I am getting tired of threads devolving into people calling him a pathetic bum, crackhead, etc., who needs to be buried.
problem is, dude, he brings this on himself.
in that clip, he's doing a jam at his hot girlfriend's new fancy flower shop with all the rich Beverly Hills types there. he could have shown up looking good with some nice clothes and a good night's sleep and no cigarettes, but he looks like a homeless guy who wandered in off Melrose. he does. I mean look at the rags he's half wearing. c'mon, that's not cool and not hip. it's just shabby.
and he is playing like a crackhead in that clip, I'm sorry.
he made bad choices. he's still making bad choices. I'm sorry for the guy.
the guitar players look damaged - they've been outcasts all their lives
Eddie, in his 50's, still has a better body than probably most of you have. I want to see every member here post a shirtless pic and see if they have the definition that this cat has.
I'd also like to see anyone here show Eddie up on guitar. He's amazing, still is. Stop bitching about his appearance. So what if he doesnt want to dress GQ with 2,000 suits and clean cut hair, he's EVH, a rocker tried and true. Leave him the fuck alone.

Dude, there's players on this board that could KILL him now..
Well, I just posted a gay VH demo that sounds pretty "true to form", he can't do that anymore..also there's alot of guys here that can nail the old Ed much better than than he can..and write/play shit Ed couldn't touch these days..so you are completely %100 dead wrong...without question!
It's Denial man..plain and simple..The dude completely SUCKS ASS now..
I ragged on George Lynch for his disjointed, sloppy playing...he's a virtuoso compared to this geek..and he was always in his shadow from day one.
Yeah..he's the picture of fuggin' health...:ROTF:
Problems did this??...Jason Becker has Probs..but he' still writes music and remains upbeat..how I don't know...I wonder how he feels about his hero now.
He let everyone down including his own friends and family..
Sorry, I don't worship assholes..I bitch slap 'em..
That's exactly what he needs a bitch slap, knock some sense into that self destructive fool..who can't play his way out of a paper bag these days..
His wife left him because he refused to quit smoking after half his tongue was removed from cancer..he became a reclusive, bitter asshole..and she couldn't stand to watch it anymore..I feel bad for his kid..NOT him!!
Booze..I could name countless players who drink like fish and still shred their asses off and they worshipped this fag..
Fuggum..I'm done with this dick..he's dead ..he just doesn't know it yet..I don't give him 5 years..
what a waste of flesh and talent..
I have no loyalty to assholes..even if he was the reason why I picked up the guitar..
what a shame..what a waste..what a fool..
Ya know what..fuggit..and fuggum..after seeing this crap..that was the "fork" and it's in deep..check please..
Like him if you want..enjoy yourself..but I think he completely blows!!
Yeah, I'll leave him alone...NOT!

That's off the top of my head at 1:40 AM and there are probably a hundred more that I can't think of or am not aware of. He is far less than half the guitarist he used to be and anyone with an ounce of objectivity knows it. You're in denial, face facts.
Sorry if it hurts your feelings, life's harsh sometimes.
Oh, and Quiksilver, the 40-50% rating was generous. Ed's a pathetic shell of his former self, and anyone who hears these recent clips and denies that are either hardcore nutswingers, players with tin ears, or both.
The rest of your post doesn't merit a reply so I won't...

Dude? C'mon. There's definition (which is healthy looking with muscle tone) and then there's this. He's skinny and frail which may be from heavy drinking and drug use. Personally, I think that most folks here (yours truly included) are ranting about how he looks and plays cuz it's a big let-down to see one of your heroes sinking. We rant cuz we're upset and can't stand to see this happening. Each of us handles it in our own way. I think that's all it is.
p.s. a new EVH amp would be cool as hell, too!!
p.p.s. as long as it didn't make me sound like that video clip

You all just love to talk about him eh?
Call him a bum or drunk but you will NEVER get him out of your head.
Comments like "fuck him" or "who cares" don't count at all because people think about EVH ALL THE TIME!!!
You all care about him so much that you just CAN'T stop talking about him.

Well, I am curious to hear how this amp sounds. I would love to see Ed's new amp be more of a return to his glory days tone. I always found it ironic that a guy who had the warmest, fattest sound in rock and roll designed an amp that is favored by guys that scream about decapitating babies and fucking the remains.

Sleep. The sound doesn't collapse to riffs of early eyes either.
