Ted. While I agree that, in time, our band will be most triumphant, the truth
is Wyld Stallyns will never be a super band until we have Eddie Van Halen on guitar.

have a triumphant video.

before we even have decent instruments.

instruments when we don't really even know how to play?

we NEED Eddie Van Halen.
