WoW! What a thread!
I've just finished reading 7 pages of reviews and I'm speechless.
I'm an EVH fan from way back when. I remember, back in '78, wearing out the grooves on my VH1 album (remember those things?) trying to cop eruption licks when I was only 13 years old. Lemme tell ya ... any kid who could cop those licks back in '78 got mucho respect from the locals.
Anyway, after reading about Eddie falling all over the place, throwing guitars at people, and being totally F'd up to the point of not even being able to play, I have to agree with Darrell .... the media would have had a field day with it.
It HAS to make you wonder.
Regardless, one thing is for sure ... EVH was, is, and always will be an inspiration for me dispite the bad reviews.
On an unrelated note ... why is Eddie STILL playing those POS guitars? Uh ... I mean those Wolfgang guitars? Is he still under contract? I think if I were under contract to play that guitar I might throw a few of em myself.
(just kidding)
