skinny fuck that bounced around in his splash pants like a fag at a decorators convention. Fuck any thing that has to do with the letter V and H.Comment

I was always pulling for a DLR/VH reunion but at this point, the guy needs some help- I agree. I'm just going to follow Dave, because Eddie is so messed up right now it looks as though everyone in his own band is turned against him right now. How can this guy even call Dave in the state he's in"Sam was totally against the Greatest Hits, period. He didn't want a Roth CD and Sammy CD. He was afraid Roth's would outsell his, so we made it one CD, half and half." -Eddie Van Halen, 1997Comment

He can't! If he never plays again, he should get himself together for HIS sake and his son's."He doesn't need to sell millions of records, he doesn't need to fill arenas, he doesn't need to be popular, he doesn't need your money, AND HE DOESN'T NEED YOU!"
