Originally posted by Grant I love the way Dave tells this story in CFTH - he puts it something to the effect of, "Someone was calling my name out behind me...I turn round and see this fat guy waving his hands at me" then realising it was Eddie with a few added kilos. That imagery just cracks me up!
Ed's account of this meeting - slightly different compared to Dave's version - was that Dave was fairly quiet the whole time and was indeed shocked when Ed shaked his hand and wished him well.
Ed never was fat. He gained some wieght in the late 80's. Dave is a pretty private person and It's impossible to really know the guy unless you have lived around him for awhile. I don't know anybody here who hangs with Dave on a personal level so how in the hell do we know what that guy is really like?
You know..as people get older, their faces change. I'm guessing they probably were surprised to see each other not looking like they did in '85. Plus, it is probably a total mind screw when you're focused on an album and on a stroll then run into somebody whose bridge was burned with you but now they're being mature and cool with you. You know..its almost like being teased or mentally abused if you think about it. Dave was probably thinking to himself "This shit talker is bipolar or has amnesia" after thinking "nice to see someone I knew in my formative years".

Ed actually looked better with the weight, at least he did in the mid-90s... IMO
Interesting. First time I heard that story was right around the time it happened, I was reading an interview with EVH in Rolling Stone (I believe it was Rolling Stone anyway), and the story that he related about it was exactly the same. According to Ed, Dave was apparently flabergasted by the whole thing and seemingly didn't know how to react to it.
But yeah, I think that had Dave been a wee bit more congenial or responded differently...who knows...
