In what might be Eddie Van Halen's first public appearances since entering rehab, the guitarist will be at Phoenix International Raceway in Arizona this weekend for NASCAR's Subway Fresh Fit 500 race. On Friday (April 20th), he'll unveil two guitars at the track -- a custom-made Fender Stratocaster and a limited-edition EVH "Frankenstein" model, which is a duplicate of the guitar he played in Van Halen's early days. Then Eddie will be back at the track on Saturday (April 21st) to act as an honorary race official, when he'll help greet the drivers as their introduced before the race begins. At the conclusion of the race, the winner will be presented with the custom Fender guitar.

Eddie said, "I am honored on behalf of EVH Brand guitars, amps, and musical products to be invited to such an exciting and fun event. I feel privileged to be working with such amazing organizations like Phoenix International Raceway, their NASCAR event, and Fender."

Phoenix International Raceway President Bryan R. Sperber said, "I'm personally delighted that Eddie Van Halen has accepted our invitation to join us as our Honorary Race Official for the Subway Fresh Fit 500. There is no one who has had the kind of impact on music that he and his band -- Van Halen -- have had. I know it will be a thrill for the drivers and fans to have Eddie at Phoenix International Raceway for the NASCAR weekend."

He got his teeth whitened. He does look a little better and I hope he can stay off the meth.

Read the leaked chapters 19 and 20 from Hagars unreleased book on the internet. I think he was drunk the first time he shaved it in front of Aerosmith's manager who Hagar wanted to manage the band but after he saw Eddie do that he didn't want to manage VH.

Well said, and I agree. He looks MUCH better. A new set of teeth, a new hairdo, and a new smile. It looks obvious to me that he is sober. There is a gleam in his eye that I haven't seen for over 10 years. Once you get away from the booze and drugs, you'll find that life itself can give you a natural high.

Way to go Eddie. You gave me a new avatar.

Btw, did any of you check out that blabbermouth thing on him that said he wasn't only drinking but some of the other guys on there said he was doing meth too?

Its easy to see he was doing meth. Look at how his teeth looked.

Yeah, plus his face was looking like Grandpa on the Munsters. That meth shit will fry your ass quick. I just hope Eddie's brain didn't suffer too much permanent damage.

I am so glad that he went into rehab!

No kidding Voyager. I think all of the fans are all happy he decided it was time to get some help.
