Did you get enough info to find out who it is?

I kept everything and I have people on it

[Fabulous Shadow]

Why did you even talk to this person? I would have just blocked um.

Never said Dave Sux
Never said SW Sux

Just don't think that grown men should be so obsessed... But hey, to each their own...

Never said bikers would deliver the cash Shark...

Not a Eyeglass store either...

I am totally flattered that you guys care so much tho...

keep ragging on him, since I'm not claiming to be a fan and
stuff?

Oh yeah... well I know a guy who had several *AHEM* encounters of
the close kind with Dave when he was in Argenitalia and he was smoking
hot but as queer as a 2 dollar bill...

Absolutly NOT! Unless of course there are no guests because it'd
get really old watching a show where Dave constantly out talks and
interrupts them. I can't see Dave in that role because with him, it'a
All Dave all the time... I doubt he'd be interested in sharing the
spotlight... Without guests, the show would last 3.75 mins because
after that he be back to using old material...

Sammy may be short but havent you ever heard about how short guys
are pistols when it comes to punching... Little F%$Kers can kick butt!
Dave has to turn everything into comedy... maybe that's why in REAL
life he's pretty much a loner. But then again, who needs
friends...

Doing originals is alot more noble and requires alot more talent

doing covers because 1/2 of the work was already done...

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Just my opinion but Dave's been doing the same exact show for years
now. I wouldn't pay a nickle to see him.

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
I dont think we will EVER see EVH and DLR on the same stage ever
again. I really don't think that even the RRHOF will be reason enough
for Ed to ever stand by Dave again. If I were Ed I wouldn't give DLR
the time of day. The way that Dave goes out and continues to talk
smack about Eddie after everything that he's been going through is not
the way that people should treat people. I dont believe in kicking
people when they are down and I especially don' like the way that Dave
has been making a living by riding on the coat tails of the original
VH yet continues to slam the people who help made all of it
possible...

Thing about Sammy is that when he is talking badly about someone he
just being blantantly honest. He isnt trying to degrade or humiliate
them. He makes it perfectly clear that he's simply speaking his
opinion from his experiences dealing with that individual. Dave on the
other hand gets down and dirty, takes cheap shots and throws in
cowardly digs at peoples personal problems. I'd really love to see
Sammy and the VH brothers work it out and make some music together. I
think there is a chance of that happening. As for DLR, other than his
renditions of the old VH songs played with a different band, I think
he's finished with VH for good and I'm not sad about it
anymore.

Sammy can still sing, Dave cant
Sammy makes his own music, Dave does covers
Sammy looks his age, Dave looks 105
Sammy puts on a show, Dave just wants to get it over with and get paid...

Ever hear the same joke twice? Dave is that joke...

IMO- Dave will be make it more like a BEACH BOYS reunion then a
Journey reunion. Like a big JOKE. Originality? He's been using the
same material since 1976 and it's old! I'm so tired of the Sammy is
fat thing. He gained a lil weight a few years back but he's trimed
down alot since then. I like his new look. He continues to change and
it suits his age and shows that he's not stuck in character. Dave
wants to be what he was so badly that it's PATHETIC. What will Dave
bring? Greif! Chaos! Let Downs! Drama! More of the same... Oh I'm sure
he'll bring the Coke too (SNIF)... Oh and bottle of Jack to shake all
over the front row. Let's not forget SPANDEX and Grecians formula in
Platinum blonde....

A poll, HAGAR vs. ROTH. Without hesitation, FAB posted:

Wham Bam! I pick...HAGAR!" In fact, FAB set up this poll to prove
to the Links that Dave isn't as popular as people say: "Lets find
out...I'll set up a pole... I'm sure it's been done but
still..."

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Awww come on, We all know that it was the bro's who pulled the plug
on THAT reunion attempt, not Dave. His presentation of HIMSELF during
that breif period of time in which a reunion was being considered is
what made it a no go not the fact that he wasn't kissing major VH
butt.

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Interesting! Cuz I heard that Sammy said Dave was Tinkey Winkey,
the GAY one...

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
I've seen his act and thats enough for ME! Sorry but IMO seeing
Dave sing classic VH w/o the brothers again is like watching a movie
you love over and over again. After awhile you just get tired of it,
know it by heart and it get less and less entertaining.

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Dave is a marketing master! He knows mentioning EVH or anything VH
related will keep his name circulating! It is the ONLY thing that DLR
can say or do that makes him "NEWSWORTHY"... He has been riding the VH
coat tails for years now and makes a career out of doing it just
right.

This was FAB's signature at the Links:

EVH- We could go out there and make a killing on tour with
Roth but we're not a nostalgia band. I would never just take
somebody's money for playing old songs to bring back memories. I'm
sure a lot of fans of the band would love to see it-but some things
are better left to memory.
Guitar World 1997

When someone announced that the ROTHARMY was back, FAB complained:

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Well, I know it'd be nice to think that Dave could humble himself
and accept the reality that VH was a band and that it was not HIM
alone that made the band successful. He is a show stealer! He likes to
be the main act. He likes to talk alot and the only person he likes
listening to is himself. Sorry Hec, but I think if you put this guy on
a stage with the rest of VH and an audience of his peers, he will turn
on the 'ACT' thinking it's impressive and thinking that its 'DAVE
LIKE' and thinking it's what people want and he will make a fool of
himself and the band once again. I just wish he could be NORMAL! But
it's like he's in total denial that alot of things have changed since
1984.

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Regardless... If they were to be inducted I can see Dave turning it
into HIS night, it'd be all about HIM and he'd turn the whole think
into circus. It'd be another moment in the bands history where Ed has
to sit back and bite his tounge so Dave can have his moment of glory.
IMO Dave just ruins everything for this band. Yeah he HELPED get them
where they got but lets not forget what happened to him when he went
off on his own.

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
I love "Me Wise Magic" I just think it sounds like Dave is really
working hard to sing it. I wonder how it would have been if Sammy sang
it? Afterall, IMO it's more suitable for his vocal style. (i.e.
Naturally Wired)

I dont think Dave could have pulled off Humans Being to save his
life.

Here's what FAB thought of the new video at DLR's site:

That was just STUPID!

Someone mentions the CRAZY FROM THE HEAT book, and FAB says:

Wonder what other treasures we can uncover in this tomb?

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
After I saw the tour my answer was flat out NO. But now that some
time has passed I think I'd consider it. I mean, it is an excuse to
hook up with my VH croanies and we did have blast... But Dave sucked
and while Sammy was good, it was kind of the same show as his 10/13
tour was...But it was good seeing Brian on stage with Dave...But Dave
sucked... so.... I dont know????

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Once Dave's onboard he "might as well jump" MAN OVERBOARD!

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Is that why DAVE has blown every chance he had at rejoining the
legacy your speaking of by continuing to believe that it is all about
him and conducting himself like a 2nd rate variety act? He should know
by now that in order to make it work in VH he needs to behave more
like and serious musician behind the scenes and save the comedy for
the videos. Honestly, I love the Dave era, but Dave would irritate the
hell out of me if I had to work with him. Heck, I get irritated just
watching him in interviews and what not.

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
It's like a friend who keeps telling the same joke over and over.
Eventally it's just NOT funny anymore. I liked Dave in the &)'s when
he was sexy ans mysterious. When VH added a lil variety to their act
it was cool because here they were the BAD GUYS of Rock-n-Roll being
funny and THAT maade it more funny. But they did it and that was
enough. DAVE couldn't stop after that. He needed to get a grip and
couldnt. He was on a high horse and based his entire solo career on
the comedy which grew old quick and landed him in Vegas. Now he's
skating on the old VH coat tails trying to hang on to what he once
was. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where DAVE went wrong.
Shouldnt be to hard to fix, but he cant conform.

Somebody asks why the ARMY was closed down...FAB responds:

Got closed down... Don't know the details... Don't really care...

I am a Van Halen Fan! All eras! I just dont think Dave has it

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
A 'HAS BEEN' is someone who continues to promote the 'SAME OL SHIT'
without putting out anything new. The music is good and people still
want to hear it but that is just 'NOT ENOUGH'...

Sammys a drunk??? Daves a cokehead...

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Can you pinpoint some CHARISMA dating more current than 1985?

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Dave cant even sing the Dave stuff the way he sang it in the 70's
and 80's. Why should sammy try to. Lets move on... Sammy will bring a
newer more mature feel to VH. They dont want to be a nastalgia (sp?)
band. If you want more of the same, keep playing the remasters and be
happy...

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Well Van Halen is a rock band not a comedy act. Dave has a great
bod but he is NOT sexy. Comb over and bleached out hair... NOT SEXY.
Dont you hate it when old men wear speedos....

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Like I said. I think Sammy would like it, but is content if it
doesnt happen. If anyone is FOAMING it's Dave... Dave has had many
chances and f----- them up in one way or another. Sam and VH had some
issues but there is still some hope for resolve there. All hope is
gone for Dave as far as VH goes. I'd be highly disapointed with VH if
they were to bring Dave back for anything more that a reunion tour
with BOTH singers. I can see Sammy fitting back into VH alot more
comfortably than Dave.

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Dave's gay. I have a friend on the inside that knows some sick
stories. But listen to him sing. Does it surprise you?

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
It's just that Dave seems to be hanging on others coat tails in
order to stay in the spotlight. Dave is washed up. He IS the LIBERACE
of the Y2K's. If he'd cut the ACT then MAYBE... But as for the thread
I say Dave wants it more. Too bad he pissed away all his chances. Ed
didnt blow it for the fans, Dave's big freakin mouth and ego did...
PERIOD!

They all sound pretty good... Ever see the Buenos Aires bootleg...
Theres a part in it where DLR is singing Jamies Crying and he walks
down stage and then walks back waddeling like a duck. We may be onto
something here!

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
For the thread...Dave sux

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Actually, Dave does it daily and has even kicked the entire band
and crew out of the bus in the middle of travel so he can line um up
all by his lonesome. They're Rockstars... I guess that makes it ok? At
least Sammy has a life offstage and only indulges periodically! I
happen to know that Sammy isn't much of a partier...

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Roth is a dork and always has to try and steal the show. More
timess than not he ends up looking like an old burnt out HAM... Kudos
to Sam for rolling with the puncches... Slapfighting is supposed to be
funny...Remember the three stooges?

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Deal with it! Eddie said it best in 1996 The DLR of the 80's IS NOT
the DLR of the 90's or in this case the Y2K's

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
When he left VH I truely believe that he thought he would make it
on CHARISMA alone. Fact of the matter was that his act grew old, tired
and overdone quite soon which is why his solo career fizzled out so
fast. I loved VH with Dave and it really pisses me off that even to
this day, in spite of everything that he should have learned by now,
he STILL thinks his charisma is enough to base a career on and a
reunion with the greatest band ever. Well, I dont think it is. I dont
want to see this 50 year old man, trying to keep his hair long and
blonde, sporting spandex, jerking JD all over the audience, threating
to "fuck your girl friend" and doing arthritic karate kicks and jumps
and singing the old classics flat and half heartedly. Anyway in answer
to this thread, what made Dave great was not DAVE or his charisma it
was the package... it was the band as a whole- VAN
HALEN...

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Uh Yeah...WE all saw how GOOD Dave did on his own... He didnt even
sell out in Vegas!

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
I know first hand that Dave is and was a big COKE heand and I dont
mean Pepsi. I could JUMP like that too if I was AMPPED up on
speed...

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
I hope Ed sticks to his guns and doesn't call Dave. Don't give in
to the pressure Ed. Call Sammy!

Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow
Sammy speaks the truth. For some reason DLR has not been able to
hold on to many bandmembers throughout his career. I dont blame Sammy
for dissing Dave, infact I agree with most everthing he's said. I do
think capping on the hair thing is a bit petty but hey, when someone
gets under your skin, you pull out all the punches...

Nope, you've just insinuated that it's stupid to watch.

Just don't think that grown men should be so obsessed...

Speaking of obsession...

But hey, to each their own...

Exactly, so what's the fucking problem?

Never said bikeres would deliver the cash Shark...

Of course you do. You're pro Hagar, that's obvious.

Doesn't have to. It's not always WHAT you say, but rather how you say it...and trust me, what you said up there doesn't leave much room for argument, if any at all.

Dave was great in his day... he never should have left VH...

He absolutely should have left Van Halen - staying would have been fucking stupid, or maybe you think he should have become Alex's puppet?

Unlike some cases, Dave saw no reason to stay where he wasn't wanted, and who's ended up the better for him doing so? Van Halen?

Don't hate me for stating the obvious...

I am not pro Hagar nor pro Roth... I'm pro whatever they decide because it's just a band and not that important in my life. I am a self admitted sheep. I believe that whatever happens in life is the way things are supposed to be... If Dave was meant to be in VH, he would be... I dug CVH and I dug Van Hagar... I love all kinds of music and who am I to try and dictate what any band or singer should do? It's just music people. It isn't life or death... Sorry if my "Keeping it in perspective" bothers the ROTH obsessed... I just don't get why my opinions are so important to any of you??? I am flattered tho...and I appreciate the attention... LMAO!
