Fat Sammy would name his band after food.
F-18's are easy planes to maintain as well. Everything is modules. If you have a problem you simply replace the module instead of trying to trouble shoot the exact problem. They are great looking aircraft as well.
Unless you worked on a bomb rack that goes on an F-18. Holy shit are those BRU-32's and 33's complicated! You have to be careful in making sure the moving mechanical parts don't snag the wires. It's like trying to put together a 3D 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle.
It was like one big road crew. But if it was an Iraq deployment, that meant no booze, no porn and worst of all no poon-tang!
Couldn't wait to get out of that hell hole and I don't plan on returning. Basically it wasn't a WINNING environment.
I'm talking about the electronics on the airplane. I would imagine those same bomb racks are on other planes as well since some of those weapons are used with different planes. It sounds like those are designed for a reliability problem if the wires can get in the way of moving mechanical parts. You would think they were have a nice, neat wiring loom out of the way of all that. Military wiring is suppossed to be nice and neat for that very reason.
There's a guy in Driggs, Idaho that has some old eastern block jets he's got flying again. Typical communist construction. Poor fit and finish and the riveting is horrible. Function wise they are great and actually the layout and design of the systems is excellent. Easy planes to work on actually. Getting parts is the problem. I've volunteered to work on some of those to help him keep them flying.

You would have loved the Sammy Hagar insult generator. That was the best part of the main page for a while.
I can't believe Hagar is telling VH not to put out mediocre music after Hagar puts out drivel like Let Sally Drive.
He's always so far out of his league musically when he talks about those guys when he should be grateful they had a lapse in judgement and let him in in the first place.
I hate working on shit that could be designed better and I appreciate stuff that they thought the whole system out. So many things are put together by separate committees and then you have a hodgepodge instead of a system. The company that made those bomb racks probably paid enough politicians or military brass off with whores and drinks. LOL!
Sammy Hagar could have been designed better. Good going God. You fucked up there.
I have thought about doing something like that, as I have 12 years experience with rivet-gun in hand.
The last couple of years I did at Boeing, I was on a crack structural assembly squad whose sole job was to fix all the fuckups made by other less capable sheet-metal mechanics on the 737 fuselage assembly line.
Always wanted to help out in restoring classic warbirds like P-51s, P-38s or P-40s.
Only thing is, my hearing is shot enough as it is, due to decades of blasting out metal music from my stereo, as well as being in bands and blasting out of my 100W Marshall half-stack, not to mention 40-80 hours a week spent in high-noise environments.
What ended my career as a sheet-metal god was the day I had just got done shooting several thousand rivets and my thumb went numb. Supervisor was smart. Ordered me to first-aid, and I never picked up another rivet gun again.
Am glad to be out of that biz.....the benefits and pay were kickass, but the corporate factory bullshit was unreal.
But it would be cool to work on such great old fighter planes.
Hagar and F-18's being mentioned in the same thread shouldn't even be a thought, much less a typed out post. But....
I digress
what ever happened to that damned thing?
i loved the random sammy hagar insult generator.
let's start a petition to sarge to bring that fun little toy back.........
i used to spend quite a bit of time seeing how much shit that thing came up with and just dying of laughter
while drunk and stoned.
Thrills brought up another good point (as pointed out by Ace).
Spamulus Flatulus continually runs his mouth about how they should put out 'good' music, when he would not know the first thing about it.
Good music as opposed to the crap he put out in Van Hagar?
UuhuhhuuhhuuhUHuhuhuhuhh.....just finished the Rolling Stone article.......
'member back in 2004? The Fleece the Sheep Tour....when Speddie would go into that awful dreck he tried to pass off as a "solo"?
UHuHUhuUhhuhuhuhuuhhuhuhuhu...and the sheep would try and float lame excuses like "...he's just improvising"????
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You sorry BASTURDS!!! Even Spammie Haggis knew you were being cheated on a nightyly basis....in those 1/2 full halls....
of course...he STILL took your money.....YOU FUCKING SHEEP!!!
Well just those two racks were a pain in the ass and were only used on the F/A-18. Everything else was easy to fix.
I must admit, reading about some of the details of the ill-fated 2004 tour is pretty fascinating, like watching one of those police chase/car wreck/deadly explosions documentaries. For those interested (and can put aside who is doing the talking), you can skim what seems to be a large segment (22 pages of paragraphs) of this chapter at the following link:
Rolling Stone Exclusive Excerpt: Surviving Eddie
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”― Stephen Hawking
That was interesting.
Another time, Toby Keith came to see us in Oklahoma City, not far from his hometown. I decided to do his "I Love This Bar" during my acoustic segment and Toby would walk out midway through the song and sing the rest of it with me. Toby told me that while he was waiting backstage, Eddie cornered him and tried to keep him from going out: "Why would you want to go on with him?" Ed asked. "Why didn't you come out with us?" "You didn't invite me," Toby said. "I'm inviting you now," Eddie said. "Why are you wearing that cowboy hat?" "I'm a country guy," said Toby. "No, it's because you're bald," said Eddie.
He's lucky that big Okie didn't kick his ass!
Oh man, not even a cup would stop Eddie's balls from being smashed by a swift kick from Toby Keith's cowboy boot.
A few things to keep in mind as you read this is......
1) Hagar is a chronic whiner. It's the one thing he does better than anyone on Earth, temper tantrums. He spent the entire Roth/Hagar tour (and his entire career for that matter) acting like a total infant that needed to sit in a 'time-out' chair. Bitching, moaning, complaining......
2) He's trying to sell a book. 'Nuff said.
The fact that he's now running his mouth to the press that he "vows to be the frontman for Van Halen", even after putting out this slanderous book, tells me what I always knew....he's not a "reality-based" individual.
If anything, the timing is absolutely shrewd on his part. Think about it, Chickenfood is in the midst of a break, and there are rumors of Van Halen's recording sessions for a (supposed) release later in the year. What better time to chuck this "book" out and capitalize on things? More than likely, he probably had a look at the way Valerie Bertinelli's book and career took off, no doubt fomented by mentions of her life and marriage with Edward Van Halen. Now all he has to do is appear on Oprah (or more fittingly, William Shatner's Raw Nerve, because Shatner can make watching paint dry appear to be interesting) and sign up with a Jenny Craig or Subway diet plan. It's a keen way of resurrecting a career without requiring any use of talent, something Hagar never had a great amount of in the first place.

I'd say the only surprising thing about that is why it hasn't already happened.
Seriously, I don't doubt it, or something very much like it, will happen in the not so distant future. Sam's not getting any younger... So any shred of credibility that he holds is quickly fading. Better cash in quick!!I'd say the only surprising thing about that is why it hasn't already happened.
That and nobody cares what Sammy has to say unless he is talking about Eddie. Did you notice the RS slide show that accompanied the article? Every picture (except one) is Eddie. So even when promoting his own book, Sammy can't get out of Eddie's shadow.
He already did. He sold 80 percent of his Cabo Wabo tequila business to Gruppo Campari for $80 million. This isn't about money for Sammy, he's set. It's about attention. Like showing up at the RARHOF to accept Van Halens award. He wants to be remembered as more than the marginal musical figure he is.
You mean this guy?Oh man, not even a cup would stop Eddie's balls from being smashed by a swift kick from Toby Keith's cowboy boot.
He could probably still beat down a coked up EVH, but as fake cowboys go, he's the fakest. And I'm pretty sure Eddie's right about the hat.
You should hear some of the stories my friend's son (who is serving in the military) tells of Keith's "humanitarian" efforts while touring bases in the middle east. When the cameras are not on the guy, he acts like a selfish, insufferable prima dona, more given to self-promotion than self-sacrifice, and behaves as if the war was somehow arranged for his benefit so therefor should run according to his schedule.
Classless.
Hagar's a calculated businessman who knows people want to see the road kill.
Now he just exploits Ed's problems when he was at his worst while saying he has a 90 percent chance of being the frontman? If Ed's that horrible then why does Hagar claim to want to be back there? One reason. Because he's not there now and Dave is.
Yeah, he finished the up for breakfast vocals quickly. God bless him. Who wants to listen to it ? Is the measure of a good tune how fast you can cut it? Sore of Infection was a good quick one to write. It's just single syllables. I think they flew in Elvis to help write it.Wasn't there a "hmm" in verse 2?
The article's there to sell books.
Basically it's saying thanks Ed for the success, now I'm selling you out because deep down I know I'm irrelevant otherwise.
I hope there's a new album and it's phenomenal to the point where nobody cares about Hagar interviews about the past and not the now.
More Hagar spew...
Click... Sammy Hagar: "I don't see a new Van Halen record happening"
Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!
It always amuses me when an entertainer claims to want to "give something to the fans", yet feels no compunction about charging them for said "gift".
Man, Sammy loves him some Sammy. I love the part where he asks him why he's always getting kicked out of bands. "Because I'm a natural leader!"Or maybe it's cause your a natural a**hole.
Wow. Just read the whole thing. Fatty really takes the piss outta the brothers.
And of course he takes the high ground. What a unconscionable turd.
Not saying it aint true, Im sure most of it is....
Fuck Scott Weiland. Fucking asshole. I get trashed all the time and still go to work. And my job sucks ass. -ODShowtime
So let's recap:
According to Sam: There's a 90% chance he will once again be in a band called VH if Ed is different than he was which he appears to be. But there's no chance of them making a record but if they do make one it better be good.
Is he trying to confuse his fans?
Sammy has fans? I thought he lost those when he sang "I Can't drive 55"? When the best thing on your resume is "I'm the guy Van Halen brought in after Dave" I think it is time to shut up and retire from the music business.
I've been wise to this cocksuckers 'smoke and mirrors' game from the very beginning. No matter how low you set the bar for truth or class, Sam will somehow slither under it.
Think about it, has anyone reading this post, in any group of people, in any part of society, ever heard someone say "Man, I can't wait for the new Van Hagar record!". Out of extreme sarcasm, I may have said it once or twice to get a laugh, but have you ever heard anyone say that and mean it? ever?
You know why you haven't? BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE DO NOT EXIST! There is absolutely zero demand, and he's making that shit up.
He is a prolific liar, so what leads me to believe there is any truth in this book whatsoever? He'd put tickets to his mothers asshole inside the book if he thought it would sell a copy! And if he was going to re-join Van Halen, he wouldn't be writing it in the first fucking place. He's doing it because he knows his game is over, and the Van Halen gig has returned to its rightful owner.
I can think of a million better ways to spend my time than to read sour grapes from an irrelevant lying shitbag of a human being.
Fuck that loser....AND his dumbass book.

I'm surprised Sammy hasn't started a northern California UFO and spiritual sanctuary in Marin County. I'm surprised he isn't selling magical red crystals that have soaked up magical vortex energy in Cabo and if you wear them, they protect you from all harm.
That's the next book.

There's an excerpt in the new RS (I got a free subscription when I bought tix from Ticketmaster). He said thet when he first joined VH, David Geffen asked why he wanted to join VH since he "is as big solo as VH is". Delusional to say the least. He also says thet VH sold 50-60 million albums w him. The RIAA has VH at 56 million albums sold as of 2010.
When the shit hits the fan, close your mouth and duck.
