WOW TMR LIKES SOMETHING ED DID AFTER 1984.:D

I'm a pretty open-minded person and I gave it all a chance, so yes that song rocks! SPAM was kicked out of the band during that time frame .....LOL

Youre telling me Eddie CANT play like he did in the dlr era? why would ed not be able to anymore? Doesnt make sense.

1. He gets drunk alot and passes out with lit cigarettes between his fingers.

2. He gets drunk alot and that affects his motor skills.

3. He gets drunk alot and trys to flip sizzling bacon slices with his bare hands when he's really fuckin' hungry.

4. He gets drunk alot and starts playing with mousetraps, inevitably thrashing his fingers repeatedly.

5. He gets drunk alot and slams the piano keyboard cover door on his fingers.

6. He gets drunk alot and trys to hang pictures on the wall, smashing his fingers to kingdom come with a framing hammer covered in red and white tape.

7. He gets drunk alot and puts his arms in the maytag 3000 washing machine while it's running thinking he left a pack of cigarettes in a pair of overalls he wore the other day.

..........etc,etc.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Panamark]

I would pay to see Ed play.
Solo or with Van Halen.(not to be confused with Van Hagar)

I would never pay to see him with Hagar or Cherone.

[Switch84]

I'd pay for THAT...not a Spammy concert

Exactly why Im not going to see Van Hagar. If Eddie really wanted to make some cash-ola, all he and Alex have to do is release a multi-CD Dave-era live package along with a Classic VH DVD Box Set. They could charge crazy kiss-kash dollars for it...and they would get it.

BUT!!!

He would have to share the moola with you-know-who...

Holy shit, I'd camp out in front of Sam Goody for that CD/DVD package! That would be totally awesome!

Maybe someday, I hope.

Because Dave didn't call it "Van Halen," he called it by his own name, "David Lee Roth." He didn't pretend it was something else unlike Eddie, who is calling it "Van Halen" like we're supposed to buy this as the reunion. And also they're playing Roth songs on the radio commercials to promote it because they know the Van Hagar songs suck.

He didnt pretend it was something else? By playing all van halen tunes and riding on that to sell his mesasly 500 a night tix. Van Halen is Eddie and alex's name, and the band is still 3/4 there. Why dont you live through van halen before you spout your stupidity jack off.

1. He wouldn't go to anyone's home, because he's a dick!
2. Why do people see Eric Clapton, etc.....because they are inspiring ARTISTS,,,,,Eddie doesn't inspire anything but a bore, without DAVID LEE ROTH he doesn't have the drive to play great music. Dave pushed him too his limits and SPAM will suck his dick, so this is why SPAM is in the band and why Ed will be behind the keyboards for when DREAMS, WHEN IT"S LOVE, ETC. are performed.

NUMBER ONE REASON WHY NOT TO SEE EDDIE......HE SUCKS! ERUPTION WAS MADE in 1978..........ED hasn't done anything creative since 1982 on DIVER DOWN with LITTLE GUITARS.

Listen to LOU, he knows what VAN HALEN meant to people and the chemisty DLR and EVH had that made them great!

What the FUCK has SPAM done to make ED a better guitarist or at least creative???? GIVE TO LIVE??? :D

LISTEN TO ME WISE MAGIC & CAN"T GET THIS STUFF NO MORE...DO YOU HEAR THE DIFFERENCE???????????? If you don't, let me hook you up with a EAR SPECIALIST

I'm Laughing My Fucking Ass Off at your statement to "Listen to Lou"... Here we fucking go...

If I recall correctly Lou has never seen Edward, Alex, Michael and Dave together live... he was too young to have experieinced "The Mighty Van Halen"!!! Doesn't mean Lou's opinion and taste in music is invalid due to his age... it's just that I don't look to Lou as a voice of experience... on this matter.

Based on your statement you were probably still attached to your mommy's tit when Dave and the boys made history... Are you and Lou even musicians? Guitar players? Or just a blow-hard net-geek on an internet Bboard blowing smoke out your ignorant ass?

Look TMR... I started playing guitar in 1969 at the age of 11. I was 20 years old when I 1st saw Van Halen in Oakland, Ca at the Day on the Green in July 1978. At the time I was performing in most of the major clubs/venues in the San Francisco bay area and doing studio work in many of the major studios there too. I've probably had a guitar in my hands longer than you've been alive... So please don't try and tell me about how some flamboyant lead singer pushed the innovative guitarist to create his best work and a singer change turned this creative genius into crap. It doubtful you'd be able to distinguish a pentatonic minor scale from your dick in your hand let alone understand the composition structures of Ed's guitar playing.

I've listened to both MWM & CGTSNM numerous times... both are tunes that Ed wrote somewhere between the FUCK and Balance albums that ended up being workable for what Dave could lay lyrics to and even then it was a pretty hard struggle to get those tracks down. Dave wasn't within a 100 miles of Ed when the basis for those tracks were laid down... So tell me how does Ed become a better guitar player when multi-layered and heavily processed strained singing is laid down on an empty track on a left-over backing track that was written a couple of years previously with another singer in the band??

Zahzoo, who asked for your resume?

And you're wrong, the music for those 2 tunes were recorded while Dave was in the studio. Yeah, they had the music for CGTSNM when Sammie was around (not sure about MWM). But its a fact that they recorded them when Dave was around.

Some ingredients work well together. I think Daves voice and Eds guitar make a good mix. A very good mix! And I don't think its a coincedence that Ed sounds VERY inspired on those 2 tunes.

Perhaps you should go back and listen to Source of Infection. Or better yet - Sucker in a 3 Piece. Gimme a break!

[perticelli]

i will admit that noone would push ed to the limits that dave would.

If ed has lost his own fire in his playing, i dont hear it. i hear different playing sometimes, but not less passion.

I do agree,however, that dave would push him to the limit. I think it's a good,valid point.

both of those songs wre around way before dlr came back into the picture. Eddie played dlr MWM and dave said it sounded too dark....and if you think dlr sounds good on that track, you seriously need youre ears fixed. He is pushing his already strained voice to the point of ridicoulous. But the speaking thing worked cuz his voice was shot.
