    He pulled off the machinegun style without missing a stroke....using only his wrist as usual.What are you talking about?

      I do like his talent and he has some great ideas when he's on. Plus, the guy got the best guitar tone ever.

      Dave Roth was right. Eddie is a lousey human being when he doesn't have a guitar in his hand.
      Like Dave says,"I don't have to love you to make good music with you."

      Ed reinvented a Fender to suit his needs in '77 and the popularity grew. Kramer came close(I had 2) as far as guitar design, then the music man/penis combo changed his sound completely.It's back where it should be.

        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
        Agreed.
        Then I saw them live and realized it wasn't ALL about Eddie anymore.

          Obviously, Ed can (and does) say whatever the fuck he wants, but it's just a telling factor about the self-centeredness of the man, like Nitro Express and the Architect pointed out.

          Probably also explains why the man won't go out on the road with Roth, even though it's fairly obvious that's what a majority of people want to see - it's because Ed does whatever Ed wants to do to please Ed only. If his former bandmates, former business associates and former fanbase don't like what he has to say, it's all their problem, not his.
          I dont get what is wrong there? He SHOULD please himself. Thats what geniouses and true artists do. You people dont seem to understand his position. He REINVENTED THE ELECTRIC GUITAR! He carries the weight of a huge legacy on his shoulders, one that none of us here would understand. Just like Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Jimmy Page, even Cobain, these guys live(d) day to day with most people telling them how great they are.That will change your outlook on your place in the world.You either adjust your ego to deal with that, or you kill yourself.Thats just the way it is.It is laughable that us here on the internet who comparibly amount to nothing in affecting culture, can claim they know how these people should conduct themselves. WE are the ones who elevated them in the first place!

            Wow. A pflo post I agree with. Sort of. Scary. :D

            And last time I checked, Dunlop was still selling EVH Phase90s and Flangers....

            From picks to pedals and every accessory in between, Dunlop Manufacturing has been creating world-class gear for musicians for over 50 years. We consistently create the best selling picks and analog electronics, and carry a large line of accessories that set industry standards in their respective fields. We have a long list of legendary and modern-day superstars who all share a passion for our gear. Whether it’s pushing new innovations with our string line, or tweaking classic sounds with our vintage pedals, there is a dedication to music at the heart of everything we create.

                Sweep picking well is way harder than tapping. I did appreciate the Hot For Teacher riff. Ed probably plays well enough to do a good song or two at the Hall of Fame induction. Let's hope his sour grape of a brother doesn't ruin that one. Hot Sauce Mike would come back for it and probably his bitch Sammy unfortunately.

                    Throughout the years I have heard of times when Ed was a dick and times when he was a cool and generous guy. Most of his problems stem from alcohol abuse. With that being said, I got into EVH in 1978 because of his guitar playing. I don't know Ed personally so I really don't care what he does nor do I really know for sure what is BS and what isn't concerning things I hear and read about him on the internet. I think that most of the bizzare behavior from EVH is due to too much alcohol over a very long time.
                    You are right, but I have sevral alcoholic friiends who got on the wagon and they have no sympathy for an alcoholic. One of my friends cleaned up when his wife said it was the bottle or her. Ed chose the bottle and it's pretty sad when he has a son growing up watching daddy self-destruct. Ed is selfish and he would rather have his buzz than his friends and family. I think it's pretty sad.

                    It's good to see his old tone is back and he still can play some of the old licks but he's a shell of his former self.

                      Kurt Cobain is dead. Ed will join him soon if he doesn't quit the smokes, booze, and sticking electrical probes in his mouth and up his ass.

                        I dunno about Cobain being great.Taking a Killing Joke tune note for note and putting different lyrics to it doesn't require genius.
                        Have you seen Uli Roth's guitar? THAT looks "reinvented

                          Ed STILL seems to rely on a lot of his "gimmicks". I would like to see him do some actual shredding(with a pick) rather than tap and noodle with a fuckin sustainer gizmo. Nice to hear his play without the cheesy tone sucking harmonizer/chorus bullshit.
                          Christ , he could'nt even stay sober for the event. Shame.
                          Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!

                            What, adding an just over an extra octave so he can sound like cats fighting?

                                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.
