20 years on April 1st

[Matt White]

Dave quit VAN HALEN. It's why Val said it was so cruel that "Dave pulled the plug...".

FUCK van hagar, DAVE is the man.

From reading his book, after he left the old act Dave did what he wanted to do and balanced his time between makin music, doing some videos and travelling. Good call in my book and I think Dave should be proud of everything hes done over the last 30 odd years, he kept his head, made hours of great music and did some killer shows.

Lets have another 20 Dave

I really don't know what to think, seeing that Ed and the Boys turned out to be so suck ass anyway! Would they have been as sorry if Davy Baby stayed? Could he really slap those doofuses into shape back then? I don't know, y'all. I think he made the right decision. He can't make anybody get their shit together! Fuck that 'going down with the ship' bullshit!

96 is where its at. I don't care about the music that VH die w/o Dave, or Dave w/o VH. Eddie's guitar and Dave's voice compliments each other. Vai can't replace Ed and certainly Hagar can't match Roth. It would of been a hell of an album with a reunited CVH.

The coolest thing dave has done since the split is for the most part stay above the name-calling and whatnot.

I rememeber reading interview after interview with Hagar and the bothers promoting 5150, and they just slammed dave continuously. I read concert review after concert review where Sammy - of all people - was making fun of dave from the stage.

Every show I saw of the Eat 'Em tour someone either threw a banner or ball or cardboard poster on stage that said somethign akin to "Fuck Van Halen"...not once did Dave present it to the crowd. Despite the fact that the crowd would have roared its approval, Dave would either thorw it right backstage or back into the audience with minimal fanfare.

Class.

Unlike Hagar, who delighted in displaying the crayon-scrawled anti-Dave banners the lambs would throw on stage. Of course, he also had to be careful not to display the "Where's Dave?" banners that were hurled at him.
