    I might try to catch Satch on tour in any case...
    I have seen him play live about 5-6 times. Worth seeing for sure

It was supposed to just be a practice space for Ed but Ed bought a bunch of used studio equipment and Donn Landee hooked it all up.
      You're so full of shit. That was Thomas Dolby. Yeah, that Thomas Dolby who Ed called personally on what was required in building a professional studio. Tom did it Quid pro quo if Ed played on one of his albums.


      Which he did:

        Oh so Thomas Dolby was the head contractor and ran the construction crew. I see. I guess you know more about it than David Bertinelli does.

          Please shut the fuck up.

          Go back to your "stories" of how you flew "choppers" in Viet Nam with Ted Nugent

            Naw. Sammy Hagar is Ted Nugent’s little buddy. Sam likes tall rugged men.

              DAVID LEE ROTH Is 'Holding Up' VAN HALEN Tribute Project, Says Radio Personality EDDIE TRUNK
              David Lee Roth is the main reason the proposed all-star VAN HALEN tribute project has yet to move forward, according to SiriusXM radio personality Eddie Trunk. No progress has been reported on a possible VAN HALEN tribute concert since April when former METALLICA bassist Jason Newsted revealed to Th...

                I dunno.

                It wouldn't be hard to imagine that the remaining principals - Roth, Alex, Michael Anthony, Wolfgang...what the hell, throw Hagar in there - wouldn't agree on what would constitute a fitting tribute to Eddie Van Halen at this point, or what form said tribute should take.

                Maybe they do. Who the fuck knows?

                The thing of it is...the band were sort of able in the last decade of their existence to get themselves sorted out to the point where they could perform the CVH stuff live and it sounded good, and sometimes even great. But the key factor there is that it took them that long just to be able to sort themselves out and get to that point...and this was while Eddie was still alive.

                There's also the aspect of timing, in that it feels to me this tribute should have already taken place last year if it was going to happen at all.

                  Yeah, you're probably right about that.
                  The longer it takes (if anything does happen,) people will be like "WTF took so long?!" and that overshadows the event/tour/tribute/whatever...

                      He is now. I do hope he is holding up this terrible idea for a tribute show or whatever that will undoubtedly feature - much like those horrible tribute albums that have come out in previous decades that I am sure you may have come across - a ton of geetar shredders and EVH wannabees. To fucking hell with that.

                      That ain't what VH was for me. It was DLR + EVH, then the other two.

                      Just let it lie, FFS.

                      One of the apparent paradoxes for me about VH is that while they were great at covering other people's tunes, everyone who tries to cover them is shit.

                      Why the hell is that?

                      For one it's cos no one can do Roth. It's because they don't get his influences.

                        Yay! Way to go Dave!! I can’t wait to see Sammy Square Pants Hagar come out publicly and scold Dave for ruining another opportunity for Sam to self-promote himself.

                              Sam is such a tool.

                              One of the supposed big reasons nothing happened with a tribute is the fact that Alex didn't want you there and wants nothing to do with you. Assclown.

                              Dave wanted Mike. Mike then wanted Sam. Alex said no to Sam hence why Newstead was brought into the convo.

                              Something like that.

                                Hagar said something in a recent interview along the lines of both he and Mike have tried to contact Alex a few times since Ed passed away, but Alex hasn't returned either of their calls.

                                A lame thing to talk about in an interview.

                                Like, so now we've gone from Sam talking about how he spoke with Ed in the last year of his life to Sam talking about how neither he nor Mike has spoken to Alex since Ed died?

                                There's just no bottom with Hagar re: talking about Van Halen in interviews.

                                It's like, fuck, dude, just say "I was in the band, I had a great time when I was in the band, it ended badly, the reunion tour wasn't great, I wish it could have ended a better way, it didn't. Ed, sadly, has passed. That's it. There's nothing left to say, because everything else I mentioned has been talked about a million times before." Don't act like some sulking teenager whining about being ghosted.
