Coverdale adresses the singing for VH rumour...

[Diamondjimi]

Guitar International: Way back, there were rumors of you playing with Eddie Van Halen. Can you elaborate what happened and how they got out of hand?

David Coverdale: Someone on the inside told me and I'm not sure how true it is, that the VAN HALEN camp floated the idea on the Internet. I was so angry about that, as I was semi-retired at the time. I like being my own boss! I haven't spoken to Eddie since he came up to my room in London when I was working with Pagey [Jimmy Page]. He knocked at the hotel door and asked if Jimmy was here. [Laughing] He got on his knees in front of Jimmy Page, asking him how he played this thing and how he played that thing. It was very sweet. He also went straight to my fucking minibar at 10:00 a.m., too!

I don't know who originated the rumor, but I know who shot it down.

What the fuck is with Ed and the drunken begging?

Wasn't there a story about him doing the shitface stumble backstage at an Alice In Chains show begging to go onstage with them?

Plus the charming tale of him pleading to jam with Nirvana and ending up using racist and homophobic slurs against Pat Smear.

I think it was a Nirvana show...he might have done the same thing at an AIC show, but the story I read was he showed up shitfaced backstage at a Nirvana show, asked if he could borrow one of (referring to Pat Smear) "the Mexicans" guitars and jam with the band. Cobain, disgusted, told Eddie he could go onstage after Nirvanas encore and play Eruption by himself.
