So Ed is making half ass music, Dave ?

So where do we go now ?

Dave ?

Suck it in, and make the most of whats left in EVH
or
Tell Ed its Fucked and not worth the effort ??

Fuck the poll, lets talk.

[VAiN]

I'm hoping that an inspired EVH can still pull out a few tricks and make something worth listening to... Hell, they can revisit the 2000/2001 tunes for all i care...

[Coyote]

Dave's not here, man...

Aye Aye !!

Its worse when your wife and family are overeseas, its 110 degrees
and theres all these icy cold beers calling my name just a short stroll
away to the fridge ! I have officially moved beer oclock back 3 hours
a day at the moment

[Panamark]

Dave's not here, man...

Classic !

Eddie should put that on his answering machine !

[VanHalenFan5150]

Very good idea.

"Hi, you've reached the voicemail of Eddie Van Halen. I don't know how the fuck you got my number or why you're calling. If you're here to leave an important business call, press 1. If you're here to rant about how great I am, press 2. If you're here to complain, go fuck yourself. Thanks, I'll get back to you as soon as I can!"

[NATEDOG001976]

Dave's not here, man...

Dave's waiting fro Rothfans to come back up.

[Panamark]

Dave's waiting fro

Daves waiting Fro ????

[NATEDOG001976]

Daves waiting Fro ????

Yes, and that too...lol!

[Panamark]

Heres Joey Thunder fresh from howdy doody mountain,
as always helpin with albums and settin the Van Halen trends !!

[Panamark]

Shit, Im gonna be in Howdy Doody mountain in under 2 weeks.....

Hey all you LA CALI dudes, is it cool to stand in Ed's drive
and take a happy snap or does he have nasty security ??

[ace diamond]

if you look in laurel canyon, and if you can find the right house, you will be confronted by security and roadies.........not a great idea.

[jhale667]

You can blink and drive right past the place, for starters - and you can't really see anything from the gate.

[GAR]

.. what security?

And who would bother the old man in his respite years, for anything anyways?

Back in high school we'd drive by just to see where it was, and didn't fuck with the place. You'd think if there would be guard tower to spot rabid fans scaling the gate, it would be back in the eighties.

[ace diamond]

well, we stopped, got out, and were trying to peek through the gate, and security showed up pretty quick to tell us to fuck off. this was back in the late 90's when i heard that they were looking for a new singer. i went there to see if ed would let me audition. obviously, i never got the chance.

[GAR]

this was back in the late 90's when i heard that they were looking for a new singer.

You went over to audition out of the blue?

[ace diamond]

You went over to audition out of the blue?

i was 19 or 20 at the time. i was in the neighborhood.........so i
figured, "why not?"
what the hell, i had nothing to lose. what was the worst that could happen?
they tell me to go fuck myself?

it was worth a try.
i failed gloriously.
but at least i tried instead of torturing myself wondering what if.

i never got past the front gate anyway.

I thought Ed said that there will be no new music because the Hagaritas didnt applaud him loudly enough during the 3 new "songs" they played at the shit-fest reunion of 04.??


What I want to know is how does Ed remember any of 2004? He was in the fucking bag that entire year.

Cool story . Glorious failure the best sort

[ace diamond]

Cool story . Glorious failure the best sort

yup.
then me and the band i was in at the time went over to the opium den for the gig we were playing there that night, and got really fucking wasted, got on stage, kicked ass, then continued the party all the way home, which was in highland, at the time, and continued the party well into the next day.

the neighbors didn't like us very much. we were very loud, 24/7-
fuck 'em.

the neighbors were douchebags anyways.

about 2 weeks after this incident, we played at the whiskey.

i have no memory of that gig whatsoever. i partied extremely hard.

[Panamark]

I wasnt thinking of stalking or even stickin my head in his gate,
Just a quick pic to show I've actually been there !
If I was a Rockstar it would piss me off having dudes always
trying to get in etc. But I reckon a fast pic wouldnt hurt anyone,
I wonder if a cabbie would take me there ???

[ace diamond]

well.....here is what spED has been up to. partying in his backyard..........again........
this video is very painful to watch..........fair warning.........

[Panamark]

ACE, that shit is old, 2004 hagar era ???

Pre haircut and porcelain teeth job....

[Panamark]

That first clip is crazy, I could play ATBL better, and I havent
played seriously for whatever duration it says my baby has been here in
my logo... Thats when the studio became the nursery and all
the audio gear and guitars were packed up...
Ed, its just a first posistion Am ??

He played it a lot better on the 3 parts Van Halen 1 part Roth tour...

[diamondsgirl]

well.....here is what spED has been up to. partying in his backyard..........again........

Thanks for the news, Tom Brokaw.

i know that.
but i am willing to venture that he is pretty much doing the same thing now.

[diamondsgirl]

i know that.
but i am willing to venture that he is pretty much doing the same thing now.

I doubt it. He hasnt seemed even slightly buzzed during his last few appearances. I think he's sober and enjoying the newlywed "stuff".

[Panamark]

He appears to be happier, "appears" is the magic word.
A nicer looking book cover doesnt mean a nicer story
within....
I hope he totally recovers, if so, he is my official, no shit,
hero !

[ZahZoo]

Speaking of Ed making bad music... never heard this before. Unreleased track from III.

[UK ROCKER]

Just goes to prove that you can't polish a turd.

[Panamark]

made it to 0.43... that was painful..

[Coyote]

Composition wise, it ain't bad...

It just lacks some soul/character/Dave.

[UK ROCKER]

Let's be honest here, Ed lost the plot 11 summers ago (Im being kind here)

If he gave that tune to Dave, do you think it would be much better, Lyrics yes it would. But it would still be the same shitty tune.

Please prove me wrong ED
