all i know is that IF there is ever a reunion i hope they come to my city at the beginning because i know if its near the end the show will suck, or just be cancelled

how did the brothers and the bass player fuck up roth? what are you talking about? roth left halen. that's a fact. he went to fuckin hollywood. member?

you are an omnipresent spirit (representing many rothards)of the egomaniac dlr haunting the artistic integrity of everything van halen. this interview is proof that the brothers gave roth a shot (3 fuckin times) and roth (and your voodoo spirits haunting us all) couldn't pull it off. Have you heard the chemical brothers??? U got to be kidding me. "new spin on vh music?" Laugh my fuckin ass off. how can anyone around here continue to dog evh when roth is just as bad if not worse?? what else do you rothards do anyway?? shitting on evh doesn't even hold water anymore. Hypocracy!! PACK IT UP BOYS. LAST CALL MOTHER FUCKERS. THIS SITE IS TOAST!!

The music that inspired ROTH while in the VH band (Pre-Hollywood) was music that he grew up with, such as Motown, James Brown, as well as Zeppelin and your standard Rockers of the day... With that said, ROTH was bringing in the Chemical Bros. as a mere example of music theory - not to sound, copy or mimick their music - VH has their own unique sound. If music is art, then why not be open to listen and maybe pick up ona riff that can be incorporated in a VH song ?

Vistadelrey....what's your story? What do you mean by What do us ROTHTARDS to anyway? You haven't convinced me that ROTH is the evil spirit.

No one is intentionally getting on EVH, but tell me, Big V, you think EVH is the Saint of VH? Sure, it takes two to tango and both ED & DAVE need to ego themselves down if they ever intend to make magic again. But, Big V, what does EVH creatively and artistically contribute to VH music and Fans TODAY, NOW, MARCH 2006...WHAT??

EVH doesn't even contribute to his website for his fans, so doesn't that tell you what he thinks of YOU?

Yeah, but Dave is headstrong. And he was there at the beginning, before the money, before the home studios, before Van Halen was anything anyone was talking about or going to see.

He was there from the ground floor and helped build the fucker. Hagar and Cherone remodeled the building a la Queer Eye, but what everyone remembers is CVH.

So why should Dave tone it down? It's just like Roth was saying in the late 1990s after the first reunion flopped, along the lines of bringing all that anger and sonic fury along with them into the songwriting process, into rehearsals and on the road...competition between Dave and Ed was what ignited the whole thing to begin with. Holding hands in some Some Kinda Monster group therapy bullshit isn't what Van Halen needs.

These are grown fucking men, here. See, I get the sense that Dave knows who he is and is comfortable in his own skin and has an overall positive attitude, whereas Ed is really a whiny bitch who is just plain jealous of Dave and unhappy with himself.

But none of that needs to prohibit then from making music together. Ed and Sam were constantly hugging when Van Hagar first came to be, and them getting along didn't make for exciting music in my book.

Ed and Al just need to decide that they're gonna do it, that they're gonna treat Mike and Dave as equals in this thing and stop thinking of Van Halen as their band and realize people want to see all four of them together. Meth mouth needs to lay off the pipe, go back and relearn the CVH catalog, and maybe playing that music will spark some new killer riffs and ideas, which will in turn prod Dave to do his thing...I mean, is it just me who sees how fucking EASY this should be?

Another spirit haunting us all. "why should he tone it down?" the question should be. Why should he turn up the heat? When he does he loses millions appparently.

thing is dlr really is closer to the circle than he has been in a long time. he is available and ready to go. so are the brothers.
MA? whatever.
Roth wants it. the question is how bad. apparently evh has tons of material. who can deny it. the weirdo was playing music over a phone conversation a few days ago! his hermit lifestyle includes making music and everyone knows it. but can roth shut his mouth? million dollar question. literally.

I can't believe it! excellent post. I was expecting something about sodomy or incest. It's just too common around here. anyway I do believe (as I just posted) evh has tons of material. If he doesn't he is just liar.
Now we are getting to the heart of the matter. Yes Eddie's ego is real and problematic. But unlike dlr it is (IMHO) torn from the same cloth of integrity. If not integrity then conviction. he is truly a musician and that has to be dealt with. Musicians are like touchy wives. You may be right about a certain situation but in order for the marriage to continue there you've got to take the high road for some common ground. More often than not the non-bitch must take the high road. (Roth in this case) Yes Roth is the non bitch in this situation. But don't get caught up in that cuz it is eddie that brings most to the table. deny it all you want I swear to you you will still end up in the dark on that argument. . people really sound stupid when they dog eddie's guitar enovations and sound. it's just ignorant.
Roth is not evil at all. he is just the gigalo that can't rise to the occasion of recognizing who eddie is. there's no respect there. this was apparent on the radio a couple weeks back. we all know this.

Seems to me just anouther Blame Dave Crapfest....

Half Daves part........... BULLSH!T

What i see is, once again, the Blame Dave scenario is the excuse
for this Bands suckfest and mike seems to lay -Dave Blame- as the problem of the 2004 reunion tour w Hagar as well?.WTF

Mike sais The Majic was there after one song (w/Dave) .....

Well Buddy mike, I say the majic left with Roth in 85 and if you
found it again YOU should bust everyone's ass to keep it
and stop blamming Dave for VH inability to Function
on a level all can deal with.

Seems like 3 against one and then.... they.... the three.. blame Dave

FUK ME!

Daves music post Van Halen all of it is 500% of a increase in quality
Rock over ANY V/Hagar tune ever ...Plain and Simple

Mike Ed Al the -Big Three????- Oh Shit i just crapped my self...

Heres my scenario I hope Dave never lowers himself to play
with Cry Halen until he busts them all in the face with a

!!!!!!You Suk shaddap and play!!!!!!.....This is Van Halen with Roth!!! RITE!!!
you played Van Hagar now its time to Play Van Halen with Roth!

Her How It Go!

Keep the faith Dave Don't Play Front man for left over van hagar music


Dave on Muthas!

I think the guy has standards, and wants to do a reunion the right way, 100% flame on. Now how's that going to happen with these other three dickwads who've spent their last 20 years in great material comfort? They're still living off what Dave helped build, they haven't done anything credible without Dave. They have exposed themselves in the music to be nothing but average musicians. Don't believe me? Just listen to everything Van Hagar and Cherone. For the most part, it's very very mediocre music.
I enjoyed the article and think Mike really opened up and let out a few of his own frustrations about the whole filthy little mess. But Mike, why didn't you go solo when it all started to go pair shaped? Too comfortable? Liked having the Van Halen status?
I fully realize Dave's big ego, but if he didn't have it he'd have stayed with Van Halen back in 1984, trudging around like a meek little pussy keeling to Ed's stupid misguided ways. And I've always been convinced that Ed's ego is BIGGER than Dave's. So a lot of this doesn't add up. Dave isn't doing this because he's not willing to settle for second best. I say fuck 'em Dave. Fuck nostalgia, something a few of you are guilty of. Fuck sentimentality. What does it matter? Dave doesn't want to fuck the 'real' fans and dish them up anything less than 'Classic Van Halen'. With these three turkeys, I'd rather it stay a memory. I want to see healthy, living large, kick arse attitudes up there on stage, not a bunch of 'old buffoons, waddling around like they're at the family barbecue, trying to imitate what they used to do for a living.'
It's over, don't fucking settle Dave. Fuck the money.

Great post!

The fact Dave wouldn't do it for $50m says a lot. Mike just doesn't get it because he's been selling his soul to the brothers for years.

But I still think we'll get a CVH reunion. Dave sounded very optimistic after his phone chat with Alex earlier this year. Perhaps Alex is working on getting Eddie right for something down the track.

Respectfully. This is more of the omnipresent spirit called ego and pride.

total drivel. It's a total claptrap and always draws a crowd.

IMO.

The only thing I can say about this is he is truly a weirdo. I hope he is making music that can be heard one day. Even dead it's worth something to me.
Look at the other extreme that is worse. Sammy Hagar. What a whore dog. Go to his website and he's probably posted there earlier today with a nice photo of his latest Hawaiian shirt. He is a joke.

EVH and web pages? I don’t know how to answer that. It could be that there is a certain degree of new false inclusion that the internet brings to the fan base. I guess if he has a web site he should communicate. That is very true. He’s a weirdo man. I’m not mad at him for this. Who am I?

You contribute alot to be thought about before answering...BUT, I must disagree with your quote about ROTH not recognizing who ED is and the lack of respect that ROTH supposedly has.

If you watched the DVD "Early Van Halen Years" (2003), ROTH is interviewed and maintains that when he first witnessed ED on stage in the Pasadena Days (before ROTH joined VH), ROTH was mezmerized by ED and considered him a mentor. ROTH said, "I want to do with my voice and my feet what ED does with his guitar. Ed has been a mentor of mine."

The tone of that statement still stands today. Not only does it stand, but you know as well as I that ROTH is totally anal and a perfectionist regarding the talent of the musicians he gathers to work with.
ROTH also points this out in his book, CFTH. Stating that ED & AL are excellent musicians and he makes it clear that they are the BEST he has ever worked with.

DAVE doesn't disrespect ED personally or professionally at all - it's the opposite. Dave may put ED down on his show, but most of us who follow the VH & DLR situation, realize that DLR is blowing off steam...he's mad, he's hungry to get the magic going again with ED. I think some of us (not all) feel the same....sure, we may make comments about ED that speak negatively, but it's only due to our frustration of seeing these guys, so effen talented, so much better than what's out there today and knowing that it's an ego-driven feud that keeps them apart from making the magic happen again.

DAVE respects the hell out ED and I do as well....But yeah, Dave is simply pissed that the minds haven't reconciled and decided to get the party started again.

[vistadelrey]

Well I will say this is the first exchange I have had on this site that is refreshingly informative.

I did hear roth on the radio when he spoke about "big trouble" and the other unreleased stuff. he is so much more than hagar as a frontman and downright sharp. still. that is roth. but what about the eddie side of things. do you agree that roth should take the high road somewhere. do this based on the delicate nature of a musician. I mean you explained that he respects him. if that is true than think about the behavior that goes along with respect. respect can just be a word ya know. It is a fine line. I'm not saying he should suck eddies dick. I'm just saying roth's gotta perform somehow. get it done. that's what i got from this interview at least. he didn't get it done. It's not like people say it is where eddie won't give a nanosecond of his time to roth.

btw. why did roth really leave in 84. give me your informative side of the story rather than the vile spewing community that i am used to. cuz that is crucial.
