No Brown M&M’s At Van Halen’s Wedding

From The Rad Report, submitted by Eddie on Tue, 06/30/2009:
When Eddie Van Halen and his fiance Janie Liszewski wed this last weekend one of the gifts presented to guests were custom printed M&M’s, among a number of other lovely items.
And as you know Eddie has a history with M&M’s. Specifically the brown ones. In 1982 the four members of Van Halen infamously destroyed the backstage of a venue when absentminded promoters failed to follow their policy of “absolutely no brown” M&M’s.
So where confectioners upheld to the same past details of Van Halen for the wedding? The bride exclusively confirmed to theradreport.com that, well, there were no brown M’s present: “We chose green and white m&ms for this occasion.”
And there you have it.

July 1st, 2009 at 1:13 pm
It’s great to see Eddie looking so happy and fit again.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Alright Ed,…you got that out of your system. Now get Wolfie in the studio and lets get some new VH jams!!! : )
July 1st, 2009 at 1:26 pm
What a nice looking couple. Best of luck!
July 1st, 2009 at 1:29 pm
That is a wonderful photo. They both look great and Eddie looks better than ever!

July 1st, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Ed,
Thank You for all the music you’ve given us. Go enjoy your beautiful new bride, honeymoon and family. Just to see you smiling and looking healthy is good enough for your true VH Freaks.
If you write new music, fantastic, if not, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR GOD GIVEN GIFT with all the Van Halen Fans!!!!
July 1st, 2009 at 2:54 pm
why cant ppl leave this guy alone??????????????? i have been a fan for 30ys and I dont care if he ever makes a cd again!
just go live your life and enjoy it.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Janie is way more hotter than Valerie ever was on her best days.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Looks like a nice couple.
Al sharpen the sticks, Dave come back from Fiji already, Wolfie (uggh) put down the XBox 360 and lets make some music.
Great studio album, with actually a sustained radio single (did i say radio…Tom Petty would be proud)on the horizon.
Followed by a more of the same Tour……
But the Album will sound awesome-thanxs to Ted.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:42 pm
I think EVH loves and thinks that no publicity is good publicity. I think the old (hot) lady is behind it. Why the hell would DLR be so quite? I have a very good feeling that VH will back with an vengence!
Mark my words: Wolfgang blows away Michael Anthony!

Great Pic!

One comment on the new Van Halen album…
I would hope with Dave’s musical eccentrics and Ed’s pressure to really bring it-
It doesn’t come out as mush.
I don’t forsee it, but it is a concern.
Back to basics would work nicely here, and it would be appropriate on many levels.
Let’s go to work.
July 1st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Haha aww cute…they look so happy. I am really glad he found someone to love…best of luck, Eddie!!! <3
July 1st, 2009 at 4:57 pm
Ive been one to complain but i gotta say…Ed looks great and so does his classy/hot wife. Ed , you have a great woman , your brother and kid are tight with you , Take your time and find yourself man…..Find your true self….Then make everyone else happy. Peace.
July 1st, 2009 at 6:17 pm
good lookin wife ..your the greatest
July 1st, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Oh. Don’t worry push.
One thing Eddie knows how to do is take his time.
July 1st, 2009 at 6:40 pm
Listenin’ to Baluchitherium now…
Ahh..Sherman.
Take It Back…I’m surprised it never hit.
July 1st, 2009 at 7:37 pm
I know ace….just being positive and hopeful,,,,,nothing else seems to work : = ]
July 1st, 2009 at 8:00 pm
Congrats Eddie. You guys look good together. I can’t wait until van halen hits the studio.
July 1st, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Uhh… Congrats Eddie.
You should think about putting up higher walls and doubling security at your place. There’s a bunch of crazed fans on this site who would pick through your garbage for anything to talk about.
This article was much to “National Enquirer/People esq…”
B-r-r-r…
Think I’ll go watch some fireworks now.
July 1st, 2009 at 9:16 pm
the m and m thing was Daves idea.
not eds.
July 1st, 2009 at 9:58 pm
With a bride that hot, Eddie isn’t going to have time for the studio…
July 2nd, 2009 at 3:37 am
Goddamn Eddie!!!
You are one lucky sonommabitch!!!
Janie is smokin’ hot, and you are lookin’ like you have a new lease on life!!! Good for you brother!! God Bless ya!!
July 2nd, 2009 at 5:41 am
Just cool to see this guy getting his life together. Stay healthy Eddie. Quite frankly I dont blame him for not making music when he has such a group of whining, bitching fans.
July 2nd, 2009 at 6:33 am
Diamond Dave is too quiet these days!!! C’mon Dave give us a break - a break in your silence!!! Your the Ringmaster of Rock N Roll, and we want to know what’s on your mind???
July 2nd, 2009 at 7:42 am
Scar, I wouldn’t be surprised if Dave has signed a contract that states he won’t say a damn word until Eddie says so if he wants to stay a member of the band. It’s a long shot, but you never know. And yeah, of course, congrats to Eddie and his Lady!
July 2nd, 2009 at 7:47 am
Congrat’s to you both!!!
You both look really happy & in love!
All the best

People relax; don’t get your knickers in a knot!!! Diamond Dave is doing just fine. King Eddie is on a honeymoon and on top of the world!!! Damn it’s so good to see that familiar smile of Eddie’s, he makes ya feel good, why because the man is a good bloke that also happens to be the greatest guitarist of all time!!! You can just feel it that he’s in a good frame of mind which is good news for all of us!!!
Big Al is giving his blessing to us all, Wolfie is enjoying his end of school holidays and Diamond Dave is plotting and planning. For those that don’t know or care about much about our Dave (mainly the Sammy lovers!), Dave always lays low when a tour is completed. You won’t hear anything from Dave until he’s ready to start the ball moving on a new album & tour!! I can gladly say now, Van Halen has a bright future ahead of them. And to think of it; back in 2004 I thought Van Halen was finished when they did that pathetic reunion tour with Sammy ‘Ronald McDonald’ Hagar!!! “Where have all the good times gone?” The good times are back and it’s called VAN HALEN!!!!
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:34 am
CA1984:
New VH album? I hope so, too. But easier said than done with these guys. I’ll believe it if and when I see it. Ed was the problem in 2004, not Sammy. Ed’s sober now, let’s see what he can do. Meanwhile Sammy Mike Joe & Chad have gotten down to business. Chickenfoot is charting on Billboard and they have a tour that is building momentum.
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Good to see him like this! make a record man, while you this happy!
July 2nd, 2009 at 2:06 pm
BOTTOM LINE IS EDDIE LOOKS GREAT AND HEALTHY AND WHEN HEE GETS BACK FROM HIS HONEYMOON TE BAND WILL GET BACK IN THE STUDIO AND PUT OUT A KICK ASS CD CUZ WITHOUT DAVE THERE IS NO MORE VAN HALEN AND EDDIE KNOWS IT….I JUST HOPE ITS AS KICK ASS AS AC/DC’S BLACK ICE NOW THATS A KICK ASS CD….GOOD LUCK ED HOPE YOUR HAPPY
July 2nd, 2009 at 2:14 pm
I hope the Chickenfoot momentum keeps building so they can create a website like CFND so all the Sammy/Mike lovers can quit bitchin’ on this site. You tired of Eddie? Go there then…

responce :
we would GLADLY bless eddie’s retirement , we would be happy to support his ride into the sunset , it would be FINE if he NEVER did anything again…..
EXCEPT - IT IS EDDIE HIMSELF WHO KEEPS STRINGING US ALONG !!
-its EDDIE who phones in a reunion tour then falls off the map
-its eddie who promises ten albums when he hasnt done anythig new for 13 years ( except porn )
- ed and al call sam in 04 and al promises a new van hagar recpord
- ed and al announce a roth-reunion and IMMEDIATELY cancel the tour for a year cause eddie needed dried out
- ed cant keep his stories straight about mike
if EDDIE would simply shut up and retire - OR - simply shut up and make a non-sh*tty record then WE WOULD STOP COMPLAINING !
July 2nd, 2009 at 7:40 pm
JOR-El,you don`t DESERVE the right to complain.If your so pissed at EDDIE`s lack of “input” recently,I suggest you follow CHFT exclusively&quit pissin&moaning here(onVHND)
“PHONES” in a reunion tour?ARE youF*CKING KIDDING ME???
I WAS THERE!!!YOU don`t know what your talkin` about!
Sounds like your mind`s already made up.Just another WANKER
who`d rather have quantity as opposed to QUALITY.=VH= is the best MUSIC EVER!!!Your the guy who sees eddie doin` great and shits on him when you see his wedding photos-your a real class act,JUST LIKE SAMMY&MIKE,GO FIGURE!!
July 2nd, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Here Here Jor-l5150…well said.
July 2nd, 2009 at 8:32 pm
WAH-WAH ED,WAH-WAH MIKE,WAH-WAH SAM,WAH-WAH WOLF,WAH-WAH ROTH,WAH-WAH all you poor bastards who do nothing but bitch&moan over the state of this band WHO WROTE
the soundtrack to your FUCKING LIVES!!!SHOW SOME FUCKING RESPECT WILL YA? FOR A CHANGE??PLEASE??SAMMY&MIKE GOT CHEATED?-FINE.FOLLOW CHFT&FUCKOFF.=VH= is about “positive party karma”always has been,always will.It`s the most optomistic time in a long time, take it or leave it.
I suggest you Sammy punks suck it dowm with a shot of”CABO” with a dash of “MAD ANTHONY”sauce
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:00 pm
I was baptised into world of=VH=XMAS`78(iwas8yrsld)
that line-up is as sacred as the BEATLES,WHO,ZEP,POLICE,CREAM,etc.(hell,evenKISSfor that matter)
oh yeah, can`t forget(OZZY) Sabbath either. SAM DID have a rep before joining=VHGR=-just no where near on the level of=VH=.
SAM couldn`t touch`m if he tried.I WAS THERE when they blew SABBOTH off the stage on they`r 10th anniversary tour!
the best career decision sam ever made was joining=VH=,HE knew it was a “cash-cow”that could easily buy him another decade of profit.-He was right.Convinced Mike to sell his “personna”via hotsauce as well.Bitch about ED sellin` shit,Just know what he puts his name on is75%guitar equipment-25%”apparel”(sneakers).
THAT is what separates ED from the GENE$IMMONE$&CABO ED won`t sell ya booze or bubblegum cards,-Neither will DAVE.
SAM&MIKE are gonna do great,as long as they have SATCH,they got a career.MEANWHILE…..Congrats ED&JANIE!!!
July 3rd, 2009 at 3:09 am
i dont consider the music and vibe since the departure of sammy in 1996 as positive, party music minus some goofy lyrics by sam.
the music is very dark angry and new agey and has been that way since human beings.
the van halen you speak of is the van halen that was around from 1974-1993
roth has his work cut out for him!
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:11 am
Easy on the Sammy and Mike slams phillster, you know it is possible to be a fan of EVH, Sammy and Mike! Your no better than those who slam EVH!! So that makes you a Wanker too!!! Now don’t get your knickers in a wad about this, go get you some fish and chips and a pint of ale and you’ll be just fine! Actually a shot of Cabo and some Mad Anthony hot sauce would go great with fish and chips!!! I say old chap, Chickenfoot Rocks!!!
July 3rd, 2009 at 11:18 am
how and when did Al become ‘an ordained minister’. It seems to me that this is one story that no one is interested in getting to the bottom of.
C’mon, give us the story someone …
I’m not too worried about Dave not talking to the press, although it would be good to hear from him. There’s too much information about everything these days, so keeping it a bit mysterious about the new music might work in VH’s favor. Remember at the time of that Rolling Stone interview when Ed was on the cover with Jimmy Page and BB King he said that the music he was coming up with was the total opposite of slam bang Van Halen. I think they’re gonna need to do something different, or else it’s just Chickensh!t …
July 3rd, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Congrats Ed, wishing you & your family joy and happiness … long live rock n roll ….
July 4th, 2009 at 6:48 am
good luck eddie.a long life to you and your new bride.
July 4th, 2009 at 9:03 am
hey phillster, you must be a brit. sorry about that. i can see why you are bitter.
July 4th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
Wish You Both the best.
July 6th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Looks like DLR wasn’t invited to the wedding. I wouldn’t hold your breath for any new material in the near future.
July 6th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Pliskin…cool name.(I take it you’re an “Escape From New York fan?” Me too…and of “John Carpenter” films)Anyway!
I really dont think that dave not being invited means anything disastrous. I think it just means that (like we’ve all known for years) that Dave & Eddie live two completely different lives and lifestyles. Sure…they may be great in the studio and on stage together, but when it comes down stepping outside the musical boundary….thats a different story! Only time will tell brother…
July 7th, 2009 at 9:10 am
Yes! I do enjoy Carpenter films. Lee Van Cleef was always a good one along with Russell.
I hope they come out with some new material too.
Something must be in the works because Dave has been VERY quiet, which is unusual.
July 9th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
congratulations 4 eddie & janie. may they’ll be a happy couple. i’m waitin 4 ur next shred ed.
July 11th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Eddie looks great, here’s to hoping for a new VH album!
I loved Chickenfoot, really good stuff, but would be overwhelmingly happy if EVH came back and blew even that out of the water
