5 star backstagers

[canadian halen]

Any of you 5 star backstagers (who are guitar players) get to pick up or even play EDs own guitar during soundcheck?is there a difference from his to the production? Tell we need to know...Thanx gang...love u all...woooooo!:D

Ha!!! Play one of Eddie's guitars - Yeah right... The 5-star does not include a soundcheck. If you're lucky enough to catch one, it's a bonus. You do, however, get 10% off of non-music purchases at the VH.com store!

WHAT?! I did the 5 star in Toronto and got real close to Eddie's guitars and Wolf's basses, like a foot away. There is no way in hell I would have tried to pick one up and play it, and I'm a guitar player. It would be very disrespectful to do that...not a cool thing to do. Those are Eddie's personal belongings and he has them set up exactly as he wants them. You don't go grabbing stuff like that and start wanking away.

You should have put A note on them for Ed stating ( HEY EDDIE !! toss these mass produced piles of shit away and start playing your original frankie and 5150 Kramer so you play better on some songs !!) At least that's what I would have done if nobody was looking !!

I had a 5 Star package for the Minneapolis show. I was pretty disappointed with the pre show activities and backstage tour, but was very happy with my 5 row center seat!!!

is there truth to the story that the dressing rooms are in totaly opposite areas of the arena?

[Prothro]

I think Ed's guitars have their own personal bodyguards.

btw...I don't even touch the guitars of MY guitar player without asking for permission...and we play together for almost 25 years...

HOLD ON THERE!...AINT TALKIN BOUT THIEVIN....thats the KINGS Axe......besides.. what would you do with it ....its no good to anybody else...Has ED ever OFFERED any of you guitar playing backstagers to hold or better yet play any of his personal....and can you compare that to the production made!..."HEY YOU GET BACK HERE WITH THAT GUITAR!"

As a fellow guitar player I can say you hit the nail on the head. It is definately not cool to touch someone elses guitar without asking. I'm a Tele player and have quite a bit of money invested so no one touches my guitars. A few of my friends I won't even let them look at them.

Like Nigel? LOL

How about this one?

No, no don't touch it!

Can I look at it?

No, no... that's enough. On to the next one.

I suppose it depends on the layout of the arena, but in Charlotte they were all along the same hallway.

Yes, it's true each band member has their own dressing room, which I thought was very weired.

Weird that grown men would want to get dressed in privacy?
