I'm with you. But I wonder...where could you find such an EMT?

Hmmmm...........

[DLRdelight!]

I say New York!!!!!

[bueno bob]

I just say storm 5150 and destroy the place.

The police couldn't stop ALL of us :D

[Terry]

Better yet, go there and rape the vaults of all pre-1986 material, getting it out of Ed and Al's hands before they can erase it.

It's not Sammy man, it's Alex.... Sammy just wants to be in the band, I don't believe that he wants to see any harm come to Eddie.

Again, Shaun, you have a point. Sam's sole purpose for being in Van Halen is the money and recognition. Anybody remember in '96 when he was shit talking them to no end, and how he reiterated over and over that "This is completely OVER, I'll never go back, not after what they did, I don't need this, I just want to do my thing my way without having to bend over", blah blah blah?

As soon as Alex came calling, Sam went running with a million dollar smile on his face.

Most of you know I have NO love for Hagar, my personal opinion is that he's been an anchor on Van Halen for years...that's no secret...but Sam's just out for the cash and that's his only interest...it's also a lot of why he's been writing radio-friendly pedestrian crap his whole career...

As long as Van Halen can get guaranteed fees and touring/functioning without Roth is a lucrative option, they'll continue to do so.

The less-than-stellar response to the new tracks and lack of full capacity attendance at many of this year's shows should be rasing hairs on the back of someone's neck that all is not well on Howdy Doody Mountain (you don't see NEARLY as many sheep coming to this site now claiming 2004 was a great year for Van Halen as opposed to the amount that were showing up in February prophesizing Van Hagar was gonna clean up), but the Van Halen brothers have shown the capacity to excel at sticking their heads in the sand and pretending everything is great.

Think it's gonna come down to money in the end in terms of getting the Van Halens to reconsider hooking up with Roth again, as opposed to integrity, and in many ways that's the biggest tragedy of this whole mess.

I don't think Sam's all about the paycheck.... I think he really wants to be in Van Halen.... Besides, you can't keep going back to what he said after he left the band.... That was quite some time ago, and people forgive, forget, and change their minds.... I think Sam came back because he wanted to give the fans some form of Van Halen again, that's the same reason he went on tour with Dave.... I don't think Sam is the guy you guys want him to be, honestly.
