Even more alarming to me is that he helped Weird Al create the "Even Worse" album and played the guitar solo in "Eat It"!

i thought eddie van halen played that solo, but my grasp on history is a bit weird..

Sloopy? SLOOPY? All this time I thought it was SNOOPY! I feel like such an idiot...

don't feel bad - on top of sharing the same misunderstanding, i thought snoopy was scooby doo

edit - sLoopy! see, i'm still messing it up

Had never heard of sloopy but I knew the other one from guitar hero 2 haha
