OFFICIAL? GUITAR WORLDS EVH interview

[indeedido]

According to the new Guitar World, it has a quote from EVH "I'm telling Dave, Dude, get your ass up here and sing, bitch! Come on!"

Goes on to say the ball is still in DAve's court to sign.


Full interview will be in next months issue.

All in all, this is great news. So now, we can't blame Ed, it is all up to Dave to kill the hopes.

According to the new Guitar World, it has a quote from EVH "I'm telling Dave, Dude, get your ass up here and sing, bitch! Come on!"

Are you saying that in the present Guitar World Magazine that is already out that there are quotes from Eddie that will be in the next issue's story?

[PlexiBrown]

When did Eddie say this to Dave? According to alot of the rumours over the past month or two Dave is already working on stuff with VH. If this quote is true and if Eddie said this to Dave fairly recently then so far nothing is going on.

How do you know this?
:confused:

[PlexiBrown]

It looks like this is legit.

[PlexiBrown]

Does anyone have the issue that has Zakk Wylde in a Santa outfit and a midget in an elf costume on the cover. This is supposed to be the issue with this information.

I'll second that nomination!
The Rock World needs this big time.
We can only hope we all get what we want for X-mas.!

[indeedido]

Yes, it is in the February issue of GW with Zakk Wyle on the cover with the midget. Page 25, "Tune Ups". I don't have a scanner, but this is the issue. The header is Could ths be magic? Eddie Van Halen's looks to reunite with Diamond Dave for '07 tour.......

Finally, some official press!!!!!!!

[DooMer87]

Praise the Lord! This is REALLY starting to shape up!

Um, excuse me, but..... Praise WHO???

You think the Lord brought you this reunion? That song wasn't called "Runnin With the Jesus", was it??

[indeedido]

I'm just thankful that EVH is finally ready to begin building some fucking buzz. The machine is gearing up.

[Panamark]

Hmmmm..

All or nothing ???

[Panamark]

Fuck Im a cryptic bastard sometimes... :p

[Panamark]

Its good to see some good natured humour
being thrown out there by the Father of Wolfgang !

[rustoffa]

I love this place.

[PlexiBrown]

The Feb. 07 Guitar World article mentions that if DLR agrees fan's will not see the classic line-up.

"Wolfgang breathes new life into what we're doing." says Ed. "He brings youthfulness to something that's inherently youthful. He's only been playing bass for three months, but it's spooky. He's locked tight and puts an incredible spin on our shit. The kid is kicking my ass! He's spanking me now, even though I never spanked him. To have my son follow in my footsteps on his own, without me pushing him into it, is the greatest feeling in the world."

[PlexiBrown]

I don't get the part about Wolfgang only playing bass for 3 months. A few years ago in interviews with Eddie he said that Wolfgang was playing bass and playing it well.

[rustoffa]

I've had an issue for two days with the editor of ROTH ARMY DAILY.

I just got the go-ahead on the latest article.

[Roy Munson]

The ball is in Dave's court, but on what conditions?

DON'T GET YOUR PANTIES IN A FUCKING BUNDLE!

We don't know what the terms are...could be really shitty financially for Dave. We don't know and knowing EVH and Alex and his 15 Ex-wives it might not be as tempting for Dave as we would think.

Hoping...

[PlexiBrown]

The Feb. 07 Guitar World article mentions that if DLR agrees fan's will not see the classic line-up.

Correction....this should say "if DLR agrees TO TOUR fan's will not see the classic line-up".

[rustoffa]

I'd like to smash Alex Van Halen over the head with a cinder block.

Right after the smashing? When he's still cuntcussed?

Time for an interview.

Interviewer: "Alot of people have mentioned you resembling Imelda Marcos...how does that make you feel?"

AVH: "I think I need an ambulance, somebody just smashed me over my head with something."

Interviewer: "You're a professional dude, shake that shit off!"

AVH: "What was the question again?....I feel cold."

Interviewer: "Fuck bro, I just noticed that gash in your head! GODDAMN...YOU'RE FIXIN' TO DIE!!!"

AVH: "Tell everyone at The Links goodbye for me.....and...just let them know....I never spent alot of money on pappagallos."

Interviewer: "OK"

[Panamark]

*DAVE*

Agree to Wolfgang playing all the bass on any new material..

No to tour.. Gotta be all or nothng...

For us fans of Ed/Dave, ironically it could be the son of ED
that actually gets some new material out there again..

You feel hurt ??
Dont....
I cant remember the last Van Halen album Mikey
played on...

VHII ???

Mike has been a stage boy for a long time....
Bring him back, who cares about Sammy anymore ???

Let EVH jnr play the bass on the new CVH material,
sounds like he is inspiring his father back where
he belongs...

Let Mike play bass on tour..

This can be done people..... Irving has the power,
Dave has the say...

Do it Dave, fuckit, Mike's bass hasnt been on a Van Halen
album for so long its not funny.
His vocals should be on a CVH reunion tour..

Us minions know this, the big boys know it more...

Personally Im looking forward to hearing the new Van Halen
material, Wolfgang included... Fuckit, it would have just been
Ed playing Bass anyways ?? So whats the big deal ???

[JuniorsGrades]

I can't believe some of the things I'm reading. If you're a fan of Classic VH than your a fan of Dave, Ed, Al & MIKE. You fucking guys that want to go see this are just fans of Dave & Ed...PERIOD. All you fucking guys talking about classic VH are fucking hypocrits if you support this. I'm not cheering on some fucking 15 year old kid who had nothing to do with this band other than being lucky enough to be shot out of his fathers pee hole. If he tours with them I hope it flops. If the ball is in Dave's court then he better make damn sure that Mike is on the stage with them otherwise they can kiss my ass motherfucker!

If you are responding to my post, then essentially thats what
Im saying.. Mike has to be there...

As for the Bass recording of new material, if its not Wolfgang,
it would have been Ed anyway.. Not Mike.....

Exactly...I thought Mike played Bass on W&CF, and Fair Warning but I could be mistaken.

He wasn't involved for '84 or any of the Hagar fluff for studio work at all.

You have to think the promoters are pushing for the full lineup.

Box set...full 1981 concert DVD, album and tour...????

It has to happen this time, right? They have to realize that induction to the R&R Hall of Fame (even though that is a dubious honor) comes this once since they will be inducted first time.

They can't let this opportunity pass them by, can they??

[bueno bob]

OK...if Wolf plays bass in studio, I'm OK with that...Mike hasn't played a note of Van Halen bass on tape since, what, 1996 anyway? No loss.

Mike needs to be on tour though, period.

Did you really just say this out loud?

[POJO_Risin]

I'm not going to presume to tell spED or Dave what to do...

I will presume to tell myself not to participate in it...

[MAX]

ok, if this is going to be released in the "latest" GUITAR WORLD, let's speculate how long ago the interview actually took place? Ed's always been open with that mag and has consistantly done interviews with the publication over the years.

I'm just wondering IF the time tables might infact have to do with Dave's "anual" call that he makes to the sisters at the first of the year and apparantly has done for evey year?

All we know drom Dave is that back when he was doing his radio show he (Dave) DID state that he'd spoken or had been speaking to Alex.

I'm thinking the timing seems fitting regarding this entire sitch folks. Also and after both this snippet and EVH on Stern, there's NO CHANCE of Anthony being either considered nor wanted whatsoever regarding this project.

Again, I know many think of it as a bad thing (myself included) that Anthony will not be involved. However, he's (Anthony) so fucking tied to the hip (and goodness only knows as to what else?) with his "Other Half" a'la Roy Hagar that I honestly breathe a sigh of relief not having him (Anthony) around. That even makes the chances slimmer of both Hagar and Dave EVER sharing the same stage in a Van Halen related fashion. Hopefully, that includes the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction cos Hagar does NOT deserve to be there as a member of Van Halen!!!

It's the six pack that should be celebrated ONLY cos that's the ONLY contributions that Van Halen made to rock and roll history. As Dave said in his book when someone mentioned the '96 fiasco as "just another chapter in the Van Halen saga." To which Dave replied "NO!!! Classic Van Halen is the whole book. The rest are disposable chaptersd and end of story!!!"

[DLRdelight!]

now i got to go buy this issue

Uh...didn't spED have Hagar tied to his hip for 12 years?

Sorry, Anthony is the bassist for Van Halen...period...

whether he played on the albums...or not...

No, I don't goto the shows to see Anthony...

But I DO go to see Van Halen...

without Anthony...they aren't Van Halen...

I'm not saying they can't call themselves Van Halen...

or tour...

or whatever...

what I am saying is I won't acknowledge it...

period...

Oh dear Poj...

I definitely wanna continue and engage in this discussion with you further cos I've been arguing it until I'm blue in the face over at the links for a month. lol.

I'm definitely going to go much in the same vein as if it were Page/Plant. I wanna see what, how and IF Dave and EVH can pull off something together at this stage in the game. I might feel differently if I get no new music out of it. Nonetheless, if those two tour and pass through SLC, count my ass in. Number one, Dave hasn't been here since '94 and I've been to every show that he's played here since the 1984 gig. So, why would this not be any different? I'm going to see Dave live, first and foremost.

As for them using the namesake "Van Halen" without Michael Anthony, I really could care less...

I mean, fuckin' A, they friggin' used said moniker for how many years without Dave at the helm? To me, Dave IS Van Halen PERIOD!!!

I also dunno how keen I am on the Wolfie thing but I'm keeping somewhat of an open mind, you know?

Again, for me, it's about Roth. I just hope EVH's chops, not to mention both his sister's along with his child's chops are up for it?

[Panamark]

At least for the first time in history, they are being honest about who is actually playing the bass lines :p

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah, I know you have Max, I saw your post in here the other day about it...

I won't go see Van Halen without the original lineup...

period...

end of story...

end of discussion...

I went and saw Page and Plant...because it was Page and Plant. They made NO BONES about it not being Zeppelin. They WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY to say it wasn't Zeppelin...

As far as going to see Dave live? I guess if he accepted playing with spED, his crinkle necked brother, and his fat fucking son...shame on him. Perhaps it would have been different IN 1994...OR EVEN 1996. Maybe even 2000, although I think the line really was 1996. What it comes down to is this. Things changed. 1996 was the ultimate power play. Dave came out and was Dave. spED came out and said, "This is my fucking band." It was bullshit, period. They tried again in 2000. Obviously Dave was holding up to his belief that the band was, as you put it, David Lee Roth. They couldn't come together on a percentage...IE...spED wanted Roth in a Anthony range. So now, spED adds ANOTHER fucking Van Halen to Van Halen. Gee...doesn't fit in the power play...does it? So...Dave agrees to this...

and you just have to ask one question if he does...

"Is it really that bad Dave, that not only have you waited ten years for Van Halen, but got RE-PUSHED out in 1996 so Ed could tell you it was his band and not yours, couldn't come to an agreement because of Lawyers in 2000, because you wanted to make sure to let spED know that it's at least as much a part of yours as it is his? Now you agree to join with a Fat fucking teenager playing base? And it's spED's kid?"

That was more like 10 questions in one...

They used the moniker, sure...they used it...but the aforementioned moniker of Van Halen means absolutely nothing now...the name is dogshit to the world. For years I said, yeah, but they don't get it...there's still the "six-pack." Well, you shit long and hard enough, eventually the shit seeps into the whole fucking yard...

As far as having an "open mind" for Wolfie...it's not about being good, bad...happy or sad. That's all fine and good. Go, think he's wonderful, and the next Amadeus wunderkind of all kind. Personally, I could care a less. If Wolfie someday tours as some kind of Elephant Troop of base players, maybe I'll catch the sideshow. Seriously...I don't want to see anything that the kid plays under the name of the band I went to see 22 years ago...before he was even a fucking glimmer in his Dad's eye.

VAN HALEN ISN'T FUCKING MENUDO!

Sorry folks, I'm not going to fucking buy into the passing down, or changing parts.

And truthfully, I could care a less about Eddie's chops at this point. I have no doubt that he can get it together for a tour. He's Eddie Fucking Van Halen. He's fucking crazy. He's a sociopath. He's a psycho. But he's still the greatest guitar player to ever live.

It's just past all that for me.

I once said, "It's all about the music." But you know what? Somewhere along the line, these fucking idiots, douchebags, nutjobs, made it more than that. They made it about themselves, and their fucking wacked out, ego-driven idiocy, that makes me want to fucking puke.

I always thought that the Hall of Fame would be when they ALL got back together. So we are there...and of course...

the new twist.

tubaganoosh joins the band.

another slap in the face.

I'm not here to debate.

I'm just done getting slapped in the face by any of these bitches.

I have fresh new copies of all the originals. I have boots out the asshole of the original.

I don't need some fucking children of the corn version of the band where Eddie, as Malikai, wacks off all the heads of the band members that he sees fit, for new membership.

Fuck that.

and Fuck Dave if he tucks his fucking tail between his legs...

One Man's Opinion.

[Sarge's Little Helper]

All bow before POJO.

[Matt White]

At least 2007 might actually have something new to talk aboot when it comes to VAN HALEN
