    Something about his story doesn't sound right.

    Perhaps a historian such as FORD might be able to shed some truth on this subject.

    I think this guy is trying to be another Jeff Fenholt. You know, the jackass on TBN who promotes himself as the "former lead singer of Black Sabbath" when the reality was that he cut a couple of demos with Tony Iommi for what was then officially known (and should have officially remained) a solo album.

    I don't know whether or not this guy ever worked for Van HALEN, and I have no idea about the comic book page account or anything, but it's a definite fact that Van HALEN did NOT break up in the middle of a tour, so there wasn't any "conversation in a hotel room" to be overheard.

    Whatever conversation took place was more than likely within 5150 studios, since that is where the band was working - or perhaps not working enough - when Dave decided to leave.

    It doesn't matter who quit, who was fired, why or what. The only thing that matters is the music we have, and the hope of a reunion.

    It never happened in a hotel room since the band was off tour when it DID happen.

    Yeah, but you still get to tour with Van Halen & be backstage every night. What a killer job when you're early 20's.

    abso-fuckin'-lutely! Without this brainfart topic we'd still be discussing his bluegrass tribute thingy or his hair...


    I took the story as BS, but thought it was interesting that this guy would mention the split happened in a hotel room. We all know the truth.

    Ed walked in on Val blowing Dave.

    End of story. The real split was between her legs babY!

    From what I gathered, I thought the band broke up in LA in March of 1985 while trying to record an album. The 1984 tour ended in late summer/early fall of 1984, so the idea of Van Halen breaking up while on tour is false.

    Plus, why would this guy wait over two decades to tell this story?

    Doesn't really matter if he was there or not, but it all smells like bullshit nonetheless.

    It's amazing how people find God after they lose all their money. I remember seeing MC Hammer on TBN trying to be a high energy, baptisted styled minister. The problem is MC Hammer didn't know the bible. He was tottaly lost and when he tried to use scripture for an example, he couldn't remember the scripture.

    He was like a fish out of water.

    Yes, according to Dave, he spent many hours sitting outside 5150

    waiting for Ed to roll out of bed and do some work.
