Another music great bites the dust. Young in these days at 65. R.I.P. Eddie

[life on mars]

He was an inventor on three patents related to guitars:

A folding prop to support a guitar in a flat position.
A tension-adjusting tailpiece.
Ornamental design for a headstock

Incredible guitar player and made his own guitar ‘Frankenstrat’.
Seen him supporting Bon Jovi in the old Arms Park.
RIP Eddie

I saw him with Van Halen supporting Black Sabbath at Hammersmith Odeon in June 1978. It was a great gig, playing tracks off their first album. I remember nothing about Sabbath and only know they were the headliners through the use of Google

But backed by a superb drummer , bassist and frontman

we had the whole of that top tier and there were indeed a lot of drunk people

The lad who fell was to the right of me . I had a look at the fall later and he's lucky to be alive . Fair play to the police and stewards , got to him straight away

Yeah he was to the right of me too sludge, I thought he would be killed then I realised there was no wall fans in that section so luckily he escaped with a broken wrist.
