That is correct ! I was INVITED !! The press was there to publicize the event.

Divorce. Cancer. Band issues. Pressure. Music industry changing. Health issues with his bad hips. And who knows what else. I always stood by EVH. He was just a human like the rest of us and is allowed to go through whatever demons were facing him. Unfortunately with his level of fame it became everyone’s business and that is exactly why they stay (or stayed) so quiet. Long live the spirit of EVH and his gift that he shared with us all.

Eddie... The more I see of him since he passed, the more I realise how amazing a person he was for keeping it together whilst he was suffering. I feel, at least for me and (and maybe millions of other people out there feel the same as I don't think I'm unique in this).., like I knew him. His personality, for example in this interview, is so genuine and approachable. There just didn't seem to be any pretense about him.

So thankful I met Eddie. He was a kind hearted guy and the reason I play guitar today. My life wouldn't have been as fun without his music. Thanks for the inspiration.

You could tell Eddie wanted out of there.

Awe.. I think he sweet.. he just wanted to be left alone. The guy went though hell man. I'm grateful for his beautiful music. Cancer sucks. Poor thing. Love ya Ed

Now two legends gone! Sorry to hear about Meatloaf….however, glad we have videos like these to see them in happy times on a personal level.

Ed should've ignored that air-headed interviewer. Long live our hero.

R.i.p Eddie. A true legend

Eddie was clearly going through a lot so yes, he probably wasn't looking his sharpest but we all have such days. The interviewer came off a bit airheaded by asking ridiculous questions in rather poor taste but Eddie owned her at the end when he asked her about having a man to play with. We love you Eddie.

He was his own package, did not try to look or be like anyone but himself. I think, it's what makes him famous and so unique. His life story is. great one...that all if not many will relate to. A familia's that started off as a poor immigrant in the US, and his parents used their God-given talent and raised them the same to make a living of it. It's hard for musicians to survive, given the unpredictability of getting gigs, and slowly get recognition, and staying musically and creatively popular, which he and the band worked so hard for, until he and band became Rock Stars. His life was his music, but it is a real struggle to keep staying up there forever...sadly, he still struggled till the end. Thank you for our impish smile and the happiness to this world EVH! Your music will live on!!! RIP EVH We love you!

People going on about his looks. Such a drag. What about his quick wit? You can clearly still tell the journalist is talking to a exceptional person. He was still fast as hell, genuinely and exceptionally kind and a bad boy all in one minute while being interrupted getting from a flagpole to a golf cart. That's more than an average episode reality tv with Ozzy.

Eddie's health got much worse after this. He was on death's doorstep for a few years after this. His cancer has returned a few times, plus his battle with drug and alcohol addiction. He's clean now in 2019 and actually looks pretty good considering what he's been through.
