Hagar sucks



You think Van Halen's future is going to go anywhere without him? Psst - hey, c'mon man - wake up
And Roth has the answer?



And a really shitty writer who was terribly overrated.
OK. John Bonham, Jim Morrison, Bon Scott, Frank Sinatra, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Dennis Hopper, Ernest Hemingway, W.C. Fields etc…

“I’d rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.”
-Tom Waits
“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”
- Benjamin Franklin
“Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.”
- Winston Churchill

get my point yet?


Certainly ain't Eddie.
Artist question. Eddie or Roth? Let’s see. Eddie with guitar or Roth dancing around. Again. RU gay? If so. Then ok u think roth dancing is more artistic than evh playing guitar. If you are not gay then the question still stands. Think about it.



He did. It was called "Van Halen 3".
You think it was a raging success?
Gary Cherone sang. How is that a solo album. Solos are cathedral. Spanish fly. Eruption. 316. Baluchitherium. Little Guitars (intro). Musical intros that are better than the songs themselves like Women in Love. Hear about it later. Mean Street. Fools. Take your whiskey home. Top Jimmy. Girl Gone Bad. 5150. Summer Nights. Anyway. Yeah VH 3 sucked and that makes my point. Fuck cherone fuck hagar and a la mierda con roth. eddie just needs to play and the rest can go pound sand.



So can you. In the future, please try to update your english and grammar, I hate correcting people.
I hate correcting people too. Pay attention to what I wrote not how I wrote it. Besides. R we communicating?

Dave's got a lot more to say than you think. When he was in Boston, I was impressed by the variety of topics he covered.

Drunk or hung-over??? WTF are you talking about?

I heard all of the recordings from Daves_PA_Rental, they were amusing. He's a funny guy for awhile, but then the arrogance starts to get annoying. He's a celebrity with an above average intelligence but he's no sage & not half as well informed on some topics as his confidence suggests. I'm no sage either but I try not to speak with any implied authority when I spew forth my objectionable opinions.

The drunk reference was what some people call an analogy. In this particular analogy, I was saying that a good stumbling drunk is fun occasionally & even the hangover afterward is part of the experience. It is not an experience that I would wish to have constantly though.

Peace

I'd love to see CVH live. However, the possibility is slim to none. Eddie is not only a drunk, he also appears to have mental problems. Did anyone notice on the press interviews, prior to last year's tour, that he was making fucking cheat marks on his guitar? Well, that says it all right there. Eddie has degenerated from a man who could build a guitar to one who needs cheat sheets to remember how to play Panama! He looks aweful and acts worse. Yes, he did have cancer, but it was the drugs that did most of the damage. Alcohol and tobaco are killing the man and eating his brain cells. Everyone says how Dave would be the problem on a reunion tour. Please! Yeah, I do think Dave is a bit of a pain in the ass. So what?! Most musicians are probably a little bit of a pain. Just look at dumbass Alex VH. His picture is right next to prick on the dictionary. I do have to speak the truth, however. A very close friend saw DLR at the Northbrook rib-fest. He said that he was good, but the theatrics are gonne and the notes are spotty. The man is pushing 50+. He isn't super man. It is inevitable that they are all getting older and losing talent by the year. They blew it in 96 guys. Now they are shells of their vibrant younger years. A reunion would be enjoyable, but not earth shattering. More tracks like MWM and CGTSNM are definitely possible in the studio. However, I wouldn't expect a VH1 or 1984.

^I see what you mean. Who wants to build a time machine?!

Dumb shit. Let me see if I can make some sense of this drivel you've left me...

You said: "Hagar sucks"

I says: "OK"

I said: "You think Van Halen's future is going to go anywhere without him? Psst - hey, c'mon man - wake up."

You says: "And Roth has the answer?"

I says: "Yes".

I said: "And a really shitty writer who was terribly overrated."

get my point yet?"

I says: "Eddie Van Halen is no John Bonham, Jim Morrison, Bon Scott, Frank Sinatra, Jimi Hendrix, Dennis Hopper, Ernest Hemingway, W.C. Fields, Benjamin Franklin or Winston Churchill. Eddie Van Halen is Eddie Van Halen and he's a SHITTY guitarist today because of his alcohol abuse."

I said: "Certainly ain't Eddie."

You says: "Artist question. Eddie or Roth? Let’s see. Eddie with guitar or Roth dancing around. Again. RU gay? If so. Then ok u think roth dancing is more artistic than evh playing guitar. If you are not gay then the question still stands. Think about it."

I says: "Am I gay? Are you cruising for ass? Why would you ask, otherwise? Fuckhead. Anyway, it takes David's presence to balance the VH boat. Period. Think about that."

I said: "He did. It was called "Van Halen 3". You think it was a raging success?"

You says: "Gary Cherone sang. How is that a solo album. Solos are cathedral. Spanish fly. Eruption. 316. Baluchitherium. Little Guitars (intro).

I says: "Eddie can't play solos like that any more because he's too fucking drunk to write anything worth listening to, other than pointless noodling. Every (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA) "solo" he played on the last tour proved that beyond any shadow of a doubt for all of America to unfortunately witness. In so far as pointless noodling is concerned, he's grate at that, I gues. As far as instrumentals? My 9 year old son can do that better than he can at this stage of the game."

I said: "So can you. In the future, please try to update your english and grammar, I hate correcting people."

You says: "I hate correcting people too. Pay attention to what I wrote not how I wrote it. Besides. R we communicating?"

I says: "I paid attention to what you wrote and it was stupid and you were corrected. You're at the wrong website anyway, fuckhead. Here's a link where they'll love you:

Have fun.

You know I've wondered if that's DAVE just letting go of it and not caring about, nor wanting, a reunion anymore. Maybe he is just touring for the fuck of it, because he won't be able to do it five or ten years from now. It certainly isn't a cash grab, he's not selling tee-shirts or live albums at his shows. It seems he's doing as much as a hobby now than anything else.

He probably makes more money collecting interest in a couple of days than he does playing live at summer festivals.

I think the only hope for the 'CVH-reunionists' was that DAVE was maybe keeping tuned up for a big reunion with Van HALEN. I'm not sure that why he's doing it at all anymore. In fact I think part of it is a sorta' fuck you to the sisters. And part of it is nostalgia for him before he retires to his mansion, writing, and the radio.

" 'CVH-reunionists' ". I dig it!!

Sounds about right in terms of Dave continuing to play live, despite CVH having not reunited as of yet; pretty much why not, you know?
