Could you check on that bro thanks.Originally posted by Big Troubles
But I remember Gary being interviewed saying "you could tell the fans felt cheated, some were chanting David while others just boo'd". Im gonna check MTV.com or VH1.com for that exact quote.

Gary admitted he had been in contact with Ed before the 1996 VMA's, so all the bullshit from the sisters about not having contacted Gary prior are just that, bullshit.
Am willing to wager part of the reason they said "fuck it" regarding a full-blown reunion with Dave was that they had Gary on the back burner as early as August of 1996.
Van Halen 3 didn't sell well, and had some bottom-scraping moments that almost made the Van Hagar era sound good (NewWorld, How Many Say I?.........content aside, most of the album has all the production value of a Fostex 4-track demo tape). But Fire In The Hole and Ballot or the Bullet at least demonstrated that the band wasn't totally asleep.
I think Gary knew going in that he wasn't going to be accepted, and he was definitely aware that people wanted to see Van Halen with Roth at the helm.
Fondling his own ass on that Live At The Ten Spot show was definitely not on, but Gary gets the nod for at least attempting material from the classic Van Halen catalog other than the only four tunes Red Cheese would ever do (Jump, Panama, Aint Talkin Bout Love, You Really Got Me). It was nice to know Ed could still play Unchained, Meanstreet, Romeo Delight and I'm The One, and the rest of the band could more or less keep up with him.
Far as what led to the November 1999 Cherone split, if it was pressure from Warner Brothers (am unsure when Van Halen was exactly dropped from the WB roster...was it 2000? And was VH let go from WB or was it mutual.....never clear on the facts about that), the failure of the Van Halen 3 lineup to go platinum, or just Gary realizing that even Roth would have an uphill struggle making saleable, quality music with EVH and Co by the turn of the millenium.......maybe a combination of all three.
DLR 1998 "I'm the fun in Van Halen. Always will be. Just as there will only be one Ali........as far as getting someone else to fill my shoes in Van Halen, well, you're welcome to keep trying!"Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment
