  • Hard to believe how much of a weird ass hobo he is in this clip. We are so lucky he pulled himself together to make that riff at the end into the new VH song "As Is." I think we came very close to losing this god of the guitar.

  • The riff he is playing @4:44 is in the new VH song China Town.

  • Has anybody tried to work out the last riff he plays?

  • that last riff is part of a song laying around from years ago.....might be on the new album

  • To be able to play like this, you really need to learn the modes. Remember, Ed is a classically trained pianist. Most guitarists make the mistake of only playing back and forth across the strings... they never learn how all the patterns fit together. I used to watch these Ed videos and think, "How does he know where all the notes are? Is he doing it all by ear." No. Once you learn the modes, you know the language and this kind of playing makes sense and is easy.

  • eddie drinks aquafina...i think aquafina's stock prices just rose!

  • I have this same wolfgang, same color, I'm ready to sell it.

  • Is the guy at beginning of this video Ed's drug dealer?

  • Eddie on his worst"YouTube" video day,Is better then 99.99% of the keyboard whiners.Just remember it's because of him we are even having talking about this

  • I got drunk and played these exact same riffs and even banged some guy over the head with the headstock and nobody has ever dared to call me "Eddie"....hahahahahaha
