    Pete,

    Yeah, I remember when he played guitar too! I just saw 9 shows in 2007 – 2008 and they were some of the best concerts I’ve ever been to! Incredible.

    For a man who supposidly hasnt done anything in so long…
    I agree with my man Dan R….than you never saw those shows.
    Eddie played and played…..unchained.

    I think a big hold up on the new record has been Ed’s hand surgery. Can’t make an album with any physical limitations that could effect the speed and quality of his playing. People forget that he has been cleared to play guitar but not to go out full bore yet

    Kimberly…

    “I am not allowed to say how I know..but there is VH coming soon”

    Is it some type of inside info where you’re sworn to secrecy,
    or a powerful gut feeling you know in your soul has merit?

    Do tell that much…

  • Pete

    DUCK…I saw 3 shows on the last VH show. You know what I mean. I won’t explain it to the sheep, but YOU know what I mean man. Any suffering fan of VH-music knows what I mean.

    The last tour KICKED F’IN ASS!! Every show I saw the audience was on their feet the whole time. 2 hours of the best music ever.

    I’ve supported both and all camps uncondionaly thru thick and thin. I have the ticket stubs to prove it.

    Kim, I hope you are right. I just hope ed and the boys aren’t feeding us all this stuff just to gain interest in the d2h or his strings or something like that.

    Well if there is “no new music” from ed then thats that!
    There is really nothing we can do.
    The classic era fans have their albums
    The vanhagar fans have their albums
    There’s really nothing more to discuss….
    Sucks, but thats life…
    Be happy with what we DO have and eat em’ and smile!

    Ed claims people just “stood around” when they played new material in 2004.Anybody see the drunk mess Ed was during that tour.The 2008-09 tour was better because of Ed’s sobriety and new music is what fans want.He always said “screw the critics” in earlier interviews.Now,it must be “screw the fans”.

    ikethebird:

    People stood around during those 2004 shows cause the yes, eddie was a mess, and plain and simply, the new material sucked…
    There was nothing to get excited about or pump your fists too.
    People stood around cause they were watching a train wreck about to happen and were in shock…

    The title of that article should’ve been: “Grumpy Old Men”.
