"Breaking News" Eddie statement at Official Site & Rolling Stone

[PlexiBrown]

However, Ed's problems most likely creeped up on him and maybe a subsequent rehearsal was a disaster because of it.

I am sure Dave came in excited and with a positive attitude but it didn't take long for him to see that Ed couldn't function. We have all seen the video clips of Ed since 2004.

It's really tough being a Van Halen fan, huh?


BTW, VR will perform a Van Gaygar tune, they're doing Runaround.


What a joke this has become.

VELVET REVOLVER To Perform ROTH And HAGAR Tunes At ROCK HALL - Mar. 9, 2007
Launch Radio Networks reports: VELVET REVOLVER has lined up two songs to perform for VAN HALEN at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Monday (March 12). The band will honor both David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar by playing a song from their respective eras — for Roth, VELVET REVOLVER will play 1978's "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love", and for Hagar they'll play "Runaround" from 1991.

In addition to the performance at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, VELVET REVOLVER frontman Scott Weiland and lead guitarist Slash will induct VAN HALEN into the Rock Hall.

Hagar and original VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony will be at the ceremony, but it's unknown whether they will join VELVET REVOLVER on stage for the songs.

Roth says he backed out of the event after he was told he couldn't perform with VELVET REVOLVER. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen announced yesterday (Thursday, March 8) that he's going into rehab, and drummer Alex Van Halen will stay close to home to offer his brother whatever help he can.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which will also feature R.E.M., PATTI SMITH, THE RONETTES, and GRANDMASTER FLASH & THE FURIOUS FIVE, will air live on VH1 Classic beginning at 8:30 p.m. ET on Monday.

Most of the place smells like shit.

You live in fucking Atlanta and you're making fun of where I live? The city where I live put people on the goddamn moon. You're just pissed that our football teams have owned your asses from day one.

Speaking of smelling like shit....have you fuckers buried James Brown yet? At least people here know when to bury a poor soul like that.

Again Dave shows he's in his own league.
It's also good that Ed and Al don't talk to press. I hope Ed gots better.

I feel something good will come out of this mess.

Fuck Gaygar an Hot Sauce. They shouldn't attend the ceremony. It's Van Halen, not Other Half being inducted!

Sammy and Michael accepting Van Halen's induction into the Rock Hall of Fame is like Paul Rodgers and Tony Franklin accepting Led Zeppelin's induction into the hall of fame.

I don't have time to search for it... but didn't I tell you he needed to "admit that he has no power over alcohol, and that his life has become unmanageable"...

and then got slammed by people like Elvis about how I was sounding like a 12-step professional.

Well Elvis... looks like he's taken step 1.

Good luck, Ed...

His problem is he's always been enabled after the first few, and thats where he continuously stumbles. He can't do this himself, no matter how much he thinks he can. I think you knowwhutimean...

One dimentional? Has he ever listened to Van Halen?

A whino guitar player who has never been put in check by anyone before now, that's who.

[nightlife]

I know plenty of guitarists, many of which are in their early to mid 20's who love EVH and especially CVH.

How did I get on this page? Too much Loon.

Does anyone here actually believe spED wrote the confession on the VH site?

It sure as fuck wasn't his pub/porn mistress....

90% of the folks here were expecting Edwierd to plug in @ the Hole of Lame with Wolfgang (yeah, right) even though all signs said "Al and I won't go"..

Signs, not official statements by the on-the-ball cum dumster/GF/PR lady.

She couldn't put 2 sentences together without the words,"Fuck me, baby-Where's my money-Hold my hair while I do this line"

How fucking perfect to start off a huge reunion tour right after being inducted into the RRHoF.
Talk about fucking up a free lunch!

Isn't this the exact scenario all you naysayers wanted? Or did you want 04 with Dave and his OWN SON onstage ?

Wolfie with the iPod wasn't enough for you to realize this train should never leave the station?

22 years we wait...

And you're gonna get pissed over the lack of immediate self-satisfaction The Edward Van Whino and Son tour wouldn't have given you, to be honest?

The timing couldn't have been better for this...

Think of the further embarrassment they all have avoided.

Ed with a guitar and a bottle in his hand has been worse.

He recalled his only drink-driving arrest came after he had left an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, appalled by everyone's sob story, and stopped at a bar for a few shots.

"I always got hammered to be able to cope," he told the magazine.

"I have zero social skills and I don't know how to act, so I get drunk. And then I make a real ass out of myself."

Even his past rehab failures proves he's an arrogant asshair that never got sober to begin with.
