What Does History Teach Us?
An old e-article from CNN.com (Nov. 18th 2002) read,
"Not happy with Roth
Hagar said the possibility of rekindling his friendship with the Van Halen brothers was his primary motivation for touring with Roth, but he quickly realized a reunion would be impossible.
"Seeing what kind of person Dave is, now I know why they have never been able to do the reunion with him because he is unreasonable," Hagar said. "He's a complete nut. He is not an average bear. He's on the moon. He's unreasonable and he's shot."
Roth, who stopped giving interviews halfway through the tour, was unavailable for comment.
Though the Hagar-Roth-Van Halen "happy family" reunion he had hoped for didn't pan out, Hagar believes he will eventually reunite with the band.
"To me it is inevitable," he said. "I am not saying it is in the oven right now, but I know it is inevitable. It's just a matter of time when Eddie and Alex get their lives together ... You can't let such a great band like that just go away and die."
-- Sammy Hagar on David Lee Roth "
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought this was interesting. Nobody ever seems to ask Dave for his versions of the story. It is obvious from Spammy's response in this article that there was some conjobing backing his reasons for touring with Dave in 2002.
The article says, "Hagar said the possibility of rekindling his friendship with the Van Halen brothers was his primary motivation for touring with Roth."
Could anyone disagree after reading this and knowing what we know now in 2004 regarding Van Halen? Spammy knew what he was doing when touring with Dave. I wonder what Dave was thinking when he entered into this tour with Spam. How did he not notice the existing beneath the surface. Why did Roth EVER agree to this?
