A seven part series of Edward Van Halen's incredibly drunken and embarrassing performance at the 2003 NAMM Expo. Not only did he get on stage two and one half hours late, he spent all that time drinking red wine in the Peavey NAMM booth angrily lambasting the Peavey ownership and executive staff about how fucked up EVERYONE else was, except him. Ive seen some pretty ugly displays of egotistical drunken anger and animosity, both onstage and off, but this was one of the all time worst displays of a Rock Star Behaving Badly, as Edward had NO consideration for his endorsement deal at that time, but worst of all, he had NO consideration or regard for his fans. He was in such bad shape, that when I finally shook his hand after the performance, I looked at his almost dead skin, matted hair and yellow teeth and I really thought he was going to die within the year. The fact that he has made it this far proves that the human body is an incredibly resistant machine. Its a shame, since Edwards late father was also a life-long alcoholic. I hope, pray - and I am not a religious guy - that Edward gets his act together one day and puts out new music soon, and on a consistent basis.
