Yep, Eddie has cleaned up. Even got new teefers. Maybe the Fender deal is helping keep him focused.

Keith is a mess. Really dig his playing though. THE rhythmn guitar rock man. I never understood the dropping the E string bit though.

I figure if drugs haven’t killed Keef by now, they never will.

Perhaps it’s really true that cockroaches and Keith Richards would survive a nuclear attack.

What's the deal with those Eddie Van Halen Frankenstein Guitars they are selling at Guitar Center?

$25,000 for a EVH guitar copy? WTF?

He plays a lot in open G tuning (DGDGBD). In that tuning the lowest string (the E string you speak of) is tuned to D. The next string (the A string) is tuned down to G.

By removing the E (now D) string, you have the root (G) as the lowest note.
