    If EVH walked into a tree he'd probably say he invented it, and sue Mother Earth for making unlicensed copies....

          The difference between Gene Simmons and EVH was Gene was smart enough to protect anything he touched from being ripped off. ED is an idiot with an ego the size of a TV preacher and GW Bush combined.

            Gene is a real exception, he is a business genius, Ed is stupid in that thing like most of the great musicians

              I like some of his music and I'd love to be able to play the guitar anything like him, but I don't know him personally so who can tell what he's like.

              I even went into Sounds Great just outside Manchester today to see one of the frankenstrats, but the buggers has sold it and the other one they had. So I had to make do with looking at some heavy relic strats instead. I didn't try one as I had my credit card with me...

                      I'm assuming they went to people who have more money than sense.
                      Who knows if they will appreciated in value, I'm assuming they will long term. But just think how many guitars the money for one of those things would buy you.

                            He made plenty of humble and self deprecating comments in that interview, and it was a very interesting interview with a lot of insight by a guy who's playing was revolutionary.

                            Anyway, even if EVH was as arrogant as Ric Flair, it wouldn't detract one bit from my enjoyment of the music.

                              I would have to agree. He's got (had) some legit gripes. For every 1 innovator, there are thousands of immitators.

                                DAMN!!! and I thought David Lee Roth was the dick head in VH. I've read more recent interviews with Eddie and he didn't seem that bad. Maybe he was just young and on drugs or something.

                                Anyway, he did revolutionize guitar playing.
