He's showing he can burn like Yngwie if he wants to. Ed plays faster and tighter when he's sober. I think his loose feel he's known for and famouse for actually comes from the booze. I'm seriouse. LOL!

I've heard the same thing from another source. A lot of it I'm sure is a guy who's wasted, he's got an ego, and he doesn't remember what's been done for him.

The guy I hear is great to work for is Niel Piert of Rush. They had to change drum techs and the new one had to figure out Niel's complicated drum kit with no help or instructions. He hoped he had it right and Niel just said, you got it close enough a few things were different but I figured them out. You're talking one of the best rock drummers ever a guy who could be a real premaddona and he just goes, close enough is good enough and you're talking about a zillion pieces of drum equipment. I thought that was cool.

Sweet man. The full story was I was talking to some dudes from a company called Universal Stars in the uni bar, because they were setting up the drapes for the End of Year ball today (which is why I'm up late because I will be working at the bar for it 19:30 - 5am but it's £80+ ($160.... shit, you dudes have a shit economy ATM!!!) so I need sleep), and the dude I was talking to does concerts sometimes. He was invited to that festival and it was hilarious. Fucking hobo, Ed is. *^_^* lml Hm, why is Shoo Bop making me tingly? Lol!

Great Playing-Period.
From what I've read, Ed was sober in the late 90's.
