Who do Ed and Al hate more - Dave or Sammy?

[ELVIS]

I dunno. Sounded like he was just talking his way through that one, kind of like the acoustic version he had done a year or two earlier. There are some Mean Street clips from this last tour that I thought Dave sounded better on than he did in 07-08.

Maybe you should listen again...

The lower key and tone suits Dave much better than cringe yelps...

[ELVIS]

Dave sounds good here too...

I'll give another listen. I'm not one for the cringe yelps but there's no reason he can't pull out that tune a little closer to the album, register wise. It's not too high and not too low to begin with.

Dave sounds 1000 FUCKING TIMES better in that clip than he did last tour...

I hope he gets it back before Ed falls off the wagon again...

Lmao Funny how it is... They need to be synched so they don't all suck att the same time

Actually they were far better and even sucked at performances better in their younger day... geez some of the performances during the 1984 tour were terrible due to how drunk/high the band was getting.

But then fast forward to 2000 - 2006... they took sucking and poor performances to a new level.

Sounds odd thinking it... but when you're young and great like CVH... you were still better when you performed poorly than most at their best. When you are old today like CVH when you suck... you suck... and you're old.

Who do Ed and Al hate more - Dave or Sammy?

1985 to September 1996 Dave
1997 till ??? Dave AND Sammy
June 1996 to sometime 2004 Sammy

Ah, fuck it. Who cares? :smile:

[sadaist]

If you read and keep up with the articles, dolt, you'd know that Dave and Al regularly talk on the phone...

Yes. But to each other?

[IceCreamBlondie]

Clearly Sammy or they would be making music with him instead.

Agreed, Sadaist. They'd rather put out a new album w Dave and go on tour with him instead of Spammy. Enough said.

True indeed.

One of my favorite club days boots is the Golden West Ballroom show from '76. The band, Dave in particular, gets completely obliterated during this show. This clip opens with a very loopy and feelin' good Dave rapping himself to sleep practically about "all the pretty giiirrrlls.... comin' round.... to tahk to usss". They then go on to pull out a ripping version of the lost classic Babe Don't Leave Me Alone. Great harmonies, great drums, great so, great vibe and while there is no video, I believe no one fell down! Are there better versions? Sure, but I love how these guys went about their business as kids.

“And whatever that led to, I wouldn’t say, ‘Hey, let’s get together and do it again,’ because you would have to do that slow, because I would never do it again under the last circumstances. But I would do it again under different circumstances. So it’d be like that. And then I would also say, ‘And also here’s Mikey’s phone numbers with mine.’ [laughs]“

How many times do you think that idiot has answered the same exact "what if" question since the end of the '04 mess? His response always hits the press with a heading of "Hagar would entertain playing in VH again" as if feelers were put out to see if he'd rejoin the band. He's asked that question so much because the people who run in to that turd have no idea what else to ask him!! He dove into his response to this latest nitwit's query as if he spent a decades worth of nights laying awake wondering how he could get back in and look like some sort of savior while doing it, and he still stuttered out some b.s. about how things would have to go down if the band were ever to be graced with his presence again. Will he ever realize that his presence is not being requested? There's a better question.
