Oh my god...

edit: lol my guess is that it looks like he was given the wrong guitar as it's not in the right tuning.

edit 2: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=tUEXAnOTfcg

this one sounds awesome and is from the same concert!

Dear me, Jump sounded HORRIBLE!!!

Surely he can hear it's not in tune with the rest of the band FFS.

Here's a better song that's played right... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9iOt2Xr61sM

Heard on the radio that his guitar was in tune and that the synthesizer was off thus making his guitar sound off.   :wink:

god beware, on my last gig I did some hefty behind the nut bends on my tele, and didn't realise my strings jumped out of the string tree on the headstock, so high b and e were totally out of tune.

I had the feeling it added an interesting harmonic touch to my chords, but didn't bother and finished the song on 4 strings only, including the solo, which was kind of fun actually.

There are lots of other new VH clips on YouTube and they're sounding pretty good, for the most part.

And Roth is singing as well as I've ever heard him (which is... quite badly really, but he was always more of a showman than a singer).

Good to see them looking fit and healthy, anyway.

I mean come on, you would have stopped, wouldn't you? God couldn't have made those two keys work together, so why did Van Halen even try?  :lol:

in eddie's defence, it's possible that his monitor mix is just drums and guitar.

and anyway, in his opinion it's everyone ELSE that's out of tune!! :wink:

Nope, would you have? That guy is like 3 meters tall and he can play half a neck without moving his hands!  :lol:

We just talked a bit about the band and old guitars, he seemed to have a bit of a guitar fetish too so....

Wow sounds cool, I'd love to meet him. Yes I'd have asked for a jam! Just to have him play a guitar I own would leave me gobsmacked! You could tell him about bare knuckles!!  :wink:

Well Guessed Philly!

Ahhhh, the wonders of T'internet.

I was just guessing based on how tall he looks next to other band members.  I know Mike Anthony's really short, about my height, and Alex, Sammy and Roth are all taller than Ed.

And whenever you see a picture of Ed with a Strat, the body looks huge on him.

Now he is tall.  I have no idea how tall though, too tough for me to guess that one.  :wink:

After Whitesnake and the Restless Heart/Starkers In Tokyo albums he has focused on painting and by all accounts is quite successful.

He's still in contact with David Coverdale and he does guest with Whitesnake when the play in Holland but sadly no more than a song or two.

I'm a big Vandenberg fan - I'm obsessed with his original Peavey guitars as well.

That's.... bizarre.  But they play it extraordinarily well.
