He had a lot of interesting things to say. What really caught my
interest was when The Bass Player mentioned how it was magical
when they did songs like 'Mean Streets' with Dave in the last time
they performed together. Imagine how WE will feel seeing that again.
3 months. That's all DLR is asking for. Come one VH brothers, it's
not much to ask for. All we want is for CVH to rule once again and
make us feel like the kings we were back then. Light that CVH torch
and wave it in the faces of all Spammy fans. Really show the Sheep
how it's all done!!!

Even Steve Vai said he loves Dave and will appreciate the break he gave him but did say Dave has a huge ego and you have to do it his way to work with him. Steve said he had no problems because Dave was technically his boss but he could see where Dave would butt heads in a band of equals.

"When we gathered in a studio with Dave first, we played several songs, Hot For Teacher or Mean Street etc. It was a very interesting experience and I thought This is that magic!. And then Dave brought in a tape of Chemical Brothers, and said to play such a music."

So that was why there wasn't a reunion? 'Cause Dave wanted to, shall we say, "upgrade" the sound? Or even, intigrate the 21st century "piledriver" rock sound with a 21st century "disco/pop" beat?

Fuck, I'd buy it. Just make it sound like a snarling, haven't-been-fed-for-a-week pitbull...

Besides, isn't that what they did back then? Polished, but raw rock'n'roll, that had the BeeGees production style coupled with the Sex Pistols attitude.

Michaal Anthony Reading the Army?

Wonder what his reaction would be?

"Geez, I suppose I should realize that the Mullet died before CVH died." Time to head over to SuperCuts.

Thanks for sharing it here...would love to know the rest of the 6 pages worth of interview in english, if it has anything to do with CVH & Dave.

And I agree with EVH that their concert tour is really not the place to promote Spam's colored water where only HE is making the profit from sales. Spam doesn't believe in sharing the wealth.

Good read.

Makes me think (more than ever) that this band is deader than Julius Caesar.

Who gives a shit anymore. This band is done.

Dave keeps crying on air and elsewhere how bad he wants a reunion.

Eddie is on meth, alcohol, and good only knows what. He's unable to work.

Alex fucks things up whenever he gets a chance, adding more problems to the mix.

Mikey is nothing more than a hired hand. A shit out of a cow's ass has more hearsay.

The only thing is Dave going on solo. That's the closest thing to Van Halen we'll ever get.

Terry

Fuck, CVH trying some industrialized techno-rock for a few tracks would have been better than the swill they churned out with Hagar in 2004. That shit was substandard even in terms of what Van Hagar was capable of doing.

Anthony isn't even of any use now in terms of finding out what's rattling about in the Van Halen brother's heads. Poor fucker only participated in the 2004 reunion because Hagar wanted him there...wow.

I'll tell you, if I had been playing bass with EVH for nearly 30 years, and the dude didn't want me there, I sure as shit wouldn't try to wiggle an invite by slipping in with the bands SECOND singer. I'd tell Ed to go blow it out his ass.

I have a better chance of winning POWERBALL than these guys reuniting. This is very very sad.

I think even Mike wants one last go-round with Dave, just for the fans.

Too bad the sisters won't let it happen.

Terry

03-04-2006, 09:33 PM

Mike will play with the band regardless of who is singing.

Seems he's pretty much lucky if EVH lets him participate at all these days (granted, there are all kinds of luck).

I read it yesterday and realized Michael was totally a fuckin' shameless bitch. she was mentioning his hot sauce on every 3 lines in the rest of the interview. 100% BAKA.

lets see, ed has a problem with sammy right from the start with that reunion. ed has a problem with 3 reunion att with dave.

hhhhmmmm, seems like ed is the problem here.

MA even states ""When we gathered in a studio with Dave first, we played several songs, Hot For Teacher or Mean Street etc. It was a very interesting experience and I thought This is that magic!. And then Dave brought in a tape of Chemical Brothers, and said to play such a music."

so lets see, that kills anything the boys say about saying dave cant sing anymore. magic eh ? well atleast we heard one of them say it. MA is a sammy fan but its obvious he knows where the original band stands!

dave ,dave....I love ya man and I agree you know how to direct the VH machine but ed is a big boy and he is not gonna let you control it. leave the ego behind and try and agree on some stuff. just let the damn reunion happen before you look like the stones!

I second that question.

What are you really saying. something substanstial or just petty and shallow insolence which is so common around here.

One thing in that interview...and this has been noticed by blabbermouth.net....

the bass player admitted he did not play bass on the three Best Of Both Worlds" tracks....

If he was a hired gun before, he is REALLY gonna be a musical whore in the future....

Vinnie Velvet

03-06-2006, 02:07 PM

Pretty sad.

I bet even Dave would be upset over how the brothers have treated Mike.

At least Mike has never referred to playing wiht Van HAGAR as 'magic'.

DrMaddVibe

03-06-2006, 04:08 PM

bassplayer is hoping someone will care about his useless ass besides McGaygar!

bassplayer has had ample time to go out and thrash the sisters publicly and DIDN'T!

He describes playing with Roth as "magic" because it is and was. Even a dull tool like bassplayer knows it.

Ed wrote most of the bass lines on Fair Warning and it shows.

I wish they would've brought in a suitable bassist to kick Eddie in the chops and make him play stellar every night. Instead we get a paycheck session open E-string thumb strummer!

bru87tr

03-06-2006, 07:23 PM

hey, MA vocals are worth something if you think his bass playing is not.

I wonder if MA would tour with dave if he is out of vh for good. half of VH and MA vocals along with daves is pretty signature. many of rockstars have pointed out publically that MA is a very good singer.

DrMaddVibe

03-06-2006, 07:27 PM

No!

bassplayer stepped in on the Sam/Dave tour.

He wouldn't take the stage with Dave, but he got up with Spammy.

If you want to just credit his vocals then NEVER EVER come back here and say he's a bassist.

cdwillis

03-06-2006, 10:14 PM

Was there ever a reason given why he only played with Spammy and not Dave on that tour?

DrMaddVibe

03-08-2006, 07:00 AM

Dave's not gay.

bru87tr

03-09-2006, 08:26 AM

hey moron.....

I never said he was a bassist and never credited only his vocals. my point is he can play bass whether you think its good or not and his vocals helped the VH sound.

now go fuck sammy in the ass, Drsaddhomo!

I highly doubt that those remarks will ever be presented in any us magazine, which is quite sad how ed and al dont wanna put things behind them

I believe that it was Dave that said no to that. MA woulda done it.

Dave was sayin something about all or nothing.
