    When he was young he used to do it all the time with a smile! What I hear now Eddie does not want anything to do with fans or people in general and is a hermit!

    When I met Eddie in 91 and 93 he was happy to sign everything....in fact after we thanked him and left he ran down the hall after us and gave us each one of his guitar picks. Pretty cool if you ask me.
    Pick up the fucking phone Eddie and call someone!!

    Note- Be careful how you answer this... Spirit of VH will be here soon to critique our answers...

    Now as for the ?... I wouldn't know if he likes to sign autographs or not but I do know he has some damn big feet! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

    A TRUE Van Halen fan would NEVER talk about Ed's feet like that.

    stevei, did you ever think that maybe he doesn't feel like signing sometimes. Think about this for a sec- back in the day he was at his peak in his career and then got married and later in 91' he became a father. Stuff to be very happy about. Then he quit drinking. Again, Happy. But, a lot of stuff has happend lately where he might be depressed. I'm sure he has heard some rumours that fans are mad about all the quietness lately. I'm sure he still enjoys talking with fans and especially you, but, he has bad days too and maybe whoever you heard that from must have been there on one of those days. He doesn't owe anyone an autograph. Besides, just meeting him would be cool enough. Don't be too tough on him. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

    When you have signed 1,000,000,000 or more autographs in your life, there must be some days when you don't wanna sign anything, he signed autographs at the golf tournament.

    WOLFGANG did the IMPOSSIBLE, he brought back VAN HALEN, DEAL WITH IT.

    I'm just guessing here...

    But I think he (like other celebrities) is tired of people selling them for profit. I would almost bet that's the number one reason.

    Second, too many people have tried to pass off bad guitars as "Eddie" owned or played. A lot of people speculate that he won't sign that stuff (pickguards, necks, bodies, cases...) because of his deal with Peavy or previously with Music Man and Kramer, but I think it just pisses him off that

    A. people are making huge profits of his autograph

    b. true fans get ripped off when they buy what they think is an Eddie guitar and all they get is a peice of shit that Eddie never played, owned, or even touched.

    You know, some of these big star now will only sign autographs if they personalize them. Harder to sell something made out to "James" or "Zack" than a generic signature.

    You hit the nail on the head. He doesn't sign guitars or parts. He doesn't want VH fans spending an extra 2g's on a guitar just because he signed it. He wouldn't even sign some of the Peavy Wolfgang pamphlets because he hated the layout or picture. But he did sign plenty of other memoribilia at the Golf Tournament.
