I posted a couple weeks ago that a great friend of mine (Chris Morrison) was hired as a guitar tech on the VH tour. At the time he wasn't exactly sure what that meant and we both figured he'd be working as an assistant. Turns out he's Eddie's numero uno guy and has been spending all day, every day working one on one with Ed himself.
Sounds like we all may be in for some huge surprises with VH, mainly Ed is completely sober (so far) and is playing like a MONSTER. Chris says the Ed today and the Ed we all saw on the last tour, or even in January at NAMM, have absolutely nothing in common. I'm told Roth sounds great and the entire band (including 16 year old Wolgang) sounds killer.
His main axe is a prototype EVH that's mostly based on the Peavey Wolfgang and it's called the... Wolfgang. I guess the headstock looks similar to the Peavey except where the carved out section was, there's a piece that looks like a wolf ripped a section off of it.
They're playing 23 songs and Ed's rig consists of 5150iii's, an EVH flanger, chorus and wah, a couple Roland delays and a Lexicon PCM70. He's running 3 cabs, the middle is dry 5150 and the 2 outer cabs are wet powered by a pair of H&H amps.
I'm also told that contrary to popular belief, Ed is an extremely kind and loving guy with lot's of hugs and kisses given out to all that are close to him on a regular basis. Including Chris, who Ed has only known for a short time.
He says the show itself is completely over the top... I can't wait to see it!
