"this just the tip of the ice cube"

Ed's pickled... he's permadrunk, he's an embarrassment to Fender, to himself and to his fans. His guitar playing sucks beyond words. You wonder what you ever saw in this guy in the first place and then you realize what it was… David Lee Roth.

LOL!

I like that expression "permadrunk"...I know a few people like that! :D

I may have to steal your last paragraph for my sig

[frets5150]

I hear some new tunes out of this
1 The little Harmonic thing 1:12.1:16 mark
2 5:14-5:21 mark

Great another EVH invention taking your 1/4 plug out of your guitar and putting it in your mouth
then by your ass then hitting your Floyd rose with it then back in your mouth.


I want my old Slippery Ed back.

Been a fan of Ed since 1981...and have been fucking embarassed by him for several years now, but today's videos have given me some hope. Don't rain on my parade.

Wrong... It wasn't DLR it was EVH's Guitar Wizardry That Drew people to him.
Honestly if it was not for EVH's guitar playing there would be no DLR M.A or AVH.Granted after the first tour it was all about EVH and DLR but honestly what made you go apeshit when you heard VH 1?It was EVH playing Nuff said

[Blackflag]

These 'don't insult the companies' comments are moronic. Like he owes Music Man something? No, they owe him something. But it's just business - relationship over.

Kramer was shit, MM dicked him around...who knows what happened with Peavey?

All he said is that Fender - his current company - "got it right." Yeah, shame on him. Whatever.

You dudes just want to hate on the man. Stop being so bitter. If you hate him so much, stop asking for a reunion. Same for you idiots who say he can't play.




Jealousy is an ugly thing.

[UGS]

It is a shame how he can't enjoy his present partnership with Fender without disrespecting his past work.

It's also a huge shame that someone lucky enough to survive tongue cancer would then go on to continue smoking.

It's an even bigger shame that someone with his natural talent would squander the last 22 years.

And in spite of all that, I'm still drawn in by his guitar playing. Sure, he's not 21 anymore, but you can't deny that he's still got the touch and feel.

Oh, come on now...give the guy a fuckin break. HE'S SLURRING BECAUSE A QUARTER OF HIS TOUNGE IS MISSING! He wasnt drunk. If he was drunk he wouldnt have been so nervous, which is obvious. He seems to finally be turning things around, playing better, embracing the glory days instead of shunning them, offering Dave his career back, and you shit on him like a bitter little bitch. If you are a TRUE Dave fan you should be EMBRACING this stuff! Dave would be selling used cars if it wasnt for Ed, Dave knows it and you SHOULD know it. In fact, I recall that quote from Roth himself, "I would be up all night reading comics and Edward would be up all night PLAYING HIS GUITAR". You internet primadonnas, never satisfied. For fuck sakes.....

Exactly.

And he never claimed to be a good public speaker. He's not a poet, he's a guitar player.

You want a big mouth, go listen to Hillary Clinton. Or your mother.

You want the brown sound? Listen to EVH, because it sounds like it's back.

[PlexiBrown]

Wrong... It wasn't DLR it was EVH's Guitar Wizardry That Drew people to him.

Amen.

[Knuclebones03]

He does show us he can still play the old stuff with ease. With Roth singing it will be great to see.

Yes, thanks for the links.

But I am a little scared of the dark now that I have seen this footage.

I was there in '78. Trust me... the magic's gone.

[diamondsgirl]

That vid at 2:07 , did anyone notice he played the chords from that super oldie "Just What You Wanted" from the six flags bootleg? Just caught that. ANYWAY-anyone remember the 2 dorks thing in 2004 when Ed played a new riff over the phone "by accident"? It was awesome, kinda 2 chord progressions at once. Fuckin brilliant! I think hes gonna surprise us one more time, and I am genuinely happy for him, hes gonna hook up with Dave and KICK OUR ASSES. I hope.

or Dave.

And I say that with much love, as Dave was always the "speaker" in the group
