New EVH interview (Washington Post, April 2nd)

[ELVIS]

I call bullshit on this one.

I call BS on everything that runs out of Edwad's mouth...

[Von Halen]

I just don't buy the 'didn't have time to make a record' line... why the fuck not? Was there a deadline? Was fatso-the-bass-player too busy recording his amazing solo album?

They didn't have time to record over the last two years?

You are really going to blame Wolf for that? Why, because he got tired of sitting around waiting on these guys, and went and recorded with Tremonti? Wolf dropped Tremonti the second these guys got off their asses. FACT!

As much as we all suck Dave's cock around here, can we really resist putting the onus on him? Dave's the one that's been in Japan the whole fucking time. Dave's the one that's probably been too busy getting tattoo's, to record an album. Dave's the one that seems to find anything to do, other than record a new album. Or work on his voice.

I am sick of making excuses for these fucking idiots. All of them.

[Von Halen]

That's what I was wondering... weren't those demos produced by Gene Simmons before WB got on board?

Does ANYBODY really believe Gene Simmons "lost" his Van Halen recordings?

[Bloomington]

I think alot of the old stuff may see the light of day when Warner Brothers decides to release it not Van Halen.

[philouze]

Does ANYBODY really believe Gene Simmons "lost" his Van Halen recordings?

He already lost his credibility, so anything can happen.

[philouze]

I call BS on everything that runs out of Edwad's mouth...

Fair enough, E.

[ELVIS]

I am sick of making excuses for these fucking idiots. All of them.

That's right, brother...

These people are sellouts and total scum...

They're not getting my money with their cash grab bullshit...

This 3/4 version of Van Halen is sub-par crap...

The Wolfie era is over...

I'd rather see them with Sammy and Michael Anthony at this point...

[ELVIS]

Fair enough, E.

That is fair because it's the truth...

The guy is a pathological liar, period...

[philouze]

You are really going to blame Wolf for that? Why, because he got tired of sitting around waiting on these guys, and went and recorded with Tremonti? Wolf dropped Tremonti the second these guys got off their asses. FACT!

I think Wolf dropped Tremonti because he had absolutely no choice at all.

[Von Halen]

I'd rather see them with Sammy and Michael Anthony at this point...

At this point, I'd rather see them with Gary Cherbone!

Hell, they should invite him out as a guest on this tour, and have a contest to see who can act more faggy onstage, him or Dave!!

[Von Halen]

I think Wolf dropped Tremonti because he had absolutely no choice at all.

Wolf is a grown fucking man, and he had no choice? Right. What, was he afraid if he told his Dad no, his Dad would start hitting the meth pipe again?

Fucking excuses.

[ELVIS]

At this point, I'd rather see them with Gary Cherbone!

Don't make me choke on my coffee like that...

[ELVIS]

Wolf is a grown fucking man, and he had no choice?

He lost that gig...

I'd be pissed if I were Delmonte...

Fat bass players are a nickel a dozen...

[philouze]

Wolf is a grown fucking man, and he had no choice? Right. What, was he afraid if he told his Dad no, his Dad would start hitting the meth pipe again?

Fucking excuses.

No, what I meant was: Wolfie wants to please his dad. And he knows that Mikey is persona non grata, as far as Ed is concerned. Nothing to do with "Wolf, you come with us or I'm going down the drain again"..

[ELVIS]

No, what I meant was: Wolfie wants to please his dad.

he should bake him a big fat cake...

[clarathecarrot]

Dear everyone,

Who has made a asinine comment in this thread about the article ...a comment like... Hey my name is clara I want you all to tell me how much money you made last year and how much you have in the bank and all the exact legal issues that have taken place in reference to your past salable items and holdings and who owns what and how have you constructed your will who get what.....and some account numbers so I can verify what you are saying isn't just none of my business.

I hope you see where I am going with this...Oh and I promise I wont write it in my editorial column in the newspaper I work for....C'MON!!!! tell me ...no one is looking....

better to say....that is lost as ED did........doofases.

You guys really trip off on shit.....

[philouze]

You guys really trip off on shit.....

Pot, meet kettle.

[DavidLeeNatra]

I'd rather see them with Sammy and Michael Anthony at this point...

be careful what you wish for...

[ELVIS]

You're the one tripping, carrot cake...

[ELVIS]

be careful what you wish for...

Dude, I really don't care at all anymore...

They're stabbing the fans in the back along with Michael Anthony...And Hagar...and G ry...

[VAiN]

Oh, I'm not putting it on Wolf.. just saying thats another distraction for Ed.. If they wanted to make an album they can. They have nothing holding them back. They work on their time.

[78/84 guy]

I call bullshit on this one. They just didn't want to release anything with Mikey on it. That's just my opinion. Call me nuts, but that's what I happen to think.

You just won a new Buick !!! Yeah that sums it up. Ed is full of shit.

[philouze]

you just won a new buick !!! Yeah that sums it up. Ed is full of shit.

Finally!!!

[78/84 guy]

You can't be serious. They deleted your post??

They deleted a few of mine the last couple times I posted there. One was I told a guy Hagar was a liar about being a pro boxer once, he never was. His dad was. I just corrected the Samboy and they deleted it.

Wow and I thought Sesh was a dictator...

yeah...the 07-tour was the long awaited party...enough booze to forget Micheal Anthony was missing and there were some drop outs here and there...

Last tour it was too much cheap booze so we saw the hangover coming...which is now...a hangover...so big that we never want to touch the booze again...oh and somebody left the vomit on the floor and called it a "live-CD"

to be fair...the band didn't change that much during the last eight years...we only got sober...

Post of the year. End of thread.

[78/84 guy]

And another was to the same guy who brought up the 4 number one albums with Sam, 0 with Dave. I said yeah they are real classics. Jack FM plays the ballads a few times a week otherwise you never hear that crap & the Dave albums have what ? 6-7 classic songs on each one. DELETED ! I think Jeff is turning into a fucking pussy over there. I mean come on !

[ELVIS]

I think Jeff is turning into a fucking pussy over there. I mean come on !

Turning into ??

It's the same way over here though...

[private parts]

My lord, Ed is incapable of taking responsibility isn't he?

I really don't fault Ed. I mean Dave is on the other side of the world playing Karate Kid, he won't sing certain songs cause he knows he can't,
he can't remember the lyrics, and really seems like he is not part of the "family". Not to mention ruining the legacy of this band in the public eye.

[hambon4lif]

If that's what you really think, then you should go over there for awhile and just be yourself. Afterward, you can come back here and let us all know how that worked out for ya'.

[private parts]

I think alot of the old stuff may see the light of day when Warner Brothers decides to release it not Van Halen.

I don't think any of it exists. Not the demos, not the Oakland footage, none of it. In this day and age when record companies are sucking wind to stay afloat,
don't you think they would try to sell anything and everything they got?

[Von Halen]

I don't think any of it exists. Not the demos, not the Oakland footage, none of it. In this day and age when record companies are sucking wind to stay afloat,

Then how did they rework all those old songs into ADKOT?

[ELVIS]

Youtube ??

[private parts]

I don't know. Somebody moved some money around and made it happen right? I just think Ed and everyone involved didn't have the wherewithal to keep up with all
the material that should have been archived.

[Von Halen]

he can't remember the lyrics, and really seems like he is not part of the "family". Not to mention ruining the legacy of this band in the public eye.

I guess Dave doesn't believe Ed is smart enough to pull a Neal Schon, and get some clone that will sing every song Ed tells him to sing. You motherfuckers can laugh all you want about that idea, but take a look at the tour grosses Journey has been pulling down the last few years. If Ed resigns himself to the idea that making new music is out of the question, I wouldn't be surprised to see him do just what Journey did.

By the way, I think more people leave during the solo's to get beer, than they do during the new songs they played. I don't think Ed is giving the newer songs enough credit. I'd like to see them add a couple more tunes off ADKOT.

Also, fuck an opening act. Just like in Japan, don't have one. Play a longer setlist. Even take an intermission break.

These motherfuckers need a fan running their show. They sure as fuck don't know what they're doing, or what we want.

[ZahZoo]

My lord, Ed is incapable of taking responsibility isn't he?

Common theme... the closer it revolves around him the more it's someone else's fault.

It must of been a lot of work fighting with a contractor over mold in his elevator shaft and remodeling the kitchen... ate up half of 2013 and all of 2014...

[private parts]

They treat this thing like a part time job during the holidays. Your either a full time rock band or your not. This half ass shit is ruining it for me.

[hambon4lif]

These motherfuckers need a fan running their show. They sure as fuck don't know what they're doing, or what we want.

That's exactly what my first impression was when I heard about this "Live CD" bullshit. To me it's just a bad move, and also an indication that the well is dry.
A fan would know better than that. A fan would go through the supposed 'vault' and put together something other fans would actually want, because evidently they're fucking clueless.

[Kristy]

Maybe 10 years from now stuff off of “A Different Kind of Truth” will be considered classic and people will want to hear those.

No maybe. It will still be considered a pile of shit as it rots in the $1.99 used bin.
