Re: Old EVH interview...mentions Duncans
EVH should not give interviews. period.
It probably goes back to the early days with Van Haln where DLR ran the show and all Ed had to worry was getting drunk, playing guitar and turning his back to the audience so nobody copped his two hand tapping technique.
He finally gets recognition from the guitar magazines of the day and suddenly DLR isn't around to handle the limelight. Instead of being media savy like DLR and having the canned responses to tricky questions like changing endorsements, Ed just blurts out the first thing that comes into his head, he then shows his 'somewhat justified' paranoia and starts accusing people of stealing his ideas. By now the interveiwer can see where this is going and leads him on to further statements. He then later says that he gets misquoted.
His problem isn't being misquoted, it's his inability to play the media game and his paranoia fueled answers that's caused problems.
Back in the day, nobody really cared why he changed endorsements, all people needed to see was Ed with a Kramer on the back of guitar player and Kramers were the ticket to Ed's sound. But of course, if Ed was asked why he changed, off he'd go
.
I think he has finally learned his lesson (take the EBMM/ Peavey shift), and it seems like he can now use the media for his own purposes.
I wonder if he 'falls of the wagon' and ends up blabbing about Peavey
