Doesn't seem to have full use of his faculties here....even his body language says " I might be drunk"
My friend's brother shot the clip - flew to Vegas to see them
First Schenker and now Van Halen - the demon alcohol taking it's toll!
-
Completely drunk, but hes entitled to it, must be hard being the best guitarist of all time 8)

this sounds like one of those overdubed piss takes o.O

If only it were - film was shot by my friend Nick's younger brother
-
He's nowhere near as bad as Schenker was at that Scorpions gig last year, but he does seem a bit... shaky. He still looks healthier than he did a year ago, thank God.
Having said that, I've never seen a live clip of Ed on top form. With his style, if he's just a little bit off it sounds terrible, it seems to me. Even the shows they officially released on video/DVD sound pretty ropey.
-
Some would see it as rock'n'roll, some as terrible lack of respect for the fans. Drink after the show, guys.

Hmmm, let's compare that against a recent Nuno live solo ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHjgBVJMfSg&feature=related
The EVH solo is a disgrace.

Thanks for this!
Awesome.
The EVH.....rambling, incoherent and badly timed dont even start to cover it. That was awful.
-
:D Oh dear !
Funny but i always thought it`d be DLR that`d go off the rails, but hey how wrong could you be !
was the gig any good Johnathon ?
:D 8)
-
Let him not show up like that next month, when I come to see them in New Orleans, which is not the best place to start going clean. :shock:
-
I think this clip of him from 1994 puts it all in perspective ....

-
Yup puts it in perspective....is a shame was a great if slightly over the top ( in a good way) guitarist
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoD78foaZ4o&feature=related
think this guy is hitting more
-
One can only try to imagine what a true fan that flew around half the globe to see his idol play must feel after such an experience.
-
ripped of..I would think

It does - I take back what I said about not seeing any good live EVH clips (although I did get quite bored - not a fan of unaccompanied guitar solos).
The changing face of EVH! :lol: 1994:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULEBSxP725w&feature=related
And 1998:

I like the '94 clip where he's playing the Music Man - it seems more musical somehow, less like showing off. And I liked that short hair/beard/few extra pounds period (probably because he looked a bit like me! :wink: ). He seemed more relaxed and comfortable in those days, like he had it all together for a while.

1994:

Wow, that makes me wanna dig out my Axis and give it an extended wank.
He does look more Zen, within his inner balance, as you say Philly.
-

If you feel obliged to commit the sin of Onan, by all means go ahead. :wink:
I used to have an Axis Sport. I don't regret selling it really, but it was probably the best-made guitar I've ever owned.
-
dang...
that nuno vid was cool though, thanks ben. :)
-
Saddens me to say it, but Eddie's playing on the most recent vid was shockingly bad. The section from Eruption at the end sounded like it does when I try to play it, and I'm the most useless shred/technical/tapping player I've ever heard.
The way he was stumbling about the place, combined with the playing quality, makes it look like he was drunk. It's a real shame.
If I'd gone all the way to the USA to see that, I'd be too pissed off for words.
-
Sad to see him back on the drink it seems :( it but it's not an easy habit to kick, most people in that situation have relapses.
However I would be so pissed off if I had travelled so far to end up seeing that performance
-
I couldn't watch past the first - well I'm not even sure what to call it - tuning up without tuning?! :(
I bet EC is glad camera phones didn't exist when he was gigging flat on his back! Lets hope this was a momentary aboration by EVH, such a a waste of such a phenominal talent...
-
What about the rest of the gig, was he any better, or was it all like this?
-
he sounds like rotten egg in this clip, and he's drunk as a skunk! Hasn't he had cancer?
-

Yeah apparently he blames holding metal guitar picks in his mouth rather than smoking :roll:

Not only that but claims to have found a cure as well. Some illegal out of the country treatment that's a big secret. :roll:
-
Which would explain why he is drinking again. I know I would if I was diagnosed with the big C. He was still smoking last year. There's a saying once a smoker always a smoker. They are so hard to give up. I've been off them for nearly two weeks now and it's proper $%&#in horrible, but so is C. I hope the man beats it all. He gave us all so much. He is only human.

Don't disagree, but he was supposed to have cleaned up his act after the cancer "cure". Let's hope he doesn't go totally off the rails again.

The thing is with addictions there is so much delusion to overcome.
-
Just saw Eddie! Unbelievable! And he wasn't drunk, Cheers!
-
I think that EVH is in a pretty bad place, and has been for many years. Such a shame. Van Hagar was the perfect rock band for me - personally I could take or leave Van Roth, but I can see the attraction (I know that comment will divide MANY on this forum..!)
I saw Nuno back in the early 90's when Extreme toured the UK on the back of Pornografitti. Fantastic show, fantastic guitarist, but wasn't sure about the pre-recorded guitar backing tracks... I guess that the overall show was more important than impressing the purist guitar-geeks in the crowd.
Mark.

that man is well and truely tanked.
-
Not last night...even though he looked like a junkie!
