Why pay to see Eddie Van Halen??

Van Hagar music doesn't require great guitar playing, so if you are going to see Ed for that, you will be wasting your time.

If you can't see the BIG Picture, Ed needs money....why not wait until a Full record is done before going on tour??? Because Ed needs cash now! Three new Van Hagar tunes....do you believe there will be some great guitar playing in those songs? No way!!

What has Eddie done for the VH fans???? Nothing, NADA, Zilch....if you listened to his recent interview, he said it doesn't matter what the fans want. The fans bought his home, alcohol, etc.....

In this age of Digital Media....There has to be a better DVD with Dave, then watching Ed play on stage with Spam.

Give me a good reason why you would pay all this money to see Eddie besides this might be the last time????

[Dave's PA Rental]

Exactly why Im not going to see Van Hagar. If Eddie really wanted to make some cash-ola, all he and Alex have to do is release a multi-CD Dave-era live package along with a Classic VH DVD Box Set. They could charge crazy kiss-kash dollars for it...and they would get it.

BUT!!!

He would have to share the moola with you-know-who...

[Lou]

I'd see Ed solo or with an all-star musician group, disconnected from "Van Halen." But if he's going to be playing for "Van Halen," I ain't seeing him unless Dave is the singer.

That's why Ed is a Fucker

[TMR]

Hey lou, it will never happen.....when asked in the interview if he would ever play with Vai or Satriani, Ed says he only knows how to play noise.....I thought ed figured out that it was noise back in the 70's ....LOL

[Gorilla]

Ed's just plain stoopid. I don't see any Hagar fans, but I see a lot of Dave's. If he really wanted to earn serious cash, he would smoke the pipe of peace with Roth and make some real shit reuniting Classic VH. VH came to Brazil in 83, I was just six years old - I'd really like to see 'em live, man. Dumb dutch brothers...

If you knew anything about the guitar, you would save your face and not defend a dying musician like ED!

[Dave IS VH]

I always thought VH should release, all of their unreleased bootlegs, bar and club days, along with a DVD with all of their music videos and rare concert footage in a box set.

I don't know how Eddie is doing money wise, I know the divorce with Val. took a good chunk out of it, but thought he would be alright from the past years of album sells and touring.

So far the tour has been successful selling tickets, but lets see what happens, when they hit the road for a couple of months.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Edward stopped trying back in 85'...........he took the easy way out with Spammy and stopped doing anything interesting musically. He knows if he brought Dave back, the focus would'nt be totally on him.

[RufusTFirefly]

Ed Van Halen is a spiteful dumbass. He just doesn't seem to 'get' Dave, and thinks he's trying to steal the limelight from him. When all he's trying to do is get the spotlight on Van Halen The Band.

If Ed can't see that, then he's a blind man. Dave's gotta be the biggest classic Van Halen fan there is...

[pardo]

Its fucking simple why Ed is going with Fat Sam instead of Dave.

Ed can't play guitar like he could when Dave was in the band any more. With Fat Sam, he can just go through the motions.

[L.S.D.]

pardo, you are a dumb mother fucker. Why is washed up dlr the be all end all of you morons?

You are right - I am a dumb motherfucker. No arguement there!

But I take my dumb motherfucking finger and point it squarely at you. You're on a David Lee Roth website asking devout David Lee Roth fans why they think David Lee Roth is so awesome. Connect the dots dipshit!

I said Edward can't play guitar like he did when Dave was in the band. If you argue that, then you're completely delusional. Edward simply set the watermark way too high with Dave in the band. He didn't have 10% of the inspiration or fire with Sammie, so he'll take the easy road. But I will concede that Dave can't sing like he did back in the day.

I happen to like the music, playing, singing and attitude Van Halen had when Dave was in the band waaaaaaaaay more than this Sammie stuff.

[L.S.D.]

Youre telling me Eddie CANT play like he did in the dlr era? Choose your words better, if you say he DOESNT play like that anymore, than it could be argued. But why would ed not be able to anymore? Doesnt make sense.

[Big Troubles]

no what doesn't make sense is your little girlfriend general hina getting bitched up in the other thread by me. It baffles the mind why you pussies start these little arguments and run to the next thread or board to see what so and so said. Get a life. Just like sammy, you live through other peoples thoughts and emotions instead of being you.
Being a sociology major with a degree in psychiatry, I can tell you and a few of your friends need some serious council. Or maybe your brain was downloaded by aliens too? But this forum is for the entire Dave population to praise and some what critic his work from the past to present. But you use words a 4 year old would, and thats not critiquing.
That's is just makes you a waste of human fluid.

[L.S.D.]

well that made no sense....

Dude, you like to split hairs eh? Weather he can't play like that any more or decides not to play like that, I still like his playing better during the DLR years.

And we all know he can't play like that anymore. I couldn't even watch the RHRN solo he did. Compare that to the live boots of his solo in '76 and you'll see what I mean.

Cause he is a 50 year old drunk.

Seriously, he won't need to be able to play guitar. Since there are no Dave era tunes this tour, looks like your hero will be behind the keyboards a whole lot!!!

[L.S.D.]

what? idiots? what?

[Bob_R]

So, if Dave came back or comes back he'll be able to play right? :p

Eddie Van Halen is the best fucking guitar player on the planet!

End of fucking story.

You go to this show, you support Sammy Hagar and a band TARNISHING the name Van Halen.

Right on. Ed lost his competitve nature when Dave left. He wanted it his way and he got lazy to the point of being uninspired to rock.

You bring in a mediocre singer, you become mediocre.

Go ahead, go and pay to see it.

You're a lost soul, brother.

If Dave came back he'd PUSH Eddie to be great again. There's nobody around to do that anymore. In the comfort of his little world, with his little clique and his own little studio..."Edward" is a BORE.

Once again, u morons believe that dlr is the be all end all of VH. So if dlr is singing, Eddie is creative, but if hes not singing, eddie is a dick, washed up, etc.

get over it already, youve had 20 years.

I know what you're saying, Ed's sound changed after Roth. Whether intentional or not or alittle bit of both it did. I still enjoy listening to him play. To each their own.

I'll give you a couple of good reasons (IMO)...

1. The fucker won't come over and jam in my studio...

2. Why do people pay to go see Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmie Page, Carlos Santana, BB King, Ozzy, DiamondDavid Lee Roth, etc... For the plain and fucking simple reason that those are artists the individual enjoys seeing/hearing.

Being a purist has it's merits... but I would have missed decades of good music, well... and some pretty bad music too, from the list of artists above if I only insisted on seeing their original line-up...

I fail to see what the issue is... unless of course the lot of you that hold the position that you wouldn't waste your money to see Edward play with xxxxx singer, would without a moment's thought line up to boycott a tour if Dave returned because Edward was the guitarist ... then all this posturing would make sense... but I suspect that's not really the case, is it?

How many of you boycotted Dave's last 3 tours cause Bart or Brian/Toshi were the guitarists? You went to see Dave didn't you? The guitarist was a secondary consideration wasn't he? How is that any different w/ Sammy singing and a guitarist wanting to see Edward smoke a fretboard?

[GAR]

Led Zeppelin went pretty much into hibernation between 77 to 80, about 3 years. People forgot who they were almost when they came out with "In Thru the Outdoor" and to make up for it they put on alot of keyboard synth stuff.

- they didn't change the singer though. Credit for that.

Because Dave didn't call it "Van Halen," he called it by his own name, "David Lee Roth." He didn't pretend it was something else unlike Eddie, who is calling it "Van Halen" like we're supposed to buy this as the reunion. And also they're playing Roth songs on the radio commercials to promote it because they know the Van Hagar songs suck.

Nice Post

1. He wouldn't go to anyone's home, because he's a dick!
2. Why do people see Eric Clapton, etc.....because they are inspiring ARTISTS,,,,,Eddie doesn't inspire anything but a bore, without DAVID LEE ROTH he doesn't have the drive to play great music. Dave pushed him too his limits and SPAM will suck his dick, so this is why SPAM is in the band and why Ed will be behind the keyboards for when DREAMS, WHEN IT"S LOVE, ETC. are performed.

NUMBER ONE REASON WHY NOT TO SEE EDDIE......HE SUCKS! ERUPTION WAS MADE in 1978..........ED hasn't done anything creative since 1982 on DIVER DOWN with LITTLE GUITARS.

Listen to LOU, he knows what VAN HALEN meant to people and the chemisty DLR and EVH had that made them great!

What the FUCK has SPAM done to make ED a better guitarist or at least creative???? GIVE TO LIVE???

I've listened to all the CRAP Ed has put out since 1986, and it un-inspiring, complete boredom. Only one song might have a chance of good guitar playing in it...HUMANS BEINGS...WHY, because SPAM wasn't in the studio

LISTEN TO ME WISE MAGIC & CAN"T GET THIS STUFF NO MORE...DO YOU HEAR THE DIFFERENCE????????????:confused: If you don't, let me hook you up with a EAR SPECIALIST:eek:

WOW TMR LIKES SOMETHING ED DID AFTER 1984.

[TMR]

I'm a pretty open-minded person and I gave it all a chance, so yes that song rocks! SPAM was kicked out of the band during that time frame .....LOL

1. He gets drunk alot and passes out with lit cigarettes between his fingers.

2. He gets drunk alot and that affects his motor skills.

3. He gets drunk alot and trys to flip sizzling bacon slices with his bare hands when he's really fuckin' hungry.

4. He gets drunk alot and starts playing with mousetraps, inevitably thrashing his fingers repeatedly.

5. He gets drunk alot and slams the piano keyboard cover door on his fingers.

6. He gets drunk alot and trys to hang pictures on the wall, smashing his fingers to kingdom come with a framing hammer covered in red and white tape.

7. He gets drunk alot and puts his arms in the maytag 3000 washing machine while it's running thinking he left a pack of cigarettes in a pair of overalls he wore the other day.

..........etc,etc.

I would pay to see Ed play.
Solo or with Van Halen.(not to be confused with Van Hagar)

I would never pay to see him with Hagar or Cherone.

Holy shit, I'd camp out in front of Sam Goody for that CD/DVD package! That would be totally awesome!

Maybe someday, I hope.
