    And, of course, 'Mr. Fucking Know-It-All Can Never Shut The Fuck Up' only helps the system. Fuck him and his warped attitude.

    Selling out still beats being a waitress at Denny's. As long as it buys you nicer shoes and handbags, who gives a fuck. Right?

    I don't have a problem with professional musicians taking money to endorse products. If Van Halen decided to take money to give someone permission to use their music in their advertisements and commercials it wouldn't bother me a bit. Anybody who's in the music business is in it to make money.

    It's called making a living. People bitch at you when you sell out and they laugh at you when you have no money. Then you sell out by doing a "Where are they now?" reality type drivel show because you need to eat.

    Everyone sells out. Including the people on welfare. They sell their votes for a handout from the politicians. You can suck dick on the casting couch or be a welfare whore keeping corrupt politicians in office. It's all whoring it's just that some whores live better than others and that's all based on how replaceable you are.

    I had a boss when I was telemarketing who wore a shirt that said We're All Prostitutes. After I found out the company was just a scam to rip off senior citizens I quit. He didn't have a problem with me quitting without notice because he knew I knew what was really going on. When I came back to get my paycheck the owners where sitting at his desk giving me the stink eye. I told him I knew why he wore that shit now and he just looked at me like a scalded dog. He didn't just sell out. He sold his soul to those people. No wonder he was an alcoholic.

    There's always that invisible line between making money and giving the fans what they want vs. milking you fans for all their worth with coffins, condoms or whatever other types of expensive shite. Gene crossed that line and has flown past Saturn.

    Let's also not forget the most important fact here! Gene is the same fucker who suggested that Van Halen look for another singer back in 1976. So fuck that puffy face ugly son of a bitch!

    Just a couple Israeli dudes and a flunky running a call center. I suspected they were con artists from the first day but I didn't know for sure until I googled the address of the supposed home office and found out it was a post office box. I still kept the job until I overheard a disgruntled customer on the phone accusing them of sabotaging her air conditioner. She said she could prove it with pictures taken just a week before during a home inspection by her insurance company. I had gotten to work early and was eating a breakfast burrito in the break room and nobody noticed I was there. I heard the whole conversation on the speakerphone. I was gonna quit right then but I stayed until the end of the day to think it over. As soon as I punched out I quit.

    Well, that and the fact that aside from KISS, they put all their eggs in the disco basket. When disco died, so did their label. KISS was their only remaining cash cow, and they started making less cash for the label with everything after Dynasty.

    If they had signed Van Halen when Chaim brought them the demo, they might have been able to keep the label solvent.... well at least until 1985 (assuming Dave still left the band then, in this parallel reality scenario)

    But if =VH= signed with Casablanca, then Ted Templeman wouldn't be able to work his magic on the six-pack.

    It was Dave Aucoin. He said if he would have seen Van Halen on their home turf in the LA clubs he probably would have signed them. He said he made the mistake of now going out to LA.

    Yeah, it's hard to imagine what those records might have sounded like with another producer.

    Who was producing KISS back in those days? Bob Ezrin, wasn't it? Of course he also produced "The Wall" for Pink Floyd, and that was a great record, so it might have worked out alright, though Mikey's vocals probably wouldn't have been as prominent in the mix, since that was Templeman's biggest contribution to the sound, how he arranged the vocals.

    I must have had David Lee Roth on my mind. Proof I'm a true fan. I always found Bill Aucoin a bit creepy. More creepy than Gene in fact.
