EDDIE VH to sponsor and "maybe" play benefit show OCT 14th

[James in New York]

VELVET REVOLVER, POISON guitarist C.C. Deville and RHINO BUCKET are among the artists that will reportedly perform at a benefit show on October 14 at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, CA. The the concert/fundraiser is being held for LA County Sheriff's Department deputy Jim Mulay (photo), who was critically injured while on duty during the attempted apprehension of an armed bank robbery suspect on August 28, 2006, in the city of Malibu. Mulay suffered a crushed spine, broken back and pelvis, and multiple broken ribs after the suspect intentionally rammed his car into Mulay's motorcycle, according to Sheriff's officials. Jim is improving daily, but is facing an extremely lengthy recovery and rehabilitation. In addition to the concert/fundraiser, a sheriff's relief fund has also been established for the continuing needs of Jim and his family during his lengthy battle to recover.

Deputy John Maio from the LA County Sheriff's Department told BLABBERMOUTH.NET, "We are also having a raffle during the show in which numerous artists/sports figures and restaurants have donated to.

Ted Nugent and Eddie Van Halen are both sponsoring this event and have donated autographed guitars for the event.

There is a chance Eddie may even play but it is NOT confirmed. He is a big sponsor of our event along with Ted Nugent."

Other musicians expected to perform at the concert include STARBANGERS (an all-star house band featuring Eric Dover [JELLYFISH, SLASH], Brian Tichy [BILLY IDOL], Derek Sherinian [BILLY IDOL], and Stefan Adika [GILBY CLARKE]), Terri Nunn (BERLIN), and Dilana ("Rock Star: Supernova").

That's cool of Eddie to sponsor this for the guy!

And the Starfuckers are playing, so maybe EVH will jump on stage and join em'!

Actually, I'd rather see him jam with Velvet Revolver...

[VAREB]

I'd like to see Ed jump on a plane with Ted and get Nugentized for a while. Eating wild game and living off the land would probably do Ed some good.

[Otis5150]

Hey, Ted and Sam are tight. Maybe....naaaaaaahhhhhhh......

Sammy has a show in L.A. on Oct.20 I wonder what the chances of Ed & Al showing up to jam?? I mean Eddie has been everyplace of late.

[ED-A-HOLIC]

I hope he does!

It would be great to see more of Eddie having a good time.

I'd say the odds are about zero to zero minus zero.

Fuck, I was told about this show and was invited to go but I have no funds for a plane ticket....fuck! I had no idea Eddie was a part of this......FUCK!

[James in New York]

Eddie is all over the place this year, great news.

After all the silence, he must be feeling much better.

Now for some new music

Ed joining Sam and Mike onstage? Dude, what an outrageous suggestion. See, they have been USING the sacred VH name to make money, instead of waiting around and keeping quiet until EVH is done releasing porn movies!

It'd be kewl to watch Edward jam with anybody at this point. It'd be even kewler if said jam were to show up on dvd at some point in time.

I agree, Edward needs to spend some time with the Nuge.
