EVH: Billboard Mag Cover Story Sneak Peek Via VHND

The phrase "He basically played on bass what Eddie would tell him" is the key part to me. I have no doubt the video camera aspect is at the very least embellished, if not blatantly lied by EVH, but obviously Sam knows at some level what Ed was talking about....
But I agree with you WARF, there was no reason to bash Mike like that, especially since Mike has always stayed above the fray of this bickering, and I have no problem with Sam defending him....
But his book confirms that maybe he was defending Mike just a bit too much, and that at least some of what EVH was saying had some truth to it....
Also if Ed spent his alone time drunk as a skunk and all jacked up on coke writing these master pieces... I'm sure once he emerged from his cave he immediately sobered up and I'm confident that he retained great clarity of all his band interaction memories. I can see this whole matter getting sorted out with Ed...
Ed: I swear Mike had to video me showing him how to play every note!!
Al: When did this happen?
Ed: Right before we released 1984... that fucker was following me around with a camera for hours asking me how to play!
Al: Ed that wasn't Mike... that was the video crew and we were making the Jump video...
Ed: Huh?"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

Well included in the same interview Ed claims he did all his partying alone locked in his room which is where he wrote all this material... So in order for Mike to be able to perform these new songs... someone might have to show him what was produced.

Can you imagine what would happen if someone sent Ed a link to this thread? Now I'm not suggesting anyone should do it - I'm just saying it would be hilarious. But don't do it. That wouldn't be nice.
Screw you, Ed. Ya know, just in case.American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.

If you read Sammy's shitty book, he blatantly contradicts himself by saying that Eddie and Alex both rejected songs that Mikey brought to the table, and then he writes that Mikey never wrote a note of music for Van Halen. Which one is it, Spammy? The only reason why that article went viral in the first place is because you are such a fucking attention whore and you think it's all about you. You really are the psycho ex-girlfriend of Van Halen.I really love you baby, I love what you've got
Let's get together we can, Get hotComment
