Only Dave can save them. Dave might tell them to fuck off too. LOL!

Eddie had clean hair that day. It had a sheen to it. I can remember the last tour where his hair was a matted rat's next with cigarette ashes in it and he had ink pen drawings all over him. Someone was playing color the drunk that day.

Eddie seems like the type who would tell the dentist,"Aw fuck it man, just pull all the motherfuckers out!"

I bet he has a new set of dentures and that is what is messing his speech up. They should get Polydent to sponsor their tour this summer.

Seriously - if you hate EVH this much, why are you still following what he does and watching video clips of him?

I find it extremely odd that the EVH frankenstrat is no where to be found on the Fender website. No hint of it. Even doing a search on Van Halen turns up nothing.
Seems like Fender would really want to aggressively promote and market such an expensive and limited product. Instead, we get an article in one guitar publication.

They're all sold out already. No need to advertise.

He looks and sounds so fucking drunk. At the end one that one video, he reminded me of Ozzy Orbourne stumbling all over the place. The sound was good, playing sucked, but he was just showing off the merchandise not his art. This was a sales pitch for his guitar only so I give him that. What I read in it and wont make anything of it but you all will, he says "This is only the beginning. This is the ice cube, wait until I show you the iceberg." Hmmmm.

Or maybe it's the whole "half his tongue was removed due to cancer" thing....



I, for one, am glad to see that he actually has teeth again. Gone are the days of the "Oswald Cobblepot mouth" drooling black shit everywhere.

This is the most lucid, "put-together" version of Ed we've seen in a couple of years.

Still not great....but compared to what came before, it's a marked improvement.

We've seen the "tip of the ice cube." Now let's see the ICEBERG!

No...he doesn't, really.

Not compared to 2004 and 2005.

I am sure he had his teeth capped and not pulled. Eddie just can't win with some people!!! People have been complaining about his teeth for years now and when he finally gets them fixed people are now bashing him for that. Misery loves company I guess!

[Pasadena Bunnie]

I think the bottomline is:

No matter who is bashing EVH right now, it's done with some affection for the guy. We love EVH or at least, the EVH of yesterday...

I'm happy to see him making some efforts to get out of the house and do something other than be a recluse with the bottle - not to say he isn't keeping the bottle as his constant companion....

I give EVH an "A" for effort to clean up his act for his finale with DLR.

Holy shit...thanks for my laugh of the day Dutch!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!



And I 100% agree...Ed looks and sounds WAY better than he did just a few short years ago.

Amen.It could have been alot worse-cancer is a motherfucker.
Although he DOES appear as if he has spent the last 5 years talking to "Wilson".

Why don't all you creeps just stop hating on the man? Stop making everything personal. You're like stalkers who pretend they "know" the celebrity.

He's a bad guy because he drinks? I drink. He's a bad guy because he doesn't like his previous companies? You should hear what I say about my previous employers.

Word: None of you can play like him in your wildest wet dreams. You'll never have a fraction of the money he has. You'll never go all the places he has.

And now the Fender CEO is a bad guy for making his company money. Man, you fuckers are clueless.

If you don't like his playing, then shut up and stop listening, you bitter little fucks.

That's the spirit ! Yawn...

On a seriouse note, Ed had chemotherapy for oral cancer. My sister was never the same after she went through that. Sometimes the cure does some damage too and let's face it, he never was the same Ed after he went through that.
