singers for eddie first album's solo??

[frenchie]

give ten singers you like to hear on eddie van halen first album for 2005;
izzy stradlin'
dave matthews
chris martin from COLDPLAY
eddie veder
robert plant
alanis morisette
bruce springsteen
chris cornell
ozzy osbourne
me!!!!

[Figs]

Chris Cornell
Henry Rollins
That dude from Jet

[Terry]

No singers at all.

Eddie's first true-blue solo album should be entirely instrumental. Just a rip-roaring shredfest of guitar. Obviously AVH would provide the percussion, and Ed can do the bass/synth/piano/tuba (hee hee), and stun us all with some Grade A new guitar work (presuming he's capable of it).

Doing anything with a singer is gonna invite comparsions with classic VH, and any guest singer will undoubtedly throw in a bunch of half-assed Rothisms performance-wise, so why bother?

Van Halen 3 was essentially an Eddie Van Halen solo album with a guest vocalist anyway.

[frenchie]

but as a first eddie van halen solo album, van halen 3 was not so bad.i know i'm the only one to think that here, but i don't care. it was different, exploring new things, but half of the album was wrong.there were interesting things inside too.

[badhorsie]

I dont see this happening.

[frenchie]

it will happen! soon

[Nigel]

1) Glenn Hughes 2) Sting 3) Robert plant 4) Zakk Wylde with solo riff

1.Justin Timberlake

5.Michael Bolton

[stilleddiesangel]

Personally, the only way NOT to have the Roth comparison would be to pick women vocalists, Sass Jordan, Annie Wilson, Amy Lee, Alanis Morrisette, hell, even Anastasia has a wicked set of pipes for rock music. Could be different!!

to start with..terry,great post!and agrred 100% here,but frenchies request was to be hypothetical,well here goes,,how bout stephen pearcy,rob halford,paul diano(for all you old schoolers)if we gotta go female how bout pat benetar or lita ford or maybe even michelle branch(she did it w/santana!),call me stupid but i think rob thomas would be good as well(great song writer) and if nothing else have brother mic step in on vocals,im sure after all those years with keith and ronnie this shit would be vigra to the soul!i dont think i could stomach sting,but i think elton or bono might be up to it,hell how bout neil diamond?he could be the closest thing to currnt dave thats out there(just kidding,but a cool thought)..i wouldnt even mind hearing him do a tune with willie and i wish cash was here to have the chance!thanks frenchie!!cool thread!

How about Hank Jr, Kid Rock, Garth Brooks (sorry about the country)
Sebastian Bach, Avril Lavine, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Melissa Etheridge, Neil Young

[Don Corleone]

Knowing Ed, and how desperate he is for some lime light again it'll probably be an unashamed list of today's who's who i.e. Dave Grohl, Avril Lavine etc no one you would expect him to have

How about he just go down Bowery Blvd. and pick people up at random? My guess is that any self-respecting musician won't want anything to do with him...

1.William Hung

3.Crackhead Bob
4.Eddie Van Halen
5.Steve Urkel
Hey anyone remember hearing Crackhead Bob doing a Van Halen song on the Stern show? That was great. It actually was pretty close to Sammy's renditions. I'd love to hear that one again.

[Polk High]

1) shaq
2) chris webber
3) does it really matter cause i'd play songs 1 and 2 over and over and over

[5150Clown]

I'd say:

1- Saddam Hussein - Performing "Fire in the hole" from VH3 & "Happy Trails"
2 - The chick with the thumbs up on the picture with the Iraqi prisoners - performing "Unchained"
3 - George Dubya Bush - Performing "Why can't this be love".
4 - John Kerry - Performing "I'm the one"
5 - Chuck D (of Public Enemy) - Performing a remake of "Mean Streets" Featuring: Eminem.
6 - Ozzy Osbourne - Performing "Running with the Devil" Featuring Sharon Osbourne on back up vocals.
7 - Manuel Noriega (ex-dictator of Panama) - Performing "Panama"
8 - Dick Chaney - Performing "Dreams"
9 - Ex-President Bill Clinton - Performing "Beautiful Girls"
10 - and....Micheal Jackson sings "Jump" with his son Blanket right on the balcony of a hotel!!!

Probably be an instrumental album...look something like this...

Edward Van Halen - S/T

1. "Plastic Hip"
2. "Lost Ambition"
3. "Let's Go Drinkin"

[darkknight]

EVH doesn't have the musical vocabulary to make an all instrumental album without repeating himself over and over. Maybe in 1981 he could've pulled it off for the time, but there's no way he can compete with guys like Vai, Satch, Eric Johnson, etc. He needs a singer.

[Matt White]

I need a drink.

[Bad Muthafucker]

marv albert would be a good singer. he could change all the song titles and choruses...

might as well bite!! bite!! go ahead and bite!
i can't stop biting you
biting with the devil
bite the night away
can't bite this stuff no more

[Don Corleone]

With Spam and Mike gone that leave Eddie and Alice..... Maybe Ed's planning on doing something like The White Stripes...

Think about it for a minute you've got
Jack and Meg White/ Eddie and Alice Van Halen
The White Stripes/The Franken Stripes
One of the Coolest Bands on Earth/Drunken deluded old has been.

[Sir_Maelstrom]

really?...If he could manage his ego...

Fresh Singers:
1: DC Cooper (Silent Force)
2: Jorn (Ex-ARK and Presently in Masterplan)
3: Roy Kahn (Kamelot)

Somewhat older:
4: Geoff Tate (Queensryche)
5: Sabastion Bach (sheesh...)
6: Don Doken (now there's a nightmare)
7: Axyl Rose (ROFL...like, they could both throw tempertantrums)

Oldest:
8: Rob Halford
9: Joe Lynn Turner
10:Ian Gillan

OK...just a thought. Can we pick a better guitarist? : )

I'll give you props for that choice, Roy's a BRILLIANT singer with a dynamic voice...Conception material was fuckin' BAD ASS...good in Kamelot, too, although they're not so much my cup of tea.

[Sir_Maelstrom]

Conception COULD have been the next Queensryche...who COULD have been the next Pink Floyd...I'm so discouraged in some people's actions. It does seem to be a GUITARIST thing...Tore Ostby is a great guitarist, but it seems he has a hard time keeping singers (Roy, DC Cooper, Jorn) He's a great friend, but hard to get along with in the studio...trust me. He knows this...lol. as far as Ryche...sheesh what a waste. Seems like all my favorite band self destruct...but it's been that way forever, hasn't it? (Beatles, Purple, Zep, Floyd, VH, Priest, Ryche and on it goes...at least Priest got smart and burried the hatchet)

[thepunisher]

Joe Lynn Turner does music for commercials and stuff. I remember seeing a coffee commercial and being bothered that I knew that voice. It was a Folgers commercial I think. Anyway later on I found out it was him. Probably good easy money.

[Matt White]

EVH's next singer! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHA!!!!
Now he'll really have cross-over appeal!!!

[aliged]

Blues album please. Think he's probably had enough of Singers IMHO

What about:
-Ronnie James Dio (way too dark for Eddie?)
-Bruce Dickinson (offcourse with Adrian Smith also....2 guitars?)
-The singer in the first Bang Tango album?
-James Hetfield (Metallica)....now this is going under sea level

[bastardog]

Does anybody had put an ear to 'HIM' or 'The 69 Eye'?

I think they are european groups....but probably have sound on EU....or not?

[Nickdfresh]

Johnny Rotten. They both like to break shit on stage!

[rustoffa]

Too bad Dean Martin's enjoyin' the big sleep. It'd be like a likker'd-up Pat Boone thing.

On the serious side, I like the Bach idea.

Mike Reno drives such a point home in extreme fashion, though.

Combine the mediocrity of Bryan Adams, the vocal range of Stephen Pearcy, the fashion sense of Sammy Hagar and Richard Simmons' hair-do and you get Mike Reno.

Loverboy, to this day, is the only band who's songs make me violently irritated.

Had Erwin Schrodinger proposed burying Mike Reno in the lead box with the Cyanide capsule, the most intriguing question of Quantum Physics would be rendered moot as no-one would tempt fate by digging it up again.

Speaking of Mike Reno and Bryan Adams, they are the centerpieces of my theory that the gradual decline of Western Civilization can be forecast by the Post-Rush Canadian music industry.

It goes beyond how they look.

Rock, thanks in large part to Van Halen, drove that Tiger Beat, Leif Garrett and Shaun Cassidy stuff out into the desert.

Loverboy was the Leifs and Shauns returning under the guise of rock stars.

We failed to identify the threat and look what happened. No, turn on the radio and hear what happened. The little shits are back making soulless bubblegum pop for pre-pubescents again.

It is a cancer that must be removed once and for all.

Give them guitars and Marshalls. Give them a week to learn to play them. Those that fail must die.
