I was looking forward to seeing him in the UK this summer when we come around with the Scorps�now Lem and Philthy can jam with Eddie again, and if you listen carefully i'm sure you'll hear them, so watch out!!! My thoughts go out to Eddie's family and close ones." "Fast Eddie...keep roaring, rockin' and rollin' up there as Goddamit man, your Mot�rfamily would expect nothing less!!!"
