    The ENTIRE VAN HALEN organization, except for AVH's drum roadie, went with DAVE. ALL the : Roadies, assistants, truckdrivers, gaffers, secretaries, lawyers, etc.....even EVH's guitar roadie went with DAVE

      One word...Charisma!

      I like to think of it from a beer point view. Obviously no one else liked Heineken or Grolsch (ed and al's favs, I've heard).

        This is very interesting......where does this info come from? Who is the intimate source for this?

          They all went with Dave because they knew Dave was the toastmaster general / star of the show ..

            I don't believe Rudy Leiren (Ed's tech) went with Dave. Ed hired a new tech after Dave but Rudy was still working with Ed on another level at that time. I could be wrong about it, but don't believe so.

                i partied with a roadie from old VH days the day of Davids first solo show. He told me everybody went with Dave because Eddie would hit people after the show if everything didnt go just right. Dave paid everybody better to. If you were going thru tough times Dave would give you money.

                  "So there, I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopkeeper and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes...Nasty business, really, but sure enough I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show..."

                      Maybe it was 'cause Dave had all the weed connections or something?

                      Those fucking roadies and techs?

                      Buncha stoners.

                          You are wrong....Rudy started teching for....STEVE VAI on the EEAS tour......

                          Why did everybody leave with DAVE?


                          A.) He ran VAN HALEN and thus played a larger role in their development/success than people on the outside knew at the time.

                          B.) The people who worked for VAN HALEN knew that the sisters were suffering from both substance abuses issues as well as dementia......


                          DAVE was the logical choice......

                            Dave understood showmanship and marketing, the two things that make money in the entertainment business. The Van Halens were musicians and most great musicians starve to death.
                            No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
