<title>The latest on the Van Halen boys.....</title>
<description> 
Hi folks,

Well, I don't know if it's news or rumour......I'm just trying to stir up the pot (ok, the shit). Hard Radio reports:

From the &amp;quot;we'll believe it when we see it department&amp;quot;, SAMMY HAGAR has reportedly revealed that David Lee Roth just got booted from VAN HALEN. Hagar told an online source that he has inside information that Roth is already out of the band, and is in the hospital having back surgery...

I'm so happy. You know why? Because now I can say, with my best fatherly voice: &amp;quot;I told you so&amp;quot;. It was never going to work with Dave Lee, he's an egomaniac with a prticularly distorted view of reality, and Eddie, well he's just lost his mind. It was bound to end badly. Now, I know the people who were waiting for them to rise from the ashes and capture their former glory once more will shake their fists at me while angry drool slips down their chin and say, &amp;quot;You just wait and see Jackass!&amp;quot;.

But see, I'm enjoying this. Even six months ago, I was sorry a once-legendary band was foundering and still hoped VH would storm back with a larger than life album, that Eddie would recover his missing marbles, and they'd embark on a stupendous world tour. But they've gotten so burned by their own garbage, not having a clue what they're doing, and by snubbing their fans with so much prolonged hush-hush nonsense that never goes anywhere, that I'm enjoying the VH debacle. Let them go down in flames....I want to hear about how Dave O.D.s, about how Eddie got checked into an insane asylum by his despairing wife, about how Alex's kid gets Fs in school, about how Mike Anthony can't keep away from the Big Macs.

Nah, you know what? I'd rather just have them stop contaminating the rumor mill.

Go away please.

Cheers,
Jack.

You're acting as if Eddie and Alex are your fuckin' stepbrothers.<br /><br />Chill the fuck out. If you're going to take something like this personally, take it somewhere else and get yourself a life on the way.<br /><br />Personally, I used to be a huge VH fan, but I really don't give a fuck about them anymore. You gonna blast me for that remark too? Knock yourself out...<br /><br />By the way, what are your definitions of a &quot;fan&quot; and a &quot;true fan&quot;? After all of the BS your &quot;stepbrothers&quot; have been dishing out, VH needs every fan they can get. If you think VH isn't worried about their fans, then your head is so far up your ass, you won't be seeing daylight until 2001..<br /><br />]]></description>

You think VH are worried about their &quot;fans&quot;? Yeah, if they are all like you guys, I'd worry too! They are musicians, that know their true fans will be there forever!!! Why don't you dumbasses, go write for rolling stone or work for mtv...you'd fit right in!!!]]></description>

I've missed reading your always-humorous rants like this one. It's been too long since I've laughed out loud in front of this computer, causing my wife to think I'm a raving lunatic. Anyhow, if I could just get ya to email me your snail mail addy, I'd fire off this disc that's been ready to go since last spring...(Please?)<br />Don]]></description>

<title>RE: Right on!!!</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,5627,5666#msg-5666</link><description><![CDATA[ I totally agree. This secret shit sucks. Your right. The tour wouldnt last more than 2 weeks anyways. Unless dave has no contact with the band untill showtime and then leaves imediately afterwards. Just perform with them thats it. No tour bus, backstage, interviews together, NOTHING. Then maybe he and Eddie can get along. Hmmmmmmmmm. Just might work. I dont even care anymore what happens. I don't think the new stuff with Dave will be anything too exciting anyways. Hardly worth the wait. Hey Dave might never even have been back with them all this time anyways. The secret shit is just total bullshit anyways. They obviously dont care too much about their fans to be keeping everything a big secret anyways. Marketing plan????? HA!!! If anything they are losing any kind of sales cause everyone will be so fed up with them anyways. I guess we will see whats happens..]]></description>

I've been enjoying the Van Hagar years on my home vids and listening to my Van Hagar discs and that's enough for me, its a catalogue of music that can only be added to by Sammy himself, whether on his own or with them other blokes. I've lost the energy to even wonder about them anymore, Sammy's de man!]]></description>

<title>RE: VH garbage</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,5627,5650#msg-5650</link><description><![CDATA[ Its too bad that Van Halen got so big that their only big concern is<br />to sell millions of copies of a CD. The once musical entity has become<br />the Van Halen Corporation where they cant even tell their fans what they are doing<br />because they might ruin a marketing plan.<br /><br />I think they should get rid of the Warner Bros &amp; do music they enjoy with<br />a singer they can get along with. Lower the scale which they work, they<br />are already millionaires. This DLR fiasco is just a forced situation that is/has<br />no chance. Even if they do tour you know after 2 weeks it'll be cancelled.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />]]></description>

<title>VH garbage</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,5627,5639#msg-5639</link><description><![CDATA[ Yes, it IS kinda amusing to watch the once high and mighty flounder. Where I've enjoyed Van Halen immensely in the past, their antics as of late have been disheartening.<br /><br />I AM however, really looking forward to Sammy's next album!

Why anyone thought that putting the two of them back together would be magic anyone is beyond me.<br /><br />DLRs last album-shit<br />VH3 - shit<br /><br />shit + shit = more shit (even more so considering the two lame songs on Greatest Hits)<br /><br />]]></description>
