    Saw this at the Links...

    From the Eddie Trunk interview with Mike and Sam:

    "Wow, what a night this past Friday at The Borgota in AC. Great show by Sammy Hagar and his band, followed by our live after party broadcast with Silvertide, Sammy Hagar & Michael Anthony! Another huge exclusive!! Sammy stopped by and talked for about 30 minutes, while Michael co-hosted the entire second half of the show. Both guys could not have been cooler and we had a blast from our private suite in the Mixx lounge at the Casino."

    "I am being hammered with emails about hearing this audio again and what was said. Catch the replays online this week on KNAC.com. The audio will also be posted on the home page in about a week, as well as some great photos."

    "For you guys who caught it or came down, thanks, to those that didn't, you missed something really special. In a nutshell as far as VH is concerned it's over for now and maybe for good. Sam & Mike both said the tour started out fun but quickly turned all business. Mike did not deny my claim that Eddie needs some help and was smoking and drinking and played poorly at times. He also shared some great Roth stories and played some his favorite VH songs. I never hung with Michael before, what a super guy."



    What's great about this article is that even Mike says that Eddie played poorly at times and some many people over at the VHlinks were always denying this. I heard it with my own ears in Cleveland and he was so sloppy. It was so sad to see a guy who used to make something that seems difficult to play look so easy....now look at him. I also like that fact that Mike was telling Trunk about some great Roth stories. Now, if you really can't stand the guy, why would you do that. If I couldn't stand someone I'd either mf them or not talk about them at all!!! Maybe, just maybe, somethings gonna happen with VH and Roth after all.....
    Before I always said I always liked Van Halen with David Lee Roth. Now I have to say I like Van Halen with David Lee Roth & Michael Anthony. It's just too much!

    It's interesting, I guess, but no surprise to any of us. I'd imagine that Mike (and to a lesser degree even Sam) are probably decent enough guys to hang out with, but...what throws me is how Mike apparently was fooled into believing that 2004 was about old friends reuniting to make great music and it wasn't going to be all work and blah blah blah.

    Weren't we all saying this is just a cash grab tour? From jump street, didn't we say that?

    Christ, we're not even IN Van Halen and we have more insight into Alex and Eddie's mindset than Mike does, apparently.

      Hillarious ! What do you say now Ed Sheep ??
      We have been saying all along that the fucker wasnt playing
      right.. What did the sheep say at the time, Ed was so "ON"...
      Fuck you just had to listen to any of the boots from any of
      the shows. I remember listening to RWTD and him fucking
      up the easiest of notes, in what is probably one of his most
      famous riffs. Same with Unchained.

      Medocrity, the Hagar fans accept it. (In fact they know no better !)
      BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
      Love ya Mary Frances!

        Bummer. Well, hopefully one last hurrah with the Rother before Ed drowns in his own vomit.

                  I do hope Ed can get himself under control....regardless of what has happened with the band. It's a sad, sad thing to see someone who was once brilliant basically go to shit.

                    " Feel Your Love vs. Good Enough-Something about the first time you ever heard Sam kick in with Ed, with that whole Hello Baby intro...plus, I love Good Enough. Not enough kudos go to this ripping tune"

                    "In no way is Roth in a Jagger-type league"
                    "(I'll Take You There) -Finally heard the damned song today. Gosh, all the hoopla. It's not a bad cover at all. They've done worse. At least Sam's puttin' out product. Another Cabo groove, that's all right by me."
                    "I'm goin' to Tahoe in August, fuck it. Sam, Mikey, and Vic cranking out a mixed bitchin' ass setlist? Sure, you betcha."
                    "Don't be a moron, Vinnie. Dave has said plenty to insinuate VH was secondary to his bitchin' ass self."

                    “Um, I am willing to bet Eddie is does not have the most cash, I think with the way Cabo has taken off and the constant touring, Sam has him beat”
                    “I was at the first show in Greensboro, and then a month later at JLA. The difference was unreal. The boys were perfect that night and the crowd, was quite possibly the loudest I have ever heard”

                    “I thought Eagles Fly in 95' was VERY cool ! When Ed jumps in with that solo , it still gives me goosebumps ! It's a beter tune with the whole band launching in !”

                    " I really do like Yankee Rose, one of Dave's best solo tunes IMO, but better than Cabo Wabo? No way No how."

                    "Oh come on. Who in their right mind takes Dave as serious artist? The man himself doesn't!"
                    "Dave may have been fucked over in '96, but him leaving in '85 was all his own doing. He walked out on the band, and that's that."
                    "Like it or not, the band had success post-Dave, and big success as well"
                    "I talked to Max, after hearing the whole deal, I'm convinced this is an even bigger fucking joke and embarrassment to the site"

                    “5150 vs. Eat 'Em & Smile-5150 by far, EMAS is a good record and Dave stacked that band, but you can have all the talent in the world, but if you can't write what good is it?”
                    “Dave hosting radio show all next week (Boston)- from one Dave lover to another, us poor Van Halen fans, what would we do without the Roth fans””Good old Dave talking trash about people as usual, and he wonders why he is a nobody nowadays..What a class act talking about people`s wives, kids, fathers etc..Then his made up numbers on the 04 tour...Sounds like he hasen`t changed”
                    “Dave was comparing the 2 "Best of" Album sales-no internet and file sharing, downloading etc, if that was today those two Roth tunes would have been download by the majority of the fans before the album even hit the shelves”

                    “what was the best VH tour?- For stage it had to be 1984, for atmosphere, easily the outdoor RHRN tour”
                    “Diamond dave or Sammy?- BOTH are important to the legacy of this band, I prefer Sam”
                    “Hall of Fame wants Dave in VH-OK, try and compare Dave`s contibution to music history to Ed`s is plain foolish, they are not in the same universe”
                    “Wasn't Dave's head so big at the time, he wanted to do a movie, and them to wait? He made the movie or part of it and they didn't it get shelved? It was suppose to go along with Crazy From The Heat. Still don't see what your big obsession is about Ed and Al drinking, when Dave is a fucking snow blower to the greatest extent”
                    “VH ticket prices weren't too bad-The tour was well done, for the price of the tickets the setlist was good”
                    “Daves Quitting Anniversery I was in total shock when I heard as they were on top of the world (no pun intended) at the time, I remember my dad laughing going "now that that idiot is out of the band they might get some respect", at the time the most recent Sammy tour was the VOA, so when I saw the picture of him in that yellow jump suit or whatever the hell it was, I was like uh oh.. but things happen for a reason and it all worked out for the better.”
                    “OU812MAX at the ARMY!- U have to be kidding, he is one of the few guys (mods) from over there that is cool over there and here, he keeps things civil....Brett sign him up!”
                    “Diamond Dave on tour again -Dave will keep touring and doing shows, he is just keeping himself up to speed, As much as I wouldn`t want to see it, a reunion with Van Halen and Dave is never out of the question as long as the members are living, money is the root of all evil”

                    Dave left, he fucked up, end of story.”
                    “I get to see Sammy and Mike next month”
                    “Last time I saw Sammy solo he and the Wabo's nailed Best Of Both Worlds. It was killer.”
