    EVH Material Fatigue

    Seeing as a CVH reunion is unlikely I actually had some hopes for the latest Van Hagar offering. What a shame they couldn`t come up with better tunes than "up for breakfast" ... Bummer.
    If Ed had any sense they should`ve raided their old "listen to this, Gene" demo. Some choice material there; She`s the woman, Let`s get rockin` and Big Trouble too name a few.
    Granted I would prefer if Dave sang those tunes, but just imagine what a different impact the Van Hagar reunion would`ve had if those gems had been cut again with Sammy and the boys.
    Well, too late now..

    I'd rather drink a gallon of battery acid than hear Spammy sing another DAVID LEE ROTH tune........

    No! You got me wrong! I didn`t HOPE for a Hagar reunion, I`m just saying it would have lasted longer had they used the old demo songs. Although "It`s about time" ain`t halfbad. But I agree it would`ve sounded much better with DLR. Way better.

    Somehow it seems Ed`s songwriting changed after Sammy joined. It would`ve been nice to hear Van Hagar do the old stuff. That`s all I`m saying..

    The whole 6-pack is a bit over the top.. It would be interesting to hear Sammy`s take on Secrets and In A Simple Rhyme, other than that I`m quite happy with the 6-pack as it is.

    GRATE lyrics tend to make an inferior talent like Spam sound better than he is........

    I'd NEVER want to hear him butcher any of DAVE's classic stuff.....

    Spam needs to stick to "Three lock box" & "The Girl gets Around"....

    Profound lyrics just cuntfuse him!!!

    HA!

    I agree, Dave`s lyrics are much more entertaining. But Hagar lyrics often have a somewhat more profound quality to them. Actually, if I didn`t know better, I`d guessed Secrets to be a Hagar lyric. It reminds me of some of his work on 5150. I reckon Sam & Dave are not that different after all! LOL

    DAVE's lyrics are much more cinematic & developed than Spam's.....

    Like shakespeare as compared to Archie comics....

    Spam hasn't written anything even remotely as evolved as "Secrets"....

    I'm quite sure Desmond Child and/or Ted Nugent helped Spam with his writing during the van hagar days.....he hasn't written anything quite so cheesy since...not that anybody knows any songs off "Marching to Mars" or.......what else has he recorded in the last 10 years?:confused: Doesn't matter....he's always been an inferior talent......

    Or...as BLENDER magazine put it when reviewing his last greatest hits package(an oxymoron?)......"A 30+ year career totaly devoid of talent".

    Exactly, exactly

    Recently saw a review comparing a Sammy lyric to some of Walt Whitmann`s writings. Anyhow, Sam & Dave are both great writers in their own way.

    That must mean, what the fuck is with those lame ass lyrics....
    "Hear that O.F.? If old school Army gals with solid track records of contribution choose to bless us with their tits, ass, vagina, or just sexy eye shots, leave them be (at least until I've had a chance to rub one out)..."
    That is all.

    You do realize that you have forever tarnished you time here, right?

    But that's not too surprising, considering you are a Class-A Red Rockin' Spammy glory hole.

    Not getting enough attention over at the Links with the other worbita fags, so you figure you would be 'original' and come over here and try to stir the shit. Come on man, this routine is as old as your granny's wrinkled poon.
    23. That's the number of people Mr. T has pitied in the time it has taken you to read this sentence.

    Where? On Spammy's Website?!? I'd like to see a link to that...

    NOBODY is foolish enough to compare Spam's lyrics to Walt Whitmann's....Hell, Slim Whitmann wrote better lyrics!!!


    Spam is a hack....which is why the only hit he's had since "I Cun't Drive 55" was that re-writing of "ROCK "n" Roll Pt.1" by Gary Glitter.....Who I'm sure has a LOT in common with the Spam-man

    This Solbakken dude just ain't on my wavelength.

    Personally never had any hopes for anything worthwhile to come outta Van Hagar in 2004, since why would it? Nothing they did from 1985 to 1996 was worth a damn.

    And since they couldn't come up with anything decent, therefore they should have taken old CVH demos and had Sammy singing them? Fuck that shit. If Ed and Al don't wanna play with Dave, then they shouldn't be able to reap any benefits from his past contributions. That goes the same live, too.

    Let Van Hagar rise or fall on their own merit. Fuck letting them coast along on what Dave and the boys built.

    See Army...this is what happens. You have a talented frontman like Roth who has great chemestry with an amazing band...they sell millions of albums..rocks everyones world...you know the rest. The frontman bails (for reasons I completely understand) and they bring in this clown named Sammy who brings his SOFT SIDE to what used to be one of the GREATEST rock bands of ALL times,and what happens? SAMMY FANS ARE BORN. You know the type. Likes a heavy song with sissy lyrics. The next thing you know the SAMMY FANS START SPEAKING saying shit about the first 6 albums...immature music...ect. WHEN THE TRUTH IS THAT VAN HALEN WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN VAN HALEN IF IT WASNT FOR DAVID...but what the fuck do I know. I'm a duck.
