Jones Just Stopping In To Say Hello...

[ELVIS]

Of course, then the hard drive I had that song on up and died and it's unrecoverable (along with a lot of other shit from those years that I'll never get back)

The BCE can recover it for you...

[ZahZoo]

Hmmm I posted at Slaughterhouse some... yeah the neon orange shit was terrible... not to mention the server was so slow it was probably put up on a 56k modem and all the huge pictures just made it unreadable. Don't remember many of the old members much... that was a very transitional time for the web in general and the birth period of VH related web sites. The more I think of it... Van Halen and Roth related web material was really pretty pioneering in the early days of the internet for big bands.

I talked to Eddie on AOL one night in late 1995.

I read a People Magazine blurb that Valerie was really into this new thing called the "Internet" and she often visited Usenet groups and the VHML to post updates about the band. So I did a search on AOL one night and saw a user name of "Ed Van Halen" and IM'ed him and he responded. I asked him if he was the real EVH and he said "yes". I made some small talk about "Balance" and then told him he was the greatest guitarist who ever lived. He said "thanks, I appreciate that".

I realize anybody could fake a user name on AOL back then, but I honestly feel like it was the real Eddie Van Halen talking to me that night.

Hell, they are probably the ones who fried it in the first place.

I remember Slawterhouse but never posted. I was a rookie internet boy back then, don't think I would have known what a "forum" was. LOL.

I remember some Dave: Crazy From The Heat audio and perhaps a lot of orange on the site. I remember the "new released song" Look At All The People Here Tonight!

That song was whacked! I was both repulsed and loving it at the same time.

"Fuck the concert, let's go across the street and get ourselves a drink, right here I say!"

Yeah, I was a rookie too. Had never seen forums before. I do recall thinking "what the fuck" though.

[DONNIEP]

Yeah, I was a rookie too. Had never seen forums before. I do recall thinking "what the fuck" though.

I didn't post in the Slawterhouse forum. I had no idea what the hell a forum was The first forum I joined was DDLR. Then I came over here when it crashed the first time and I ran for the hills

[Satan]

FORD and my Most Unholy self spent so much time at Slawterhouse that a lot of the mortals there thought WE were "The Keepers"

But of course we weren't. If you want to know the identities of The Keepers, just read the liner notes of the DLR Band CD. Everything you need to know is in there.

[DFVH5150]

I was "Me Wise Vinnie," "K.Y. Vinnie," "Tickle Me Vinnie," and I can't remember the rest. I don't think I posted that much so I doubt anyone remembers. Does anyone remember "Realrocker?" Or was that the DLRML? I enjoyed him. We had fun together.

[Little Texan]

I used to go by the "Big Trouble '77" handle back in those days, and I posted exclusively in the Slawterhouse Lounge. I never even registered for the neon orange Backyard BBQ forums or whatever it was called, as I was a member at the Van Hagar Stinks by that time and then became a member here when this place opened up and never went back.

Old School Slawterhouse...

Me, Brownsound, Slawterhouse Bug, RB&W, FORD... I still have my Slawterhouse shirt somewhere, was it South Texas Rocker (or someone from SoCal) who made them way back in 2001? Remember the dustup at some radio station with drama and DJs and such ensuing. I only vaguely recall details, but Slawterhouse had its moments...

Yeah, the color scheme left a lot to be desired...

Thread necromancy...don't like it? Tough! I have seniority.

I have fond memories of Slawterhouse, especially during the Betty Page era. All of the folks conmee listed, plus Corrinne, I remember well. Hard to believe that was in the 90's. Where has the time gone?

Sundog made those shirts. There used to be a radio DJ named Carol Springer where one night someone tried to break into the radio station and she was posting about it. We kind of joked about having a Slawterhouse Security crew. Peroxide designed the graffic and Sundog had the shirts made. I have a picture of Coreene in her equestrian fineness somewhere. I have a picture of Sundog stranded in the hills because his bike peddle fell off. LOL! Yeah I remember those days. Time does fly by.

Val did hang around in a Van Halen forum in those days. I forgot which one.

I was dissapointed. I thought Dave would use the internet to take his Dave TV concept further. He's kind of doing it now but it's the old Dave. I would say the Roth Army was the fan site that really did a great job in the early days. You could tell someone gave a damn and put a lot of effort into making the site worthy of Dave's image. The other VH sites kind of seemed faggy. LOL! The Army is where you needed to have a thick skin and it was wild for sure. If your feelings got hurt well, fuck you! LOL!

Blame all that shit on Janie!

She aint never havin' a kid with Ed, so the yappy little mutt is the only outlet for her motherly instincts.

Trust me, if Janie popped out a baby we'd never be hearing a peep about "Kody Van Halen".

I think there is truth to your words. I hope Ed knocks the bitch up. Have a kid. You will just look back at the missed opportunity in your older years and wish you did. Plus, that will shut her up about the damn dog.
