Maybe if Hendrix was still alive, he'd be in the same situation..............?
If that's the case... I'm sure we'll be seeing more videos of washed up guitar players with long careers... like... oh... say... Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Eric Johnson... hell, throw Billy Sheehan in there too.
It's gonna be sad to see them in the same situation with Hendrix and Van Halen. yah. pretty much.
Sorry Bill... I'm not feeling you on this one.
I think what's happened is that lately... Eddie spends more time with a bottle in his hand than a guitar. Age doesn't matter (Billy Sheehan and Eric Johnson are his age for crying out loud).
