Intervention

[LOS35]

After watching Metallica's Some Kind of Monster, VH (The Original) should do the same! Go to a secluded getaway with a psychiatrist and secruity! Work the DAM THING OUT before their too old!!
Just a thought....

Can you imagine how much money they could stand to make with a farewell tour!! More than the 2 van hagar tours combined!!

After watching Mettalica's some kind of monster...I was even more turned off from the band. I think over exposure (personal lives) kills a rockstar quicker then you think. If VH is meant to get back together with Roth then it WILL happen. If not..that's life...

"Some Kind Of Monster" was among the worst ideas that once great band has ever had.

Fuck them.

Dave said it best.

Something along the lines of the members of the New York Philharmonic aren't all friends, they don't even know everyone's name, but it doesn't stop them from performing together.

Couldn't find the fucking quote.

it ain't about personalities, i don't think.

they did ok during the aborted 2000 reunion. nobody said anything bad about the other during it. (and al didn't speak at all, which is probably best!)

but the business end was the hold up. (eddie blamed "the lawyers.") either about money, or control of the band.

i've said it before, but i maintain that this was it: eddie wanted it to be like it was with gary and sam; eddie had control. selected which music was used, etc. dave likely wanted it the way it was when he was in the band; dave selecting everything. after all, it was pretty damned successful.

ultimately, neither would agree. yet, the good news, if there was any, was that despite disagreements, there was no shit-talking.

so, either they can agree to compromise or they can't. so far they can't.

I can't believe how "weak" mettalica looked in that so called movie. I have NO problem with people getting help..fighting addictions..ect. But c'mon..that's some personal shit. The whole world doesnt need to know your fucking personal problems. We just want to listen to the music and rock out. That was like finding out there was no santa and shit. Enough...

Agreed, but for some of us who still hold a glimmer of hope and after turning on VH-1 classic to see from 81 Oakland "So This Is Love". Getting all hyped up watching what once was The Greatest Rock band!
We can only hope to see them one last time!!

I've been watching the US festival and Fresno '78 boots...You forget just how much they were THE SHIT...they could not be touched. I'd like to see Dave light that same fire under Ed's ass again....

That whole Some Kinda Monster biz was a turn-off, agreed. Made Metallica look like a bunch of little boys who couldn't get anything done without a bunch of father-figure shrinks holding their hands every step of the way. Sure, Hetfield had a drinking problem. Not an easy thing for everyone who has one to beat. Fine. Go to rehab, kick it (or don't ), keep it to yourself and shut the fuck up about it.

See, the thing with CVH is that the music is paramount. After Dave left, the only thing interesting about the band was the running soap opera between present and former band members (helluva lot more interesting than anything coming outta 5150 post-1984, at any RATE). Now, even THAT is getting tired.

If Ed, Al, Mike and Dave need an intervention to get CVH up and rolling again, whatever. Just don't publicize that shit. Personally, I think all CVH need is the WILL to do it, and the fortitude to stick it out and work through interpersonal issues on their own. These are men in their 50s, here.

Ed, Al and Mike just need to shut the fuck up, plug in and play. Dave will take care of all the vocal requirements, both onstage and in the media. Sit back and watch the money roll in.

nice post

I've wondered if Ed ever listens to the old stuff with Roth and what he thinks

(I don't know about him, but I'd be kicking myself)

I'm betting he wonders "Where have all the good times gone?"
