Gay Halen...from 1998...

[Terry]

I have absolutely nothing against Cherone....

What I remember was the HUGE buzz around Dave and the Sisters appearing onstage at the 1996 MTV Awards show - only to have those two pricks drive a stake right through the heart of rock music fans. I was fortunate enough (I guess) to have seen it live with a pretty big surprise factor...

That's what I was alluding towards...

By getting the public hyped up for a reunion with Dave...even if I give the Van Halens the benefit of the doubt and take them at their word that the reunion with Dave was always a one-off thing just for the BOV1, and they told Roth this in no uncertain terms from the get-go (none of which I quite believe, but whatever)...certainly someone, be it one of the Van Halens, or the then-managers...even the record company for that matter...SOMEONE should have stopped and thought about the possible blowback from dicking around with people's expectations and then making a half-assed attempt at a bait-and-switch. The long-term reaction vs. whatever short-term gains would be made re: enhancing the sales of BOV1.

I don't blame Cherone for the Van Halens behavior. Matter of fact, it probably would have been better for Cherone and the Van Halens in terms of how VH3 was received if they hadn't temporarily reunited with Roth at all.

I'm sure EVERYBODY here was flying after that event. I have nothing against Cherone either....then again, I'm in the minority as I can't stand Michael Anthony....

Alex is unintentionally hilarious.

Alex so wants to be funny... he is the complete opposite of funny. Typical drummer.

Ga Y Cheronie (who rides the balonie pony) was a longtime fan
of Van Hagar and picked up on the little mating ritual moves
that Sammy used towards the others (especially Mikey).
Problem was he forgot it was all backstage stuff....

The bent over fingering of butthole apparently got
them totally fired up. When Ga Y perfected the ritual Mikey
had to be injected with craploads of downers so Runnin with the Devil
didnt sound like Metaliica's whiplash !!

And now... to cleanse our eyes, ears, and memories from all that VDIII shit.

From the Van HALEN II tour, 1979......

[WARF]

Imagine the terror of being in the audience...

When the rolled out Eddie Van Heinekin... with the piano...

[Diamondjimi]

Yeah they now had 2 designated piss breaks. Bass solo & this abortion...

[Satan]

Yeah, but that song works great to torment people in Hell. Especially with all the natural reverb we got down here.
