Including Alex.

He said it best when he said that if he and Eddie were alone in a room for 15 minutes, they would be at each others throats.

What he didn't say, but everybody knows, is that if he were in a room alone with the Diamond One for 5 minutes, he would be all about kissing ass.

But, hey, after the reviews I have read from Rama... I am almost ready to let go of the dream of a reunion.

If Dave, in his current band, released some new music that said "Hey, I've moved on"... that would be all it would take for me to move on as well.

I'm really starting to feel the same way as you now. Can't believe I'm saying that, but I'm just so sick of the brother's bullshit. Eddie, Alex and Mike lost 'it' a long time ago, and probably will never get 'it' back. Even with Dave.

If Dave can move on and really focus on his solo career with new hard rock albums like 'DLR Band', DVDs, maybe another book and a world tour, I think a lot of us could 'move on' too.

The man just can't forget about the ghost of Roth. He alsways has to throw an insult in there to justify why Roth is not in the band. What Alex fails to realize is that Van Halen needs Roth, not the other way around. 6,500 PEOPLE IN AN 18,000 CAPACITY ARENA IN Milwaukee proves my point. And they advertised the shit out of it.

Exactly!

And yet another PATHETIC attendance.

Alex is always trying to put a positive spin on the post-Roth years, and while a lot of people listened initially, only a few remaining sheep are listening now.

Surely with all the physical problems shared between Al and Ed, couldn't they hook him up with some pain pills and just rock the fuck out?

Fuck off Al.

“Whatever our personal differences are, there are no bigger fans of this band than the people who are in this band. So we understand why people would love to see that sort of reunion. But that’s just not going to happen. Some things are impossible. The Beatles will never get back together and David Lee Roth will never again sing with Van Halen.”

Wow, Al is a true harbinger of the obvious. Half the Beatles are dead and so is half of Van Halen.

Fuck off Al.

I'll be damned, Al's a part-time philosophaster!
Is he referring to sharing close encounters of the turd kind with roy?

As far as what's left behind goes, he's half right. He will leave some of the most dynamic, stand-alone, rock music ever heard.

He'll also leave behind a legacy of producing mind-numbing, watered-down, Top-Gun soundtracks.

It's not too late to do some good before you leave.

BTW,
Fuck off Al

I guess all the people that say Al is the problem rather than Ed are right.

[dave_is_vh]

And no one even gives a fuck if Al is in the band. All anyone wants is Dave and Ed.

[dave_is_vh]

At least he admitted that people want to see a Dave reunion. Of course I am sure people ask him about that all the time.

[Mr. G]

Med's? Is he kidding. From my point of view one of the greatest things about Dave is he is a truely "Alive" person. The med's would at best "dampen" his greatest attribute.

Right now, Van Halen is all about music

By Steve Penhollow

The Journal Gazette



Every time it looks as if Van Halen is about to take on a new or slightly used vocalist, there is always much speculation about whether the band’s first frontman, David Lee Roth, will return.

Van Halen says Roth fans just need to accept the fact that Diamond Dave is history, at least as far as this group of guys is concerned.

“I can say something comic, but let me preface that by saying, ‘He needs meds.’ I am very serious about that. It’s that simple. It’s not even his fault, really.

What a fucking jackass. I can say something funny too Alex. Do they have meds. to stop the shakes you and you prodigy brother have when you are away from liquor for more than a day? What a drunken asshole. Who would want to tour with such a tool! By the way, Dave still nailed your wife.

[Starwood]

"Brilliant" - LMFAO.

[Matt White]

AVH?!? HAHA.....

[Roth & Roll]

It takes a very bitter coward to continue to take cheap shots at a man who helped make him rich; and can't let go of the hate after 20 fucking years.

What a fucking ass.

Alex is just a miserable human being.

He is right though, about there never being a VH reunion with Dave - but it wouldn't surprise me to see one with Dave, Ed, Mike, and WOLFGANG replacing his douchbag uncle on drums. LOL

“We’re volatile only to the extent that we’re as good of friends as we are,” Van Halen says in a phone interview. “It’s because we are so intense.

“But it’s always about creative differences. Always. It’s never personal.”

Alex says what's good for the moment. Unfortunately the one who really needs the 'meds' or what the fuck ever is his little brother.

Amazing that he just can't stop taking shots @ Roth tho....

He's still VERY insecure about the fact that the majority of the music world feels that the first version of the band was the best.

I said in a prior post that I'd bet he never thought 20 yrs down the track that he would still have to talk about David Lee Roth, such a huge shadow does he still cast over the fans.

[Don Corleone]

Essentially what we have here from Alice is the same interview he's been giving to journalists since the tour began.
