So, I met John 5 last night

[DONNIEP]

Warf - let's break out the torches and pitch forks and attack 5150 at midnight!!

[WARF]

Fuck Eddie Van Halen give us the John 5 album!

I'm sick of Alex Van Halen playing with his niece on stage!

[binnie]

Really, really cool to know.

How comes you managed to get backstage, Von?

You can tell Dave was absolutely miserable in 2013 live on stage, and it shows in his performances. Dave wants Michael Anthony back and the ONLY version of Van Halen that matters. ADKOT was a solid album but it's a beer coaster. I haven't listened to that album in over a year and find myself listening to the ONLY version of Van Halen that mattered. The six pack. I think the fantasy of having DLR Back in Van Halen was greater than the reality of the situation. I was so excited to see DLR back in the band it distracted me from the reality that this is in fact a half assed reunion. Don't get me wrong ADKOT was a good album (although I like the demos better) it was basically just a Roth solo album with Ed on guitar. It doesn't sound like Van Halen without Michael Anthony's high tenor harmonies.

Bring back Michael Anthony or retire. I'm tired of DLR having to kneel before the Van Halen sisters! He's miserable. Wolfgang can tour with Tremonti and Ed can make shitty rap records with LL Cool J.... but Dave can't even release a fucking album with John 5??? We all know Ed is gonna relapse eventually so why even wait??? Come on Dave, start a war with Mr. Sticks and Mr. Fingers! Free yourself of the mental slavery of Van Halen. Ed will NEVER give us the REAL lineup of Van Halen.

Bring back the DLR Band! I wanna see Dave happy again!!

I think I hate you again.

"We all know Ed is gonna relapse eventually so why even wait???"

That is so fucking classless it's not even funny.

[DONNIEP]

I think I hate you again.

You're waaayyyy down on the list ha!

[DONNIEP]

Let's all send a case of Smokin' Loon to Ed's house!! Merry Christmas, you crotchety old bastard!

We'll get Ed so loaded up on booze, that he'll take away his son's internet access and force him to get a job!

[DONNIEP]

Wolfe can get a job at the Golden Corral!! Although he may be overqualified!

[vandeleur]

Bet you fuckers mod Wolfe before c dog

[DONNIEP]

Bet you fuckers mod Wolfe before c dog

I'll make Wolfie a webbie! That way he can post kitty cat pictures all day long!

[ThatArtGuy]

Warf, I have to call you out on this one. Drunk Ed is a good thing? WTH? If we have drunk Ed, then we get a man who passes out underneath his baby grand after hitting his head on it, bleeding on the floor. Ed finally got himself better. Let him have some peace. Dave spent most of the late 90s and early 00s staying in shape just to get back into VH, and NOW you want him to drop everything like a hot potato? Ummm... no.

The stuff with John 5 will get released; eventually. (Yes, I correctly used a semicolon.)
