"Tribute" Tour with Dave, Al and Satch

[Romeo Delight]

I think Joe Satriani is closer to Ed in tone than Steve Vai ever was, but even still and as good as Satch is there will be something missing...

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

Who remodeled an existing building into 5150 was Drew Bertinelli. Ed playing music in the main house was driving Valerie nuts because she had to be at shoots early in the morning and Ed is a night owl. I had a chat with David Bertinelli and he told me some great stories about 5150. 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:



Quit making shit up just to make shit up

[Nitro Express]

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.

[Kristy]

Please shut the fuck up.

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

[Nitro Express]

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

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.

...wouldn't agree on what would constitute a fitting tribute ....

Don't be surprised if it turns out to be "couldn't agree on what could..."

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...

[Hellraiser!!]

Van Halen IS David Lee Roth

[VHscraps]

Van Halen IS David Lee Roth

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.
