Eddie had a short fues it seemed.

He was constantly exploding over one thing or another. He made one Album, then got screwed over by record company politics and disappeared himself for so many years. From the moment Rick asked him to show what stuff he was made of thru getting the band together, Eddies behavior is that of a despot, the way he chewed out Rick for doing things on his own without a group vote, forgetting that Rick was pretty green and was well meaning, booking shows, writing to the record company. Eddie was plain scary. How many times did he grab Rick and yell in his Jersey accent "Who told you, you can do that"

If he had the guts he could have figured some way to get free of his obligations to Satin Records and gone on to try a studio more open minded to new ways someone like Eddie expressed themselves and music result as such.

He was the one who went to hide, so holier then thou about the music that he does nothing till he met Rick and the Sax Player. Then it was his way or the highway having tantrums smashing his guitar. I think Eddie Wilson was just short of going postal next time something happens regarding his music.
