Dave: "I'm Retiring"

[WARF]

If VH dies in order of importance to the band, then we can expect Dave to go next, followed soon thereafter by Al and then Mike. By that logic, Sammy has another solid 25-30 years of life ahead of him.

Hagar will outlive them all because he is a tremendous cunt.

[Jérôme Frenchise]

Dave is having back problems apparently, but who said he was seriously ill?

A bad back wouldn't put him in Ed's rearview mirror.

[twonabomber]

So this "real music observer" turd on YouTube cites an article about the retirement that was posted on some Indian (dot not feather Indian, call center not casino Indian) news site.

Roth also revealed that the original Van Halen drummer Alex Van Halen will be part of his band for the final five dates in January.

WHERE in that recorded statement does that come up?

Dave says "I've got a band that is doing what Al and I used to call a 'block,' that means 75 rehearsals for one show. We are bringing it in classic VH style."

Dave and his backing band are going to bring it in classic VH style. Not that he and Al are bringing it in classic VH style.

When did you ever see Al sit in with anyone without Ed? Ed did a few things here and there. NAMM show jams, that thing on VH1 with Itchie Sambora, Beat It, the Thomas Dolby tracks, producing Private Life.

When January comes and I'm wrong I will admit I was wrong. When I'm proven right I won't gloat but you all can kiss my ass

You're probably right. I haven't heard anything from Dave that Al is in. Call it wishful thinking from fans, or a desperate attempt to get attention by losers with a youtube channel.
I expect Dave to bring everything that he has to these last shows, and I'll be very surprised if there are no special guests at the last show.

Yeah, it looks like some third rate "music media" wannabe sites took Dave's cryptic comments about Alex and jumped to their own conclusions. It's certainly possible to interpret Dave's comments that way, but irresponsible as Hell to write an article with a definite statement that Al is playing the gig, based on that interpretation with zero corroborating evidence. If one were to read this much into Dave's comments, he also said that he "won't speak for Al", which would imply that Alex would have to verify for himself whether or not he would be involved in the shows.

But when was the last time Alex Van Halen did an interview?? So, it's highly unlikely that anybody got confirmation from him. Or denial, for that matter.

I fucking hate that douchebag “harmless Dave” a total fucking Hagar loyalist. In another video he’s entertaining the idea that VH should carry on with Hagar, Alex, Mike and Wolf on guitar.

He’s been trashing Dave on his channel for years…. He also just said the guitar player from Chicago is better than Ed lol

He's definitely swinging from Hagar's nutsack.

Maybe he's Heater lol

Wolfgang is another good point. He says he won't play VH in his shows, maybe he doesn't want to play VH without his dad.

And Dave says there will be no further statement.

This is going to turn into a Links style shitshow. "Oh, Dave said THIS!" No he didn't. Use your fucking head. Are you new here? lol

[FORD]

The "real music observer" tool is such an obvious Hagar sheep that he makes Eddie Trunk look reasonable, by comparison.

[Kristy]

Yeah, he's old.

Eddie Trunk is probably his mentor…. They’re both fat and have the same haircut.

They probably both shower 5 times a month combined.

That sounds like Dave won't say Al is retiring, not if he was going to be at the last shows.

[FORD]

Yeah, that's a completely valid interpretation. I just read it as Dave being Dave and saying as little as possible. Sort of like he did a couple of years ago when he commented on the "end of Van Halen' and said "Eddie has his story to tell" without actually coming out and saying that Eddie's health was rapidly going downhill and he wasn't able to tour.

[Kristy]

Roth is going to be deader than slave FORD's social safety net soon. Roth more than hinted at it himself. My guess? Some sort of intestinal cancer. Otherwise, why would Al be speaking to him? Those two hate the bejesus fuck out of each other. Something is a (Big)foot here.
