I don't think dave wanted them to cover the music but to listen what "modern" music could sound like...just giving some input, exchanging ideas, getting creative and make it "new" classic =VH=...

I have recently changed my mind on this. I went from laughing at the idea to understanding what the purpose was. It's just a source of inspiration. roth is sharp about the musical approach. But somewhere his sense gets derailed and this massive fuckin ego takes over.

btw. stop posting that stupid photo.

When you have lots of Larg, like Dave and myself do, having an ego is just...well, common. You HAVE to let your grateness out somehow.

This one?

Now you're showing your age, grumpy gramps.

Have you ever listened to an entire CD of theirs? Heard it blasting in a club full of sweating, writhing chicks in tube tops rocking out on E? Shit can be pretty mind blowing when you're all horned up and whacked out on chemicals and weed... :D

Even if you don't dig the beats, etc, the CD's can at least be appreciated on a production level. Supersonic highs and lows, gut-shaking bass, and wild, anarchic sirens and crap. Highly effective in the right setting.

Sammy Hagar in an interview with Norway's Metal Express July 2005:

"We tried to do an album. We only got three songs done. It took four months to do three songs. So I was saying, 'Let's go out and play for the people before this whole thing ends.' 'Cause if you remember right, they tried to do an album with Gary Cherone — the second record — and that didn't finish. Then they tried to do a record with Dave [Lee Roth] three times, and they never got it done. So I was seeing that coming."

So Mike, you said the reason things didn't work out with Dave was because of his ego? So what was the problem when attempting to record with Gary in 1999, and Sammy in late 2003 and early 2004?

Doesn't sound like Dave's the problem to me.

They were obviously able to get through a lot more work with Dave, which tells me that's who Eddie and Alex really wanted to work with.

But when it came down to signing contracts, it had to be on their terms only.
