Well, heads did roll, in a sense..... the first one being Cherone's (who ironically had very little involvement in that particular shitty track).
All reports from the Mushroom $tarks at the time suggests that Van Danniels second album was nearly complete in November 1999, when Ga y was unceremoniously dumped from the band. Logic suggests that WB heard a rough mix of the album, and knew it would tank as badly as VDIII did, so they told the band "Fuck this shit. Lose the ballerina and get Roth back in the band, or you're off the label"
Took another 6 years and three horrible new Hagar turds to do it, but WB finally made good on their threat. They even passed on the opportunity to release a REAL Van Halen hits compilation (one with no cheddar on it) to cash in on the 2007/08 reunion tour.
I'll bet someone at WB kicked themselves the moment "Tattoo" hit the airwaves, but after two shitbricks (VDIII and the Hagarized BOVII in 2004) in a row labeled "Van Halen", it seemed like a sound business move at the time to drop them.Eat Us And Smile

I think the lp cover to VH III was pretty accurate...the guy getting the cannon in the gut was the Van Halen fan baseI got lost in the...Comment

It comes as a surprise that you guys never had heard "HMSI" before now. Since we are in the middle of the lunchtime hour here on the East coast, I'll do you all a favor by NOT posting the live version, which would ruin your meal. The audience in the clip was similarly moved.
The follow-up to VHIII was being produced by Danny Kortchmar, who had worked wonders for Don Henley and a handful of other decidedly middle-of-the-road artists. His sole attempt at producing hard rock was Neil Young's virtually unlistenable album Landing on Water. One can only imagine how VH's album would have fared.

I first heard HMSI when they had the full album preview on the radio back in 1998.
I have not heard it since and have no desire to. Even for a laugh - because I wasn't laughing in 1998 nor would I be today if I listened to that piece of dung again.=V V=

You guys are complaining about How Many Say I and One Way to Rock.
trust me that's nothing compared to the Hag track "Let Sally drive"
If you ever hear that you will be that much more stupefied that the Hag could ever critique Tattoo.
makes Footnote sound like fuckin Mozart.Comment

I agree Nuno can play and Extreme has good background vocals. That Queen medely they did at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert was fantastic. Cherone seems like a good guy, I wish him no ill will.. its not like he tried to sweep the DLR catalog under the rug, he encouraged Ed to play more of those songs I believe for that VHIII tour.

That Freddie Mercury tribute was really amazing when you think of the combinations of people playing together that you'd never see.
You saw musicians out of their element or doing things they don't usually, like Iommi playing nonSabbath stuff for example.
anyone who likes even a little bit of the Queen catalog should check that one out.Comment
