I just sent this to Paula - The Red Rocker webmaster.
Hi Paula,
I'm Mezro, one of the Moderators over at the Roth Army site and I wanted to throw a rather intriguing idea your way (and ultimately to Sam).
As you know, David Lee Roth era fans dislike Sam's time with VH and find Van Hagar to be nothing more than a watered down version of a once truly classic band. I'm sure this bothers Sam (what musician doesn't have an ego) and I'm wondering if he would be willing to share his feelings with me? What I propose is a face-to-face interview between myself and Sam. I live in San Francisco so putting us together (in a location of his choice) would not be a problem.
This would be one of the most interesting interviews ever conducted, could be posted on both our sites and would surely gain some pretty amazing media coverage (I'm open to a joint press release). I view this as an opportunity for Sam to speak directly to Roth era fans (via the Roth Army site) and for Roth era fans to explain directly to Sam why we feel he is just fronting VH for a paycheck. But please be forewarned: I will not pull any punches and will not ask the normal, watered down, softball journalist type questions Sam is used to. I'd require at least an hour of Sam's time (but prefer 2 hours) and his willingness to not duck any of the issues. And, if he could bring Michael Anthony into the mix it would truly help clear the air of misconception about what really happened during his departure and the subsequent failed Roth reunion. I hope neither of them have a fragile ego or they may well be in for a shock.
I've read time and time again where Sam has emphatically stated that Van Hagar is the "real" version of VH and that he will debate or defend his position to anyone at anytime. OK. Hello Sam, I'm Mezro....care to debate?
Thanks for your time Paula and I'd appreciate if you could forward my message to Sam. Both myself and the 11,376 members of the Roth Army await his response.
Best,
Mezro
Mezro...and now we wait...
