EVH was better when Dave was fronting 'cause Dave braught out the best in Eddie.......when Dave left the magic was gone there goes the best fontman/guitarist duo in rock and then when spammy stepped up to the plate EVH was never the same i don't care what anybody sais sammy and Eddie just don't have the magic Dave and Eddie had just watch the US Festival and that's proof enough.Originally posted by Redballjets88

Keyboards are cool when used sparingly.
Egos and Lethargy killed CVH though...
A cryin' shame.Without DLR in the lineup, Van Halen is merely Rat Salade...Comment

Hell NO. Everyone LOVED Jump. Roth leaving is what killed VH...Comment

weren't JUMP and I'LL WAIT the biggest hits/singles they had?
on a related note, in I'LL WAIT was Dave singin about a girl in a advertisement for something? Has anyone seen/have a pic of this?Comment

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Val killed CVH. Love and marriage can drive a mans true friends away and he wouldn't even know it. That women would never let her Ed go on that road again with Dave for many reasons. Anyone married can related to what I'm say'n.Comment

Shit Skyscraper.... Dave wanted to use em, otherwise we'd have heard more from Vai, who's no slouch on the axe himself.
skyscraper was very very keyboard heavy....i think part of daves new band was so that he could have complete control. he produced it...so if he didnt want them, they wouldnt have been there...but they were...
so he couldnt have hated keys THAT much.......
Goin' crazy was really popish and keyboard heavy as well and that was only 2 years after jumpGot beef with my comments? Blow me!Comment

was in before Sam turned him into a homo.

knowing that he'd have to do 'jump' live,
dave would've realised a keys player
would be a neccessary evil.
so he got one with a songwriting pedigree.
i met gregg once, had a good chat, he said brett was a
very talented and cool guy.Comment

Dunno about that.
Don't think EVERYONE loved Jump, far as Halen fans who had been into the band prior to 1984 went, anyway. Jump and I'll Wait were never anything that great to me, keyboard-wise.
Nah, think it had more to do with personality clashes, and Ed wanting to assert himself more. Willing to bet Ed was tired of feeling like he was being told what to do by Ted, Dave and Noel. Seems like Dave and Ed always has a certain amount of tension to their relationship, and maybe Ed felt he wasn't getting enough of his ideas across, or didn't want to have to battle to get what he wanted on the albums....I mean, I definitely get the sense that Ed was pissed since Dave was doing virtually all the press for CVH, and maybe he just got tired of feeling like he was being led around, so building 5150 studios was a way of having some control, or whatever.
Even though 1984 isn't my favorite VH album, I don't really think that musical differences drove CVH apart. Seemed like there was plenty of creative juice left in that lineup (as 1996 demonstrated). Think it was just ego and a lack of being willing to compromise - this includes Dave as well.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

All I know is after keys in that band we didn't get stuff like Fools, Light up the Sky, Romeo Delight, etc. Ed didn't inspire a generation of kids to play keyboards.
However, Ed said he came up with the Hear About it Later riff on keyboards. It's certainly possible to use keys in a ballsy rock context and not have it be a lame ballad.
It's also possible to do a slow tempo tune and have it be melodic and not cheesy (You See Me crying, Aerosmith,from TOYS)
It was lack of Roth in VH in my opinionComment
