Just curious !
Jan Van Halen was an alkie! He was a trained musician and alot of them use the 'sauce'.

$3.75!!!!!!!! To see QR and VH. ROTFLMAO- could you imagine?? How much were the sheep paying on this tour to hear all of Spammy's love songs and butchered CVH tunes? Well, I guess I would've had to have been 10 years older and in Cali at the time...
Anyways, thanks for posting, FS. I hope your Thanksgiving was enriching!

Yeah! I knew the difference between their upbringing was like apples and oranges, but DAMN! Davy Baby's childhood home makes Ed & Al's look like a guest house! Could THAT be part of the reason why Alex gives Dave so much shit? Maybe he feels Dave didn't really have to work as hard as he and Ed due to having a rich doctor daddy?

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow Well, it at least explains why Dave had the PA and they didn't...
LMAO! It appears that the late Dr. Roth wasn't giving his only son a free ride. Dave signed a contract with his Dad to work for the money to repay the loan for the PA system! Papa Roth was teaching his boy work ethics.

Michael Anthony's dad kicked him out of the house when he dropped out of college and joined Van Halen.
Jan Van Halen was too drunk to care. Eugena Van Halen wanted Ed and Al out of music because she didn't want them to be poor starving drunks like their dad.
Dr. Nathan Roth wasn't really thrilled with Dave's choice but thought a year of trying to make it would descourage the kid. Instead of kicking Dave out of the house or belittling him, Dave's dad helped his kid try and succeed even if he knew it was nearly impossible.
