EVH and his funny comments about Peavey and Fender

**h*bunter** · 04.24.07, 05:13 AM

I haven't taken the time to sort through all the comments made on the new Fender $30K Frankenstrat, so piss off....

Anyways...

I find it funny how EVH says that finally a guitar company made him what he wanted. That being a single humbucking guitar. Well, didn't they just make him what he already had? SO technically, they made him shit all.

As far as the Peavey two humbucking guitar, if he was in the design/build process, why did EVH just tell him what he wanted? (same with EBMM I suppose).

I know a persons ideas change with time and experimentation, but by knocking Peavey and Ernie Ball, hew was taking a shot as his incompetence as well.

Buh for now.

He changes his mind on alot of things (Did'nt you know that!!!!!)

He said bassicly the same thing about Peavey and Ernie ball, basiclly.

He said Gary was his soulmate and was the perfect vocalist at the time.

He said the VH3 incarnation was the "Final Frontier"

Hes alot over the years. The list goes on.......

none of us have ever changed our minds at the time I am sure that is how he felt

**thebrownboys** · 04.24.07, 06:40 AM

What else could he say??

"Yeah, the last guitar was better but wtf"
"Gary..he's okay, hopefully the next singer will be better"

Single coil pickups are noisy. A humbucker is basically two single single coils side by side wired out of phase. This configuration cancels noise or cyclical hum. Hence, the name humbucker. It bucks hum.

these pickups were designed to buck the hum

they are sometimes called humcancelling pickups

Hey didn't Kramer make guitars for him with 1 pickup?

**Bullwinkle** · 04.24.07, 10:08 AM

Humbucking pickups were invented by Seth Lover.

I remember reading comments in Guitar World (or one of the other guitar magazines) from Hartley Peavey at the time the Wolfgang was released.
He said something along the lines of: "we wanted to do this, but Eddie wanted to do that". Not a direct quote of course, but that's the gist of it.
So, maybe Edward's never been totally happy with his previous guitar makers.

How about: "Why don't you corporate fucks piss off, I'm thru being your poster child."
OR
"Fuck You WB!! Gary sings his ass off and the next album will be even better. It's all about the fucking mighty dollar for you guys. So were forming our own label called VHB... BITCHES!

**Ashe** · 04.24.07, 10:45 AM

They've all said wacky stuff. I remember Sammy saying "Learning to See" was the best thing he's ever done in Van Halen. Yeah, right...

The thing is, when you're out promoting something, of course you're going to say its the best thing since sliced bread.

I've always wondered why a band of VH's stature and popularity has never started their own label. I'm sure Gary's leaving was probably more of a corporate business decision than a personal one. Too bad, I would've liked to have heard atleast one more album and tour from them.

Stupid just the same though

I have an EBMM & 2 EVH Wolfgang specials. As much as I love Ed's tone, music, etc., etc., I bought 'em because they are 3 of the finest made guitars I've ever played

I thought that relationship ending was due to Ed's taking too much artistic " input" with a certian .........
