I remember being very surprised when Rudy Leiren disappeared as ED'S guitar tech in the transition between the DLR and Hagar eras....I think he was replaced by Zeke Clark if I remember correctly....The reason I was surprised was because I knew that Rudy had been with Ed since before the band was even signed to Warner Bros...I hadn't realized that the management had jettisoned Neil as well...I think they made a big mistake there to be honest because he had a track record of capturing some really dynamic live action shots & VH even without Dave were very much a visually dynamic band.

Zeke was my neighbor in Sherman Oaks . We lived on Mammoth 2 miles from Ed's place on Coldwater Canyon . Ed or Sammy would come to Zeke's and matter fact no telling who might show up and if they didn't their guitars would so I got to play EVH's,Sammy's, Michael Schenkers and CC Devilles guitars.

@@walterevans2118 yes sir that would be correct He was also a tech for Prince and he had access to Prince's I think it's called the Blue Angle guitar which sold in auction for 563,000 .

There is video interview footage of Jim Dandy where he said, early on, Roth shot 8mm video of him performing and his original moves and look were Jim Dandy. When he made the move to spandex and the big boots, that was Jim Dandy's look back when they were on ABC In Concert. Just like when Ed & Dave saw The Dils guitarist with black Electrical tape on a white Les Paul and Ed showed up with a white strat with black Electrical tape before he painted the Boogie body.

Even the other Seattle big band guys were 'distant' and seemed to demand that you EARN their attention because they were just too cool for school. The Seattle grunge guys were 1,000 times more pretentious than any of the 80's hair metal guys.

My only real picture story was when Kiss came to town and stayed at the designated hotel across from the venue and my best friend worked there. This was late 70s. He took some pictures of KISS at the pool sunning from a window and tried to sell them to the magazines. Of course pre internet so we bought the mags and cold called them. The answer was universal. NO. Seems this was common, no makeup pics were out there but they were told if they ran any of them they would lose any contact with the band and get no exclusives, covers.
