Yeah, here it is, straight out of the horse's mouth:
In April 1996, in an interview with Guitar World, when asked about how he went from playing his first open A chord to playing "Eruption", Eddie replied:
| “ | Practice. I used to sit on the edge of my bed with a six-pack of Schlitz Malt talls. My brother would go out at 7pm to party and get laid, and when he'd come back at 3am, I would still be sitting in the same place, playing guitar. I did that for years — I still do that.[2] |
And there is another interview where he openly discusses Hagar's freak out when he saw both brothers regularly bingeing. A six pack of Schlitz Malt TALLs is roughly equivalent to 13 1/2 regular beers when volume (18 oz) and alcohol content (7-8%) are taken into account.
