The LP on the right in my post above, I've had for 40 years, and I remember well the first time I played it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ole Dollar Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Went to their first concert tour in Philly, what a great show for the first album. Those first few albums and concerts are something I will always remember. Also am a huge fan of the Red Rocker and enjoyed them playing together. I was working floor security at the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis when Valarie B showed up and I escorted her to the mixing console and watched part of the show with her - she did not like Eddie and Sammy on the rigging playing together, it was swinging around considerably. I did worry about Eddie as in later shows he was smoking and had a cigarette holder on the guitar neck. Always had a cigarette burning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the upside, he was relatively young at 65. Lung cancer, but from what? Cig's, Pot, Jet Fuel Fumes, 2nd Hand Smoke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also thought that holding metal guitar picks in his mouth for years contributed to it. A good friend's uncle smoked no-filter Pal Mal's since WW-2. He came down with throat cancer. After they removed his larynx (with no help from the VA) and a lot of the muscles from his neck, he had to eat from a gastric tube straight through his torso to his stomach. He would get mad at it when it clogged motioning that he wanted to punch the feeding syringe. RIP- Dewey Thomas: Merchant Marine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading your reply and searched the web and found a couple of consistent posts.... seems it started as cancer on the tongue (metal picks???) that spread to the throat/esophagus. What kind of metal is used for a guitar pick? I thought they were all plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass and copper but Dr's attributed his cancer to smoking. It's a terrible loss of an incredibly talented artist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Couple days late, RIP EVH. Not a huge VH fan, but did really enjoy alot of their music. The dude could shred and if wasn't for him and Alex, we may not of had one of my favorite bands.
