When a band like ELI has been together for forty years, you know there are some great stories of things that have happened along the way. The tales told from the road are sometimes shocking and sometimes scary, but for the most part, these accounts of the past are usually some of the funniest things imaginable.
This section of our website will be gradually filled by tales of action and adventure from both members and fans so make sure to check back every so often to see the additions!
Feel free to contact us with your road stories!
Over the last 40 years there have been more than 70 amazing players and performers that have been a part of the ELI Rock and Roll Legacy.

The most amazing part is how many of the guys that have been a part of the ELI family have kept the music as a big part of thier lives. Once you have the music in your soul, its hard to get it out!
