        Nice jab at the sisters regarding their "German mentality" in making Dave their scapegoat....

            I saw the 5150 tour in San Diego and they did make more than a few rips towards Dave. I saw Dave on the EEAS tour & didn't hear a peep about VH.

              It was Sam ragging on Dave. I've never heard Alex say a thing during a show and Ed rarely says anything. It was Sam but of course the Van Halens didn't stop him from doing so either.

              The thing is, Dave never did anything to Sam to deserve the slagging. If anything Dave did Sam a favor by not being in the band. Sam's career would have faded in the 80's if he didn't get into VH.

                LMFAO!

                Still remember.....May of 86.....the hagaritas rolled through town. Crowd was going apeshit.....but only because it was Van Halen with a different singer.

                Then on August 30th, Uncle Dave came to town. Good god....I was right up front.....General Admission so I fucking got CLOSE.

                Dave made the hagaritas look bad. I mean, VH was still a cracking unit (3/4 of them anyway). But Dave came out with Sheehan, Vai and Bissonette, and the BIG ROCK Production with a million lights....fuck.....no competition at all.....

                  I've seen that clip a hundred times and I still think watching it now that it's the closest to the REAL Dave Roth we've ever seen or ever WILL see. Total honesty - and he has every right to be pissed off - without a hint of the rehearsed, phony 'Diamond Dave' persona.

                    Most honest interview I've ever seen from anyone. Bar none.

                      Dave's was a class act...

                      MA's was a class act...

                      Cherone was a class act...

                      Common denominator... Van Halens and Hagar. The Yin and Yang with a trail of party leftovers and used up ho's...

                        So he holds a press conference to publicly state how he doesn't say anything in public about VH. That was at the height of his solo journey, it was a steady swan dive for the next 20 years. When any of these guys did interviews they were invariably asked about the split. And as time went on and Dave's star began to fade, ALL he talked about was VH. Yep, VH gave Sammy a boost, and without VH Dave was on his way to becoming an answer to a Trivial Pursuit question.

                          1st off ass-hat Van Haggis hit the airwaves first...in both Spin magazine and Rollingstone....pissing and crying about "mean 'ol Uncle Dave"......

                          Dave took the high road....until van haggis toured & tried to make light of DAVE on every tour stop...grabbing a kid out of the crowd to sing jump...because Spam was too insecure to have a go at it.....

                          And as popular taste shifted....with the coming of Grunge...ALL 80's acts dropped off...including your cheddar loving pals.......

                          So do us a favor.....blow it out your cakehole..............

                              OK Matty, sorry to piss you off about your boyfriend. if he took the high road he wouldn't be saying anything, right? But he did. Kinda has a crybaby tone to it, waaaa they're being mean to me. Don't know why you or so many others even love Jump, but having a kid come up on stage means he was intimidated? OK. maybe he chose not to sing it because he knew that as time went on Dave would make that his trademark and sing that at a stop sign if 8 people would listen, kinda like his last few club tours. The way you defend him to the end is sweet, gotta love his Sam Kinison "I'm not bald under here" beret. saucy.
