Love Eddie. We had a, rest in peace, chow u named Eddie after to he man himself.

I always thought he was sexy, sweet, & loved his parents. Great songs!

I had the great fortune to meet Eddie and his band in Ft. Wayne at the Marriot, circa 1983ish.

We were the band at the club that week, and they were in town and came into the club after their show. They got up on stage and did a set using our equipment.

Crowd went off the rails. We got hang out afterwards. Really down to earth guys.

We added ‘Shakin’ to our sets the next day.

Eddie couldn't stand Spam because he smoked weed (Eddie thought weed made people lazy; but coke evened him out and made him creative so them's was his rules); Hagar wanted to record the vocal off the track rather than live (unlike Dave); and Spam and Eddie's relationship was so acrimonious after the first album that they almost never recorded together at the same time.

Dave could have had the reunion years sooner -- and that is a goddamn shame given how much Wolfie dug out of the vaults to create "A Different Kind of Truth", which is an amazing album -- but Dave couldn't resist sticking his finger in Eddie's eye, just like Stu couldn't resist doing the same thing with Sting.

tl;dr - F Spammy and his fugly 70s schtick. Most talentless fuck to ever pick up a guitar OR a mic.
