A drunk and uninspired Eddie Van Halen came to the arena with the band that bears his surname and reinterpreted even the group’s own hits with his sloppy, out of tune slashing, leaving the whole audience wondering how many days this once 'guitar hero' has left on planet Earth.

Coming nine years after the band last toured with front man, Fat Ass Hagar, this was less than a reunion concert, Eddie Van Halen, shirtless and heroin junky-thin at 49, totally rubbed out the guitar-hero status and the big, mainstream rock that he impressed on the fans in earlier decades.

From the missed opening keyboard chords of “Jump,” Van Halen started stumbling through what were once complex patterns of touch-notes, power chords, hammered-on arpeggios and impossible blues runs that only grew more disjointed, sloppy, unlistenable and ironic as the two-hour-plus show built. If rock music is defined by the electric guitar, then this was a sad experience beyond comprehension. His smile grew more drunken, and the packed crowd of 15,000 grew tired as it became obvious that they were witnessing a display of alcohol-soaked gray matter.

The quartet sounded worse when it dipped into it meaner street-savvy sound, as on “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” and “Ain’t Talkin About Love,” and the band seemed to tarnish these hard-rockers the most. Fat Ass Hagar still seems miscast on these songs, which need the dark Hollywood decadence of his predecessor, David Lee Roth. Fat Ass Hagar got zero audience response for his more ballad-like moments, but the energy low point came during his solo turn.

But the alcohol and shit smell pouring off guitarist Eddie Van Halen and his brother, asshole drummer Alex, was a has-been act that nobody in their right mind would want to follow. Eddie turned his own solo into a 30-minute deconstruction of his former glory. “Eruption,” which was interrupted only when his fatter than Fat Ass Hagar, 13-year old son, Wolfgang, appeared with a guitar to vomit on a chunk of melody named after the boys birthday, “3-16.”

Even through this potentially vomit inducing moment, Eddie Van Halen continued to peel off paint from his guitar with his alcohol breath, not letting a scrap of recognizable Van Halen sneak in. These sounds should have been reminding us what rock once mean, but some how now it seems as if it's gone for good.

Onya Mate !!

That was a pisser

Van Hagar was boring at its peak. I can only imagine how boring
this sub-standard version of it would be... You people that
keep going, why ???????

You want to see Ed as a shadow of his former self ???
Wait for him to get his shit together.....
I still hold out hope he can regain his crown.....

It's possible Panamark, but, he has to totally clean up his act...

[Panamark]

I agree ELVIS.

The only positive is thats he's attempting to play again.
Lets hope it sets off a divine chain reaction.

[ELVIS]

I'm truly hoping for the best...

Edward was larger than life when we were kids trying to play a guitar...

Time will tell...
