Eddie Van Halen is now a PENIS in my book

Eddie Van Halen's red, white and black splatter-striped "Frankenstrat" guitar is one of the Van Halen leader's true signatures. In fact, it's so closely associated with the guitarist, Van Halen had the color scheme copyrighted in 2001. Now he's suing Nike because he says the sportswear giant put a similar design on one of their Dunk Lows sneakers, Spinner reports. In the lawsuit Eddie and his ELVH Inc. accuse Nike of treading on his trademark, saying the NYX sneaker did "irreparable harm and damage" to his design. He is seeking both monetary retribution and "the impoundment and destruction of all footwear." While the sneaker does feature red, white and black stripes on the sole — a popular tri-color combination — it doesn't seem identical to Van Halen's pattern, and in response to the suit, a Nike spokesperson said, "Nike's Dunk shoe design is not substantially similar to any of the Van Halen designs, and Nike has not referenced the 'Van Halen' name or image as part of any marketing campaign or promotional material associated with the shoe." At the heart of the conflict is the fact that just last month, Eddie Van Halen released his own footwear line, EVH Shoes, adored with his Frankenstrat stripes. Van Halen's sneakers actually look suspiciously like Converse All-Stars, so unless there's an official deal in place, he could potentially find himself on the opposite end of a lawsuit soon.
I really used to LOVE this cat.

your right, that first album was epic but he is a banana
i remember being 15 at the mall when i first heard about this lp.
and a good friend was leaving the record bar with it.
i bought it went home and it did for me what the first hendrix lp done to my soul.
i remember also 2 to 5 years later EVERYBODY around here was learing eruption.
you were not shit if you could not halfway play that shit.
I still have my copy of the first VH album my little bro & I got as kids. All scrathed up from playing it a lot.
Peeps are still learning eruption, even on bass. You can ignore the secound half if you want.
wow
way kool ray thanks
Welcome Keith...
;)
First album rocks!! "Well I got to the edge...And then I looked down" After decades of bathing my brain in clasified substances I can still hear that riff and those lyrics. Trouble is, most of these guys forget to stay human and become money hungry douches. Hey Eddie - Mickey Mouse is all red, black and white too.
If Eddie wasn't a douche before, this definitely seals the deal.
i just kept on holdin on to maybe he'd just snap out of it
its over
he's a big dick wad
Take it from me, this suit has no chance under copyright or trademark laws. What a prick.
humph! I KNOW!
Glad I don't have a penis in my book...
ahahahahahah
woooo
laughed in Katrina's ear on the phone!
Wow, now I know how Valerie Bertinelli lost 100 pounds of ugly fat - she divorced Eddie.
