Has Ed become Dave??

[Wolverine]

When Dave was in Van Halen he was the Boss. I'm sure Dave had his Tryant moments. Ed always said Dave always treated people like shit.
Well now with Dave long gone. It seems Ed learned from Dave and now Eddie has become Dave (Ed treats people like shit cause now the spotlight is on him and now Ed's in charge)....see, Ed does admire Dave!!

Al's in charge.

Yep

Al is definitly in charge but I really think they feed off of each other. Ed's anger and Al's stupidity.

Poor little mikey.

Fuckin' Scott Baio would do a better job than either of those cretins!

I'm not sure who is in charge...remember the '96 fiasco? That was all Ed's choice to bring Dave down to 5150. Al knew nothing about it initially, not until he showed up in the studio and found Ed and Dave sitting there laughing together.

So my impression is nothing is done wihtout Ed's say-so. Al might take care of marketing the band and stage design or whatever, but the direction of the band is all under Ed's (mis)management.

Ed's not turned into Dave. Dave does whatever he wants to do, not what management want him to do...

Well shit....

The logistics involving Ed turning into Dave in some sort of mantra metamorphosis are basically impossible.

For that to happen, Ed would have to have some taste.

Ed's tongue is all fucked up...

(fade to black)..........

Fini.

David Lee Roth was and will always be a guy known for being a good shit...Eddie van cock bag ...has always treated people like shit. Fuck VanHalen.....long live DavidLeeRoth

That whole thing seemed like a case of too many hands in the pot ruining the stew, between personal managers, business managers, therapists, songwriters, producers and record company reps. But ultimately it comes down to the band/Ed and Als attitudes. The Van Halens are the core of the band now, although it's clear they have no flair for what needs to be done.

Ed needs direction from someone who isn't as connected as Al is. Best manager Van Halen could get is someone who can dispassionately tell the brothers what needs to be done, with a minimum of coddling.

Actually, is that the best approach? You know the old saying: "If you want something done right, do it yourself".

You've read Crazy From the Heat, right? Managers are vipers. Even with Gary Cherone, that was MANAGEMENT to a great extent pushing someone who was already on his client roster onto the VH brothers.

I think Gary was also family with the guy. some weird tenuous connection.

So I think them managing themselves is fine, it's just getting past the ego-hurdles. Dave's aborted 2002 reunion unravelled largely b/c - from what I've seen, heard and read - his lawyers/management/he himself were demanding that the show be billed as "Van Halen with David Lee Roth"...so once again Ed balked and was afriad dave would steal his spotlight and reneged on the whole thing (I'm sure there was financial renumeration disparity as well)
