    Edward during his "rough years" playing As Is. Glad he remembered it!

      Unholy shit, that is still painful to watch. I remember thinking it would only be a matter of days before Eddie became a permanent resident down here, the first time I saw that footage.

      Thank all that is unholy that he came back from that!

        Yeah...definitely a snapshot in time best forgotten.

        So glad that he corrected his course...

          Considering that groove turned out to be "As Is", does anybody else see the irony that the first line of that song ended up being "Yesterday I was a bum and broke..."

          I'm sure Ed wasn't broke with all of the endorsement money coming in, but he sure had the "bum" part down pat....

            "and I love you.... That's why I don't have anything new right now." Best line.

                Oh, he remembered it after he sobered.

                      Sure is fun how all of us together can piece together that craziest shit about this band. Someone should make a VAN HALEN EDITION of this....

                              That's some honesty right there. Wondering if this was part of the music he came up with around the time of "Up for Breakfast" but SH had no idea what to do with it. Definitely a fav on this record I must say.

                              In another one of those clips he says "I'm trying to think, but when I to try to think...It don't work". I wonder why? He's come a very long way.
