At least someone else besides me has the brains and the balls to lay the blame on Roth for walking out on the greatest rock band in the world at the height of their popularity...
That in turn is the reason their legacy doesn't have the impact or staying power it should...
Oh well...
tours post VH cd's and just general music Dave has layed down
in my op puts VH in a catagory of Dave was VH.
VH post Dave is to me and the quality of the music just another great rock band nothing special, something missing, how could it be better.

no this generation has no idea who david lee roth is or vanhalen with or without dave.
they have had rap and bubblegum pop shoved down thier throats by mtv and BET.
the rock stations play music from bands like the red hot chili peppers,saliva, crede, and every other shit whiner band you can name, over and over.
i cant tell you how many times ive switched to 3 or 4 different stations here and the chili peppers are on all of em.
i cant tell you one band or 1 song from any of them that i truly like or am happy to hear playing.
i can remember walking down a street here in my town that has several bars in a row and every one of them had limp biscuits i did it for the nookie playing all day long. im so glad that band is over.
music today sucks dirty ball sacks, its boring and has absolutely no meaning, these fuckers couldnt tell a story if thier lives depended on it. mediocre at best.
when i ask kids close to my family or just anyone if they ever listen to vanhalen, they are like HUH? i say yeah vanhalen, they are clueless.
i dont understand it.
ive said this before and i mean it, kids today suck, they are worthless and weak no ambition or sense of adventure. maybe im just and old fuddy duddy. but GODDAMNIT i know what good music sounds like.
ok ill take that back they aint worthless.

In regard to the Crue, they had some kick ass songs, & a lot of lame songs
They were the big "party" band
But what really made their rep was their offstage antics, not the music
When your snorting mountains of blow, shooting up whiskey to come down, dying of drug overdoses before coming back to life, etc., the music sort of gets lost in the drama
VH was a party band to an extent too, but they pretty much put the integrity of the music first & foremost
THE fact that van halen isnt well known among the under 25 crowd is thier own dam fault .......... eddie and alex have done nothing to preserve thier legacy during thier glory years ..........hell .... bands even older than van halen ,beatles ,rolling stones ,the doors are more well known than van halen ,not just the name but thier songs too . most legendary bands ,have now put out dvds of live shows ,documentary footage ,box sets ..,.... van halen has done nothing but shit on, 1978-1984 .......... its up to us to carry the torch to the next generation .......... im doing my part .......... are you ?

"Revisionist history" right there people.....
The Crue followed in VAN HALEN's wake......
THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN was/is the blueprint that all the lesser L.A. bands were based on.....
VH was the GUNS N ROSES of the late 70's/early 1980's.....
Back of VAN HALEN II?!?
Trashing hotels & causing mayhem?
The Crue were still wearing skinny ties at the time......

Matt, I see what you're saying & you're correct, but that wasn't what I was referring to
I meant although VH was a party band, they were known first & foremost by their music
Bands should be known by the real "party", the one onstage
Most people knew about the Crue's insane antics offstage rather than their music. & THAT was the attraction before the music entered into it
With VH, it was the music itself that got people interested, not the "booze & babe train" that Roth was fond of saying
Ed can`t face touring with Dave, so no wonder there`s no announcement. I think Ed`s long term plans are to tour with Dave for 40 dates, for closure on the Dave thing. Then he will try to tour with both Sam and Dave together shortly after. Ed wants to milk the fans for every dollar he can before he retires.
I'll bet from how this feels...
Any KID under 20 thinks VH is a top 40 Rock band from the 90's and perhaps they know who the members are(doubtfull)...... but in reality if they are not studying music they probably have no Idea of CVH.
Ban Hagr !!!! only has two hits that get air.
If the KID ain't listening to rock stations they may have no clue of CVH?
If Dave did rejoin It would boost the whole world of rock, old ,new and
future, into the mainstream lotsa bucks in that for the Industry.
Plus if I figure this rite some great New Music,Live shows, T-shirts etc.....

when I am sitting in a public place (say waiting for someone or something) I play a little "people watching" game called "Roth or Hagar". As strangers walk by, I will point them out and my kids and I will speculate as to whether they are Roth fans or Hagar fans.
....its friggin' hilarious at times...my kids get it completely....
