Hi folks.........
The interweb's hitch1969 here. You've known me from back in the day when I said at the official Van Halen site that Eddie Van Halen should get his balls back from Valerie Bertinelli and start drinking again.
Turns out old h69 was right - for 2000. In 2007, me so wrong-0. Val's gone, ed was downright running with the wrong porno making crowd, and the the drunken mistake of bringing david lee back up on howdy doody mountian was made, committed to... and much like we all do at the annual x-mas party..... regretted and avoided.
It takes alot for old h69 to make an apology. Yet here it is, in the face of what can only be described as giddiness for the future. When EVH graduates from rehab, we'll have probably a window of 4 or 5 very productive sober days until the alcoholism begins again. Then again to get back to this vortex in EVH time would take a good 25 or 11 years, depending on who your favorite singer is.
To everyone saying "hey, photoshop eddies face onto the bald britney spears" may i remind you that drunken head shaving is so old school EVH 1995 that admitting alcoholism is SOOOOO 1988.
Today was a pivtol day in Van Halen history. Of course only about 1000 people on the internet across 2, maybe 3 sites outside of the offical site even give a shit. But major things happened just 4 days before our greatest band's induction to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
David Lee announced that he would NOT even attend given the fact that ED and AL somehow cant make it and Velvet Revolver are going to perform and he cant
Eddie announced that "At the moment I do not feel that I can give you my best. That’s why I have decided to enter a rehabilitation facility to work on myself, so that in the future I can deliver the 110% that I feel I owe you and want to give you."
you know what............
Sammy Hagar and Mike Anthony, "the other half" .... are going to represent Van Halen to the world???
I'm a Van Hagarist, don't get me wrong. But this idea is awful to me.
Can't even fatboy WolfGang® show up to offset this bullshit?
I'm glad that eddie went to rehab. Because at this point, hell... for the last 10 years, its not even about his rehab of any substances. It never was... thats why I said what I said about him giving up booze in 2000.
Ed is fucked up in the head. The drinking was a manifestation of that, but it never was the problem. However, not only did it never help but in the last few years, it made him toothless, cancerless, and a made pornographer while he couldnt even get along with SAmmy Hagar.
Sammy Hagar on the other hand pun intended is SO fucking suckass corporate OPRAHspeak at this point that rock n roll has lost all meaning to that geriatric motherfucker. And to him, who even cares because he's at death's door, having the midlife crisis resolved back when he joined Van Halen. Plus he's a mindless drone of his young trophy wife who took his balls while he betrayed Betsy who believed in him when no one did. Karma wheel is gonna spin back 'round on that one.
I should say that David Lee is again acting like the fucking dickhead that got him exiled from the paradise that he wants so badly back in. Didnt CBS radio fucking teach that guy anything about humility? It sure sounded that way just about 1 year ago. How quickly dave's arrogance forgets.
I thought. especially in the interview with him a week or so ago... wish I had the VHLINK, but anyway.... Dave sounded like the most mature elderstateman of the ball babies and even better than Hagar the politician. He was the voice of reason. I think it was also an LA TIMES article.
Now Dave says that he wont go because he "sings for his supper" and it's his fucking "3:22". Well, Dave, you fucking dickhead, I wish this was your radio format change show that Friday after Miami. When the one time I ever saw you as a human being facing adversity, I finally thought that David Lee had GROWN UP and joined us all in the Real world. Face it Dave, you're mid 50s these days... you've cut your hair, gone country. Tried corporate CBS, and failed miserably.
GET to the fucking rock n roll hall of fame with Hagar and "sauce sobeleski" and be humble in accepting your share of the honor. You fucking alphamale dickweed, you. Of course, thats why I love ya babe, only you, only you... you always pull me though.
Eddie you fucking listen up too... I dont care if you're in fucking rehab. REHAB IS FOR PUSSIES, you fucking pussy, but you need it because you have been a PUSSY for a long time now. 'Nuff said, pussy. Sorry man but rock n roll hall of fame outweighs rehab in the rock paper scissors scheme of shit so get a pass from the rehabilitationists. If they wont give you a pass to leave, QUIT rehab and get back to drinking. Hey man, if old h69 has to sit the fuck back and guide you like a fucking puppet, what's the fucking point in rehabbing? Do the right thing and leave me the fuck out of it. OR go back to the meth and booze. I could give a fucking shit less dude, die early if you want. I've got my own problems to solve.
This timing is horrible. Eddie Van Halen FINALLY admitting wrongdoing and saying that he is TRYING to correct is actually GOOD NEWS in the long term. For all the badmouthing, second guessing, and criticism that we do on these sites... and the frustration with this band over the last 10 years.... I'm the last person to advocate this, but THANK YOU, eddie.
BEST!!
