That lead work in Dirty Movies is exceptional .
Eddies rhythm work is ALWAYS amazing.True. But the rhythm work is even better.
He's prolly busy bustin' out a couple three cylinders of those white powdered-sugar doughnuts and a cherry Coke® right about now.Wish he'd bust out Ed's amp collection for us all to see.

I forgot where I read the below but I busted out laughing when I read it because I can picture Michael Anthony freaking out lol.I've always loved that Ed couldn't have cared less about the "sanctity" of instruments. To him they were simply tools to get a job done. If the tool wasn't suited for the job, he'd change it until it was. Nothing was sacred, no change was too extreme.
Definitely throws up a stark contrast against those dudes on vintage guitar forums arguing about whether or not a guitar is worth having if it doesn't have exactly the right kind of period-correct pickguard screws or whatever.
Eddie was never terribly concerned with the aesthetics of his guitars beyond his trademark stripes. Wear and tear was a good thing. As beautiful as his EBMM sigs were, he just used and abused them. Michael Anthony even recounted once that Ed was frustrated that Mike had a bass that looked too beautiful - figured wood, nice finish, no wear. So he grabbed it from Mike and made gouges in the front of it with a screwdriver. Mike was pissed, but the damage was done.
Back in the day, this is something that made EVH who he was. It was an awkward learning curve, but he never really adhered to conventional... anything, if he could help it.
His net worth is $20mThat kid is rolling in the cash unless Valerie took it
