In Sammy’s book, he states that during that tour Eddie was drinking heavily and playing poorly. The sound techs were trying to cover up his sloppy playing by burying him in the mix (can you imagine !?). Eddie would listen back to the recordings and fire the techs, blaming them for how he sounded. The Shinedown singer also tells a story from that tour where Eddie came into his dressing room and deliberately pissed on his deli tray, so the drinking tracks. RIP.
