Dave 'I'm in...'

[Seshmeister]

On the new Roth show

“It’s not like my career path is going to get altered,” said Dave. “I sort of know what the next ten summers are going to bring – Eddie Van Halen aside, those are ups and downs.

“I don’t know when we’re going to tour but I have a sense that we will; I don’t know that we’re going to record again – when that’ll happen – but I have a sense that it’s gonna happen.”

But in the mean while I am going to listen to a lot of ambient drum and bass by dj bassy drum and some Motown to get me in the van halen mood .

I think it's best to treat the Roth Show like radio and have it on while you are also doing stuff.

I was listening to the Hendrix one today it's good.

Dave: New Album eventually and tour

Great to hear this. With Spammy sucking up to Eddie ( again ) sending him the happy birthday note it had many wondering if he would be back with Van Halen. Can't imagine Dave putting this out there if he didn't really believe it would happen. Spammy's chance to be relevant again doesn't sound too promising! All of the Spammy lovers are surely crying and chugging the Spammy Rum.

Was it not the other stuff you were doing was really really good

[DONNIEP]

Remember the 5,000 show European Mega Tour? Dave tends to say what he would like to see happen instead of what's really going to happen. I'm not saying Dave won't be touring again with VH in maybe three or five years. But I'd be willing to bet he has as much an idea what OBC and Spock want to do as we do. Bottom line is the clock is ticking. VH ain't gonna get better as the years go by, that's for sure.

Wonder what they're gonna do for their next record - re-record the songs off the last one with new lyrics? Ed can't write a song by himself and if Dave's not there to take his bits and pieces of geetar twangin and make them into songs then they're gonna have a hard time making a new record unless they use more old material.

Sometimes it feels like Dave makes things up

Weirdly the dave tomorrow never knows always seemed quite cool.

Is that meant to be a fucking haiku or something?

It's a sad indictment of Tory education cuts in the 80's

Who and why has been answered. When and where?

"The next ten summers"?

The last two tours saw Roth struggling to just sing the tunes properly, with the 2015 tour markedly worse than the 2012 one.

I'm with DONNIEP in that Van Halen - and Roth in particular - aren't at a point where things can improve. Dave's abilities have been slowly waning for years. vande's right: Dave is just making this shit up as he goes along.

What, you can't translate it? I woulda thought there would be more overlap in Geordie and Scottish. Hell, sometimes I think the two of you are the only people who understand just what the hell you're trying to say

It's an alcohol thing , when you read my posts do it with a slur, it helps.
