Another Recent Picture of Ed :)

**kat** · 05.05.01, 01:06 AM

This comes from the latest Entertainment Weekly magazine. It appears to be taken on 14 March...same day as the other "not so flattering" one.

I think this one looks much better. Goo thanks for the upload. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

P.S. The picture in the magazine looks better than the scan...

Just thought I'd add the other one in this post for comparison...

That pic is 100x better than the first one we saw! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

It does, doesn't it??? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I just went back and re-posted the 1st picture...look at the difference in his skin tone.

The only thing that's really different to me is that he's starting to look like he's getting older. More like a wiser respected uncle type! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I don't think he really looked that happy around the time of 3 to be honest but he sure looks like he's having a good time in those pictures.

The pics look good. You could tell the first one was just a bad picture of Ed. Bad lighting, expression, etc.

What I want to know is what benefit was this for?? Where was it held? and Why didn't we hear about it??

Peace!

I must say that 2nd photo of Ed is much better than the first. Nice to see him smiling again. Looks like he was having a great time.

Thanks for posting the new pic, it looks so much better than the first one. At least he's smiling in both of them. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Big difference there. He looks lke he did on the 3 tour, just with short hair. Amazing what a lousy camera angle and washed out skin tones can do.

There's the Ed we all know. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

This was some benefit at Wolfie's school if I'm not mistaken. Val told Regis that they didn't get it on video though. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Val says Ed played guitar and Wolfie played drums, causing her to tear up. Look out, Alex! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Much much better! Ed still has that goofy smile on that we all know and love. That's a good sign. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Out.

with that goofy smile of ed's, he will always be cool to me, regardless of his current weight. long live the mighty ed van halen.

**Brett** · 05.05.01, 11:40 AM

He looks fine in the first pic. He's just aging man, he's 46 and he has been very hard on his body. We can't all expect him to be 25 forever. He looks happy, and he's getting well, the only things I care about. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

BTW, his hair is short but it appears he is growing it out. Much longer than in that Peavey promo pic.

I know everyone must feel better after seeing this picture...and hearing Val speak positively regarding Ed's health...

I know I feel entirely positive. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
