Read Sammy's book. Eddie was whacked out of his mind on that tour.

ed got into a fight with valerie's brother backstage after the show. both sammy and val talk about how bad ed was at this show. Ed was abusing drugs and alcohol so bad.

Eddie was road testin ghr new Charvel (Fender) guitars and this was his way of showing he was done with Ernie Ball. I was at the Clecveland show and he did the same thing. Smashed a green EB. He was playing several red/wht/blk striped strats that night but none had the logo on the headstock.

More likely as a result of being "forced" to be on stage, working for his WAY overpriced tickets charge, when he had more bottles to wipe out back stage.

All you little consumer zombie shits that want EVH to act and play like he did when he was 25.. go f youselves. fing whores. sheesh.. How about making the man feel ok about himself no matter what he does huh? That is EVH there.. one of the greatest musicians that ever lived. and what does he get? he's drunk, he's embarassing blah blah blah... pffff

@codyjt5150 thats rite....I agree...I wish everyone would quit hating on him and let hm be....and appreciate what he has done for all of us

Very sad. This is not the Eddie Van Halen

all of us older people knew back in the 70s to 90s. It is like he has given up on everything. He might be back now. That is still up for debate.

This was back in 2004, this is now 2012, Look at EVH now, he looks SO much healthier and is playing better than ever!!

@Gravelgutband he's sober now. look at the cafe wha? concert that happened last week with VH, it was fucking incredible

[codyjt5150]

@Gravelgutband i think he's sober now, cleaned up. look at the cafe wha? concert that VH did last week, that was fucking incredible compared to this.

this is why i don't do drugs or drink, Ed was fucking awesome in the 70's and 80's. too bad i was born in 1994, what a fucking terrible decade this has been, the 90's were fine since i was a little kid, but now. yea, what the fuck is this Rebecca Black shit, that's how terrible the music business is now. I read most of Hagar's Book "Red" and I completely understand now about this band. If he didn't abuse alcohol so damn much, he wouldn't have gotten that tongue cancer. and lost most his talent

Eddie was a fucked up ego maniac, idk if he still is, because im too busy listening to Chickenfoot.
