Anyone See Eddie at NAMM, Comments??
User rktanaka not Found
Peavey booth. I was surprised to see how far downhill his health has
gone. He was skinny and his skin made him look 20 years older than he is.
I was told from a friend of mine who was also at the show that Ed's
security guards kicked some guy out of the mens restroom while he was
using the head, just so Ed could use the restroom, sad days! I was a huge
Van Halen fan but I must say I have lost respect and faith for Eddie,
though he can still draw a crowd, it's his past merits that keep the ember
glowing.
I would like to know what others who saw him at NAMM think?
Please post follow-up comments here, Thanks.

I saw EVH as well on Friday afternoon at the Peavey booth. Since he's
approximately 45 or so, looking 20 years older would put him at 65 in your
book... So you think he looks like Bob Dole (well,Mr Dole may be even a
little more senior than that)? EVH is slim, pretty solidly built and has
more hair that many 20 year olds I know.... However, he did look burned
out... Regarding the bathroom incident, hearsay to me since I wasn't there.
However, it seems strange that that would be the case. EVH's limmo was
parked at the loading dock right behind the South Hall exhibit floor --
approximately 50 yards away from thr Peavey booth.
>Van Halen fan but I must say I have lost respect and faith for Eddie,
Because he looks older? I hope you see that if you think age will not catch
up to you, you have some very sad news coming your way: you'll either watch
your body waste away with time or you'll die young. Better learn to accept
that and age gracefully, from a mental standpoint if nothing else.

I appreciate you comments about aging but to make a point, I saw the
Stones play a few weeks ago and they have at least 10 years on Eddie and
they looked and played great. The stones have managed to keep it all
together much longer that the many incarnations of Van Halen. I will
state for the record that my preference is the David Lee Roth era of VH
and I've gone to many different NAMM show over the past decade and can
remember when both Ed and VH were at the top of their game and now with
all of the changes and bickering and unwillinginess to let up on the
booze and drugs reduced Ed into a wash out mentally and physically, this
was apparent at this years show IMO.
For a comparison and contrast, Eric Johnson who is around Ed's age still
looks like he's in his late 20's to early 30's. Yes it's true we all will
get old but a good mental attitude and healthy lifestyle will help keep to
slow down time.
In conclusion I did not like Ed's appearance at the show, it seemed like
he would have rather been elsewhere. In NAMMS past he was much more
enthusiastic about coming to the shows and interacting with the people, I
did not catch that Vibe?
These are just my comments and observations I don't hate Ed, I just think
he should find his peace and balance. I wish you all happiness and good
health:)

Kanan, I too believe the Stones are great -- and BTW, I have never
personally been a fan of either VH or EVH himself. However, Keith Richard
is looking like a cadaver and has been for at least 10 years now... :)

True, EJ is indeed a living example that sleeping in formaldehyde does work.
But I'd say he's the exception, and not the rule.

I hope that includes poor old Eddie!

I seem to remember hearing something about that, he's been in and out of
rehab a lot though. His Dad dying and the hip replacement thing both seemed
to have had considerable effects on his drinking/sobriety.

I've had more than a few clients who had been completely clean and sober for
years, and then a debilitating injury caused them to start drinking or using
again (i.e., self-medication). It's very tragic indeed.

Absolutely. All those years of hard living, hard partying, etc. are coming
back to haunt him. All that abuse takes its toll on one's body, causing
premature aging of the organs and the exterior tissues (mostly the facial
area).

I think he simply doesn't have a pretty mug, but if you look closely,
you'll see colorful skin and plenty of energy. This popular notion of
him lookin' like walking death is easy to cop, until you really see
him.
The rest of the lads are in great shape too. I mean look at all the

It's the drinking that does most of the aesthetic damage. Perry liked to
drink, but by his own admission he preferred drugs.

Who cares how Eddie looked. Let's talk about the 5150 Mach II that he
and Peavey introduced!
It appears that this amp has separate eq and a better clean channel. Any
other features? They should have made the efx loop parallel.
The 5150 II is currently only available as a stack. If they've made a
combo version, I haven't seen it yet.

there. He was extremely nice. Funny you should mention the bathrooms. I
actually ended up next to him in the bathroom that day. He was at the urinal
one over. We were the only two folks in there. I couldn't help staring. He
had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. He finally looked over at me,
smiled and said "Hey". I was too awestruck to even mumble something back. I
followed him back to the Kramer booth. He was all by his lonesome. No body
guards or anything. He was even left alone during this stroll, for the most
part.
Interestingly, Neil Schon (sp?) was there that day as well. What a contrast.
He had a whole gaggle of lackeys and hanger-ons (this was in Journey's
hey-day). He was a complete asshole. I could go on, but who would care?

And it's true, the hard living HAS hurt her appearance. That, and the fact
she's a very fair-skinned redhead. And if you had the passion for guitar she
does, and the soul she does, you would have understood the comment about her '
65 strat. Again, it's WAY over your head.

The basic difference is that Joe Perry is sober, and has been for years.
Pictures of him during the "Toxic Twins" days are scary, and rare for good
reason.
One of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life is the reaction on the
faces of people who run into alcoholics they know after a couple of years of
sobriety. It's usually on the order of, "Oh my God..." or "Holy shit... you
look great".

Actually, she said it "sounds like bacon smells". And I remember interviews
during *her* drinking days when you *never* saw her smile the way she did the
other night.

I'm sure he meant it at the time, but for an alcoholic, staying sober is
harder than you think.
Last summer, a friend who works for a music mag went to photograph VH at the
PNC Arts Center in NJ. I went with him, so we stood in "pit row" at the foot
of the stage along with all the VH regulars. Before they came on, a lot of
discussion went on about whether we were getting "drunk Eddie" or "sober
Eddie".
One measure into the first song, it was apparent we were seeing "drunk
Eddie". Half of the regulars left on the spot. He's still Eddie Van Halen,
but if you've seen him play sober you know that when he's drinking, he's
basically a shadow of himself.

Didn't see him at NAMM, but his health has been poor as of late. He is
"supposedly" sober now, but I think all the excess partying him at the guys
did in the '80's has caught up with him. He did have hip replacement surgery
not that long ago, and he still smokes like a chimney... unless he's quit that
which I doubt.

It's got that big honkin' headstock though. I thought those didn't show up
on Strats 'til late '66 or so?

I don't know about EVH's hip. A couple of years ago, when I was working
in an OR, the word was that joint replacements lasted a decade, maybe
2 decades. They are a BITCH to replace a second time and could well
be impossible to do a third time. They don't like to replace joints
in young people (and by "young" they mean under 55 or so), unless
it is completely necessary.
OTOH, I haven't been in touch with that technology for a few years, and
it is a rapidly changing, BIG $$$$, field. They certainly are doing
some things they would not have done 3 years, ago. Maybe this
is one of them.

My understanding was this happened in '65, so some
'65's have the small headstock and some have the
large. Just going on recollection......

That's right, and it's not the original neck anyway. Bonnie

I was just talking to a doctor involved in one of my cases about this recently.
They call the heavy duty drinkers and smokers "sminkers". Smoking, drinking
and drugs individually can cause a lot of damage. Together, they are very
destructive. Joe does look remarkably well for all the abuse he's inflicted on
his own body.

Well, she says that she's *truly* happy for the first time in her life, and
even though marriage has been very tough for her, Michael O'Keefe is up for the
challenge. I never would have pictured those two together in a zillion years;
go figure.

The _very late_ '65s have the big headstock - I think it's only December '65
and onward. I have what is either a December '65 or probably January '66
'all original' Strat, the datable stuff is very late '65. That big headstock
cuts the price way down. I did the same thing with my early '69
Super-Reverb - got one where it was basically all original blackface except
for the silver faceplate.
Each Fender product has a different "CBS transition" where the suits screwed
it up to some degree. I think they started with the Strats. Teles are pretty
fine until '70, unless you're a '50s Tele partisan.
I tend to avoid vintage stuff unless it plays like butter an sounds great -
and even then I like to aim at the stuff which just misses the big bucks. It
cuts down on the price and the somewhat reduces the chances that it's bogus.

By the way, my '66('65) is an odd (but good) sounding Strat. Looks kind of
funny since the three color burst is a bit exaggerated in the red - they had
solved the fading red 'problem' by that point.

I've heard and read several different stories about Bonnie's beloved guitar
('ol brown strap"). I once read in the Fender magazine it was a 1962, then I
saw an interview where Jackson Browne said it was a 1967. When I saw her in
concert last August I knew it was neither. I prefer to take Bonnie's word for
it. She said on 60 Minutes last Wednesday night, "It's a 1965 Stratocaster I
bought in 1969 for $120 at 3:00 a.m. after a gig." So I guess that settles the
misunderstanding anyone may have had.
And yes, I am a hard core Raitt fan. You, on the other hand, are a gutless
poseur.

The first 4 years the hardest. After that, you don't notice it at all.
In fact you will learn to hate the smell of it . I drank like a fish
until I was about 35. Then , I just woke up and decided I was tired of
that crap. Tired of waking up feeling like a truck had hit me, tired of
getting so bombed out I'd forget where I went the night before. Or
getting in fights etc. Thats the reason I have 2 broke fingers. BUT,
once a drinker, always a drinker. I have NO interest at all in drinking
anymore, BUT, if I start by drinking a beer somewhere, I'll be tempted
to have 8 more. Once you crank me up, I'm a drinking machine. Except
now, after 8 beers I'm ready to puke. In the old days , 8 beers was just
a warmup for the real drinking. I think EVH and many others are exactly
the same way. He won't have any trouble as long as he stays away from
the drinkers for a few years. It took me four to totally flush all
wanting to drink out of my system. Also another hint to those wanting to
quit: If you have quit for a while and are tempted to go drink, go ahead
out and get shit faced. You will feel so sick, that you won't want to
smell a drink for another six months. It worked for me. After a while
you won't have to do that anymore. MK

I dunno. I thought I read an interview years ago in which she stated
that the guitar was acquired at a music store in california, implying
a daytime purchase. Counselour, I suggest you document all the available
interviews concerning Miss Raitt's statements about her guitar acquisition
and consider the evidence carefully.

if the 3am story is bullshit, it's probably to her credit. it's

I know a bullshitter when I see one bullshitting, that's all it is, buster.
the funny thing is Dan Rather who has probably has made quite an effort
to hide his accent, and then there's Bonnie, the beverly hills radcliffe girl
acting like a graduate of the Robert Zimmermann 'slur your words and they'll
think you're a cool hipster musician' school of rockstarism.

I'm sure she didn't give a shit WHY he/she was selling the guitar; she was 18
years old, saw the guitar, wanted it, and bought it. What's the big deal?
As far as printed reviews go, people are often misquoted, so I will defer to
the live interviews, if there's ever a question.
