What did Dave mean by that?

Maybe that Ed can't accept his success? Don't know exactly. My guess, Ed WAS a creative genius. Now, it's debatable. My vote goes to drunken megalomaniac.......

there are people who can't live fun...they only feel "right" when they fell miserable. they live from suffering. like dave said in reunion blues...ed turns into his "my tragic life"-routine...

Ed is a self centered moron who has forgotten what it's like to be hungry.
He's also a huge asshole designed for anal with Spam Hagar.

As much as we miss Classic Van Halen, don't you think he does too?

Don't you think that all of these guys look in the mirror now and then and wish they had that youth and vitality again. The babes... the fans... the fun... the excitement... the reward of simply creating the music they were putting out back then. Damn, guys, all we lost was a band...that was his life. Then you have to factor in the regrets.

Well if this was the case, then why wouldn't he just call up Roth and get the classic show running again? I seriously doubt Eddie is having regrets. That is what sucks about the whole situarion!

Eddie needs to wake up quickly before his age gets the best of him. I guess there are signs that it already has......Sammy.

Dave did not say that Ed hadn't enjoyed ten minutes of his life...he said he had not enjoyed ten minutes of his success.

Why? See my previous post about survivor syndrome.

People feel guilty for having when others have not. What good does it do to have so much when there is so little (with meaning) that you can do with it. Then flip. You can give so much to so many, and it doesn't make a bit of difference so it was all for naught.

Best thing is just not to get caught up in it when you are like that. Ed got caught up in it.
