EVH Billboard Interview/Cover Story...

[Megaro]

Lots of good points made in this thread . . . but don't let the article get you down.
Go check out Wolfie's Instagram page and click on the videos of the Van Halens rehearsing for the tour.
I would rather listen to the music than the interviews anyhow

It's well known Mike stole Ed's secret pedal when he left VH. Hence the altered tone.

Maybe I should've said: Ed was the 'McGyver' of guitar...

I think a lot of comments are pretty harsh . Your unloading on just a man first , next he is the reason we are here . Oh so sad your expectations and sad shortcomings make you angry . Don't unload on this thread , its foolish . Firstly Mike did in fact learn from Ed how to play songs from day one , he showed him how to play the stuff , with the right inflections and all . Get over it , your interviewer tweaked you . Next Ed also taught Mike the harmonies and Ed was just a soulful learining kid teaching white bread to sound spiced . Whats so hard to understand here. Oh , I get it , you all don't , its the inflection of the interviewer to create a buzz because he can't report the sound of a shit happening , his questions are so flaccid. Wake up and check yourselves at the door , respect is a lesson here , have some . I spent time with Ed and he is not a jack ass. Oh big worldly news here . Wake the fuck up . This guy beat cancer , taught his son right , ran an empire , lost his rediciulous power grabbing wife and occasionally talks to fucked up reporters . And they are reporters that do not know their material . Fuck , shoot the guy in the head will ya . Oh , you just did . Sammy has a Tequila factory , Ok ? So no stability their , Sammy is insane drunk all day . Mike is now his sidekick . They love the tropics and FUCK if I could I would be their with them , So hey an occasional misspeak amidst Tequila . WHO WAH . Let it go , so Ed recruited his son to play with them , awesome . Next David Lee Roth has a brain ten times his prior and WHO WAH lets make some noise . Roth talks to women , Ed just plays insane guitar like Toni Iomi was welding back in his home town , its heavy metal baby . So what , Ed and Roth do not think alike . REALLY ? are you fucking kidding me ? traveled the world Roth did , he spent time in Manhattan as a paramedic to honor his dad and had a fucking awesome radio show where he was amazing , this guy is fashion forward and mentally admirable and can still rip out Panama and write songs and comment on EVERY aspect of every type of music happening NOW . Get a grip . So play the phone game with fifty people and wisper a phrase on an ear and fifty mouths later you hear its the end of the world . So sad , behave yourselves . Interview Ed yourselves and get over Motorhead saying whatever and then post it here with an audio like , THEN I will be so psyched to listen to and watch truth , until then ...... UGGGGG I just coughed up a loogie Baby , pass me my beer .

Say what you will about ed but not a one of us will ever accomplish what he did on a guitar
