Eddie Van Halen's "The Gathering" Party - w/ Porn Stars?

"The Gathering" is a party held by rock music ledged Edward Van Halen in celebration of the new adult film release from Eddie's friend Michael Ninn's porn flick...I mean "adult film" entitled "Sacred Sin". Eddie Van Halen hosted the party at his house as well as offered his abode as the place where the adult film was...well...filmed. (I hope he cleaned all the apolstry after the shooting was done for the party...and come to think of it...again after the party).

Eddie's party was invite-only (of course) of which many were Porn Stars...I mean "adult industry" folk, along with music industry hub-bub's, and rumored actors Owen Wilson, Shannon Elizabeth, and James Woods. What's up with the convergence of Rock and Porn these days? I guess it seems a natural fit when you think about it.

The house was lit with hundreds of candles, littered with beautiful wet women who just got out of the pool, open bar areas, and cocktail waitresses passing out g-string panties and shots of tequila, and to top it off...circus acrobats hanging from the ceiling doing flips and tricks all while in scantily clad attire. Now THAT sounds like a heck of a party! And that's just the beginning...

Eddie had a stage set up in the backyard where he played a 40 minute set with Eric Dover of Jellyfish and Slash's Snakepit along with former Motley Crue singer John Corabi. This was one of Eddie's only performances since Van Halen's last tour in 2004. I wish I had an invite!

CHECK OUT THIS SET LIST!
1.) Eruption
2.) Cathedral
3.) Rebel Yell
4.) Jump
5.) Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
6.) You Really Got Me
7.) Panama
*.) And a Short Jam to end it

It was said that EVH played excellent...flying scissor kicks and all! It was also mentioned by party goers that Eddie was a polite, fun, and gracious host the entire evening with his outrageous party going down in Hollywood history. In fact, this party was so insane that we will be able to see footage from the party on Pay Per View!

Well, I guess there is life after Van Halen III w/ Gary Cherone! Go Eddie!
